Roger McNamee: Hate Speech And Disinformation Are 'Jet Fuel' For Social Media Companies | MSNBC
“I see” said the blindman who picked up his hammer and saw.
I see said the blind man to the deaf man on the telephone. 👍
@Leonidas The Great Deaf, dumb and blind kid… sure played a mean pinball.
America has an identity crisis and trumpvirus is being allowed to infect our democracy killing it piece by piece.
Kung Flu
@Heisenberg-SchrodingerEmc2 Yes, he and his trolls and bots are very hard at work at keeping his Presidency alive and kicking in spite of the Virus taking him and his Secretarial and hangers onner down. Trumpsky`s only serious concern is his reelection as if he loses a lot of people will be hitting him up for $$$$$ that he or his phony companies owe as Trumpsky consciencesly avoids paying his bills when due. His ranting and raving about drugs that will cure the Virus, such as the Hydroxi that he continues to rave about, a real unproven drug of his choice for this deadly disease are costing him his share of money from sales by gulible people who believe in this unlicensed medical doctor/pharmacist. What is the piece de resistance is his recommending of Chlorox as a “cheap cure,“ one guaranteed to land the unlucky patient-victim in a funeral home. Folks, things can only keep going downhill under the Trumpsky Administration`s mishandling of this deadly crisis.
It’s MoronAvirus.
@Ice 247 – So you calling Italians morons?
South Korea for having it under control and then having another spike recently?
I could go on, but I think you get the point.
I take that back. You probably don’t get the point and I can’t wait to hear your moronic response.
@Severin Slightly TDS? you mean Trump Delusional Syndrome? That is just for Trump Cultist….people that live in trumps fake reality.
Trumps re-election depends on hate speech and disinformation.
For example, look how Trumpsky has handled his “news conferences“ at the dinner hour: he cannot easily read his own script to the public, his speech in general shows a lack of education, and this comes from a “college educated-trained `economist` from U of Penn Wharton School of Economics? This will only get better (from Trumpsky`s perspective) assuming a miracle happens and America decides to give this Hitlerite in training four more years to totally screw this country up for a decidedly small segment of this country.
@Dave Schultz Looking at the numbers, no. Republicans are looking elsewhere for a viable leader. Trump is failing and his 60 yr. plus demographic will vote Democrat to get rid of him.
@Kevin Bardy , Do you sound that dumb in real life? What do you mean “Republicans are looking elsewhere”? There not looking in Slow Joe’s basement.
@Dave Schultz For our nation I pray that doesn’t happen. Anyone that is brain dead is multiple times more intelligent than tRump
@Moe Snert A “terrible option” is a thousand times better than trump and what his movement and what you stand for.
Misinformation will bring America down
Collapse like soviet union
Democrats gave Soviet Union a large seaport, they’re doing much better now. 😉
James Mottley Trump have the Soviet’s the entire Middle East, always trying to go one better than Obama😅. H1N1 10,000 deaths, Covid will be circa 150,000, President Plague always winning
Magical thinking, which forms the fertile ground for disinformation, will destroy America.
I fear it already has, indeed.
“I love stupid people and stupid people love me.”
– President Clorox
Ive heard of DRINKING THE KOOLAID BUT Disinfectants cant wait till they all follow his suggestion.
According to Howard Stern who has been friends with Trump for a long time, he say Trump despises his supporters and can’t stand them and would never be around them, In Trump’s mind they are just marks for his cons and schemes, and stupid ones at that. Trump doesn’t have intelligent supporters.
@Syl W Doctor Clorox Von Clowschtick the 3rd, 3rd Impeached that is.
@Kelly Fehr No it isn’t.
@Trump IS the HOAX yes it is
Disinformation and the President go hand in hand . When the deaths reach 100,000 (next week) maybe the American people will wake up and see the reality of the crisis .
@hankakah
Except they are not isolated in their non believer bubble. Those idiots will spread to those in the community. Unfortunately, there is no “only trump lovers allowed” gated, self contained community.
@Holly Baker
You seem to be the pwoor bwaybe. Cwying about the bad, meanie press not cwonfwirming wour wittle bweweefs dat twump is da gweatest pwesident in the histowy of da world.
You can lead a trump supporter to facts, but you can’t make them think.
Maybe if trump were a better president, the press wouldn’t have so much fodder.
