bipartisanreport--2020-05-27--Trump Launches All-Caps Afternoon Twitter Freakout

President Donald Trump continues to sound deeply paranoid and behaves as though essentially the entirety of government that isn ’ t staunchly loyal to his every whim is in on some kind of conspiracy against him .
Recently , he has run with the idea that as part of some kind of poorly defined , alleged scandal that he ’ s termed “ Obamagate , ” former President Barack Obama ’ s administration committed crimes amidst the Russia investigation , which in part targeted the Trump team .
This Wednesday afternoon , he rushed to Twitter with an all-caps freakout @ @ @ @ @ @ @ crimes — but the basic premise of what he alleged seemed to be completely incorrect .
There was no warrantless surveillance of the Trump team , an allegation of which the president may have in mind here , although there have also been broader concerns circulating on the right recently about supposedly overreaching government surveillance powers in general .
No matter how many times that the president and his allies passionately claim otherwise , the Obama administration acted in accordance with actual , tangible evidence when they launched the Russia investigation , and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of that investigation — which targeted individuals like one-time Trump adviser Carter Page — was conducted with a warrant .
Trump has alleged that via these other wings of the investigation , the authorities behind the Russia investigation were trying to get to him personally , but there ’ s simply no evidence of that kind of nefarious political plotting guiding the course of the Russia investigation .
None of these facts have stopped Trump from ominously proclaiming that individuals like Obama should be in jail , although Trump has yet to effectively @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Obama committed .
He sounds like he ’ s trying to be some kind of dictatorial despot .

President Donald Trump continues to sound deeply paranoid and behaves as though essentially the entirety of government that isn’t staunchly loyal to his every whim is in on some kind of conspiracy against him. Recently, he has run with the idea that as part of some kind of poorly defined, alleged scandal that he’s termed “Obamagate,” former President Barack Obama’s administration committed crimes amidst the Russia investigation, which in part targeted the Trump team. This Wednesday afternoon, he rushed to Twitter with an all-caps freakout that seemed to be about these supposed crimes — but the basic premise of what he alleged seemed to be completely incorrect.
Trump in the past has called for the execution of Edward Snowden, whose disclosures exposed an NSA surveillance program that collected American phone records in bulk, among other things. https://t.co/c5TavVP0n5 — Dustin Volz (@dnvolz) May 27, 2020

There was no warrantless surveillance of the Trump team, an allegation of which the president may have in mind here, although there have also been broader concerns circulating on the right recently about supposedly overreaching government surveillance powers in general.
No matter how many times that the president and his allies passionately claim otherwise, the Obama administration acted in accordance with actual, tangible evidence when they launched the Russia investigation, and the only surveillance that was a part of that investigation — which targeted individuals like one-time Trump adviser Carter Page — was conducted with a warrant. Trump has alleged that via these other wings of the investigation, the authorities behind the Russia investigation were trying to get to him personally, but there’s simply no evidence of that kind of nefarious political plotting guiding the course of the Russia investigation.
What did he just find out about him being on tape? https://t.co/25u0fyKgmk — Thomas E. Ricks (@tomricks1) May 27, 2020
None of these facts have stopped Trump from ominously proclaiming that individuals like Obama should be in jail, although Trump has yet to effectively actually define what crimes he alleges that Obama committed.
During a recent Fox interview, he proclaimed:
‘If I were a Democrat instead of a Republican, I think everybody would’ve been in jail a long time ago, and I’m talking with 50-year sentences…people should be going to jail for this stuff…this was all Obama. This was all Biden.’
He sounds like he’s trying to be some kind of dictatorial despot.

