Twitter Looking At Ways To Address President’s Tweets Regarding Death Of Fmr. Scarbor

[Gunny]

This would be one of those times the President should have slapped his own hand instead of hitting "enter".

Having said that, Twitter should STFU. Flagging them as "false" would be pretty-much a lie as they don't know the answer. If they can't flag as "opinion" then they need to leave it alone.

A years old case involving former congressman and now TV host Joe Scarborough found its way under the president’s microscope. In a series of tweets last week, he alleged Scarborough may have been involved in the death of his staffer Lori Klausutis who was found dead in her office in 2001.
The allegations resurfaced Tuesday morning when the president wrote, “the opening of a cold case against psycho Joe Scarborough was not a Donald Trump original thought, this has been going on for years, long before I joined the chorus.”
He went on to call the TV host a “nut job,” adding that there are “so many unanswered and obvious questions” that he wouldn’t bring up now. President Trump then noted that law enforcement may eventually look into those questions.
An autopsy report found that the 28-year-old had an undiagnosed heart condition, which led her to faint and hit her head on her desk. She was discovered on the floor the following morning.

Klausutis’ widower Timothy Klausutis is now asking for the president’s tweets to be removed from Twitter. He’s claiming President Trump used her death for political gain.
In a letter to Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey, published Tuesday morning, the widower said the presidents message is spreading falsehoods about his late wife’s passing by connecting Scarborough to her death.

Twitter responded to those calls in a statement Tuesday. A spokesperson said the company is looking at ways to address the president’s tweets regarding the death of the congressional staffer.

While Twitter has not said how it will handle the president’s tweets, it said it could flag his messages as false. Meanwhile, Jack Dorsey himself has yet to speak out on the matter.

`Twitter made a HUGE mistake. They have now injected themselves into a US election and decided to become

editorialists.....rather than a platform. ALL platform protections should be immediately revoked and Twitter should be

treated as a publisher. They did this to themselves...`

I honestly know nothing more about twitter than it is social media. My "social media" begins and ends with this board. It is just my opinion that Trump should have said nothing, and Twitter shouldn't compound the issue by involving itself as the arbiter of truth in the matter.

It isn't okay, IMO, for someone to have someone else's comments flagged, removed or otherwise messed with simply because one doesn't like or agree with what is there. Counter the comment, if one can, or STFU with the whining.

He's so pissed at Scarborough he is trying to hit back hard. I think he forgets he's President and responds as a regular person would. He has to stop that! He needs to think long term results instead of immediate satisfaction.

I'm pretty disgusted with him right now because he's making it so hard to keep supporting him.

Yeah, there's always been that. He's just lucky that the Dems have been so off the wall, they make him look almost normal.

Face it, everyday folks would not tweet the crap he does. He's the f'ing President and seriously makes some middle schoolers look mature.

**Trump got elected because he is "one of us"....not a plastic boring..polished phony....Twitter is the best way to communicate with `us`...Trump works hard working for free....Trump can do "regular" and President when needed...and thats what makes him different ...


If anyone who has any doubt about supporting Trump
**(after all he has done to this point)
Please ease your pain and get on with it....vote for Joe Biden 2020 and his handlers...

I'm starting to understand why I keep getting the vibe that some of the righties on this site are really commies deep down inside. Something smells like rhinos around here.

I agree--but-- I also know that he is only human and after over 4 years now of non-stop, vicious attacks made upon him and his family I give him leeway to vent some anger at these ffing buffoons and these lying hate-filled assholes...
Of course, I also wish that he would choose his words more carefully and temper his anger enough to cut those bastards deeply while maintaining a more dignified stature..
Adding to that, we voted for him because he did not kiss ass and grovel to these filthy, worthless, slimy, ffing assholes, imho.
Assholes which I myself, do ever so truly and dearly hate....-Tyr

Here is a little something extra...

I'm always relaxed. When I'm not, I'm surely not logged in on the board. I got enough crap to do in real life that if I come up with some excess energy I'm likely not going to spend it typing at a screen

I have been outspoken about someone needing to take the President's phone, twitter account ot what have you away since 2015. Nothing has happened to change that opinion. He needs a filter. A lot of times it isn't even what he says but how he says it. In this case, there is zero point for the President of the US make such a comment. Not only is it tasteless, it is pointless speculation. It has nothing to do with any REAL issue facing the Nation at this point in time.

OTOH, I have been just as outspoken if not more on the issue of free speech since long before any of you. If he's just got to say it, so be it. Get on his ass, counter his argument, whatever. Abusing the power of authority to alter, remove, or otherwise "flag" it as untrue is a non-starter with me.

It would also be a BIG reason I do not have a twitter or whatever social media account(s). In MY perfect world, the host of a social media outlet should be an impartial arbitrator. We know this to not be the case.

In this forinstance, twitter even entertaining such a notion or voicing it as they have makes it NOT impartial so they can go screw themselves.
