    Im not sure of the rules for moderators on this forum but its rather standard if a moderator participates in a thread they relinquish all authority to moderate that thread

    Trump said he would shut Twitter down.
    Which means it's never gonna happen because Trump would lose his millions of followers. But I think he couldn't care less about that any more.

    I think what Trump really wants to fight is his greatest enemy; Democracy. That thing that allows voices and votes to go against him.
    Apparently Trump thinks that shooting protesters is a good way to attack that Democracy.

    So consider WHAT is actually being shut down by him...

    And this is why CNN is the enemy of the people. Two hundred businesses looted and burning and CNN thinks...... what can we do to get that number up to 1000?

    They cheer on death and destruction, I was a witness firsthand to how horrible they were to our men and women in uniform.

    Trump quitting Twitter would be the best thing for him. Or snatching his phone away and letting a professional translate for him.

    Why do you think people would react that way? Due to her skin color?

    Twitter would almost become irrelevant. He should delete his accounts and let them die on their own.

    She’s certainly a divisive figure. Far more vocal as a first lady than others. And plenty don’t want to see another Obama term. It was the 2 of them the first time and it would be the same this time.

    Twitter is already a cesspool and has done irreparable damage to our society and culture. Makes this place look like kindergarten.

    Ive come to realize social media in general has done far more harm than good. In China and other Asian cultures social currency has become an abomination. And I fear it will make its way here.

    “Plenty” being the Birther/Trump supporter crowd

    I think if Michelle stood for VP then it would devastate Trumps chances. Especially after the cluster muck up that is the Trump administrations reaction to the pandemic

    Because they lean so far left. Like blue cities ending up in piles of rubble overrun by homeless, who are treated better than the citizens paying the taxes. Facebook, Twitter and other sites will end up the same. When you fail to properly police them, allow far left fake news theories to gain a foothold, under the guise of "everyone gets an opinion", then things go radically downhill.

    In other words, it's OK to tell lies and twist the truth beyond recognition and promote hatred, as long as it promotes an agenda.

    Eventually, as they say, "the left will just eat itself". Which is true, but in the same vain, it takes down many great things with it.

    Centrists don’t dig her either. But if all you do is live in the Leftist bubble, everyone is an evil Trump supporter.

    Remind me again how serious Biden took the pandemic in January when he called Trump racist for limiting travel? Remind me what Cuomo said in NYC in January? How about Pelosi? You probably don’t know what they said?

    Trump has handled it all quite well compared to most major nations. The bailout was signed by everyone. That isn’t Trump alone. The economy wouod have horned regardless. Now the recovery?? That will be more on who decides to stay locked down. Can’t expect the states getting back to work to bankroll the states who want to sit around and leech off the others. Sorry. Your information is limited and your goggles covered in Leftist drivel.

    Only if they tweet from President Trump's account.

    Breaking News... Autopsy shows George Floyd died from Coronavirus and not trauma to the neck.

    Didn't you guys already go insane over Facebook ads? Twitter's platform can be used to influence elections, Russians can use Twitter, and I would imagine some Russians are employed by Twitter.