Fox News may regret inviting their legal analyst, Judge Andrew Napolitano, to discuss Donald Trump’s attack on Twitter. The president threatened to shut Twitter down after the company fact-checked two of his reams of weets — finally. Public outrage spilled over POTUS’ tweets that sullied the memory of an innocent dead woman.
Her widower wrote a letter to Twitter asking the company to take down the president’s slanderous tweets. Dr. Timothy Klausutis said that Trump took “something that did not belong to him — the memory of my dead wife and perverted it for political gain. Twitter said no.
The media went after Twitter for not monitoring the president’s vicious tweets against the reputation of a woman who worked for then-Representative and now co-host of the morning show on MSNBC, Morning Joe (Scarborough). The widower, who has never remarried, said that his 28-year-old wife had an undiagnosed heart condition and hit her head when she fell to the floor. She did work in one of Representatives Scarborough’s offices, but he had only met her a couple of times.
Wednesday, Fox News senior judicial analyst Andrew Napolitano shot down President Donald Trump’s threat to regulate Twitter after the company fact-checked one of his tweets.
Trump tried to turn his voters to another direction, talking about mail-in ballots as “fraudulent,” according to The Baltimore Sun:
‘[G]et the facts about mail-in ballots [he inaccurately called] no less than substantially fraudulent.’
After the public outcry over Trump’s vicious tweet reached a roar, the organization said:
‘We will strongly regulate, or close them down, before we can ever allow this to happen.’.
Fox News Host Sandrea Smith asked the judge about Twitter’s power to fact check Trump:
‘Can they do this?’
He responded succinctly:
“The short answer is yes. The president is right about the bias in social media and the president is also understandably not happy about his being fact-checked. I mean, nobody would.’
He went on to add:
‘But Twitter is privately owned and publicly held. It’s not owned by the government. And so the First Amendment, which guarantees the freedom of speech and of the press, since it only regulates the government, does not regulate Twitter. So stated differently, Twitter can take down, modify or correct any user it wants, including the president of the United States.’
However, Napolitano agreed that it would nearly impossible to “regulate” the president’s Twitter free speech rights:
‘Look, I don’t like what they say. But I’ll defend to the death their right to say it. Under a Supreme Court decision that the president likes called Citizens United, Twitter has freedom of speech just like you and I and the president himself.’
The letter from Dr. Klausutis continued:

bipartisanreport--2020-05-27--Kellyanne Conway Embarrasses Herself During W.H. Lawn Meltdown

Early Wednesday morning , President Donald Trump rushed to Twitter in a rage and proclaimed that he was prepared to “ strongly regulate , or close… down ” social media companies in retaliation for their supposed bias against conservatives .
One particular spark for his rants seems to have been Twitter ’ s decision to attach a fact-check to his own recent conspiracy-riddled post about mail-in voting , which the president has lied and insisted allows for massive election fraud .
On the White House lawn this Wednesday , longtime Trump adviser Kellyanne Conway adamantly defended the president ’ s @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the whole Trump team has become in their war on facts .
Reality is not a matter of political opinion .
If the president is lying , as he was about mail-in voting in the post which Twitter attached a fact-check to , no amount of political pontificating will change that .
But that ’ s exactly what Conway melodramatically tried to do .
Asked about what action that the president was prepared to actually launch against social media companies , she told reporters : ‘ Twitter can not suppress voices , and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ s part of our democracy .
I think the president was saying that conservatives for a very long time have felt that social media could give them the voice that they don ’ t have in mainstream media… Many people look at social media as the democratization of information for them .
Their ability to participate in democracy as they eventually do at the ballot box .
So the president is saying , please stop suppressing conservative voices… and they need to do that… Using outlets that are.. proudly anti-Trump to fact-check @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of the whole thing.
’ Check it out below : The idea that at least in part because of Twitter ’ s decision to attach a fact-check to Trump ’ s lie-filled tweet they ’ re “ suppressing voices ” is laughably ridiculous .
Quite simply , Conway is behaving as if basic facts and those sharing them with the world are together part of some conspiracy to make the president look bad .
It ’ s all in the service of the president ’ s monumentally fragile ego — his insistence upon @ @ @ @ @ @ @ slightest opposition isn ’ t exactly a secret .
What does the president mean by “ big action ” ?
Who knows .
Does he even know , or is he just trying to sound dramatic ?
Ironically , on the very same morning that Trump threatened to shut down social media companies , Secretary of State Mike Pompeo confidently tweeted about the supposed U.S. commitment to internet freedom around the world .
A large slew of Twitter commenters pointed out the irony in Pompeo ’ s remarks , which directly contradict the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ United States , who acts like a wannabe despot .

