Also, lol at Trump who freaked the fuck out over the executive order that created DACA (since the DREAM Act has been in political gridlock for approximately 20 years), which was to get work permits to undocumented people (so they can work, go to college, you know- human shit) who were brought here as young children and are basically indistinguishable from other Americans in every other meaningful way.
No, Donald- this is a way more justifiable use of the president's power of executive order, which you used to rend your garment over daily. What an asshole."I'm anti, can't no government handle a commando / Your man don't want it, Trump's a bitch! I'll make his whole brand go under,"Comment

I know a few of us around here lean that way. And I agree that once you identify as a libertarian, it is difficult to curb it's extremist temptations."...you pointy-headed autopsy nerd.

If twitter wants to add editorial comments and opinions to people's posts, they can. I believe that the first amendment gives them that right. That is not the argument here. However, they now become a publisher instead of just a platform. As a publisher they now may be liable for anything that is said on their platform not to mention not fact checking them all. Twitter is dumb to do try to do this. The market is rallying but TWTR is going the opposite direction so I think a lot of folks agree.Originally posted by Jeff Lebowski View Post
BTW, if twitter doesn't get its facts straight they will be an easy target for lawsuits given their new status as a publisher:

LOL meaning Trump can immediately be dragged into court for the storage unit of libel he has saved up on Twitter? Sweet.

Yeah, good luck trying to sue the president but he does has the right to express his opinion as well.Originally posted by Commando View Post
LOL... Even Mark Fuckerberg thinks Twitter are a bunch of dumbasses:
FaceBook clearly doesn't want to be associated with those twitter dipsh*ts."If there is one thing I am, it's always right." -Ted Nugent.

Show your work here Ted. Where in the law would a publisher be held liable for user generated content but a platform would not?Originally posted by Uncle Ted View PostComment

I just can't comprehend why people are opposed to mail-in ballots. We have been doing that for years in Utah (as mentioned in the tweet) and it is wonderful.Originally posted by Uncle Ted View Post
I don't think twitter needs to fact check trump. You can safely assume that 90% of the garbage he tweets is wrong. I guess it would make more sense to comment on the rare occasion when he happened to say something true.
