Discussion: Twitter Announces It Won't Block World Leaders' Tweets

I totally disagree with the movement to revoke his Twitter account. It’s probable that a number of past (and maybe present) tweets will be used in impeachment proceedings. Why deny him the opportunity to hang himself?

I could not agree more. Twitter has done more damage to the Trump presidency than almost anything else. Everybody hates his tweets including his supporters.

If you follow that suit I hope you give us updates once in awhile. I’m so glad they are suing.

I hope, dear srfromgr, you have seen the cat in a shark suit on the Roomba chasing a duckling. That may be the ultimate Roomba video.

I forgot about the dog so I had to watch it again and after 15 times I still laugh out loud and that damn cat in that suit riding that roomba in circles. I cannot figure out how they got that cat to be ok with the suit, let alone to stay on the Roomba and go around and around

Somebody is very fucking patient.

The dog seems to be a hammerhead shark, yeah. hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

That’s a relief. Or it would be if I ever used my Twitter account to tweet.

In other words, the President of the United States.will be held to a lower standard than Joe and Jill Shmoe from Sheboygan, who can be banned from Twitter if they break the rules.

Great, just what Trump needs – validation for the idea that the rules the rest of us have to live by don’t apply to him.

There is about a 99.99999999999% chance Trump takes this as his cue to double down with the blatant lies, race-baiting and vicious personal attacks. (And the other .000000000001% chance is mostly just the possibility that we get hit with an earth-destroying meteoroid before he has his next Twitter tantrum.)

What a freaking abdication of responsibility. What is a “world leader” started calling some ethnic group “crickets”, and urged his followers to form “self-protection groups” with machetes? I mean, not like that has ever happened before.

I’d imagine once he has a Federal inmate number they’ll cut him off.