It ’ s been clear since Donald Trump installed Attorney General Bill Barr to make the Mueller investigation go away that the Department of Justice no longer has any relationship to justice , but that point was driven home once again in the insider trading case against Georgia Representative Kelly Loeffler .

On Tuesday, President Donald Trump tweeted disinformation about voting, just as the Kremlin once paid trolls to do on social media. He was fact-checked by Twitter with a simple link to accurate information that countered Trump’s message regarding the dangers of mail-in voting, dangers that actual data shows are not dangers at all. Despite Trump’s insistence that mail-in voting is rife with fraud, there have been more reported UFO sightings in the past 10 years than cases of voter fraud and the number is not even close.
On Thursday, after a 48-hour tantrum on Twitter, Trump announced the signing of an executive order, tweeting video of himself saying that social media outlets will no longer be allowed to censor tweets on their own, privately-owned platform. He promised that new regulations against “censoring or political acts,” claiming that those on the right have been censored by all social media outlets, ignoring the irony that the video of him saying this was posted and not removed by Twitter.
Thank you Cowboys. See you in New Mexico! https://t.co/aCRJeskUA8 — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) May 28, 2020
The announcement came just hours after Trump retweeted video from “Cowboys for Trump” saying that “the only good Democrat is a dead Democrat,” clearly violating Twitter’s terms of service. He spent the earlier part of the week tweeting stories accusing MSNBC host and former representative Joe Scarborough of murdering a staffer despite pleas from the late staffer’s husband for those lies to stop. Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey refused to take the tweets down, allowing the president to continue his targeted harassment.
When will they open a Cold Case on the Psycho Joe Scarborough matter in Florida. Did he get away with murder? Some people think so. Why did he leave Congress so quietly and quickly? Isn’t it obvious? What’s happening now? A total nut job! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) May 12, 2020
By the way, the United States surpassed 100,000 deaths from COVID-19 on Wednesday and this is what the president is focused on the following day.

bipartisanreport--2020-05-28--Hillary Trolls Trump Over Failed Presidency During Thursday Rebuke

President Donald Trump has consistently debased his office while in the White House .
While tens of thousands of Americans have died due to the Coronavirus , he has congratulated himself for a supposed job well done in responding to the crisis and insisted that anyone who dared to launch even the slightest challenge to his nonsense was some kind of nefarious political conspirator .
This Thursday , Hillary Clinton condemned the president in the wake of some of his latest nonsense , which included a retweet this week of a video that begins with the insistence that the “ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ” Clinton , for her part , has made her perception of who constitutes a “ real president ” abundantly clear .
She , like many other prominent Democrats , has endorsed presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden as the general election approaches .
Biden , for his part , was there in the Obama administration when the then-president ’ s team developed the pandemic response plans that the Trump administration ignored and cast aside .
He has documented experience , which contrasts dramatically with Trump ’ s own consistent failures .
In @ @ @ @ @ @ @ about “ dead Democrats , ” which was originally posted by a Twitter account going by “ Cowboys for Trump , ” the speaker insists that they mean to advocate for dead Democrats in a “ political sense ” because the Democratic agenda is “ anti-American.
” That ’ s a ludicrous statement — death is not exactly an ambiguous concept .
You can ’ t say you wish for dead Democrats and then say , oh , well , you don ’ t actually mean that .

President Donald Trump has consistently debased his office while in the White House. While tens of thousands of Americans have died due to the Coronavirus, he has congratulated himself for a supposed job well done in responding to the crisis and insisted that anyone who dared to launch even the slightest challenge to his nonsense was some kind of nefarious political conspirator. This Thursday, Hillary Clinton condemned the president in the wake of some of his latest nonsense, which included a retweet this week of a video that begins with the insistence that the “only good Democrat is a dead Democrat.”
Chilling that Trump shared video w/ 80million followers of someone saying “the only good Democrat is a dead Democrat.” This is more than background noise to an imploding presidency. Hatred endangers us all- esp. communities who’ve long been targeted by his dehumanizing attacks. — Samantha Power (@SamanthaJPower) May 28, 2020
Clinton shared:
‘Over the last 24 hours, the 100,000th American died of COVID-19 on Trump’s watch. He’s spent the last 24 hours sharing videos that begin “The only good Democrat is a dead Democrat” while complaining Twitter’s censoring him. We need a real president.’

