U.S. President Donald Trump is expected to order a review of a law that has long protected Twitter, Facebook and Alphabet’s Google from being responsible for the material posted by their users, according to a draft executive order and a source familiar with the situation.
The order, a draft copy of which was seen by Reuters, could change before it is finalized. On Wednesday, officials said Trump will sign an executive order on social media companies on Thursday. It was not, however, listed on Trump’s official schedule for Thursday released by the White House.

He also tried to get the FCC to squelch Saturday Night Live.   That didn't get far.
Trump - defender of free speech

Wouldn't Fascistbook be more appropriate?

Watch Trump purse his lips and preen today as he signs a worthless executive order while people continue to die and he does nothingposter child for being a bully dishing it out but the moment somebody punches him in the mouth he runs away crying, both on twitter and his press conferences

Michael Moore is on board, there is no place for censorship in a Democratic society,

Quote

EXCLUSIVE, updated with new details, 11:42 AM: Michael Moore and Jeff Gibbs’ controversial documentary Planet of the Humans has been removed from YouTube, where it was streaming for free — a move the pair calls a “blatant act of censorship.”

White House to forgo summer economic forecast amid COVID-19, breaking precedent

https://thehill.com/policy/finance/499906-white-house-to-forgo-summer-economic-forecast-amid-covid-19-breaking-precedent

What?  They don't want to chart and broadcast that tremendous prosperity coming in the 3rd quarter  (according to Trump, Kudlow, Muchin, Moore, et al.)
WH twisting itself into a pretzel, once again....trying to protect Trump's re-election chances....

He didn't want people to reflect on 100,000 dead......crazier and crazier distractions every day...

I found it curious watching the US numbers last week. The Country had been averaging a steady 1,400-1,800 deaths per day although dipping slightly every weekend to closer to 1,200 daily before spiking again. Based on the usual progressions the US should have hit 100,000 Deaths on Saturday or early Sunday.  Then along comes the Memorial Day weekend with the ominous 100,000 number looming, and suddenly for 4 consecutive days on Saturday through Tuesday the numbers drop to 1,000, 615, 505, and 774, and the 100,000 is not hit until Tuesday night. Note that those three daily totals below 1,000 are all lower than anything that has been recorded since March 29, and in fact only twice in total between March 31 and May 23 did a daily total not exceed 1,000 deaths.  Are they flattening their curve? Well, on Wednesday the deaths spiked again to 1,535. So did the CDC take the weekend off and was lagging in reporting, was there an actual drop, or maybe someone in the White House did not want the headlines of 100,000 deaths being prominent on the holiday weekend and suppressed numbers until Wednesday?

They are clearly manipulating their figures and not counting all the deaths. 

 

Human stock.

He’s losing whatever tenuous grip on reality he had.  When he loses, what happens between Election Day and Inauguration Day?  He will go insane trying to reverse the election.  Do you think he will allow a transition?  Do you think he will show up for inauguration?  He’ll probably quit the day after the election and let pence do it.

Absolutely not. The Whitehoods will prevent it. Barr will prevent it.

And that would be best case scenario IMO. 

Well there is something to be said for a miserable trump sitting at the inauguration with record crowds while Biden announces the long national nightmare is over.  And all the other presidents shun trump.  Lol But he’d never go.  
 

he’s now trying to screw with twitter.  I hope this inspires twitter to clean up the Russian bots.  If they did, it would go a long way to stifling trumps sky right message.

Most are. They just pretend they are not. We see the posts here and wild articles that are not based on reality. 

Yeah I think we have to accept it as I’ve said before.  You’re with trump, you’re racist.  We all know people who you wouldn’t think were or who claim they aren’t but it’s “im not racist but...”.

That’s the ironic thing here that him screwing with twitter and like would probably hurt his bizarro base the worst.
