President Trump raged against Twitter on Friday morning after the social media company added a warning label to a tweet he posted in the middle of the night implying that protesters in Minneapolis could be shot, escalating tensions between the president and his favorite online megaphone.
Amid the unrest in Minnesota, the president took time out to expand on his feud with Twitter, accusing it of targeting conservatives and him in particular and calling for legislation to revoke the company’s legal liability protections that are foundational to its business. The official White House account then reposted the tweet that had been flagged in a move meant to defy the company. Twitter responded by adding the same notice on the White House account.
The company said Mr. Trump’s original post violated its rules against glorifying violence, and it prevented users from viewing the tweet without reading a brief notice, the first time it has restricted one of the president’s messages in this way. Twitter also blocked users from liking or replying to Mr. Trump’s post, though they were still allowed to retweet it if they added a comment of their own.
But Twitter did not take the tweet down, saying it was in the public’s interest that the message remain accessible.
Keep in mind that while Trump labels these folks “thugs” he called the neo-Nazis who ran down a young woman in Charlottesville “very fine people.”
Trump’s racism is on full display and should be very instructional for those mailing in their ballots come November.

FB>”Just Trump threatening, AGAIN, to send the military to kill some Americans.
Last I checked, the president doesn’t have this authority. It would have to be the governor who deployed the National Guard in a state law enforcement role. Something something posse comitatus.
Here’s an idea: send in the military to arrest the cop who murdered a black man on TV.”<Jim Wright

Trump has repeatedly touted the Rasmussen daily tracking poll as representative of American sentiment about his presidency, citing it at least 28 times on Twitter.

That is SO awesome that the little sh*tstain (or his toadies) thought he could get around it by shifting to WH acct and they slapped a notice on that too.
This is what Be Best is to address. Flotus was to do something about evil fools on the internet.

Chauvin was among five officers who chased Leroy Martinez, who had been spotted with a pistol, in a housing complex. Another officer shot Martinez, and all of the officers were placed on leave but were absolved of any wrongdoing. City records show 17 complaints against Chauvin, the AP reported, and 16 were closed with no discipline. One complaint resulted in two letters of reprimand.

trumpgate!
He isn’t going to stop until he has a tweet pulled, then his account frozen. It’s just going to escalate because no one filters Trump. No one tells him what to do. It’s all part of his mental illness, exacerbated by the Dementia.
So they put a warning, but leave his LIES and violence provoking statements up anyway. what good does that do?
They should label them LIES or STRANGER TO THE TRUTH and VIOLENT CONTENT.
I really don’t understand how this is not an impeachable offense, the so called president is calling for violence against American Citizens !!!!