Clinton, for her part, has made her perception of who constitutes a “real president” abundantly clear.

Biden, for his part, was there in the Obama administration when the then-president’s team developed the pandemic response plans that the Trump administration ignored and cast aside. He has documented experience, which contrasts dramatically with Trump’s own consistent failures.
The President retweeted a video that opens with a man saying, “The only good Democrat is a dead Democrat.” Donald Trump is putting targets on Americans backs, fomenting violence and hate, and his words are killing people. In El Paso. In Dayton. In Charlottesville. 158 days. https://t.co/GRZtwT4UHN — Shannon Watts (@shannonrwatts) May 28, 2020
In the original video that Trump retweeted talking about “dead Democrats,” which was originally posted by a Twitter account going by “Cowboys for Trump,” the speaker insists that they mean to advocate for dead Democrats in a “political sense” because the Democratic agenda is “anti-American.” That’s a ludicrous statement — death is not exactly an ambiguous concept. You can’t say you wish for dead Democrats and then say, oh, well, you don’t actually mean that. The Trump supporter said it — and the president retweeted it.
Trump RTed this video in which a supporter says "the only good Democrat is a dead Democrat." He clarifies he's not talking literally. But he told Daily Beast on Weds that some Dems might be guilty of treason and should get "a firing squad" or "the rope."https://t.co/mPu7xKx3b4 https://t.co/jDqPzxyuoG — Aaron Blake (@AaronBlake) May 28, 2020

bipartisanreport--2020-05-28--WH Press Secretary Erupts At Jim Acosta & Embarrasses Herself

President Donald Trump has lied an essentially inordinate number of times while in office .
He routinely seems to not care whether what he ’ s saying has any relationship to reality — instead , he just says whatever comes to mind and he thinks might be politically useful in the moment .
In the realm of basic , tangible reality , it ’ s a documented fact that many of Trump ’ s public statements have contained demonstrable lies , but during a press conference this Thursday , White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany disturbingly refused to acknowledge that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ time .
It ’ s as if she imagined she was an official in some kind of despotic dictatorship , where absolute deference to the Dear Leader is demanded .
CNN reporter Jim Acosta questioned McEnany over the president ’ s rage over Twitter ’ s simple decision to attach a fact-check to two of his recent lie-riddled tweets about mail-in voting .
In retaliation , the Trump administration has prepared an executive order targeting social media companies that ’ s meant to remove some of the protections from legal liability they ’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ into a diatribe against the media , whose main function , quite simply , is reporting upon the basic reality that the president and his team seem to hate so much .
She insisted : ‘ Well first of all , I disagree with all if not almost all of those assertions that you ’ re making there .
If you ’ re going to get into the fact-checking business , there ’ s no one that should be fact-checked more than the mainstream media that has been continually wrong about a number @ @ @ @ @ @ @ response that the news outlets that “ make mistakes from time to time… own up to those mistakes ” — which , of course , is dramatically different from the president ’ s own response to criticism over the egregious , demonstrable falsehoods that he ’ s trumpeted .
Has he ever even admitted a single time that he was wrong ?
McEnany did not directly answer the question , but she replied : ‘ I ’ m around the president .
His intent is always to give truthful information to the American @ @ @ @ @ @ @ media apologizes for their mistruths — I mean , I ’ m sitting here looking at other headlines… [ for example ] , Washington Post : U.S. health system is showing why it ’ s not ready for a Coronavirus pandemic , [ but ] we were ready .
There ’ s many more I could get to.
’ As one commenter pointed out , McEnany sounds like she wants to get the president some kind of “ participation trophy ” for truth-telling .
But quite simply , that ’ s not how @ @ @ @ @ @ @ “ meant to ” lie doesn ’ t matter !
He has lied , plain and simple .

President Donald Trump has lied an essentially inordinate number of times while in office.

