Trump Loses His Mind After Twitter Flags His Tweets

Jack Dorsey and the folks at Twitter have entered into a war that they never thought they'd have to fight, but they are also clearly not afraid to fight it. After Trump signed his executive order allowing people to claim political bias against social media outlets, Twitter hit Trump again with another warning label for a tweet that he sent that allegedly glorified violence (which it definitely did.) Ring of Fire's Farron Cousins explains what's happening.

On Thursday, Donald Trump signed his executive order. That was a very clear violation of the first amendment. The federal government trying to regulate the speech of corporations, right? Trying to tell the media essentially what they can or can not do or say, because social media might be social, but it's media nonetheless and according to Trump's executive order, if, if anyone perceives bias from a social media outlet, Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, if, if that's your thing, uh, you can go ahead and file a complaint and the FCC or the FTC, depending on, I guess the level of the complaint, uh, one of those government agencies is going to waste tax dollars to investigate that for you. And then if they find out there was political bias, who the hell knows what will happen by then? Because we'll never get to that point. Folks, this is a violation of the constitution.

Legal scholars on the right and left have already looked at this and said, ah, you can't do that. It doesn't matter how conservative the court system is. Wherever this gets challenged, it ain't going to stand. So you can't do that. This whole thing will be struck down and it's all going to be a distant memory of the president who tried to crap on the constitution and Institute his own version of fascism here in the United States. That is exactly what's happening. But to their credit, Twitter's not backing down because let's not forget this whole thing began because Twitter put a tiny little fact check on one of the numerous lies Donald Trump tells every single day they've been letting him get away with it forever. They'd gotten huge public backlash for not to reigning him in or suspending his account. He was using it to promote hate to spread misinformation. Finally, this week they said, okay, he lied about voter fraud and Malin voting. So we put a little disclaimer and said, Hey, get the truth about it. That's what set them over the edge. That little statement from Donald Trump is what allowed him or made him, excuse me, violate the constitution. That's how little it takes. That's how fancy of he is.

Here's the thing. Twitter's not backing down. And I love that because it Donald Trump's Friday morning tweet where he said that, uh, the people in Minnesota were thugs and that he was tempted to send the military there to start shooting Twitter. Put a disclaimer on that. Essentially, they hid the tweet, they put a disclaimer over it saying that this tweet glorifies violence. But you know, we believe it's in the public interest who leave it available because obviously it's from the president of the United States. Uh, but we have to put the disclaimer up because yes, in fact, it does glorify violence. Now, just by the way, Donald Trump retweeted a, a, an account that called for the death of Democrats. It said, the only good Democrats, a dead Democrat, and Trump retweeted that

So we have this disclaimer, we have Twitter saying, all right, you're going to be a Dick to us. We're going to make you pay for everything. Every time you now violate our rules, we're going to enforce it. We're not gonna look the other way anymore. This isn't going to be a one off instance in every single time you screw up, we're going to make sure the public knows about it. We're going to make sure that you can't do this anymore. We're going to make sure that people understand that.
