Today, I’m thankful for family, friends, my home, my health, Joe Biden, and Kamala Harris — but mostly I’m thankful that #DiaperDon is trending on Twitter … … and Donald Trump apparently saw it. Twitter is sending out totally false “Trends” that have absolutely nothing to do with what is really trending in the world….

Jim Jordan just got the scorching of a lifetime on Twitter
I live in Oregon. My Thanksgiving is likely to be just my wife and me eating either a vegan roast or, if we’re too lazy to turn the oven on (and that’s a distinct possibility), perhaps takeout Thai food. But if we were going to have lots of people over (which, again, would be a…
TWITTER Flagged Donald Trump 63 TIMES in Just the Last Week for Posting 'Misinformation'
The headline of this article really needs to sink in: Twitter Flagged Trump 63 Times in the Last Week for Posting Misinformation. That's a profound indictment of Trump's veracity and ethics, or more accurately, lack thereof. It means that 40% of Trump's tweets (not including retweets) were found to be so counter to the facts…
Trump as dignity-free zone, conceding to Biden on Twitter, but no-take-backsies on an Egyptian river
Will he claim that those five million votes were Californians illegally voting. x “I concede NOTHING!” is not a normal thing for a president to write. But his refusal to concede is meaningless. What matters is that the Presidential Transition Act directs Emily Murphy to ascertain the “apparent” winner and release transition resources. Do your…
Twitter Says CIVILIAN TRUMP Will Be Subject to Suspension for His Lies and Abuse
Elections have consequences. And one of those that could be surprisingly significant is the position that Twitter is taking toward the Tweeter-in-Chief, Donald Trump. Now that Joe Biden has succeeded in deposing Trump, he will no longer have the special status that has shielded him from the rules that the rest of have been subject…
Twitter will no longer carve out exceptions for Trump after he's gone; will he be deplatformed?
Donald Trump has violated Twitter’s terms of service God knows how many times. He glorifies violence, makes unhinged threats, spreads disinformation (including bizarre and dangerous conspiracy theories), and generally acts like a raging asshole festooned with a magician’s array of aloe and Sriracha wet wipes. On the other hand, Twitter is his lifeline. It’s how he gets around the…
TRUMP WHINES: Twitter Won't Allow Me to Tweet Bogus Biden Story that I'm Tweeting
The closing arguments for Donald Trump's floundering reelection campaign are focused narrowly on two subjects, neither of which the American people consider relevant to their lives. Nevertheless, Trump is spending the last week before election day hammering away repetitively at these non-issues in a desperate attempt to claw his way out of the abyss he…
GA-Sen B: “Pro-Life” Doug Collins (R) Takes To Twitter To Celebrate Ruth Bader Ginsburg's Death
That is some disgustingly shameless pandering: x RIP to the more than 30 million innocent babies that have been murdered during the decades that Ruth Bader Ginsburg defended pro-abortion laws. With @realDonaldTrump nominating a replacement that values human life, generations of unborn children have a chance to live.— Doug Collins (@CollinsforGA) September 19, 2020 A…
Twitter cancels Trump… again, and Roger Stone wants to arrest you
Trump tried to disinform again and again… x It’s just so embarrassing pic.twitter.com/6I1ROwr86G— MeidasTouch.com (@MeidasTouch) September 12, 2020 x Attorney General William Barr makes yet another false claim, this time wrongly claiming that mail voting means “there's no secret vote” and that “the government” can find out who you voted for. Fact check from colleague…
#TedCruzHasNoBalls is trending on Twitter. For the love of Ted Cruz, please make it stop
I’m no fan of Ted Cruz, but this is so, so unfair. He almost certainly has testicles. He has a daughter who finds him frightfully off-putting, after all: They say blood is thicker than water, but Ted Cruz revulsion is universal. So the #TedCruzHasNoBalls hashtag got started because Cruz attempted to make a joke, which is never…
Biden offers beautiful tribute to John Lewis; Trump's Twitter is still silent
According to the Trump Twitter archive, Trump hasn’t posted about Rep. John Lewis since January 2017, when he felt compelled to whine about Lewis’ decision to skip Trump’s inauguration. Since Lewis’ passing yesterday, Trump has yet to acknowledge him on his favorite media platform. Joe Biden, on the other hand, understands the moment, as well as Lewis’…
TX-Sen: Cornyn (R) Gets OWNED On Twitter For Trying To Discredit Experts About Kids Getting COVID-19
Someone need to keep this idiot off of Twitter: x Which ones? https://t.co/E1yuUCqwph— Senator John Cornyn (@JohnCornyn) July 12, 2020 Senator John Cornyn (R-TX) has questioned what experts he should listen to amid the COVID-19 pandemic as coronavirus continues to blight Texas—with speculation it could be forced to return to lockdown to stem infections. On Sunday, former Democratic presidential hopeful…
Tom Nichols responds to Bret Stephens with an incredible Twitter thread
Bret Stephens wrote an obnoxious column, to which I will not link. I have given you his picture. Tom Nichols, the author of The Death of Expertise, a professor at the Naval War College, and a frequent contributor on MS-NBC, felt drawn to do a Twitter thread in response to the argument put forth by…
disinfo 101: retreating from Twitter to where… Parler? (hahahahahaha…)
Apparently there’s RWNj demand for something that’s like Twitter but monetizes subscription scams and harvests influence among like-minded crazies. Parler is the RWNJ refuge from Twitter, like it makes much of a difference considering Twitter still allows Trump to tweet. So much work just so you can show reactionary “tongue-in-cheek” pictures of your guns and…
Mooo(t): litigious cowpoke Devin Nunes (CA-22) cannot hold Twitter accountable for parody accounts
It couldn’t be the case that Devin Nunes suffered hardship because he did things that jeopardized the Republic. Rep. Devin Nunes (R-Calif.) cannot include Twitter in his lawsuit against two parody accounts and a Republican strategist he accuses of defaming him on the platform, a federal judge ruled Wednesday. Twitter cannot be held legally liable for statements…
Trump Returns From Tulsa With Tie Undone, Oh Sh!t Look on His Face [Update: Twitter Silence]
This photo is a screen grab off a video taken as Bunker Boy was leaving his helicopter after returning from the disaster that was Tulsa. So the quality isn’t the best. (But then, with Bunker Boy, it never is.) Here’s a link to the twitter feed of the video: https: //twitter.com/i/status/1274585675845828611 (DKos for some reason…
Safe Bets About Trump's Twitter Rampage Tomorrow.
To be a fly on the wall on Air Force one tonight. We already had the lies tonight about the Trump Coronavirus Fest in Tulsa from Trump and his campaign. The turn out for the adoration for the great god was a bust because of those vile protesters and the the enemy of mankind the media. …
TX-Sen: MJ Hegar (D) Brilliantly Hits Ted Cruz (R) Over His Idiotic Twitter Feud With Ron Perlman
So this is an actual thing: “Listen Hellboy.” So began one of the weirdest episodes in what has been one of the weirdest years in politics, well, ever. The author of those words was none other than Republican Texas Sen. Ted Cruz, who was responding to a tweet from actor Ron Perlman (aka “Hellboy”…
Trump doubles down by repeating his shooting threat on 2nd Twitter account, Twitter responds in kind
How much will night four of George Floyd protests be more violent. One person died last night. Are you distracted from 102,000 deaths yet? 70 people were arrested in NYC protests. 44 meatpacking workers have died.
