Trumps Accuse MSNBC Host Of Murder

Post Reply New Topic

Donald Trump had, recently, repeatedly tweeted statements effectively accusing MSNBC morning host Joe Scarborough, a fervent Trump critic, of murder! This is ENTIRELY baseless. It refers to a sad incident that happened in the home district office of Scarborough, then a Republican House member, when an employee of Scarborough, alone in the office, suffered an internal attack which led to her death. No one, official or otherwise, has ever implicated Scarborough or declared it to be anything but a terrible accident. (I'll let someone else here pit up the full details.)
The woman's family are heartbroken to have this nonsense brought up - by the President Of The United States! . - and it encourages lower-level conspiracy theory morons to harass the family (In more of Trump's sophisticated Twitter banter he retweetef tweets calling Hillary Clinton a " skank " and making fun of Stacey Abrams' weight. That's showin' "em! ).
This does violate Twitter's rules, and a " normal " person could get suspended or thrown off Twitter, per their stated rules, and even though Twitter will not, generally, punish government leaders that strongly, they can remove the tweet or post " This is a lie " disclaimers on it. Twitter has not done so yet.
Trump fans: care to defend your hero her

Donald J. Trump is a s****-sucking liar -- always has been; always will be.

...I said " Trumps " above. Trump's seed, " Teflon Donny " Donald Trump, Jr., Tweeted advancing the insinuations and proactively accusing Twitthr of " left Silicon Vally " " censorship " or similar. That's Donny-O telling it!

Instead of having an election, can't we just have a competition like the hunger games where the last person live is the president?

I would prefer a process like Sortition: the selection of political officials as a random sample from a larger pool of candidates -- preferably, all honorably-discharged military veterans of sound mind between the ages of 36 and 68, inclusive.

Imagine getting a phone call in the middle of the night, and the voice on the other end announces that you have been selected as President for the next four years. You have just a few hours to get your personal affairs in order before the motorcade arrives at your door to take you to the White House, where you are sworn in the next day.

All you have to do is veto congressional bills or sign them into law, meet with foreign heads of state, declare emergencies, pardon the occasional convict or two, and look 'Presidential' while doing it.

Four years later, someone else gets selected, and you go back to your old life with the cheers of a nation ringing in your ears and a healthy pension filling your bank account for the rest of your life.
