People tweeting stuff. We allow tweets from anyone.

RULES:

  1. Mark NSFW content.
  2. No doxxing people.
  3. Must be a pic of the tweet or similar. No direct links to the tweet.
  4. No international politcs
  5. Be excellent to each other.
  6. 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.
  7. 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

You’re numb to every cop you see, because I guarantee they all have guns. Around 1/3rd of Americans personally own a gun, this isn’t a Spiders Georg situation.

Okay. Plenty of Americans see cops every day because they live in highly policed cities. The metro area I live in isn’t even that highly policed and I *still * see cops at least half the time when I go outside.
