I looked up "the Truth" demographics, and it was white man as you'd expect. But many were younger, and college-educated.

It may be skewed because less than half of seniors use iPhone, who could download the app. less than a third, use an Android smart phone and couldn't get it through the app store (could side-load it but unlikely).

I think its users are skewed to younger and college-educated, because this would be the target for any smart-phone app. Also I think it's further skewed by "ironic users": trolls and journalists.

Axios: Scoop: Truth Social's Google Play Store holdup

Google hasn't yet approved Truth Social's Android app for distribution via its Play Store because of insufficient content moderation, a Google spokesperson tells Axios.

Driving the news: Truth Social CEO Devin Nunes last week claimed the decision about when the app would be available on Android "is up to Google," but Google insists that the ball is in Truth Social's court.

...Truth Social does have "sensitive content" banners that appear before some posts that read "This content may not be suitable for all audiences," but content that threatens violence remains on the platform.

For example, in response to a post from former Trump national security adviser Michael Flynn, an account called "TheVictim24" posted last week:

"It's be nice if you people weren't just okay with the military and police stage a rebellion and framing civilians.

Zero people trust the police and if the military comes in, we'll kill them.

Someone admit this nation needs to be nuked because it's satanic."

That post wasn't labeled....

Another opinion piece from Fox News, discussing the view that the Republicans need to let Trump go: https://www.foxnews.com/media/wapo-columnist-pleads-gop-admit-dems-right-about-trump-ditch-him-avoid-party-suicide

 

Yes I understand (now) they're different parts of the Fox organisation, but in all seriousness, that doesn't work for the casual Fox News watcher, who would assume they're all the same thing.

kingdragonfly: Jamie Foxx Gives His Best Donald Trump Impression

Rap Radar

 

I wonder what the 'Orange Buffoon' thinks about a person of colour doing derogatory impressions of him. 🙉

 

Its a wonder Jamie Foxx isn't on someone's hit list.





Whilst the difficult we can do immediately, the impossible takes a bit longer. However, miracles you will have to wait for.

MAGA supporters are terrorists and should be dealt accordingly.

Hilarious! MSNBC reports on empty classified folder on display in Trump Tower bar:



No need to watch the video there's not much more to it.

None of these in sight
  • Trump steaks (16 steaks at NZD $2,600)
  • Trump bottled water (in plastic bottles naturally)
  • "Trump" board game
  • Trump vodka in sight.


I'm guessing there's no Trump beds in Mar-a-largo either (rebadged Serta), rated 2.2 stars out of 5.

Esquire 2018: People Are Wasting Real Money on Empty Bottles of Trump's Failed Vodka

...The original [Vodka] glassmaker ... sued over unpaid invoices. He melted half a million Trump Vodka mini-bottles, he says, casting them back into the fire.

This is probably the least surprising fact about Trump Vodka.

More interesting is the story about how Trump Vodka saw a resurgence as a Passover-approved drink in Israel, until its kosher credentials turned out to be fake. Oy vey.

That's not an opinion piece, it's someone paraphrasing the Washington Post using more weasel words per square centimeter than I've seen for a long time: claimed, alleged, writing as though, insisted, began with the premise, etc. It sounds like someone who wants to have an opinion of their own but is so scared of any possible repercussions that they've written it in such a way that it can be walked back at the drop of an AR15 safety catch.

The Guardian - William Barr defends FBI and justice department over Mar-a-Lago search

 

today

 


Former attorney general William Barr came to the defense of the FBI and the justice department’s (DoJ) judicial request to search Donald Trump’s Florida home and country club compound last month, saying Friday that documents seized in the search appeared to support the department’s claims of a national security risk.

 

As more information comes out, the actions of the department look more understandable,” Barr told the New York Times in an interview.

 

It seems to me they were driven by concern about highly sensitive information being strewn all over a country club, and it was taking them almost two years to get it back,” he said.

 

The former attorney general, who resigned in December 2020 as Trump ramped up his claims that the election has been rigged, also dismissed Trump’s call for an independent review of materials confiscated from Mar-a-Lago by a “special master”.

 

I think it’s a crock of shit,” Barr said. “I don’t think a special master is called for.”

From the same party where
  • Currently serving Florida congressman Matt Gaetz is still waiting to face the Justice Dept. over trafficking and sex with an underage girl

  • Trump took two years to supported child molester Alabama governor Roy Moore, but only remove an endorsement after it looked like he wouldn't be re-elected after public outcry.

  • Used to party with Jeffrey Epstein, and publicly joked "he likes them young."


Katherine Hoffman is running for the state superintendent of public instruction, herself a new mother. She is baselessly accused by the GOP of being a “groomer,” targeting children for sexual abuse

And yet they seem all offended when MAGA are called fascists.
