The 11 glorious minutes that Trump wasn't on Twitter last night raise a serious issue

Im going to guess this guy will have a lot of job offers from companies that hate trump. of course, that is if he doesnt get in big trouble from this first.

He won't get in trouble. If a conservative did it to Clinton or Obama though they would be ostracized from the tech community.

Holy shit you two. Why do I have to use crayons to explain everything to you?

-no one gives a shit about this immature guy

-the issue is the fact that Trump uses a non-secure platform to spread his message, and it could be comprised.

- given Trump's past Twitter boondoggles, he has set a precedent of him releasing information/instructions that range from unconventional to illegal

-if someone were to use their access to his account they could post something detrimental to a company, or worse, another country and it would be believable that it came from the POTUS

-this would be bad

You two understand yet?

Cyber security is certainly our weakness right now . We have forever been dominant because of our military superiority but hackers can come from anywhere . It’s a scary proposition . Of course just look at how this has happened to Hillary , Trump etc etc already . IMO we are lucky so far

Yes, you do need crayons. Pictures would help too.
 
It's definitely a good point. I like that he tweets, it's nice getting info I want that isn't distorted by whoever is reporting it (on either side). I can see it being an issue though when it's a hacker tweeting Fcuk Russia, Fcuk NKoria, and Fcuk @Ford

I am commenting about him thinking what flies off the Don's fingers isn't distorted.

The media has never distorted one of Donald's tweets. Never. He has done a good enough job making himself and our country look like buffoons all by himself.

Hey copernicus , I wasn't saying they distorted his twats. I was speaking of how badly 99.9999999% of our media on both sides twist words and events to fit their cause or narrative. Keep it up and I'll be sending your ass another private message here , or if it gets more serious I'll send it through Facebook.

So we have two options to show just how incredibly stupid the above argument is:

Option 1) The entire reason Donald was elected was because he isn't "just another politician".

Option 2) How exactly does that make it OK? Lying is not OK, justifying it by saying "everyone else lies" is a logical fallacy

I'm taking votes on how we should answer this.

I utterly agree with you on this. But, remember ...

The White House is also on Twitter, and was during the Obama administration.

So it's not limited to Trump's personal account.

Illegal? Can you name an example? I'm trying to think of one (help me out, I'm being sincere).

Again, same issue with the @WhiteHouse account too.

The trans ban in the military was just determined to be an illegal order. Another example is Trump making a reference to the bergdahl trial, that is one of the reasons he got off Scott Free. If Trump would have shut his damn mouth then that traitor would have actually done jail time.

And I know the Whitehouse and Obama have Twitter accounts, the difference is if one of those two made a tweet along the lines of "North Korea messed up for the last time, gonna nuke them! Sad!" Everyone would be slightly concerned, but assume it was hacked or something. If that same tweet came from Trump people would be duck and covering asap.

It wasn't "illegal." It was temporarily blocked by a judge. It's still being decided whether the order will be allowed to stand.

You really throw words around without thinking.

The Commander-in-Chief has a lot of power. I agree with you, using Twitter to implement some policies is rather irresponsible. But it's not "illegal."

Example of "illegal"? (NOT)

Yes, the judge ruled that it was a mitigating circumstance. But that's not "illegal" either.

I agree that Trump's Tweet undermined some of the prosecutor's position. It also allowed him to make the case to have it decided by a judge, instead of his peers, which may have resulted in time.

I can understand how you feel. But he was given a dishonorable discharge. Given the evidence presented in his sentencing, I don't have an issue with that. You may disagree, and I can respect that.

That said ... WARNING: "Purposeful Objectivity Question/Test"
Q: What do you think of Obama commuting Manning's sentence to a small fraction of the original?

No, same problem ...

E.g., "By powers granted in UNSC Res 82 (1950), the US and its allies have re-engaged the DPRK. The threat to Seoul has been neutralized. Democratic unification underway." @WhiteHouse

Same problem. Exact same problem.

E.g., in this case, North Korea wonders if the Tweet was accidentally released before the pre-emptive attack began.

I.e., the message can always be crafted to fit the speaker.
 
Jesus...how many times do I have to tell you, keep it to 5 sentences or less. I'm not reading your goddamn novel.

Or are you just a question dodger, beyond being a continual hypocrite?

^ That's 4 + 1 (this one) statements total = 5
 
I don't have a problem with Trump wanting to use social media to get a message out. However, Twitter is not the platform for that. Twitter's length limitation forces shorthand and direct statements that can't be expanded upon. I'd prefer a brief statement where precise wording can be used and issues expanded upon.

If he wants to use Twitter it’s perfectly fine. But enough with the baiting, trolling, and acting like a child. You’re the god damn potus. Grow up and act like it.

Agree. The main thing for me is he posts controversial statements with little substance, directly related to the character limitation. If he wants to post controversial statements, then at least write a statement and post it to Twitter as an image. You can't make a political argument with 140 characters.

I warned every one of my Conservative friends that he was a RealityTV Star, and they should know what that comes with.

I agree with both of you. But yeah social media is a preferred communication method with a large part of our country but make a full statement that has been looked at like any other press release would be, make sure your words can't be misunderstood or twisted, and as Joe said make sure you aren't being a dumbass
