Trump Signs Order to Allow Punishing Social Media Over Site Content: President Trump signed an executive order on Thursday that could open the door for the U.S. government to assume oversight of political speech on the Internet, the new directive seeks to change a federal law that has spared tech companies from being sued or held liable for most posts, photos and videos shared by people who use their sites.

Now, as scary as all this may seem, the funny thing is - is that most of us who’ve read Orwell have always assumed that “Big Brother” would end up being a ruthlessly efficient organization of “evil Bond geniuses,” not a bunch of babbling, half-wits - working for a mentally challenged moron who just loves conspiracy theories and who has the attention span of a fire ant.

Anyway, it appears that the good folks over in Trumplandia believe that the Second Amendment is the only “real” amendment. Now, I realize geography isn’t one of his strongest suits, but sometimes I think there may a chance the President may mistakenly believe he’s President of Russia instead of the US.

Now, I have an excellent alternative to all this totalitarianism executive order nonsense. How about instead, we pass a bill declaring that “no official government business may be conducted over Twitter?”
