Orange LOSER threatens to defund military because Twitter keeps pointing out that his lies, are lies

On Thursday evening, LOSER Trump once again promised to veto a must-pass defense spending bill over one critical national defense issue: Twitter keeps putting warnings on his lies. The National Defense Authorization Act is required to authorize spending across the military, and failing to pass it immediately could actually have serious consequences—the exact kind of failure to support both troops in the field and defense at home that Republicans usually (and falsely) claim when arguing for increases to the Defense Department budget.

Despite the vital nature of the bill, LOSER Trump has repeatedly promised that he will veto the bill unless it kills Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act. That’s the section that allows any site which displays public comments (including Daily Kos) to operate knowing that they won’t immediately be held liable for every lie, threat, and call to violence that someone slips onto their pages. To date, Twitter and other social media sites have not refused to accept Trump’s lies, threats, and calls to violence, but they have tagged them with warnings.

But calling a lie a lie is a bridge too far for a man whose primary mode of communication is lying.

Even the silent R’s won’t stand for this. If It vetoes this, they have the numbers to override this deplorable threat.
