Yes, and Trump has led the Twitter race into the gutter with his juvenile tweets.
Donald Trump has no clue as to what "insuring the domestic tranquility" means

The Baltimore Orioles are shocking the baseball world!

It's off topic, but shouldn't your flag be something like this?

Also, Nicknaming is a no no. People have been warned for Drumpf, so I suggest a hasty edit on that sir name.

You might want to edit out the underlined name for Trump. Political nicknaming is against the rules and I'd bet you'll get warned forthwith.

The posturing against Russia is just a pantomime to quiet the base, just like the wasting of cruise missiles in Syria was. Donnie's refusal to enforce unanimous Congressional sanctions on Russia with a copout excuse that the threat of sanctions alone were enough reeking of the same paper tiger hesitancy that the Republicans caricaturize the United Nations with speaks volumes on his real stance on Russia.

Crimes committed by Muslims will be proof of a pan-Islamic plot and Islam's inherent evil. On the other hand, crimes committed by non-Muslims will merely be the acts of mentally ill lone wolves who do not represent their professed belief system at all.
The probability of someone secretly participating in homosexual acts is directly proportional to the frequency and loudness of their publicly professed disapproval and/or disgust for homosexuality.
If Donald Trump accuses an individual of malfeasance without evidence, it is almost a certainty either he or someone associated with him has in fact committed that very same malfeasance to a greater degree.

I don't see the problem with turning this into an American domestic/foreign politics thread. Everyone can still talk about Trump.

Apparently Russian bots on Twitter are going nuts pushing gun control and pro gun arguments.

Clearly we just need to ban Twitter and be done with it.

One more person charged in the Trump-Russia inquiry, London-based lawyer, Alex van der Zwaan. That makes nineteen people charged so far.

There are no brakes on the Mueller train.

Could be one helluva train wreck if the old Trump train is headed the opposite direction on the same tracks. OTOH, they might only have a garbage truck to use by now.

And the universe is pretending to be Gomez Addams , getting ready to put it on the same tracks opposite the Trump Train.

IDK. Twitter is being used as a vehicle to yell fire in a crowded theater. Freedom of speech doesn't extend to that.

You say that, but haven't you become supportive of friendly relations with Russia and opposed to democracy? They've already gotten to you.
