Facebook and Twitter had technical geniuses leading those companies. Truth Social is led by a political hack who cannot attract or retain technical talent. Facebook and Twitter never had a 93% collapse in user traffic like Truth Social did. I don't know the two company's exact stock history but...

I'm not sure they think they are going to win. The retirements you mention are an indicator of that. I have not seen any prominent Democrat or any left-leaning news organization even suggest they think the Democrats will keep control of the U.S. House after the 2022 elections. There may be some...

Yes, that's right. It's the deal that has been in place since swampland was where Disney stands now. And it's worked just fine for 50 years. Now there's trouble because of Desantis's deeds...

And some ventures become hopelessly lost. Truth Social is a corpse in need of a decent burial.

Disney overstepped no bounds. As a business, it has the same rights and freedom of expression as any other entity in America. And DeSantis, Republicans and no one else has the right to say otherwise ... no more than I have the right to say you have overstepped your bounds if you say something I...

I know very little about the gurus or Truth Social's use of them. And I know nothing about Truth Social's remaining tech staff. I'm simply basing my views on observable results, which give credibility to reports that Truth Social is having a hard time attracting and/or retaining tech talent.

A Truth Social Outage, and More Lies Truth Social had an outage Monday, suggesting it's tech issues are not getting better, but getting worse. Two key tech gurus resigned from Truth Social a few weeks ago. No word yet about them being replaced. The outage suggests their absence is being felt...

As time passes and perspective is gained, books will be written about the COVID-19 pandemic and the world's response to it. Yesterday's federal court ruling will likely be a landmark day in the historical accounts. With airports and airlines no longer requiring masks, most other entities are...

A New Kind of Fake News of Truth Social "On Tuesday, an Axios reporter tweeted that Fox News had a verified account on Truth Social. Nunes also touted the network’s arrival in a now deleted message, writing, 'Great to have RSS feed for @FoxNews now LIVE here on TRUTH! This adds to @OAN and...

I agree.

Devin Niunes' Latest Statements About Truth Social "Truth Social CEO and ex-congressman Devin Nunes stumbled with wild speculation and ridiculous claims during a Fox Business Network grilling on Thursday morning, all while bad news and ridicule of the Trump-owned social-media platform continue...

The Trump Effect in Georga ... None Polling has now been done which allows us to determine what effect, if any, Trump's rally in support of Perdue made. The weather may explain why Trump ended up speaking to a bunch of empty seats. It does not explain Trump's anemic effect on voter opinion...

And apparently, some think real crimes were committed, including the man who committed them.

With that quip, I think DeSantis boosted Abram's campaign contributions by a lot. A number of liberals nationwide will now see supporting Abrams as a way to make a statement against DeSantis. He just gave Abram's a fundraising gift, enhancing her ability to raise money out of state she may not...
