Trump’s economic adviser: ‘We’re taking a look’ at whether Google searches should be regulated

[Amused]

Yet another assault on private enterprise and the free press. Trump, frustrated that he cannot control the message from the free press, seeks to do just that.

What more does anyone need to realize Trump, and the GOP, are not conservatives? They are authoritarian autocrats who seek to undermine the free press and silence all criticism of their corruption.

Headlines around the world tomorrow should read, "Trump, angry at realty, seeks to regulate it.

The Trump administration is “taking a look” at whether Google and its search engine should be regulated by the government, Larry Kudlow, President Trump’s economic adviser, said Tuesday outside the White House.

“We’ll let you know,” Kudlow said. “We’re taking a look at it.”

The announcement puts the search giant squarely in the White House’s crosshairs amid wider allegations against the tech industry that it systematically discriminates against conservatives on social media and other platforms.

Kudlow’s remark to reporters came hours after Trump fired off a series of predawn tweets complaining about Google search results for “Trump News.”

In a pair of tweets posted before 6 a.m., the president said the results included only “the viewing/reporting of Fake New Media.”

He may want to ask Kavanaugh what he thinks about this.

Jabba the Trump

That face makes me want to punch it so badly.

Am i getting my parties mixed up. Republicans are the free market with sort itself out and they dont need regulations, right?

 

[senseamp]

It's just empty talk. There is no law that allows them to regulate Google, and the First Amendment that bans it explicitly.

 

[soundforbjt]

Trump, like all rightys is always the victim..

 

[ch33zw1z]

Using government to silence free speech. Huh, it's almost like all this time republicans we're just telling is what they were gonna do

 

[Fanatical Meat]

Can’t wait for our Libertarian/Conservative members to explain Net Neutrality regulations are not needed but google search result regulations are needed.

 

[nakedfrog]

So confused, I thought regulation was bad?

 

[zzyzxroad]

Kim Jong Un doesn’t have to put up with this type of crap on his internet so why should Trump?

 

[balloonshark]

Wait. I thought your search results were based on your search history. Is this telling us that he searches for and reads mostly "fake news"?

 

[WelshBloke]

You want to be keeping an eye on those people who say that they need the second amendments to protect the first!
I bet they'll all be right on this.

 

[brycejones]

Where are our concerned conservatives in this? If Obama or Hillary had proposed this we would be looking at wall to wall outrage threads in minutes.

 

[Rifter]

They should filter his twitter account before moving onto any further filtering. Priorities people!

I find that most people who call themselves libertarians, aren't.

They are more like authoritarians which is the exact opposite. They love free expression but do not want others to have it, only themselves.

Yeah, just like ice sticks to a hot pan.

They don't care about either amendment, they just care about ideology and guns are fun dagnabit!

Fake news. There is no amendment other than the second.

Trump doesn't need a law to do that, he'll just do what he has done in every case and punish them in some way. It wouldn't be the first, second, third, fourth or twentieth time he did that because someone was disloyal to him.

Google should put $1B into a PAC that basically says to Republicans, you go after us, and we will go after you.

Or fund an investigation into every Trump venture.

They don’t care about ideology either - look how the ideology of evangelical Christians changed from thinking morality in a president was essential to embracing easily the most immoral president in history.

They do care about both amendments too, just only as it relates to members of their tribe. You want to see conservatives turn against the second amendment? Start a program to arm every black person in the country.

Oh they make it up as they go along, anything for God-Emperor Trump, most holy of the Christian shrine these days. They will forgive him anything...

Fuck a porn star while his wife is home nursing his son? No problem, three divorces and cheated on every single wife... No problem.

They have an ideology based on something that they play pretend is Christianity.

And yeah, as I said earlier, they care about their own paranoid delusions and that includes both shutting down dissenting voices and arming themselves.

If you took away the right to carry for everyone who couldn't pass a psych test not one of them would be allowed to carry even a pocket knife.

I just googled Charles Manson and nothing but negative stuff pops up. Google clearly has it out for him too.

 

[sportage]

THIS is just another process of a coup. A government overthrow.
So far, Donald has stuck to every single one in the list of HOW TO TAKE OVER A GOVERNMENT.
Just wait till his actions and desires hits home with those that adore and voted for him.
His followers of his cult.
But then again in a cult, the followers would follow leader off a cliff.

 

[Bitek]

Another dumb conservative cry baby rant.
I'm so tired of these.

We had a thread a little while ago asking the question why the left keeps calling conservatives dumb.

This. This is why.

Dollars to donuts this is all over the ledes for fox news today.

 

[UNCjigga]

Well, if only they hadn't gutted net neutrality, then ISPs and Internet content portals couldn't tell conservatives and conservative content to go fvck themselves.
