(18,837 posts)Not even addressing the petitions to shut down his Twitter and Facebook accounts, just the simple act of allowing a tweet to stand that incites violence and generates death threats. Stay classy, Twitter.

(17,984 posts)First he threatened protestors at his rallies. Then he allowed the Khashoggi murder (and I believe Kushner gave MBS his name). Now he has made his way up to representatives. Nothing and no one is safe anymore. Nothing is sacred anymore.
