But the President can just ignore everyone. Have you ever seen the President respond to ANYONE on twitter?

How so HT? There are comments...but he doesn't answer questions and there is no accountability for what he says there.
Twitter is not a press conference...nor is it a sign of any transparency.

So is that the purpose of this thread though?How's that working out? One single thread in the whole forum and the echo crew are freaking out about it.
Again, it seems the ones freaking out are those who don't want to actually discuss things beyond a rah rah thread. Id suggest they find elsewhere for that type of thread. This board will question things...

What are you talking about. What accountability? Is Jim Acosta going to pontificate while talking his nonsense. Twitter is an open channel with plenty of accountability

What was I spinning? You were making fun of someone for being on here all the time when most of us on here just about every day, including yourself. It was a weak jab at another poster and now here you are complaining again.

From the latest "world is ending" post:
https://finance.yahoo.com/news/ubs-were-one-step-away-from-global-recession-all-major-banks-at-risk-to-ease-182748762.html
"The Fed is expected to cut interest rates as early as next month. UBS estimates the central bank would be poised to cut an additional 100bp— on top of an expected 50bp in July.
Under that scenario, the US economy would be flying “dangerously low to the ground,” but would avoid a recession, UBS said."
So all the bashing of Trump for wanting to cut rates yet this doom and gloom article says what he is pushing for would avoid recession?

By really being able to ask a question and have him (or his spokesperson) answer on record. Thats the point of press conferences.
Twitter is a joke...

It's a pretty accurate representation of the real world, as well as Trump's re-election strategy.

Not once have I ever seen him engage in a discussion or have any sort of back-and-forth dialog with anyone on Twitter.
To compare his tweets (which are reminiscent of Pravda type propaganda) to the give-and-take of an actual press conference is ludicrous and absurd.

The typical type of comment Id expect.
And yeah, if that is why KD was suspended...he shouldn't have been.
Same for commish for his "generalization" the other day.

Why should he answer sho's questions? Sho never answers when one of us asks him to elaborate or back things up. That works both ways.

Isn’t Twitter essentially a Teleprompter speech in 140 characters? Trump doesn’t even write many of the tweets (the coherent ones with no spelling errors that are respectful)
There’s no back and forth, just a bunch of bots replying #maga, #trump2020, etc.

That’s the way the cookie crumbles. Take it like a man, no whining.
But back to the Twitter being a press conference. I’m assuming that’s some HellToupee schtick?

Do you say that for every hashtag movement or are you just prejudice against 60's science fiction references?

The 60s science fiction part went over my head.
Taking your suspension from a magic football board should be done in a very manly fashion IMO. No whining, no “but that poster does it”, no reporting, etc.

Whining has a complaining component. I’m not complaining, I’m thoroughly entertained by all this MAGA.

Jesus. Even low expectations don't do this cluster#### justice.
Seriously, what are you anti-Trump guys trying to prove on here? Are ya finally gonna set the Trumpers (sorry, not an insult, don't report me) straight? Are they finally gonna see the light?
It's a lost cause, let them have their thread. I'd like to just read what they have to say without all the nonsense for once.

That’s about where I am just from the other side. Nobody here is going to change the opinion of anyone else. Most of us are who we are. Some opinions change but in my opinion most of these are over time or from personal experiences. Certainly it won’t be from a message board or a snarky response.

They can’t control themselves Herb, one thread not dominated by their group think sets them off.
Your mature behavior is appreciated.

knowledgedropper yes. Boots no. Boots deserved to be suspended for his comments regarding the migrant children.
timschochet
Footballguy
In response to the reports of poor treatment of migrant children at the border, he suggested that their missing Disney videos was not really a cause for concern. He then went on to state his solution: “Deport them and their parents. Problem solved.”
Earlier boots stated that his biggest concern about these migrants is their threat to “the culture of this country.”

Tim called out a bunch of known Trump supporters, including boots, because he thought he won a point about the boarder. Boots responded with a joke about Disney tv and he’s the one that gets suspended.

Lol actually I'm interested in reading Trump opinions too, but apparently we're enmeshed in a poster disappearance mystery involving all of Tobias, KD and now Boots? Who could be next? Curiouser and curioser... it's like an online Dominican Republic Resort in here.

I mean... Trump threatens to withdraw from longstanding defense of Japan risking instability in the Pacific... but hey did you hear what Boots said?

Win a point? I didn’t win any point. I “called them out” because at the same time they were praising Trump as the greatest President ever these stories about the treatment of migrant children were being reported and I wanted them to reconcile what remains for me to be a gross contradiction.Tim called out a bunch of known Trump supporters, including boots, because he thought he won a point about the boarder. Boots responded with a joke about Disney tv and he’s the one that gets suspended.
If human suffering means “winning a point” I’d much prefer to lose.

Thanks for your honesty. Calling out a group of posters with whom you disagree (which I swear had been discussed in the moderation forum as not allowed) is acceptable. References to Star Trek and Disney gets a suspension. Got it thanks!