It’s as if she imagined she was an official in some kind of despotic dictatorship, where absolute deference to the Dear Leader is demanded.
Asked if she's saying the president has never lied to the public before, McEnany says, "His intent is always to give truthful information to the American people." (This is where I tune out.) — Daniel Dale (@ddale8) May 28, 2020
CNN reporter Jim Acosta questioned McEnany over the president’s rage over Twitter’s simple decision to attach a fact-check to two of his recent lie-riddled tweets about mail-in voting. In retaliation, the Trump administration has prepared an executive order targeting social media companies that’s meant to remove some of the protections from legal liability they’ve had.
On subject of fact checking Trump on social media, asked McEnany whether Trump has ever lied. Her response: “His intent is always to give truthful information to the American people.” — Jim Acosta (@Acosta) May 28, 2020
Acosta asked:
‘Shouldn’t the president be fact-checked, especially this president, who has made so many false and misleading statements that he’s put fact-checkers to work across the world? He’s uttered some 18,000 false or misleading statements according to The Washington Post. If there’s any… political leader out there who should be fact-checked, isn’t it President Trump?’
McEnany responded by launching into a diatribe against the media, whose main function, quite simply, is reporting upon the basic reality that the president and his team seem to hate so much. She insisted:
‘Well first of all, I disagree with all if not almost all of those assertions that you’re making there. If you’re going to get into the fact-checking business, there’s no one that should be fact-checked more than the mainstream media that has been continually wrong about a number of things.’
The Trump White House is now completely out of sync with the FDA regarding hydroxychloroquine. McEnany touted HCQ as a preventative drug for coronavirus and urged people to get prescriptions from doctors. FDA says there's no proof it works and it's not authorized for at-home use. — Marshall Cohen (@MarshallCohen) May 28, 2020
Acosta pointed out in response that the news outlets that “make mistakes from time to time… own up to those mistakes” — which, of course, is dramatically different from the president’s own response to criticism over the egregious, demonstrable falsehoods that he’s trumpeted. Has he ever even admitted a single time that he was wrong?
WH Press Sec Kayleigh McEnany says if anyone needs to be fact checked, it is the media. Note: Media companies make mistakes and post corrections all the time to take responsibility for mistakes. President Trump has not done the same thing when he has made misleading statements. — Yamiche Alcindor (@Yamiche) May 28, 2020
Acosta pointedly followed up:
‘Are you saying that the president of the United States has never lied to the public before?’
McEnany did not directly answer the question, but she replied:
‘I’m around the president. His intent is always to give truthful information to the American people, and you mention that the media apologizes for their mistruths — I mean, I’m sitting here looking at other headlines… [for example], Washington Post: U.S. health system is showing why it’s not ready for a Coronavirus pandemic, [but] we were ready. There’s many more I could get to.’
Watch below:
.@Acosta: On Twitter – shouldn't POTUS be fact-checked? Especially one who has made as many false claims as Trump?

M: His intent is always to give truthful information pic.twitter.com/4JKBwjpREx — Aaron Rupar (@atrupar) May 28, 2020
As one commenter pointed out, McEnany sounds like she wants to get the president some kind of “participation trophy” for truth-telling. But quite simply, that’s not how reality works — whether or not Trump “meant to” lie doesn’t matter! He has lied, plain and simple.
the best part is the demand for a truth-telling participation trophy. he tried! https://t.co/5sVRgi1Dpl — Josh Marshall (@joshtpm) May 28, 2020

bipartisanreport--2020-05-28--Joe Biden Fact-Checks Trump Into Oblivion During Thursday Rebuke

President Donald Trump has consistently insisted that he ’ s done a great job responding to the Coronavirus crisis — although the current U.S. death toll from the crisis stands at over 100,000 — and concurrently , he ’ s claimed that Democrats ignored the crisis while he was ( supposedly ) valiantly working to defend the U.S. That claim couldn ’ t be further from the truth , however : Democrats worked for months to try and shore up the U.S. defenses against the Coronavirus , but by the end of February , Trump was still calling concern about @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden ’ s campaign poignantly pointed out this week that on the same day last October on which Biden , through his campaign , called out the Trump administration ’ s lack of preparedness , the actual president complained on Twitter about a new iPhone feature .
That ’ s not a joke — the posts went up on the same day .
Biden was working on bringing public attention to the lack of pandemic preparedness in the United States on the very same day that Trump was whining @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of iPhones .
Trump has abjectly failed on each and every one of these fronts .
He has spent the duration of the Coronavirus crisis delivering rants packed full of inane conspiracy theories like the idea that officials pleading with the federal government for assistance to keep their citizens from dying were somehow out to get him and make him look bad .

