kingdragonfly: The Daily Beast: Truth Social Users Are Fuming Over ‘Censorship’ on Trump’s Platform

Claims of “censorship” are flying on Donald Trump’s alternative social media platform, Truth Social.

The main point of contention among users is that Trump’s site continues to apply “sensitive content” notices obscuring some posts, including a popular anti-Biden meme that mocks the president over increasing inflation rates.

“This content may not be suitable for all audiences,” the notice states.

That content warning has also covered up a popular graphic depicting Jesus Christ and a quote from the Bible with a gray filter, leaving users fuming.

“Truth Social loves censorship,” one user wrote, whose bio on the site included the hashtag “NoMoreRINOs.”

Another pro-Trump user, “Ultra MAGA Peanut,” responded on the platform that Truth Social “should be embarrassed over this censorship.”

“Sadly, I see so many innocent posts that are marked as sensitive,” the user, @sammyrisley, wrote. “It is almost as bad as Twitter,” a further MAGA-loving user declared.

“Thought Trump was all about the Truth!!!!” another user exclaimed.
...

 

This is what happens in right wing authoritarian dictatorships, censorship. Have they not learnt that! Oh that’s right they lack education due to a lack of self thinking brain cells - baaaa anyone?





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

Amen to that!

 

I wonder what those two are doing now, and, indeed if they even still support Trump, never mind voting for him.

“If I announced I was not going to run for office, the persecution of Donald Trump would immediately stop,” Trump said at the Turning Point USA Student Action Summit. “But that’s what they want me to do. And you know what? There’s no chance I do that.”

 

Uh, no. At least I don't think they would stop investigating him.

Trump and Desantis fight for the heart of the GOP in Florida




Whenever you see "Florida" in the headline, you know what you're in for. Trump and Desantis brought this to mind:

Trump Peeved He Couldn’t Give Himself the Medal of Honor: ‘They Wouldn’t Let Me Do It’

 

25 July 2022

 


Former President Donald Trump admitted Saturday that after he flew to Iraq aboard Air Force One that he wanted to give himself the Medal of Honor - the country’s highest award for military valor in action - but was told he wasn’t allowed to.

 

As president, I wanted to give myself the Congressional Medal of Honor, but they wouldn’t let me do it … they said that would be inappropriate,” Trump said on July 23 at the Turning Point USA summit ...

 

The Congressional Medal of Honor, which is typically presented by the president in the name of Congress, represents values of “bravery, courage, sacrifice [and] integrity,” and is only awarded for military valor in action.

 

 

 

 

Poor Donald - nobody understands him  🙄

He just asked 150 years too late. In the 19th century the Medal of Honour was very different from what it is today, and was awarded for things like simply turning up to re-enlist (NY regiment) or massacring unarmed women and children (Wounded Knee).

 

 

Just pointing out that, like Ukraine, it's not always black-and-white.

They are so smart... Lehigh County man charged in January 6 Capitol riot (mcall.com)

 

 

A Lehigh County man who allegedly called the FBI in January 2021 to admit he was at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6 has been charged with participating in the riot that day.

 

Samuel Fontanez Rodriguez of Emmaus was charged Friday with knowingly entering or remaining in a restricted building or grounds without lawful authority and three other offenses including disorderly conduct on Capitol grounds, according to court documents.

 

According to court documents filed July 6, Fontanez Rodriguez called the FBI National Threat Operations Center on Jan. 22, 2021, to “clear his name” about the Jan. 6 riots that attempted to interrupt the certification of Electoral College votes in the 2020 presidential election.
