"SNIP.....

“Twitter on Tuesday slapped a fact-check label on President Trump’s tweets for the first time, a response to long-standing criticism that the company is too hands-off when it comes to policing misinformation and falsehoods from world leaders,” the Washington Post reports.

“The move, which escalates tensions between Washington and Silicon Valley in an election year, was made in response to two Trump tweets over the past 24 hours. The tweets falsely claimed that mail-in ballots are fraudulent.”

There is NO WAY (ZERO!) that Mail-In Ballots will be anything less than substantially fraudulent. Mail boxes will be robbed, ballots will be forged & even illegally printed out & fraudulently signed. The Governor of California is sending Ballots to millions of people, anyone.....

....living in the state, no matter who they are or how they got there, will get one. That will be followed up with professionals telling all of these people, many of whom have never even thought of voting before, how, and for whom, to vote. This will be a Rigged Election. No way!

8. I think they should just label

every thing he tweets "total bullshit"! Pretty simple.

9. Just imagine little Donny without his twitter

He'd be rendered mute -- his little pea-brain couldn't handle any other form of correspondence over 160 characters and can't be done on a gold toilet

10. They should label his incitements to violence against governors of US states with treason,

among other things. I guess if that is the best they can do. At least they did something, but I think they should have done much more, like suspend his account until he learns at least not to incite violence against US governors.