His cult will never believe anything unless their leader gives them permission to.
The Trump supporters sadly won’t wake up… They are either hypnotized… Or seriously mentally ill… To be ok with the hate, violence and corruption… Is very sad to see.. The rest of the world will likely not travel there anymore after this.. Tourism in the states will most likely be impacted due to the stupidity of many Trump supporters! It’s just such a shame.. I can’t help but shake my head in disbelief
They won’t. They don’t even acknowledge these deaths..
Trump is the one that is always giving false information why don’t they senser the demon of America!!!
Censorship on either side sucks. Eat some taters.
☣ TRUMPANDEMIC ☣
Twitter’s rules should also apply to Trump.
Censorship is the tool of fascist. Debate is the tool of liberalism.
If someone is speaking hate speech, show them that prejudice is a hasty generalization fallacy and cure their ignorance. If you punish them you are acting like an authoritarian and they will just be more resentful, if you censor them it will only make them more resentful. Censorship mskes the problem much worse.
@Uncle Daddy Who cares. If they are dead they can’t whine any longer. 2nd
The dummies following their dummy leader so sad.
@doug field He owns the hotel. He still owns the hotel. He is currently profiting from the hotel. Lobbyists and foreign governments are spending money to hold conventions and rent out blocks of rooms while they have business before the government that can be influenced by Trump. It’s an obvious conflict of interest and most likely violates the Emoluments clause. Just pretend Obama did it and how you would feel about that. Be honest. https://www.politico.com/magazine/story/2019/10/25/trump-hotel-sale-washington-dc-229880
🐑 herder POTUS
Keep Crying Anti-American Commie
@may wilson prove to me that under Pres. Trump all corporations pay no tax liability ! lets start with that one !
@Hunter … Thank you for your Clarity. I hope it persuades EVERYONE to VOTE Trump/McConnell and the 22 McConnell Controlled GOP Senators Up for Re-election In November OUT OF OFFICE.
Hate is like taking poison and expecting the other person to die. Stay safe dearest ones. Love, Nurse Carolyn ♡
@Donald Trump Thankfully, I’ve got my own pts to care for; folks who are unable to care for themselves, not just unwilling. Seeing as you are “the healthiest individual ever elected to the presidency”, I’m sure you’ll be able to manage changing your own adult diapers. No need to _Depend_ on others for such things; as your doctor said, you’re in “astonishingly excellent health.”. 👨🏼⚕️👍
(But don’t forget to wash your hands before tearing into another hamberder!)
@Suzy Q I’ve never met a nurse who would refuse to give me a sponge bath. You a rug muncher? Lots of those running around these days. I swear we should have never let y’all vote. Your place is as nurses or homemakers.
It’s been working excellent so far for whites against blacks for over 4 centuries and it seems there’s no help for blacks in sight
Nurse Carol… I know it goes against your morals and deep-seated principles but this is my suggestion… The protesters say it is their freedom that is being taken away… I suggest all healthcare workers just walk off the job… It is YOUR freedom to do so… Don’t RISK YOUR LIVES ANY LONGER FOR those idiots protesting and wanting freedom…
I know you won’t and can’t do it but it puts everything in proper perspective.!
@S EE At our pinning ceremony as graduate nurses we take an oath to do no harm, as well we attest to never abandon our post. At least that’s what we did in 1978 ♡
There is a RED infection spreading across America
Let it be washed away with a BLUE wave in November
@Hayden H ….As Is Trump For The McConnell Controlled GOP and the Arrogant, Ineptitude that has cost 88,000 American lives.
@Hayden H Thank GOD almighty Creepy Joe will NEVER be President!! Can’t wait till President TRUMP Starts his Second Term next January
@Ann Owens I’m happy you trust those numbers because the globalist need good souls like you to rule over.
Actually it’s just red dye#45
Starfire3
So is that what that green stuff was?
talk about lies and misinformation..”INJECT DISENFECTANT”?..
@Seeker2 Above actually it was what he said and it’s actually a fact that happens in the Medical Industry Globally.
What he didn’t say was inject bleach.
Which is how the media played it.
Ethanol a Disinfectant

Injecting Ethanol
https://www.acsh.org/news/2017/09/03/ethanol-lethal-injection-tumors-11779
Hey Double, Trumpsky is running out of outlandish “cure-alls“ to sell to the public as running the U.S. Government isn`t enough of a challenge for this “Yo-Yo`President.
