Twitter flags Trump. Trump throws a tantrum. And the vicious cycle repeats in a fight Jack Dorsey will never win (via latimesopinion)

You have to hand it to Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey: He may have been lured into an unwinnable election-year fight with President Trump, but at least he’s still throwing punches.

Shortly before 1 a.m. Friday on the East Coast, Trump verbally barreled into the hot flaming mess on the ground in Minneapolis, where protests over the death of George Floyd had turned violent. A bystander’s video shows an unarmed Floyd, who is black, being suffocated by a white cop who was arresting him for

bill at a grocery store. The killing has prompted protests around the country against police officers’ excessive use of force.initiated a federal investigation into the “very sad and tragic death” and promising, “Justice will be served!” But his tone was completely different Friday, as television news channels broadcast footage of looting in Minneapolis:

....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!“When the looting starts, the shooting starts” is classic Trump: jargony macho bluster that’s menacing but vague enough for him to deny any overt threat.