Check out Twitter ’ s response to Biden below :

President Donald Trump has consistently insisted that he’s done a great job responding to the Coronavirus crisis — although the current U.S. death toll from the crisis stands at over 100,000 — and concurrently, he’s claimed that Democrats ignored the crisis while he was (supposedly) valiantly working to defend the U.S. That claim couldn’t be further from the truth, however: Democrats worked for months to try and shore up the U.S. defenses against the Coronavirus, but by the end of February, Trump was still calling concern about the virus a “hoax.” Presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden’s campaign poignantly pointed out this week that on the same day last October on which Biden, through his campaign, called out the Trump administration’s lack of preparedness, the actual president complained on Twitter about a new iPhone feature.
That’s not a joke — the posts went up on the same day. Biden was working on bringing public attention to the lack of pandemic preparedness in the United States on the very same day that Trump was whining on Twitter about a change between editions of iPhones.
Two tweets from the same day in October. pic.twitter.com/rsSslLCsTW — Joe Biden (@JoeBiden) May 28, 2020
In his original October statement, Biden insisted:
‘We are not prepared for a pandemic. Trump has rolled back progress President Obama and I made to strengthen global health security. We need leadership that builds public trust, focuses on real threats, and mobilizes the world to stop outbreaks before they reach our shores.’
Trump has abjectly failed on each and every one of these fronts. He has spent the duration of the Coronavirus crisis delivering rants packed full of inane conspiracy theories like the idea that officials pleading with the federal government for assistance to keep their citizens from dying were somehow out to get him and make him look bad. Now, over a hundred thousand Americans are dead in the wake of problems that Trump could have helped deal with, like a shortage of personal protective equipment, which meant that individuals like frontline health care workers were exposed to the virus at higher levels.

bipartisanreport--2020-05-28--F.E.C. Official Debunks Trump Vote By Mail Conspiracy Theory

President Donald Trump and his allies may hope to wish the realities of the current political climate in the United States out of existence , but that ’ s not going to work .
This week , Federal Election Commission ( FEC ) member Ellen Weintraub delivered a lengthy public rebuttal to the conspiracy theories that Trump has pushed which state that there ’ s some kind of looming danger of some kind of massive voter fraud if mail-in voting is implemented on a more widespread level amidst concerns about the safety of in-person voting due to the Coronavirus pandemic @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , quite simply , no evidence for the president ’ s claims .
They ’ re entirely disconnected from reality .
A full 33 states — more than half the country !
— give all voters the option to vote via the mail , and five states , including Colorado , Hawaii , Oregon , Utah , and Washington , currently hold their elections almost entirely via the mail .
In the 2016 presidential election , a full 1 in 4 voters cast their ballots via mail-in voting .
These facts of the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ United States help reveal just how laughable that Trump ’ s conspiracy theories really are .
‘ Claims that voter fraud is widespread are… “ dead wrong , ” “ crying ‘ wolf , ’ ” “ false , ”  “ a debunked lie.

These falsehoods may well undermine the American people ’ s faith in our democracy .
And the *real* fraud would be if U.S. citizens were deterred from voting and our government reflected the consent of fewer of the governed .

As Weintraub explained, there is, quite simply, no evidence for the president’s claims. They’re entirely disconnected from reality.

These facts of the already widespread presence of voting-by-mail in the United States help reveal just how laughable that Trump’s conspiracy theories really are.
Twitter fact checks two of his tweets after more than a decade of spewing racism, insanity and bullying and he threatens to shut down social media. Two tweets.

Undermining faith in the U.S. election may, in fact, be Trump’s point via yet again pushing his conspiracy theories about the supposed widespread fraud in U.S. elections.

