President Elect Twitter Fingers Basically Asking for Dissent

[WaveMolecules]

fair enough, but what do you expect to come of this?

i guess i need to start taking this dude more seriously

this is serious man. this is real life. we cant laugh him off. he HAS to be taken to task for everything he says, IF ONLY because he has emboldened so many hateful people.

Donald Trump is not a troll. he is the president elect. i am TERRIFIED that he is saying this AND NO ONE TAKES HIM SERIOUSLY.


btw think changing an amendment is impossible? i.e. eliminating birthright citizenship?

Option one: Start with Congress; take it to the states.
There are actually two ways to change the Constitution that are written into Article V. The most common way (the only way it's been done so far) is to start by having Congress pass a constitutional amendment.

Our founders made this one of the most difficult things to do in all of governing.

What they need: A two-thirds supermajority in both chambers of Congress has to agree to it.

What they have: Republicans control both chambers of Congress, but they don't have a supermajority. Republicans would need to control 290 seats out of the 435 if they were going to pass a constitutional amendment without any Democratic help. With some races still outstanding, Republicans currently control 239.

In the Senate, Republicans are even further from the two-thirds line. Republicans would need to control 67 seats; in January, they'll control 51.

(No, Republicans don’t control enough states to change the Constitution (but it’s close))



nothing is out of the realm of possibility.

Did Hillary Clinton vote against the flag desecration act in 2006? Is Hillary Clinton President-elect? It's like you can't bring yourself to condemn this dude. Always deflecting. Do you have anything to say about our new President threatening to revoke the citizenship of flag burners?

Twitter has been fighting hate speech for years. Now, it faces what may be the world’s most powerful troll: the president of the United States.

President-elect Donald Trump used Twitter for the past 18 months as a megaphone for his views and rants. He’s attacked the media, insultedwomen, praised himself, and lied outright. One of Trump’s recentclaims—”I won the popular vote if you deduct the millions of people who voted illegally”—has already been rebuffed by Republicans, Democrats, fact-checkers, and election officials. Trump has produced no evidence to support it.

While Trump’s deceptive tweets may not violate Twitter’s rules against harassment, threats and “hateful conduct,” Twitter is still keeping an eye on his account for more egregious offenses. This week, the company [Twitter] told Slate it would consider banning key government officials, even the president, if its rules against hate speech or other language were violated. “The Twitter Rules prohibit violent threats, harassment, hateful conduct, and multiple account abuse, and we will take action on accounts violating those policies,” a spokesperson wrote. Twitter confirmed with Quartz that everyone, including government officials, were subject to the policy: “The Twitter Rules apply to all accounts,” a spokesman wrote.

Twitter says it will ban Trump if he breaks hate-speech rules

A. who gives a fukk about hillary SHE LOST. This is turning into a Jay-Z/Nas situation.

besides, fukk her stance on this too.


BUT

B. "If intended to incite violence, the bill stated, destroying a flag went beyond political speech and therefore was not protected under the First Amendment, as the Supreme Court had ruled it was in 1989 and 1990."

"A spokesman for a third co-sponsor, Senator Barbara Boxer of California, said by email, “She believes flag burning is protected under the Constitution,” and noted that the bill proposed penalties only under narrow circumstances."




there is a BIG difference between jailing someone for causing a riot and REVOKING THEIR CITIZENSHIP.


hating trump doesnt make you a hillary apologist. shes terrible. but we arent talking about her.
