Wouldn’t it be fun if while this executive order/temper tantrum is winding it’s way through the courts, Twitter banned all political tweets and all tweets by politicians? ---

The only good Republicans are dead republicans. Oh, what’s that, Republicans? Problem? The problem is on your end, see, you obviously are incapable of telling when I’m joking or being sarcastic. So fuck you. ---

Isn’t Twitter a private business (not that the damn dirty lying sack of dung has any idea of what _private_, let alone _business_, means)? I can see them “exercising our right to refuse service to anyone”. Last I checked, “orange jackass” is not a protected class. ---

Anyone of us can compile a list of untruths and conspiracy theories on his twitter account in a few minutes. Twitter should Simply put a list of his latest bullshit tweets and those that are violent in content. Tell him to apologize for the tweets and his account reinstated. That’s my dream. Successful business people smothering the rants of a failed business person. ---

The damn dirty lying sack of dung really does want to be the head of a military dictatorship, exactly like his fucking heroes: Putin, Kim, and, you guessed it, Hitler. Want to know what’s actually dishonoring Floyd’s memory? The damn dirty lying sack of dung trying to misappropriate it for his own political glory. What’s dishonoring the memory of every Black or non-white person killed under the color of authority or killed with no fear of legal consequences is the president of the country calling Nazis, Klansmen, and other assorted white supremacists “very fine people”, hiring the aforementioned scum of humanity, and every single other racist, bigoted, and insane stunt he’s pulled since he cheated his way into office. Why are people rioting over this? There’s already proof that the damn dirty lying sack of dung will pardon someone for flat out murdering people he doesn’t like. In that case, it was a Muslim prisoner. So, what’s the likelihood that he would not pardon the cops if they get convicted of murdering someone else he doesn’t like, this time a Black man? I’m going to go with zero on that. ---

**Monty** , when people are doing the emphasis thing, I have trouble seeing just bolding, so I use colours as well. I’d specifically picked blue to avoid confusing the colour-blind. _Mea culpa_ :smack: Maybe I’ll try italics next time… FTR, the emphasized text was: “People will be able to Retweet with Comment, but will not be able to Like, Reply or Retweet it.” [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/butt-hurt-trump-takes-to-twitter-again-part-1/772428.md?page=436) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/butt-hurt-trump-takes-to-twitter-again-part-1/772428.md?page=438)
