    btw, you think there are more important things going on than whether a private business marks content as nonfactual?

    Don't fool yourself into thinking there's nothing Trump can do if he doesn't have the Constitution on his side. He'll use other tools to go after social media companies that don't obey. In Jack Ramsay though he might have found someone more powerful than him. Twitter operates all the time in totalitarian societies that try to censor them.

    Oh, trump can certainly go even more totalitarian in his attacks on a private business putting even the least amount of control on misbehavior on their property. And it would be interesting to watch it happen, and the reaction, especially from his supporters.

    Um....so Trump throws out some bluster about shutting down or regulating media sites because they're tagging his bull**** with fact-checking?

    Gee......that isn't the behavior of a dictator wanna-be at all.

    Our fears he will burn everything down and/or attempt to hold power if he loses in November 2020 are way, waaaay, waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay off.

    The Criminal in Chief does a Big Action against Twitter.

    Twitter drops his account.

    Trump with his tail between his legs crawls back and begs to be forgiven.

    If Trump isn’t happy with Twitter, he can always start his own mailing list and ask the MAGA to subscribe to his newsletters.

    Twitter tags his posts as misleading - his fans scream censorship
    Trump tries to censor Twitter in response - his fans cheer.

    No matter her outfit, her blouse is always the same color brown. We see you, Kellyanne. History already has a place for you and it won't even be debated. Congrats, I guess.

    If he looses the election, he might use this as a platform to launch a Fox News-style version of Twitter.

    Why would anyone expect him to know anything? This is a man who doesn't know why someone takes insulin.
