Or just vote him out.

Welcome to the planet Earth Mr. Jones. You didn't pick the best moment to visit, but do enjoy your stay.

I was just watching ET with the kids actually. Back from when America actually was great!

As some have said, if you want the best person for the job, democracy isn't the answer.

 

 

Do the "some" who said it include Hitler, Pol Pot, Stalin, Mao, Mussolini, Daphne off Eggheads, etc?

I can only welcome their intention to fact check and provide alternative view on everything which will be said in the 2020 election, but somehow I doubt they will be able to do that.  

 

On the violence inducing tweet, as far as I can see from the media, they first blocked it than made it visible in the public interest or something. And that is sort of my point, it is not their role to block stupid or harmful stuff US President comes up with, public should know what Trump is saying (tweeting). It's up to the public to react. The problem is not so much that you are effectively de-platforming the US President, the problem is that you have the US President that you feel needs de-platforming.  And it shouldn't be Twitter's decision, the public has a right to know he wrote that tweet and be able to see it.  

Like I said, the tweet was from his personal account, not the POTUS account.  Also, they didn't take it down; they put the equivalent of NSFW tags on it: "this tweet contravenes our policies, but if you want to see it, click here".  The public still get to know what Trump is tweeting, but the they also get to know that the Twitter rules that apply to everyone else can also be applied to him.  As someone who has been booted off Twitter (for merely telling George Osborne to "fuck off and die") I don't consider these flags on two of Trump's personal tweets as "deplatforming".

Awesome! Still looks the same too, although maybe a new swimming pool.

Hitler was voted for, so I suspect he was happy enough with voting and populism initially.

 

No, I was thinking more along the lines of "intellectual" social commentators... who see people like Boris Johnson, Trump, George W. Bush, Tony Blair etc elected... and contemplate.

 

I'm happy enough with democracy... trouble is, you have to take the good with the bad.

 

Mostly bad.

Are his POTUS tweets more Lincolnian or Kennedian than his grimy personal account ones?

Yeah, but it would require a considerable level of political naivety to believe they were tagging all tweets that needed tagging that day and someone said, oh, look this one's from Trump.

 

I think they should not meddle. The user should remain responsible for the content, otherwise you open a can of worms, which Trump's executive order is now contributing towards.

 

And I wouldn't ban you for that.

Boss isn't it. Imagine living there! Yeah the pool wasn't in the film. Shame really. 

 

I lose myself for ages on Google maps. I "drove" from that house into Central LA on there once. Took me about an hour. Worth it though. 

[TheHowieLama]

The irony of the fella who has abused social media the most - and gained the most from that abuse - now trying this fuckwittery is very bigly.

Yes, traffic is always bad in LA.

Not to mention, biting the hand that has fed his impropriety in a sumptuous and princely fashion.

He can always fuck off to Gab with Tommy and Milo.

It's a bit of a leap to claim he's being deplatformed when, through all his years of hateful bullshit, he has never had a single tweet removed.

True, but if you consider the importance of the channel for him and see this as a potential start of the process, it is not such a (beep) giant leap, more of a (beep) small step.  

[Section_31]

He's just Tweeting random words now, 'China' is the latest one. It's grim to watch, the guy is quite literally losing his marbles in front of the world. What times. 

[Rico1304]

I think there’s a not unreasonable expectation that the President isn’t lying to the world 3 or 4 times a day to further his own interests and not the interests of the country.

[Section_31]

I do genuinely wonder what it'd take for Mich McConnell or the Secret Service or Pence or whoever to walk into the Oval Office and remove him, like if he was looking for the nuclear briefcase in a packet of Monster Munch and was sat there naked with shit all over his face would anyone in that entire administration do anything about it? 

[Bobby Hundreds]

Pence believes in biblical Armageddon. I trust that corpse less than Trump. 

[Grinch]

He's all bluster.   Most American presidents have been able to start wars for profit, rape foreign lands, aid Israel and basically do as they please.   Some of them like Obama are able to do this whilst maintaining a good guy image. 

 

This cunt has basically just spoke shit on twitter non stop.

His goofball social media fella re-tweeted it on the POTUS account and that was flagged as well.

[sir roger]

Not sure why there is outrage on Trump's behalf. He is still allowed to put anything he wants out on the platform . With the new guidance re 2020 election , Biden would presumably face the same warning message  if he posts cobblers on there.
