Twitter has a responsibility to protect its employees from a hostile work environment. If Trump &Con-way are abusing their considerable power and threatening an employee they should take action and discontinue the abusers accounts.
At least put them on a time out for two months with a warning. You could get sued if you don’t- it’s not just a legal and moral responsibility- it’s a fiduciary responsibility.
Trump’s current press secretary has voted by mail 11 times in the past 10 years. Thats ok. Its just the “other” people that shouldn’t be allowed. You know the ones
Perhaps an implicit threat? But true, it’s certainly not something one could reasonably accuse 45 of in any kind of court or such.
Typical use of shout-down intimidation that he’s hoping will minimize any future effort to contain him. Bonus side warning that individuals will be targeted by unhinged hostiles if they cross him. Another human life tossed on the pile.
Twitter should chuck him off the platform entirely, but he’s also made them very very recognizable and wealthy. What to do, what to do…
Meanwhile we are (by lack of choice) choosing to pursue herd immunity and discard our sick and elderly population and pinch off our sense of empathy even further. Each step is a step closer to ‘them’ coming for any one of us. If ever there was a time to take a stand, it is now. November may be too late, if it even happens at all.
“dangerous and irresponsible” Yes, that is Donald J. Trump.
I’d like to post that “If an ordinary Twitter user did this, they would be banned!” but I’m not seeing it
The impeached & manifestly unfit etc. is targeting a Twitter employee for vile threats from followers. His army of trollies will do the dirty work.
I’m curious as to how one particular Twitter employee got singled out (especially given they’re not responsible for whatever they’re supposed to have done). But I’m not sure I want to go down that rabbit hole of trying to figure out how the relevant crazy White House staffer’s mind is working, which would be part of understanding that. The absolute recklessness of putting a name out there, knowing that Trump and his sycophants (including Fox) would mindlessly repeat it.
Ironically, he’s actually headed for a permanent ban if he gets his way with all this - because the increased liability for Twitter means he’s exactly the sort of user that they’d have to ban. (Making false accusations and threats, spouting dangerous health misinformation, etc.)
Nice. But not as elegant as Stewart Lee’s naming of our esteemed Prime Minister
Few British prime ministers have guarded their privacy as admirably as Boris Piccaninny Watermelon Letterbox Cake Bumboys Vampires Haircut Wall-Spaffer Spunk-Burster Fuck-Business Fuck-the-Families Get-Off-My-Fucking-Laptop Girly-Swot Big-Girl’s-Blouse Chicken-frit Hulk-Smash Noseringed-Crusties Death-Humbug Technology-Lessons Surrender-Bullshit French-Turds Dog-Whistle Get-Stuffed FactcheckUK@CCHQ 88%-lies Get-Brexit-Done Bung-a-Bob-for-Big-Ben’s-Bongs Cocaine-Event Spiritual-Worth Three-Men-and-a-Dog Whatever-It-Takes I-Shook-Hands-With-Everyone Herd-Immunity I-Want-to-Thank-Po-Ling Squash-the-Sombrero Johnson.
The stupidest thing about this is the feigned alarm. We’re in our fourth year of Trump’s presidency; At this point anyone who still expects him to act like a responsible, law-abiding adult is either hopelessly naive or willfully ignorant.
Really, most news orgs could replace every Trump headline with:
“Click here to read what new shocking, outrageous, unpresidented(sic) things President Meal-ticket said/did/implied today!”
I’m noticing Trump’s pattern is that he says things that are technically true, but arranged to imply something that’s false.
He did it with the Chloroquine hoax as well.
How dare you?! You left off his “Bankrupter of Casinos” accomplishment!
We’re living in a time when we should all be prepared to be appalled.
“… Johnson, the Turd.”
We listened to local radio when we drove through Belize, which had a quota of Irish slaves back in the day, and we heard talk of “da turdy-turd” whatever. How prescient the foretelling of BoJo!
Let’s not forget “enjoys getting peed on by Russian hookers” and “has wanted to fuck his own daughter since she was an infant.”
Well, let’s talk about this rather than about 100,000 dead.
Oh, wait…was that the plan?
Well @jack could just say, I told you to leave my people out of it but you didn’t listen. So I had my legion of alpha nerds do a little magic and now everyone who tweeted at my team in the last 24 hours is on a 3 day time out. Also, don’t forget, we have your entire social network and contacts. Do not ignore my requests again.
Of course, that would require @jack to have a conscience and care about the lives of non-billionaire humans, so -shruggy-
…and some metaphorical balls. Which he is clearly deficient in.
Why waste our time doing nothing except tweeting ,threatening and being a bully…Why not just stay home you could just tweet all day, let someone else who actually cares about what is really important In the world right now take over
