The Trump Card...

There should be robust competition now with the social media sites. Plenty of people with phones wanting to communicate so each of them( Gettr, Twitter, Truth Social) will be better for it. Twitter had a free reign for a long while and obviously had a head start on the other ones. I think Elon Musk buying twitter will make it a better site than it was before. Look for each site to develop and improve on their special niche. Gettr does an excellent job of providing livestreams. Truth Social looks impressive so far. Twitter is allowing different opinions again. All three should experience a tremendous amount of success.

Just another lie, Phil, just another lie.
We don’t really know for sure. Should they have been fired? I don’t know. Maybe, maybe not. It’s unclear at this time why they left. Or if it had a positive or negative effect on the site and it’s testing and rollout. A lot of unknowns, so it’s just speculation at this point until more info is revealed.

They were not fired. They resigned. Trump loves to fire people and make a big show of it. If they were actually fired, we would have heard all about it. Reports came out that they resigned and no one from Trump world said otherwise. So it is not true that they were fired as you first suggested.

And yes, they moved to a different service, from a service they tried and failed to do themselves. So, yes, a lot of tech problems were quickly resolved. The thing about that move is that Truth Social is now a customer of Rumble. Thus, they exist and can only function in the ways Rumble allows. Not a big deal now, but it may prove to be hugely significant later.

Related: Something curious is going on with the financial entity behind Truth Social (TMTG) and Rumble. Rumble is a Canadian company but recently established a business address in. Sarasota Florida. TMTG recently changed its address to the same city. Different locations but they now addresses in the same small Florida city. I have no idea what this means, if anything, but it's a curious development.
Could be easier for both companies to coordinate with their businesses.

Trump doesn't need to do much publicity because the Democrats even 16 months later still bring him up.....those 2 that resigned might have been given the option to do it that way or maybe have charges made public that they did something to sabotage truth social.

Wow. Twitter misrepresented how many users they have. Looks like fraud to me. Wonder if Musk will withdraw his bid. Looks to be fraudulently over valued.

So here is what the wall is doing to people an guess who is paying for it????
Interesting item from this article:

"Border crossings have increased sharply despite the completion of the 30-foot barrier, records show. San Diego border agents made 16,660 arrests in March, roughly four times as many as they averaged monthly before 2019."

So, in that county, Trump's wall got built and border crossings increased. It seems the idea that a higher and better wall was needed to reduce illegal border crossings was mistaken. A real wall, and a really tall one too, actually got built and illegal border crossings increased.

Maybe its because Biden said to come on in.....

Thanks Phil.... More proof walls don't work.

Lack of law enforcement presence is probably a factor as well.
I think the ineffectiveness of the wall indicates that is the real factor. A wall alone will do nothing. No wall with law enforcement will. So why is there insufficient law enforcement to stop the flow of illegal immigrants? It's because our country lacks the collective political will to stop it. A lot of the food we eat and goods we use are produced with immigrant labor. The American people and the businesses that produce those goods and services want them more than they want a secure border.

If we turned off the politics and simply issued the assignment to stop all illegal border traffic, any one of us could come up with an effective solution. It's not hard to figure out how to stop the flow. The problem is, America wants the flow, so it persists. The political, social, legal and financial costs of stopping the flow are simply higher than America wants to pay. And the benefits of the flow are more desirable.

This is less of a left/right problem than it is an "I want my lawn care, farm crops, construction labor, factory labor and Mexican restaurants" problem.

Walls might not stop one person but they do keep the massive groups out.....unless the Democrats drag their feet and OH defund the border patrol and ice.....crime is up but you don't care because you feel good for letting them come in unchecked in mass.
