The president of the United States is calling for violence against American citizens.

That is so wrong. We need honest reckoning and reconciliation.

If you haven’t already joined the work to replace him in November, start now.

1. What exactly did Trump say?

I keep hearing this but can't find exactly what he said. This is why I don't like any censorship. Fact checking, yes, but we need to hear what this idiot is saying so we know how to counter his actions. Censoring his words actually helps him in cases like this since it keeps his supporters from hearing he really is and looking like fools for following him.

3. It's on twitter, it's still there with a disclaimer.

he said when the looting starts, that's when the shooting starts, talking about the national guard was coming to shoot protesters.

11. I think he was also encouraging his followers that

violence was the answer

[H2O Man]

16. +1

Exactly right.You hit the nail on the head. Thank you.

[SoonerPride]

4. Twitter didn't censor anything!

They left his tweet up even after saying it violated their terms of service!

[Dios Mio]

12. Keep your friends close and your enemies closer

31. I am NOT moving to DC.

1,500 miles is as close as I want to get to that moron.

[Laurelin]

5. I don't think he was censored

Twitter said his post broke their rules but they left it up, last I heard. He called the protestors thugs and said, When the looting starts the shooting starts. Apparently that's an infamous quote from the 60s riots. It's bad enough on its own.

6. What he said in both tweets that were flagged by Twitter

is visible here on DU in many threads. I suggest that you look for those threads here in the General Discussion Forum.

Don't expect everyone who posts on the subject to quote and link to the actual Twitter posts. They are now common knowledge.

[onetexan]

17. Damn. Twitter founders need to shut the Idiot's account down.

this is so highly dangerous and authoritarian.

[lagomorph777]

25. That would be against Putin's orders; they won't do it. Twit and Falsebook are filthy.

[Hermit-The-Prog]

30. We don't need Agolf Twitler whining about being a martyr.

Flag 'em and let the public ridicule his ignorant ass.

[C_U_L8R]

7. When the looting starts, that's when the shooting starts

It's an old racist trope dating back to the south in 1967. Designed to threaten, intimidate and stir up the maga-bigots. It's a kkklaxon, not a dog whistle.

[Scarsdale]

15. tRump, his crime family and everyone in this

administration has been looting the Treasury for almost 4 years. So, when can we start shooting them? Pompous Pompeo looted the Treasury for his exclusive dinners at the State Dept. all funded by the taxpayers. His big-boned wife (I get in trouble here if I say "fat&quot was in charge, taking names, checking bank accounts ready for her ascendency to the WH.

9. This is what he tweeted ...

... These THUGS are dishonoring the memory of George Floyd,
and I won’t let that happen. Just spoke to Governor Tim Walz
and told him that the Military is with him all the way.
Any difficulty and we will assume control but,
when the looting starts, the shooting starts.

Thank you!

[Kaiserguy]

18. If the murder of George Floyd

hadn't been caught on tape you can bet Trump would be singing a different song about George and what happened

[Volaris]

24. Yes because petty theft of personal property is OBVIOUSLY a capital offence.

If the cops would stop responding to peaceful assembly with swat teams and tear gas, there probably wouldnt be riots.

The written law exists to empower we the people. Not the people charged with executing or enforcing those laws. And if those enforcers cant understand the difference, then they probably shouldn't be doing that public service as paid work.

Just my 2 cents.

[aggiesal]

26. Can we see the 3 cent version? Maybe the nickle version? Don't hold back! n/t

[bronxiteforever]

2. Kick and recommend.

[TheBlackAdder]

8. The same 10 GOP asshole trolls camp on her Twitter feed and post crap.

[yellowdogintexas]

13. I was just going to post that reading the comments would only

make you furious

[certainot]

34. her biggest enemy is dying a miserable death and trump and mcconnell must be worried

limbaugh had to take a day off due to being too tired due to stage 4 lung treatment and this is when he was supposed to interpret it like he did ferguson or OWS and lead an army of blowhards all over the country.

without him the dildos have no head and they're going to be all over the place. they can go to the same sources but the way they interpret it will not form the well-coordinated propaganda chorus policed by limbaugh's dittoheads.

[McCamy Taylor]

10. Trumps now owns the riots

[ResistantAmerican17]

14. Am I missing something? Retweeted "dead Democrats" too?

[Dukkha]

19. and right wing conservative Jack Dorsey lets it all happen

profits > human life

[yellerpup]

20. He wants to be a wartime preesident...

ideally, against his own people.

[Volaris]

21. Honest reckoning...how bout we start with cops not murdering people.

Cause that seems like it would be a no-brainer.

[Mr. Ected]

22. But His Twitter Threats!

As if the media would treat HRC and Trump with equality.

[Gothmog]

23. Thank you Hillary Clinton

[calimary]

27. That's STILL MY President. SHE'S still MY President.

The so-called title-holder is in that office ILLEGITIMATELY. And frankly that becomes more painfully obvious by the hour.

[Alex4Martinez]

28. Can't wait til November, Congress needs to act soon. Look at this.

29. Holy shit

Resting up from an exhaustive set of ten hour shifts at the hospital, I got online before lunch to catch up on the news.
And now wishing I hadn't.
Shortly after the 2016 election I was so stunned I couldn't bear the thought of the damage this country would be suffering under such stark ineptitude and xenophobia. Then I dismissed it as, "well, can't change this outcome now, I suppose we'll survive it".
How wrong I was.
I think I need to take an extra lisinopril today after catching up. I wasn't shocked about the COVID spikes, I already knew that was happening.
But between the orange covidiot retweeting "Only good dem is a dead dem" and then this.
I shudder to think what the well armed and easily triggered hoardes of idiots will do next under these hints. I don't believe any of this is unintentional on Trump's part. He really wants mass murders and chaos under his directives.
Beam us up Scotty, there's no intelligent life here.

32. TY, Hillary!❤

Mahalo, Punkin!

[Old Crow]

33. Gotta hand it to her...

... she's got a great Twitter bio: "2016 Democratic Nominee, SecState, Senator, hair icon. Mom, Wife, Grandma x3, lawyer, advocate, fan of walks in the woods & standing up for our democracy."
