The FEC unanimously rejected Matt Gaetz's complaint accusing Twitter of interfering in the 2020 election by using fact-check labels on Trump's tweets

 

The Federal Election Commission unanimously rejected a complaint by Republican Rep. Matt Gaetz of Florida, which alleged that Twitter was interfering in the 2020 presidential election by affixing "fact-check" labels to some of former President Trump's tweets.

 

In May of 2020, after Twitter first applied fact-check labels to factually inaccurate tweets about mail-in voting by the president, Gaetz announced on Tucker Carlson's Fox News show that he was filing a complaint with the commission.

 

"Twitter is interfering with an election. If we just wait around, big tech will steal this election from Donald Trump and the American people," Gaetz said in a press release at the time.

 

A December legal analysis by the commission found that Twitter's conduct failed to meet the criteria of being an illegal contribution or expenditure, in part because the fact checks themselves did not include references to Trump's candidacy.

 

"[Gaetz's] argument is not borne out by the content of Twitter's post, however, which does not reference his status as a candidate, the upcoming election, or exhort readers to vote in a certain way," reads the analysis. "Instead, it describes Trump's tweets as "unsubstantiated" and references various news sources that cast doubt on his claims."

Whopping 61 Percent of REPUBLICANS Want Trump to Face Primary Opponent — Or Not to Run at ALL in 2024

 

A new poll shows that a large majority of Republican voters want former President Donald Trump to either face a primary challenge in 2024 — or not to run at all.

 

Despite trying to keep himself in the spotlight with campaign-style rallies, television interviews, and tweet-style statements that he’s no longer allowed to tweet, a new poll from Echelon Insights shows a far-from iron grip on Republicans for the Florida resort owner.

 

Republican-leaning respondents to the poll were asked “Which of the following would you prefer to see in the 2024 Republican presidential primary?”

 

Only 30 percent replied “I’d like to see Donald Trump running unopposed,” while 39 percent said “I’d like to see Donald Trump running and other major candidates running too,” and another 22 percent said “I’d like to see Donald Trump not running.”

Another way to look at this is 69% of Republicans want Trump to run in 2024.

I don’t see why people still go to Donny’s rallies.  There won’t be a campaign for president until 23. He’s just babbling. Is your life so pathetic; you need to hear Donny Yapp his dumb mouth.

 

Also, how stupid are those black people wearing blacks for Trump shirt.

Being serious, I think it's like going to hear a televangelist. They're excited for an opportunity to meet their hero and to listen to him preach their gospel.

I've said this all along about Trump and his followers. It's the same group (not all, but many) that possess the traits that people like Jim Bakker swindled money from to create PTL and also pretty much any other televangelist like Jimmy Swaggart that contradict the message they send. The Righteous Gemstones (HBO series) would be something I would consider reality television.

Clinical psychologist wonders if Trump fans will ever realize he actually hates them

 

In May of this year, Donald Trump began telling associates that he plans to run for president in 2024 if he is healthy enough. In July, he told dinner pals that he is running. Just this month, he reiterated that he is likely to run again. The twice-impeached ex-president is increasing his media appearances and planning campaign-style rallies in Georgia and Iowa.

 

Trump's humiliating defeat to Joe Biden — which he refuses to acknowledge even occurred — has fomented a yearning for redemption. Whether he actually runs again remains uncertain, but he wants his supporters to be ready, willing and primed.

 

As Trump keeps his millions of supporters in suspense, they must answer one difficult question: Do they really want to continue to support a man who despises them and hurts them?

Donald Trump has always abhorred his supporters. He does not feel an ounce of empathy or affection for those who profess their devotion to him. He sees his supporters as weak, stupid and inferior. They are losers to him. He hates his supporters as much as he wants to destroy his detractors.

 

Actions speak louder than words. Just look at Trump's actions toward his supporters.

 

The best example is his detached, irresponsible and inept handling of the COVID-19 pandemic. Hundreds of thousands of Americans died on his watch. He relied on conspiracy theories, magical thinking, blatant lies and distractions to fool the American public. Trump followers in red states have died in huge numbers because they erroneously and foolishly believed he was the benevolent master of their fate. Nothing could be further from the truth. He was, in fact, an accessory to murder. His supporters' lives meant nothing to him.

 

Another example is Trump's incitement of the insurrection of the Capitol on Jan. 6. He was willing to overthrow democracy in order to remain in power. So he fabricated the Big Lie, knowing full well that his cult followers would carry out his anti-democratic mission. Was he on the front line with his supporters? Of course not — because he is a coward. He watched it all unfold on television as he cheered them on from the protected and comfortable surroundings of the White House. Trump wanted the election undermined and demanded that followers accomplish that goal. The result was failure, destruction, deaths, arrests and widespread condemnation. Trump has left his followers dangling in defeat. He has taken no responsibility for his incitement and has demonstrated no concern or remorse for his loyalists who face damaging legal consequences. He has thrown them under the bus because he detests them.

 

Millions of aggrieved Americans have tethered themselves to Trump's fake persona of superiority and strength. They think he is the answer to their prayers. They think he cares about their lot in life. They think he will remedy their grievances. But nothing could be further from the truth.

 

Trump is a shameless opportunist. He manipulates people to achieve his personal goals, then discards them. He does not care if his supporters are racists, felons, crooks or murderers. He does not care if they are xenophobes or misogynists. He will accept the support of anyone who will blindly follow his lead and put him on a pedestal — after all, exalted status is what he longs for. He desperately wants to be a dictator so that his grifting and corrupt impulses can run wild. And, remember, dictators only care about themselves and loathe people who expect anything from them.