President Trump's planned executive order aimed at curbing liability protections for social media companies comes after Twitter applied fact checks to two of his tweets.

Donald Trump is special. Just ask him. When he stole something that did not belong to him, a young woman’s reputation and drug it through his rancid swamp, she did not respond, because she could not. The Florida woman had a heart condition, fainted, and hit her head, leaving her dead at just 28-years-old.
The president tried to gin up another conspiracy theory about her, because she died in one of MSNBC’s Morning Joe (Scarborough’s) offices when he was still a representative (R-FL). The show’s co-host was not even in the same city. POTUS was furious with Scarborough for telling his truth about PTOUS vs. fawning over him.
Although the grieving widower wrote to the president begging him to leave her alone, Trump ignored the man who had never remarried. This cruel act appeared to be the horrid line that was simply too much — for the public, for the Republicans, and especially for Twitter.
The social media platform responded to the outrage finally and added a label to just two of the president’s tweets among the tens of thousands POTUS has bombed the public with. Twitter responded:
‘We added a label to two @realDonaldTrump Tweets about California’s vote-by-mail plans as part of our efforts to enforce our civic integrity policy. We believe those Tweets could confuse voters about what they need to do to receive a ballot and participate in the election process.’
Twitter added that it wanted to provide “context and conversation” about “voter fraud and mail-in ballots:”
‘We also wanted to provide additional context and conversation with regard to voter fraud and mail-in ballots. We have a range of remediations, and in some cases we add labels that link to more context.’
Trump announced he would sign an executive order about “social media companies on Thursday,” according to NBC News. In it, the president threatened Twitter that he would “direct the Federal Communications Commission” (FCC) to edit the Communications Decency Act. He would also ask the FCC to “take action against companies engaging in ‘deceptive acts.'”
Thus far, the mega-social media companies have made their owners into multi-billionaires and left them free of regulation. Senator Josh Hawley (R-MO) claimed he would introduce legislation:
‘[T]o end these special government giveaways. If @Twitter wants to editorialize & comment on users’ posts, it should be divested of its special status under federal law (Section 230) & forced to play by same rules as all other publishers.’
Trump claimed Twitter was “interfering in the 2020 Presidential election.”
‘Twitter is completely stifling FREE SPEECH, and I, as President, will not allow it to happen!’
Reuters tweeted about the president’s executive order:
‘President Trump is expected to sign an executive order on social media companies. The move comes after Twitter put fact-checks on Trump’s tweets for the first time ‘

Yet, Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey stood by his company’s decision:
‘Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey said he stands by the company’s decision to fact-check 2 tweets by President Trump, as the White House prepares an executive order aimed at cracking down on online platforms’
Even China was “furious” at Twitter for its “retroactively tag tweets:”

Many in the United States are reeling in the wake of the murder of a black man named George Floyd by police officers in Minneapolis. Floyd’s death has sparked angry demonstrations around the country and calls for those responsible for the heinous violence against Floyd to be held accountable; the only initial action undertaken was the firing of four cops from the local police department, but under ordinary circumstances without the cover of the all-too-privileged police force, those involved would no doubt already be in jail. On Thursday, Utah’s Republican Senator Mitt Romney joined those speaking out about the situation, calling on Americans to use the situation to confront racism.
Romney commented:
‘No Americans should fear enmity and harm from those sworn to protect us. The death of George Floyd must not be in vain: Our shock and outrage must grow into collective determination to extinguish forever such racist abuse.’

His comments contrast quite strikingly with the response to the situation from the actual current president of the United States, Donald Trump, who, of course, has fueled his rise to national political stardom with racist rhetoric. Nowhere in his own comments about the situation does Trump mention the systematic problem of racism in the United States. Instead, he calls for “justice” and calls Floyd’s death “sad and tragic,” and that’s pretty much it.
The president posted:
‘At my request, the FBI and the Department of Justice are already well into an investigation as to the very sad and tragic death in Minnesota of George Floyd. I have asked for this investigation to be expedited and greatly appreciate all of the work done by local law enforcement. My heart goes out to George’s family and friends. Justice will be served!’
