People tweeting stuff. We allow tweets from anyone.
RULES:
- Mark NSFW content.
- No doxxing people.
- Must be a pic of the tweet or similar. No direct links to the tweet.
- No international politcs
- Be excellent to each other.
- Provide an archived link to the tweet (or similar) being shown if it's a major celebrity, figure or any politician. If you replace the "x" at their site with xcancel (so it beomes xcancel.com), and you're not on mobile, it will save video. https://web.archive.org/save is another great option. Archive.is is no longer recommended because they remove/alter content.
- If a tweet (or similar) makes a statement of fact, either mark it as "satire" in the body or provide the original source link backing up the statement

MODERATORS
(preface: I agree that trump has done multiple executable offenses)
She tweeted "we execute pedophiles not elect them." While retweeting a Trump quote, so it's kinda clear who she was referring to without any admission of his pedophilia.
No, she didn't tweet that. She didn't say "we," she's an American citizen.
She said "they".
Very important use of language in this context.
My point was that it's clear she meant trump. I guess there are many contexts in which my mistake matters but I don't see how it would here
Ok, I just thought it was important to point out how she's being misquoted here, even by people who apparently agree with her.
Point taken. It was an honest mistake. I think I read it as the popular use of "we" that isn't quite literal. But I was mistaken.
It was more of a critique of the media, than of you in particular.
