Official LRC President Donald J Trump Thread

Oh, boy!

President Trump's decision to block his Twitter followers for their political views is a violation of the First Amendment, a federal judge ruled Wednesday, saying that Trump's effort to silence his critics is not permissible under the U.S. Constitution because the digital space in which he engages with constituents is a public forum.

The ruling rejects administration arguments that the First Amendment does not apply to Trump in this case because he was acting as a private individual.

Yep...that's the scary thing...when Trumpers believe there is a Deep State, it makes it ok then for them to try to create one themselves.

I don't know how they can rule that Trump can't block people on his personal Twitter account. I mean Twitter and FB are censoring conservatives all over the place and everyone is saying they have the right to do that, but Trump can't block people on twitter. That doesn't make any legal sense at all.

It’s unbelievable. Trump and Republicans control all parts of the government, but yet a deep state supposedly still exists. We are 1 1/2 years into the Trump presidency and he continues to blame the deep state. If Trump were to get elected to a 2nd term, would he still be blaming the deep state in his 8th year? If there is truly a deep deep state, then stop whining and do something about it. You are never going to have more power than you have right now.

He is not a operating in the capacity of a private person. The court is correct. Trump is wrong. The USA is not a fascist country run by a dictator. If Trump want to be a private person he can quit the job. Then he can ban who he wishes.

This is how Gary thinks. He claims for decades the Dems have engaged in dirty tactics effectively cornering the policy to their advantage while the GOP played nice this whole time. So now according to him it's justified and Trump is fighting fire with fire. The GOP beat this illusion of an eroding system and society into their brains for over a decade and it backfired... when conservatives started demanding action they obviously couldn't deliver on a concept that was never real to begin with. The result is the wedge in the GOP that created the opportunity for a populist character like Trump. No wonder Gary thinks he's the savior!

DEEP STATE

Wow. The deep state granted J Kushner a security clearance. I thought the Deep State was not supposed to allow such a thing.

Which is not good for the anti-Drumpf narrative.

He would NEVER get clearance if during his second interview with Mueller ANY shred of misdeeds or suspect acquaintances were found.

He was/is Drumpf’s right hand man. If he’s untouchable then Drumpf will be too.

He is trying some of Erdogan's tactics. He's testing the public response to what he claims is a violation of his rights as president and individual. The witch hunt narrative is one of the oldest tricks in the book. Look at Turkey today... it is now illegal to insult the president there. Whenever he has a clear irrefutable problem or shortcoming, Erdogan blames Gulen who has been completely irrelevant in Turkey politics for decades. Sound familiar?

It is a sign of how bad things are when a senior official has been in a role this long as has had this much trouble getting clearance. Yet trumpers are celebrating this as a win.

The Deep State sent spies into Trump's campaign in an effort to frame him, remove him from office, and reverse the results of the election, and you don't find that scary? We really do need to split the country. There is simply no way to coexist with people who refuse to hold their people in power to some standard of law and justice. There HAS to be a common ground of some kind where we all can agree that wrong is wrong, but liberals appear to have no standards at all and will excuse ANT behavior as long as it scores a hit on the other side.

I will say it again. Liberals think that their moral superiority grants them the right to deprive others of their rights. You will be able to justify anything, and I mean anything, by saying "they deserved it" based on all the lies you tell about your political opponents, which is what you are doing here. This mentality is incompatible with a civil lawful society.

We may already be a banana republic.

To be precise, I am saying the liberals on this board who see no problem with spying on the Trump campaign are unfit to participate in a liberal society based on the rule of law.

So, Drumpf is the one who controls the Deep State. Got it. Thanks.

Unfortunately, it is a win.

If he had his clearence back and he was at the meeting at Trump Towers with the Russians, does this mean Yhe meeting is a nothing burger in the eyes of the investigation?

It is a win only if Trump controls the Deep State.
