Potter needs to block out better there. — Brad Miller (@BradMiller_WX) December 5, 2020 It's complicated I went back and watched and you're right. BUT ... that could be a TV timing thing.

Once President-elect Joe Biden assumes office on Inauguration Day, Twitter could remove President Trump’s special privileges as a high-profile world leader and treat his account as a normal one.Twitter confirmed reports that a change in the account’s status could lead to harsher enforcement actions – although a spokesman said the policy was nothing new.The platform has a public interest exemption for the accounts of world leaders, whose words are generally newsworthy and important for their citizens to read, even if they violate the rules.

(AP Photo/Evan Vucci) TULSI GABBARD URGES TRUMP NOT TO 'BACK DOWN' AGAINST BIG TECHBut the exemption does not apply to former world leaders, a spokesman said.Trump’s personal Twitter account has more than 88 million followers, and his most recent five tweets early Friday evening each received more than 50,000 likes – with the highest racking up nearly 140,000.But his tweets about unsubstantiated claims of voter fraud have garnered warning tags from Twitter that read, “This claim about election fraud is disputed.”Even those posts, however, receive tens…

10:01 PM PST 12/3/2020 by Abid Rahman Axelle/Bauer-Griffin/FilmMagic Letitia Wright The 'Black Panther' star faced a backlash after posting a fact-free YouTube video that questioned the efficacy and safety of a potential COVID-19 vaccine and vaccines generally. Letitia Wright faced a Twitter backlash on Thursday night after posting a link to a YouTube video questioning whether people should take any prospective COVID-19 vaccine and the safety of vaccines generally. The Black Panther star tweeted a video from On The Table, a YouTube discussion channel, where the presenter opined at length about the efficacy of vaccines, the dangers of taking them and the supposed origins of the ingredients of a COVID-19 vaccine.  "I don't understand vaccines medically, but I've always been a little bit of a skeptic of them," the presenter Tomi Arayomi says towards the beginning of his fact-free monologue which was full of personal anecdotes and his own feelings on vaccines generally. After Wright had posted the video to Twitter with the prayer hands emoji, she quickly became embroiled in arguments with users taking her to task for using her platform to spread misinformation on vaccines. The British actress, who is currently starring in Steve McQueen's acclaimed Small Axe anthology…

Published 13 hours ago Sasha Obama is out here on social media, looking gorgeous and living her best life with her friends, and usually that's a cue for haters and racists to try to steal her joy. Sasha and her older sister Malia Obama are routinely scrutinized by right wing pundits and Twitter trolls for doing everyday, normal young adult things like wearing a bikini at the beach or cuddling with a boyfriend. But this time, Black Twitter is ready and on the defense. After Sasha appeared in a TikTok video dancing and acting goofy with a group of friends (while also looking extremely fly in a set of long acrylic nails), hundreds of people on social media jumped out with a warning for anyone fixing their fingers to malign the 19-year-old daughter of Barack and Michelle Obama. "Let me see one post slandering Sasha Obama because she’s living her life...," one Twitter user wrote, while another added, "Our Sasha Obama looks happy, has a group of normal looking friends, and is simply beautiful. We’re good over here." See some hilarious tweets leaping to Sasha's defense, below: Photo: BRENDAN SMIALOWSKI/AFP via Getty Images

By: Trends Desk | New Delhi | Updated: December 2, 2020 7:22:06 pm From global brands to netizens, the monolith has triggered a fun photoshop battle online. The mystery behind the blink-and-miss shiny metallic monoliths, which were spotted first in the US and then in Romania, has triggered frenzied chatter while spawning a rail of conspiracy theories on social media. Carrying on from the social media intrigue, the unexplained landmarks have also sparked a hilarious meme-fest online that has got not only brands but even cops involved. An appearance of a metallic structure in Utah desert in late November left the world flummoxed, even drawing comparisons with Stan Kubrick’s sci-fi classic ‘2001: A Space Age Odyssey’. However, more than its unexplained appearance, it was its disappearance that got everyone talking and even led to wild theories linking it to aliens. Even before the world could make any sense of the mysterious monolith in the sands of Utah, a similar looking metallic column was spotted in Romania’s mountainous Neamt county, leading to speculation that the two could be related. What began as jokes surrounding alien involvement, slowly progressed to memes with people photoshopping various items in place of the metal monolith…

HARRISBURG, Pa. (WHTM) — It’s no secret that during a stressful time for the entire country, people are spending more time on social media. Many are turning to one Pennsylvania power couple’s social media accounts to get some laughs. Lt. Governor John Fetterman and his wife Gisele Fetterman are a hit on Twitter. They say they’re serious when they need to be, but they use the app to connect with constituents and to simply make people smile. “I’ll wake up in the morning and I’ll just see the latest drags that I’ve gotten,” said Lt. Governor John Fetterman. Lt. Governor John Fetterman’s biggest fan is actually his biggest troll: Gisele Fetterman. “GQ referred to him as an American style god,” Gisele Fetterman jokes. “No, taste…an American taste god,” said Lt. Governor John Fetterman. “It’s so offensive,” Gisele Fetterman said with a laugh. “But so true though,” said Lt. Governor John Fetterman. The two write all of their own tweets. “We take the work seriously, but we don’t take each other seriously and we don’t take ourselves seriously and I think that’s an important balance to have,” said Gisele Fetterman. Many Twitter users love it. The couple gets thousands of engagements.…

(Reuters) - Value stocks are poised to catch up with better-performing peers if Washington passes new stimulus spending or similar actions to restore economic growth, the chief executive of Calvert Management and Research, John Streur, said.FILE PHOTO: John Streur, CEO of Calvert Research & Management (currently owned by Eaton Vance Corp) is seen in this undated handout photo. EATON VANCE CORP/Handout via REUTERS. Financial and industrial stocks, as well as some utility companies, “seem likely to play a bit of catch-up and make up for the ground they lost” compared with growth stocks like technology companies, said Streur, who was interviewed on Monday for the Reuters Global Investment Outlook Summit 2020.For example, he said, utilities or transportation companies would benefit from extra spending by business customers if they had new money from the government, seen as more likely with the incoming administration of President-Elect Joe Biden.“The biggest impact of the election is the hope that we’ll have significantly more stimulus,” even if Congress remains divided, Streur said.Value stocks have lagged many growth portfolios this year as the coronavirus pandemic shut down much of the U.S. economy and sent some technology companies soaring - “pandemic darlings” Streur called them.Others also have…

PHOENIX (3TV/CBS5) -- On the day the Arizona general election results were certified by Gov. Doug Ducey and Sec. of State Katie Hobbs, a war of words broke out on Twitter.  Arizona Governor Doug Ducey and Secretary of State Katie Hobbs certified results at the official canvass for federal, state, legislative offices, and statewide ballot measures on Monday morning. It started with President Trump taking aim at Ducey, and the fact that Mark Kelly can now be sworn into the U.S. Senate. He tweeted:Why is he rushing to put a Democrat in office, especially when so many horrible things concerning voter fraud are being revealed at the hearing going on right now. What is going on with @dougducey? Republicans will long remember!"What the president tweeted is not true. Arizona election officials have said there is no evidence of any election fraud.Ducey then fired back, writing a long thread defending the integrity of our state's election system.He tweeted:I’ve been pretty outspoken about Arizona’s election system, and bragged about it quite a bit, including in the Oval Office. And for good reason. We’ve been doing early voting since 1992. Arizona didn’t explore or experiment this year. We didn’t cancel election day voting as…
