Last November Donald Trump announced that he is running for the Republican nomination for president in 2024. In the weeks that have followed he has done nothing to advance his candidacy except to post rancid comments attacking his enemies (especially Special Counsel Jack Smith) on his Twitter ripoff, Truth Social,...
Fail: REALITY BITES: That didn’t take long. Reality TV star and political neophyte Caitlyn Jenner was about 24 hours into the rollout of her California gubernatorial campaign this weekend when she posted her first major campaign gaffe on social media. Jenner, expressing outrage about a San Francisco Chronicle story involving SF DA Chesa...
Previous Guy has been desperate for a regular social media channel to wreak his nonsense. Likely he’ll violate the rules again because we’ve seen his poor impulse control and then there’s the Big Lie. Tech experts are skeptical about plans for a Trump social media platform, if only because justice...
Update: She has been located! Twitter: 1 million | Racist: 0 Her name is Stephanie Denaro. It’s not her first offense. — Melinda (@BijouxInMo) March 24, 2021 Calling all Twitter users, we need your help identifying this woman to bring her to immediate public shaming! As you can see, the...
You have to hand it to MyPillow Guy Mike Lindell. When life hands him lemons, he eats them so fast they become deadly choking hazards. His latest nonsense? He’s launching a new social media platform to compete with YouTube and Twitter, which for some reason no longer allow videos and...
The tweets are gone, and they’re never coming back. You probably already saw yesterday’s dispatch from the McRib-bespattered writing nook of our ex-pr*sident. (Is the McRib back yet? I can never keep track. They’re like meaty cicadas crawling out of the ground when you least expect it. Though if anyone...
Since the Great and Powerful Ooze hopped in his hot air balloon and flew back to Mar-a-Lago without Dorothy and Toto, I’ve seen neither hide nor hair of him. It’s like a roly-poly raccoon has been loose in the walls for the past four years and someone finally let him...
Banning Trump from Twitter has had a starkly noticeable and beneficial impact. It has been a refreshing break, to say the least, generally. And Just now, I heard a news anchor talking about how helpful it has been that Trump cannot attack Republicans debating impeachment in real time. This also made...
Darn that Big Tech, it’s like the Deep State decided to merge with it and become mega-kleptocracy. Appropriately the new platform could be called “Trump”, and like Parler, access your personal information with its influence and affiliation interface. It could cut out the “middleman” in his grifting model. Twitter permanently...
Twitter has finally and permanently suspended @realDonaldTrump from its platform. Bye Felicia. x After close review of recent Tweets from the @realDonaldTrump account and the context around them we have permanently suspended the account due to the risk of further incitement of violence.https://t.co/CBpE1I6j8Y — Twitter Safety (@TwitterSafety) January 8, 2021 x So...
How about a double shot of Schaden-Friday? This is the big one, folks. (Well, impeachment is the big one, but honestly, this probably stings him even more.) x In the context of horrific events this week, we made it clear on Wednesday that additional violations of the Twitter Rules would...
James Clayton is the North American tech reporter for BBC News, and he has an update on our home-grown Hefty bag full of lipo fat and deep-seated shame (i.e., it probably won’t be on Twitter that much longer). x A Twitter spokesperson tells me: “In line with our statement yesterday,...
Is this like conservatives abandoning Twitter for Parler? Actually, no. Sounds a bit more like people threatening to move to Canada if we pass “socialized” medicine. Because, uh, where the fuck are they gonna go for cheaper shit brought to you by workers who have been more cruelly exploited? Seems...
Trump’s doing nothing about the continuing rise in Covid cases, and is spending his time at golf and continuing to sow chaos on the path to the bunker. Meanwhile the derangement spreads to Newt Gingrich. x The more data comes out on vote anomalies that clearly are not legitimate the...
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. https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/1332173996134195202?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw How is it possible he still doesn’t get how many people loathe him? Needless to...
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...
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...
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...
The picture for this Post appears in the tweet video — watch x Turns out Twitter isn’t so bad when you read tweets that aren’t from President Trump. pic.twitter.com/ZKA2dwZQks— Joe Biden (@JoeBiden) October 18, 2020 < p class=”is-empty-p”>
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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”...
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...
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:...
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...
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...
How much will night four of George Floyd protests be more violent. One person died last night.

Yeah that should calm the country in the middle of a pandemic when 4 thugs… The real thugs murdered a black man. The orange brain...
Trump has gotten sanctioned by Twitter because he’d like looters shot. What kind of outrage will occur this morning when IMPOTUS* sees Twitter’s public interest notice on his tweet. This morning he doubled down, daring Twitter to act on both the @realDonaldTrump and @WhiteHouse accounts. Perhaps Trump will try to...
Trump looks for another distraction using the Twitter fact-check of his misinformation, hunting for some lawfare disruption, even as he withholds economic forecasts. Can’t fact check anything like an economic downturn if you don’t have them. The White House will only release forecast information until it serves the reelection effort,...
I mean, just because Donald Trump has the delicate, milky-white hands of a Precious Moments doll and the dyspeptic temperament of a purse poodle doesn’t mean we should call him #PresidentKaren. Just because he’s the whiniest, most privileged little fanny pack full of grievances in the known universe doesn’t mean...
All @Jack needs to do is suspend Trump for an unspecified amount of time. Then he’ll STFU, or at least restrain himself when caught in these rages. More likely Trump would abuse the @POTUS account as a substitute, This would challenge the pretense for @realDonaldTrump that “citizen Trump” is tweeting his...
It remains bizarre to me that Donald Trump is the president of the United States. If I’d woken up yesterday from a 20-year coma to discover Carrot Top or Fred “Rerun” Berry was president, I would have been marginally less surprised. But the day-to-day reality of Trump’s presidency is even more shocking...
The other half are also pretty dangerous… “A lot of disinformation is done through innuendo or done through illogical statements, and those are hard to discover,” https://twitter.com/KatyQ82600832/status/1262403028440793088?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw “Because [the pandemic is] global, it’s being used by various countries and interest groups as an opportunity to meet political agendas,” There’s been...

Okay, we are officially in the upside-down. Whoever had “the U.S. treasury secretary gets in a Twitter spat with Guns N’ Roses’ frontman Axl Rose and then posts Liberian flag to show his patriotism” on their apocalypse bingo card wins an extra cookie today. When the clone I use to...
Look, I hate Twitter too but this ridiculous: x Well, after phone calls, emails, letters, and faxes, I cannot get @johncornyn to unblock me. Looks like we're headed to court for real.

Kudos to Matthew Chapman at Raw Story for catching this: On Friday, Sen.

He does realize he has the authority to order companies to do this kind of thing, right?

So glad to see our government is on top of the coronavirus outbreak! Well, Rush Limbaugh thinks COVID-19 is just the common cold, and he has a Presidential Medal of Freedom, so I’m sure we have nothing to worry about. x I just tried again, and it looks like Johns Hopkins...
Get ready for an onslaught of climate disinformation as the 2020 Presidential campaign heats up between Trump and the eventual Democratic nominee. The same bad media actors that helped Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin steal our democracy in 2016 have done little to stem social media disinformation again in 2020...
Donald Trump is king of the bungle, but he’s not, in any formal sense, a monarch. That didn’t stop him from suggesting it this morning in a tweet, though: x …..biggest test of his presidency emboldened, ready to claim exoneration, and take his case of grievance, persecution and resentment to...
