    Twitter should have banned garbage mouth trump years ago. It seems that it might finally be getting a backbone.

    So you want the government to control what goes out over the airwaves. Hello, comrade.

    Trump wasn’t denouncing the riots; he was threatening deadly military force against US civilians.

    “When the looting starts the shooting starts.”

    Black reporters for CNN can't report the news on the Minneapolis streets without getting arrested by racist cops.

    Of course, that would mean that people could sue THIS site for publishing anything they felt was inflammatory.

    True, that usually doesn't happen until the looting and the rioting start....

    Resorting to name calling speaks volumes regarding the nature of your character and the quality of your intellect.

    So who gets to decide what what political message is acceptable for a private company to have? The government? You?

    You realize that the same laws protecting Twitter also protect Political Forum, right?

    The tweet was appropriately “flagged” not censored.

    It appears Twitter is going to start holding the President to their terms of service rather than treat him like he was above them.

    They’ve unfortunately created this monster with inconsistent enforcement of their terms of service.

    I don't suppose you remember your support for net neutrality now do you.... That wasn't actually a question, but a comment on how you supported such a while back. And now? Now you don't see any need for government to enforce a standard that removes the privilege of broadcasting from those who would advocate for the violent overthrow of the United States? How many "kill the white folk" tweets does it take, in your estimation, before Twitter might have a responsibility to actually step up and enforce their own TOS and remove those users? And if, and when they do not, are you really sure that the Federal government should continue to tolerate this platform allowing for that kind of violent foment against the nation? You seem entirely too conflicted here.

    Far left wing groups? China? Iran? ANTIFA?

    Neutrality should be the goal not selective censorship.

    Who gets to decide what is "neutral"? The government? You?
    Your idea of what is centrist is going to be a lot different than the majority of the country.