@Alan aka FANG He specifically said, “It would be wonderful if we could have something we could inject which works like a disinfectant.” Then he looked at his advisors and asked if something like that is possible and if they thought we could develop something which WORKS LIKE a disinfectant. As far as the light. There is already UV and laser therapy which uses light INSIDE the body just like he suggested might be possible to work on the COVID-19. Those are facts.
@Steve Puskaric I know all that, I disagree with what you heard buddy, but regardless what he said are both true. Even injecting disinfectant, so I don’t care if he said it how you heard it or how I heard it, it’s only the hating brainwashed delusional sheep who don’t understand that it’s actually a factual thing.
Alcohol is a disinfectant, the stupid brainwashed delusional sheep drink it ✌️😂
Alan aka FANG, fantastic analysis, just inject alcohol, such a better alternative LOL
false and misleading information..”the virus will miraculously disappear in april”..regardless of what the “experts say”..
Yep, Twitter should remove that poster.

United States
Coronavirus Cases:
1,524,542
Deaths:
90,902
Misinfo : it did NOT miraculously disappear .
I’m sure he meant most naturally occurring virus’. Engineered viruses may not simply disappear in April b/c they’re engineered for gain of function.
Covid-19: April came and went and I’m still here and busy, what else you got that I can prove wrong?
Why don’t they put him in jail for dangerously handling a pandemic?🤔
@James Mottley Science has proven this is not an engineered virus. Please post your address so we can rid our society of ignorance. Thank you for your cooperation.
covid-19 is a hoax” says Eric Trump, phoning from his basement. “I agree” says the day-drunk TV judge, broadcasting from isolation in her garage
The quarantine made her drunk 24/7 now.
Orange face dump and his felon kids.
Melania is complicit too
Jimmy Phillips : we will listen to the experts and continue to show the hypocrisy of trump and his cult as you all hide in your basements.
The President if you can call him that literally retweet’s conspiracy sites. That should be treasonous.
@Comfort Living Trump has been scrutinized more closely than any other president and they have found nothing. You have been listening to conspiracy theories and fake news like MSNBC for too long.
you’re the one that capitalized it and wrote about it. be honest you love It.
@Maiden Laura Laura, you see what I mean. Trumpsky is even beginning to immitate Mussolini`s “hand and face gestures.“
Don’t argue with the Trumpturds. Ignorance is bliss
@Gene Viève
No. Trump can’t and therefore doesn’t, read. You cant put Marx in a graph.
“Common sense is very uncommon.” – Mark Twain
🙈🙉🙊
Nothing has changed in 110 years.
I’m just waiting for the healthcare industry to say they have the FREEDOM to quit treating covid-19 patients… Just walk out… They have the FREEDOM to do just that…
@S EE what is your point? Millions of health care workers have already been laid off. Our hospitals are empty in America.
“US Democracy is four idiots and an engineer voting on how to get out of a hole.”
Perfect example of the White House.
Bill Gates warned us in 2015: we were going to have a major pandemic and we are not prepared. Why did Trump shut down Obama’s “Office of Pandemics” and fire all the scientists? Why did he slash funding to the CDC for years?
The NIH funded gain-of-function research, which makes SARS-like viruses more virulent and easier to transmit from animal to human, in a BSL-4 lab in Wuhan China circa 2015. In 2017, in an appearance at Georgetown University, Dr. Fauci said there would be a surprise pandemic during the Trump Administration. Back in March of 2020, Bill Gates mentioned how the entire country should be shut down for 6 to 10 weeks when the pandemic hits, that COVID-19 cases would peak during late April, that the nationwide economy would reopen a month later (late May) and that schools would reopen in the Fall. Rocket fuel for conspiracy theorists.
I fear for America, It feels like I am back in Berlin in the 1930’s where I was born. the Nazis behaved the same way.
don’t worry every empire will come to and end
Gerardo resendiz so true
The world is looking at America and going “tsk, tsk”.
I love the guy with the, “Just remember the ones selling the pandemic are also selling the vaccine” sign. Problem is that statement only works in the U.S. Most countries have universal healthcare and we’ll all get the vaccine for free.
Truth
