Of course. This is almost one of the reasons I want him to run, but ultimately I think it'd be risky as he might try and run independent and self fund. He'd never win a primary, but he'd suppress the shit out of conservative fake news. It'll be easy too since so many people trust Facebook more than they trust news media.
...is nobody concerned about the idea of a man who's the head of an online conglomerate by which millions, upon millions, upon millions of Americans (not the mention the world) gathers, gets their news and forms their opinions? And that there doesn't seem to be any legal avenues in this country by which to address this?
I mean, yay Zuckerberg is a liberal technocrat whatever. But this would in reality be the relationship between Trump and Fox News, only waaaaay worse and more obvious.

Don't fret. I'm sure there'll be a ruling of some kind by Mueller and company in about 8 years or so. The damage will be done by then, though. But hey... justice will be served and all that.

They already actively mark questionable news sources. If you try to post an article from something like PatriotTruthUSA or some nonsense it is automatically flagged.

Christie is such an ass. He threatened the shutdown because Democrats wouldn't pass his pet legislation giving the governor's office authority to raid the state's largest health insurance carrier's reserve funds. That legislation has nothing to do with the budget. Yet, because the Assembly won't pass it, he said he will veto ALL line items in the budget that favor Dem interests.
Obviously this leads to a shutdown, because Dems can't pass the idiotic Horizon legislation and can't send Christie a budget over threats that he will veto whole thing. But Christie blames the Democrats for the shutdown, because they did not pass his pet legislation.
Fucking cynical bully.

Trump having never seen Toy Story doesn't surprised me. Too sophisticated.
Trump not having a clue what "infinity" means, also doesn't surprise me.
Does that matter to these people? I want to see if he starts filtering or blocking it.

This was the one morbidly interesting thing to me about a Zuckerberg presidential run. Not that he would necessarily start policing Facebook but that Facebook itself would become inherently politicized and possibly seriously cut into its user base.
brb. Gonna start working on an alternative.
sigh... you're probably right.

Donald Trump is an idiot.
That's the real takeaway.
Dude's got problems.

Guess that internal straw poll he took about the Mika tweet turned out pretty well for him.
Of course. Do you really think people would tell him honestly what they thought?
Only idiots brag about high I.Q.
Morning shit tweets are best tweets
He's doing his best to keep them in the news, love it.
Like Joe Biden

This is like an apology for Trump -- Mika and Joe should feel grateful!

Is it just me or people on GAF have a short attention span when it comes to politics? It feels like people keep explaining things to people and they just forget it happened and make the same mistake.
We've had lots of info coming in over the last couple of months. It's not surprising people don't remember it all. This is what records & google is for.

There is this weird phenomena where people refuse to let the election/primaries go and have also forgotten most of the details about what actually happened in the election/primaries. It makes for a pretty frustrating mix.

That's a hell of an attempt at a walk back.
It's a function of most of GAF having no memory or knowledge of politics before Obama.
Personally I blame the Sumerians. Nobody had to remember anything anymore once writing was invented!
It's a Trump apology.

He is mentally ill. This isnt a joke, you dont need to be a doctor to diagnose this.
Not sure I agree. Trump seems to have acted this way for a long time.

With how people treated the Democrat primaries, I would agree with you.
He's been ill for a long time.
If he's mentally ill, he likely has been for a long time.
Everything is the fault of taxes, libertarians redeemed!

He probably scored a 100, thinking he aced it and doesn't understand how it really works.
