It is a stunt - and if it were any other president, he'd take the L because escalating and not letting it go would create a political and constitutional crisis, so while the law is exquisitely clear to everyone I say to you, HERE WE GO!!
User Banned (3 Weeks): Antagonizing another user across multiple posts, prior bans for similar behavior
Weird thing to clutch your pearls about.
What a chickenshit. And he was too cheap and lazy to get @donaldtrump so he uses the cheesy-ass @realdonaldtrump, corny as hell.
Too bad @jackboot won't ban his ass, he brings in too many eyeballs and ad revenue.

What is the order?
Who enforces it?
Since the FCC can't just ban Twitter from the web, I'm not sure how this can be anything other than an Order making a Commission to Study the Awful No Good Very Bad Censorship of Conservatives on the Internet run by Kris Kobach and Jared Kushner.
embarrassing piece of shit.
he's more outraged by being fact checked about something he's 100000000% wrong about then people getting murdered by cops. not to mention a killer virus out there wiping out 100k americans in a few months.
how he gets any support at this point, as he's becoming completely and utterly unhinged says everything you need to know about the gop and those ppl

This.
This is all to distract on how he's golfing and fire up his base to vote in November.
He's been doing this since 2016.
The Trump media cycle. I guess the Joe Scarborough thing fizzled out.
Because when they lie, it's called an opinion. If truth is relative, they can say what they want. If someone says something they don't want to hear, they are labeled "the other side". There are always two sides to a story, right!
Imagine, looking at the elections since 2016 combined with the continued ineptitude of everything Trump has done and thinking that there's any chance in hell that Trump will be able to do anything to avoid his ass getting kicked.
The only big worry is what he does between election day and Biden's inauguration.
I used to work in retail, and my retort to asshole customers who would bring out that chestnut was to point to the door and say "No, that out there is America. You want to go out there and stomp your feet, go nuts. This is a business with policies you'll follow or you get booted out."
Not really you don't need to literally dress a white supremacist man up as a woman to shit on him
There's no guarantee his hand picked judges don't just give him what he orders, Constitution be damned. It's basically will Roberts care enough deal. Like there's actually a lot of glib responses here to what is potentially a catastrophic threat if the right (wrong) people in the justice system rule on it. I think using a specific meme so casually detracts from that.
Mixing the very real threat with ha ha ha Trump is such a white woman right now... is pretty darn stupid.
Like the meme actually becomes sexist when you start implying that the behaviour is inherently female. Which is what calling Trump a man Karen and putting women's hair on him is doing. Let's not o actually ruin a good meme.

Yes yes whine some more. Seems like a lot of people are getting tired of his shit. I think covid19 broke the camel's back because all the polling shows that the more he whines, deflects and doesn't take responsibility,the lower he gets on the polls. It's pretty remarkable to see the sudden drops especially when his numbers have been stable throughout his presidency.
He is basically just confirming what everyone already thinks when he acts this way. Biden apologizing on his gaffe right away and actually looking presidential on Monday is probably not helping Trump's numbers either.

The thing is, he HAS exacted retribution on individuals/states/companies he doesn't like and nobody has stopped him, so Twitter may very well decide it is in their best interest to bend the knee.
I have no idea what he'll attempt- only that he won't let it go even if it means misapplying some emergency FCC wartime level craziness. If your point is that there's literally nothing obvious or rationally legal he can do then I'm not actually disagreeing with you - just saying that he's going to do something stupid and destructive and try to use presidential authority or senate majority to try it.
There's no way the Supreme Court would have his back on this (assuming it's something that prevents Twitter from fact checking him).
Unless the order is to nationalize Twitter or something, in which case yeah still nah.

there's no way the Supreme Court would interfere to guarantee one party the election and presidency and there's no way they'd force people to vote in person if a real ROSk of death was involved either.
They'll all go to Parler or Gab. Many of them already have.
This isn't the same. The Roberts court is notoriously pro-business, and especially through the lens of the First Amendment. This would be 9-0 against Trump.
You guys think it's stupid because it'll be thrown out, but they know that it'll cost Twitter to fight it and spook their investors. It's not about the freedom of speech, it's about sending a message.
Or they don't fight it and just see what happens? What can Trump honestly do?
Worst case Twitter moves their servers and headquarters to a different country and Trump can't touch them
When i was saying he was going to create his own social media, i wasn't kiding..... i would be really happy about that.
Well yeah, that's the kind of First Amendment violation not even the Supreme Court could overlook.
