If this this considered humorous, I know we are another step closer to Idiocracy.

She’s an attention whore and a media brat who no longer has any moral authority from which to criticize Trump’s character. Go Twitter your Daddy to your and his content Ms. Lockwood! Some of us are trying to elect a damn president here!

It’s an account belonging to a public person who has been verified by Twitter as actually being that person, as opposed to one of the zillion parody or fan accounts using some variation of their name.

I’m not sure you have to be either young or hip to think this is funny!

Wow there’s a lot of ā€œliberal moralizingā€ on this thread. Chill out people!

When did The New Republic become a Liberal magazine?

Not moralizing. If a strategy hurts your cause, I can’t see what the point is? Not understand how corporate media operates, has hurt liberals for 2 decades. Feeding into it is dumb, no morality at play here. I could care less if she curses in her own free time.

He’d like to.

Liberals don’t have morals?

Not sure how it hurts our cause to have a little fun!

There is a difference between having morals and moralizing which means judging others by one’s morals.

…and you don’t believe its right to judge someone on moral grounds? Have to disagree with you there, but I also think that particular point is moot. I do not believe Ms. Lockwood felt this tweet was moral, by her moral code or anyone else’s. On the contrary, I believe she deliberately tweeted immorality as clickbait. Because she enjoyed shocking people. And because she is an attention whore.

To say that Ms. Lockwood’s tweet is appropriate is to obsolesce the term ā€œappropriateā€. No. Ms. Lockwood’s tweet was inappropriate, obscene, and wrong. Period.

Then I guess we have different standards :wink:

Different beliefs maybe. But standards are supposed to be societal. That’s why they are called ā€˜standards’. By all means standards can be questioned. But I see little point in mocking them.

a verified Twittah account helps prevent user fraud, because the user’s id (usually a celebrity) is confirmed by Twitter’s management.

Thanks, inversion, and that makes perfect sense. Not keeping up with most social media today (boy I feel old) leaves me clueless to some of the things … even what should seem obvious. Thanks.
