John Nichols: Trump wants to take the internet down with him | John Nichols

“If the FCC grants the administration’s proposal, no websites or platforms would be able to set their own standards for their online communities,” explained Gaurav Laroia, senior counsel for the grassroots media and democracy group Free Press. “It would seriously threaten the ability of marginalized groups to organize and express their views without the government forcing them to allow racist and sexist interlopers into every conversation. It would leave sites little choice but to drown in posts from bigots, propagandists, conspiracy theorists and trolls.”

Vigilance is required on every front to assure that Trump does not do more damage before Jan. 20. But defenders of honest discourse and the democracy that extends from it should be especially alert to the threat posed by Trump’s pressuring of his FCC minions might crash the internet in response to a presidential fit of pique.

Trump sat behind an itty-bitty desk, and the Internet loved it

Posted on November 28, 2020 / by [email protected]_84 /

It’s a bird. It’s a plane. It’s President Trump’s absurdly tiny desk.

The leader of the free world sat behind what appeared to be a wooden end table of some sort on Thursday, the first time he took questions from reporters since losing the presidential election. At the diminutive table, Trump conducted a video call with troops for Thanksgiving and responded to reporters’ questions about his baseless allegations of election fraud. At one point, Trump snapped at a Reuters White House correspondent, calling him a “lightweight” and saying “don’t talk to me that way” in a moment of pique.

But the internet was all about the desk.

The smooth brown tabletop, four shortish legs, and giant presidential seal barely contained Trump’s 6-foot, 3-inch frame in front of a gaggle of journalists. That, coupled with the strangely unkempt green shag carpet, giant microphone stand, and an untrimmed Christmas tree, made for

On Trump, Biden, and McCain: some observations on civility

Posted on November 27, 2020 / by [email protected]_84 /

Dear reader:

The late Sen. John McCain would have been proud of his friend President-elect Joe Biden. The two went back decades – back, even, to before Mr. McCain’s election to Congress. In the late 1970s, when the Arizona Republican was the Navy’s Senate liaison, he used to carry the young Senator Biden’s bags on overseas trips.

“That was almost 40 years ago, and by God, I still resent it,” Senator McCain joked at a 2016 event celebrating their enduring bipartisan friendship.

They were the recipients of an award for “civility in public life,” a poignant event. But has civility, I wondered, become so rare that notable practitioners merit a prize? Both men were appearing in person, so I decided to go. Here’s the story.

Now, civility seems to be in even shorter supply. The presidential election of 2020 was the ugliest in memory, and it’s still winding down. On

Comedians Buy Trump 2024 Website Domain to Call President a ‘Loser’

Posted on November 26, 2020 / by [email protected]_84 /

Two comedians have purchased and set up a website for DonaldJTrump2024.com. The site largely mocks President Donald Trump for losing the 2020 presidential election and refusing to concede.

Two comedians have purchased DonaldJTrump2024.com to mock President Donald Trump about his loss in the 2020 election. In this November 26, 2020 photo, Trump golfs at Trump National Golf Club on in Sterling, Virginia.

The website looks almost identical to Trump’s actual website, DonaldJTrump.com, even using the same main image and font. However, the comedians’ website calls Trump a “loser” six times and has a fictional quote from Trump stating, “I lost the 2020 election.” None of the website’s buttons are linked to any other webpages, essentially making the site just a standalone page.

‘Trump 2024’ Website Grabbed By Pranksters Before Trump Could Get It

Posted on November 26, 2020 / by [email protected]_84 /

It appears that President Donald Trump has been trolled after two pranksters secured the web domain ahead of a possible Trump 2024 campaign.

Trump, who has refused to concede after losing the 2020 election to President-elect Joe Biden, is the favored candidate among Republicans for a 2024 run.

Although the president uses the website “donaldjtrump.com” for his political endeavors, the “donaldjtrump2024.com” domain will undoubtedly be stumbled upon by fans of Trump so long as rumors of another presidential run persist.

The Good Liars, the name for a comedy group run by Jason Selvig and Davram Stiefler, took credit for the prank in a video posted to social media on Tuesday.

The footage, which is set to the song “Loser” by Beck, shows that the pranksters’ site is nearly identical to Trump’s. The main difference is that the duo’s version includes numerous statements referring to the president as a “loser.”

Trump Shares Video Claiming Voter Fraud Featuring ‘Cyber Analyst’ Who Was Admin of QAnon-Linked Website

Posted on November 20, 2020 / by [email protected]_84 /

A video tweeted by President Donald Trump on Wednesday, which contained a series of unsubstantiated allegations of voting fraud, featured a man who is suspected of being closely intertwined with the “QAnon” conspiracy.

In a post to his 88.9 million followers, the president pitched the clip as evidence that the November 3 election was rigged in favor of Democrat Joe Biden.

Since losing to Biden, Trump has latched onto the idea that voting machines owned by a company called Dominion may have been hacked, manipulated or tampered with to alter ballots, despite there being no evidence to suggest the claim is accurate.

The video was a news segment published on Monday by One America News Network OANN, a pro-Trump outlet. It was centered around an interview with a “cyber analyst” who suggested there were security vulnerabilities in Dominion systems.

The man, who was described as a “large
