After billionaire Elon Musk — who is in the process of acquiring Twitter — said Tuesday he would let former President Donald Trump back on the platform if the deal is completed, former California Rep. Devin Nunes, the executive behind rival app "Truth Social," spoke to Fox News.

Nunes previously insisted that Trump will not return to Twitter if the ban was lifted (though there are reasons to be skeptical of that claim) and doubled down Tuesday when speaking to host Martha MacCallum.

"Look, we’re very supportive of what Elon is saying," Nunes said. "The question is, will he accomplish what he’s saying, dealing with all the employees, dealing with all the algorithms. But the goal has been for us, for President Trump, is to give the American people their voice back, and open the internet back up, and that's what we're trying to create.

Trump only recently started posting on Truth Social. The Daily Beast reported in April that Trump is “furious” about Truth Social’s troubled launch and “appears disengaged from trying to turn the platform around, much less post on it.”

The headline should have read "Nunes unleashes stream of lies" since Truth (Un)Social has been a total flop with a waiting line a mile long. Hopefully, Nunes will be out of a job soon.

1. It's fine, everything's fine.

5. Devin Nunes's cow seems happy.

What a FLOP he is though.

As well as still out of Congress, which is a good thing.

[Achilleaze]

3. "Me and TFG are working on some fresh, new Republican lies about Truth Social." - Nunes

"When the time is right we will shovel our FRESH NEW IMPROVED LIES out to Fox, to the Russian bots, and other Republican propaganda spigots. So bugger off till then, all you suckers and losers out there." - Nunes

4. The problem with Pendejo45 going back to twitter and a problem for Mr. Cow himself ...

is that UnTruth Anti-Social is leveraged big time.
Their share of stock/options and the SPAC that help launch UnTruth Anti-Social
would go after Pendejo45, once their shares start to dive.

Pendejo45 knows this.
He can not be seen using Twitter if he gets back on.

[aggiesal]

9. That would mean that Musk would have to buy out that crappy network as well ...

I don't believe it would be worth any amount of money in its current situation.

[not fooled]

23. Ooh, yeah nice way to launder

a few hundred million into red don's pockets. Elon loves him so much, wouldn't be a problem, right? And just think of all the grift and tax cuts he could get from the Federal gov't if he helps re-install red don in the White House, so just an investment for the future. Like MBS with Jared.

Love the cow gif up above.

6. Investors sunk hundreds of millions into truth social thinking tRump would only use that site

they will not be happy if he returns to twitdom.

8. Nunes is milking it for all its worth

Mooooooo

11. What is a "stream of cope"? I think it is not exactly "coping". Lost in translation?

[Grokenstein]

13. Probably related to "copium."

via Know Your Meme:

Copium is a portmanteau of the words "cope" and "opium" used to describe a fictional drug to help one deal with loss. It is frequently used in a meme featuring Pepe the Frog hooked to an oxygen tank labeled "copium."

[Bernardo de La Paz]

20. Interesting trope except the frog. Perhaps some recycling back to the root word "cope" after all.Thx

[muriel_volestrangler]

15. "A coping mechanism or self-delusion one clings to in order to endure the hopelessness or despair...

... of existence", according to Wiktionary https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/cope#Noun

Similar things at the Urban Dictionary: https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Cope

Strange of SFGate to use slang like that in a politics headline. Perhaps they want to indicate Nunes isn't worth serious coverage.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

21. I thought "cope" (verb) was extremely widely known. Nounification is recent, it seems to me. Thanks

[Grokenstein]

12. "in the process of acquiring Twitter" "if the deal is completed"

Blah blah blah. To paraphrase myself from another post yesterday:

Prince Elon sees the world as a pit of gormless apes, over which he stands. Every so often he throws a dead snake down into the pit to savor the shrieking, shit-flinging panic as the apes attack each other. (Just like dim donnie, and just like the SC "leaks." )

The sad part is, presence in the pit is completely voluntary. The exit's wide open.

14. There goes Devin's cash cow, his gravy train

Cow says "Moo and a fuck you, Devin"

[Achilleaze]

18. What about Gormy apes?

Will they be treated the same as the Gormless ones?

Asking for a Gormy buddy.

16. Touch Trump. Go ahead, I dare ya, Elon.

[NBachers]

19. Poor Numnutz is an udder failure again.

I used to really get pissed off at him, but now he just supplies me with chuckle fodder.

[Rob H.]

22. Looks like Nunes shouldn't have quit his day job

Like a lot of people who've done business with Hair Fuhrer, he got suckered--if only there'd been some clue his soon-to-be-ex-boss is a terrible person....

[YoshidaYui]

25. "TRUTH SOCIAL"

Two words, so Donald Trump would remember what it was... created by the mind of a two year old.

[EarnestPutz]

26. Yawn. When is Trump not "enraged" about one thing or another? Get back to me.....

......when he keels over.

[Martin68]

27. What is a "stream of cope?"

[ificandream]

28. I'm beginning to wonder if the Twitter deal will even happen.

Sure, Elon says he wants Trumpnuts back in there, but would it be worth the headaches he would bring Musk? Or might Musk buy Twitter after all and all the talk about Trump coming back is a charade?

29. what is a "stream of cope"?

30. "Hopefully, Nunes will be out of a job soon." He could always startup a new business making cheese.

[SKKY]

31. This guy has no idea how IT works. The fact he even mentions algorithms only proves...

...that fact. No wonder Truth Social has been such an overwhelming success.

[BradBo]

32. Ha!!!!!! Nunes an idiot. Trump will be back on in an instant.

[onecaliberal]

33. Trump, musk, devin and their ilk speak FOR russia, NOT AMERICA.
