Quote:At a campaign rally aboard the USS Yorktown in Mount Pleasant, S.C., Trump suggested that Microsoft founder Bill Gates, could possibly help censor parts of the online world. "We're losing a lot of people because of the Internet," Trump said. "We have to see Bill Gates and a lot of different people that really understand what's happening. We have to talk to them about, maybe in certain areas, closing that Internet up in some way."

"Somebody will say, 'Oh freedom of speech, freedom of speech,'" he added, dismissing the objection with an arm wave. "These are foolish people."

And the "Trump = early Hitler" theory keeps gaining evidence.

We need to limit their influences.

haha. let's avoid the scary problems in the world and just censor.

We can't have them influence our kids. We also need to round up every book on Islam at every bookstore, home, and library and have a national firepit on Capitol Hill. We have no choice.

LOL, the guy isn't even trying anymore. He's getting bored, and he's getting more and more outlandish just to see how far he can take this until people decide to get off his crazy train. I believe even he must be surprised about how far he's been able to go with the outlandish buffoonery.

While we're at it, we should install cameras and microphones in everyone's home. We can't take the chance that someone claiming to be Christian, Jewish, or atheist is actually a Muslim.

I think that there is a test they can take.

He's starting to act like he is a university president.

I'm not sure how you could possibly pull this off.

The funny (scary) thing is that Hillary said almost the exact same thing:

Quote:We’re going to have to have more support from our friends in the technology world to deny online space. Just as we have to destroy [ISIS’s] would-be caliphate, we have to deny them online space. And this is complicated. You’re going to hear all of the usual complaints, you know, freedom of speech, et cetera. But if we truly are in a war against terrorism and we are truly looking for ways to shut off their funding, shut off the flow of foreign fighters, then we’ve got to shut off their means of communicating.

Doh

The theory I saw from a Rice poster is that Trump really doesn't want to be president. It's probably a good publicity draw for his other endeavors, but being president would be a big pay cut for him and a lot of work and stress. So he's started to up his ante with his crazy talk, just trying to figure out what he has to say to finally get people to say 'Woah, let's think about this a little bit longer.'

But so far it's not working very well.

Actually that sounds vaguely familiar, like it was the plot from some movie in the past (maybe Bulworth with Warren Beatty is what I'm thinking of?).

Trump's talking crazy, on purpose. He's trying to pull the rip cord on his potential nomination.

He will get the nomination. Who is going to stop him? Jeb Bush?

I saw where Jeb is now at 3% in in the polls.
