Both Facebook and Twitter — over the past 15 or so hours — have blocked viewers from seeing certain statements made by the (for now) sitting president of the United States. These actions were not taken lightly. These are duly-deliberated, previously warned about remedies… for intentionally lying about matters of life-or-death public health.

Let that sink in: this man — supposedly the leader of the free world… is intentionally lying about a life or death issue, to his own base, and the world more widely — about the potential lethality of COVID-19. This, with over 210,000 of his fellow citizens dead of it, and that number is climbing every night. Here’s some of the story, from MSNBC:

…Facebook and Twitter on Tuesday took action against a post by President Donald Trump that falsely claimed the seasonal flu is more deadly than the coronavirus.

Facebook removed the post, and Twitter added a label warning of misinformation about the coronavirus before a user could click to view it. Twitter also prevented the tweet from being shared.

“As is standard with this public interest notice, engagements with the Tweet will be significantly limited,” a Twitter spokesperson told CNBC….

The core of his lie is that it is no worse than a flu. Of course, we have long had FDA approved and widely available, nearly free of charge vaccines, for the annual flu variant strains. Not so, COVID — not even close. This is a man who seems to be in the throes of a steroid therapy side-effect dementia — or the fog of COVID brain. He is actively spreading a deadly virus, and lying about it.

The 25^th Amendment may yet come into play / be needed — before election day. He is also ordering the Treasury Secretary, and the Majority Leader in the Senate to cease negotiations with Democrats in either chamber, on a second round of stimulus until after election day. Before then, it is probable that at least one airline will… fail. Call me crazy — but I think his chance of winning… is now very near zero. Out.
