Are Trump's tweets being archived in any systematic way?

By the White House?

By any dedicated websites? Or only here and there by random individuals taking screenshots?

Isn't there some Archives law that requires this?

Also, has anyone ever done a word cloud on Trump's tweets? I'd like to see that.

They are going into the Library of Congress. Preserved til Judgement Day

If Trump got hacked, what kind of insanity would it have to be to make anyone think that it wasn't him

Like, if the hacker posted "My newest orders are to nuke Europe because they SUCK" how long would it take before someone asked if it was fake

Also, it would be ironic if Trump's tweets about banning trans military folks were prompted by Ann Coulter hectoring him about the base, because.. ah never mind.

This is the Federal Government giving the green light to bigots to openly discriminate against LGBT people with the knowledge that they will not face any federal consequences for doing so.

I'm sure they could dig up Diocletion's tax reform, and jsut have everyone pay their tax in kind.

So you owe 10 days of programming work for the government, and you need to provide 50 bushels of corn, and you need to drive 500 miles of domestic troop transportation

While you're answering that, I'll go find a locker to shove myself into.

Follow-up question, would Orange Julius ADMIT to getting hacked and roll it back, or would he double down "OF COURSE I WANT TO NUKE EUROPE AND DAFT PUNK IS THE BEST THAT'S WHY I TWEETED IT"

I got into an argument with a trump supporter about the new ban. He was very mad about people that never served telling the military how to do things when they opposed the ban. I am wondering how Trump not serving and telling over 15000 people they can't serve as they have before never occurred to him. He hasn't answered yet but I presume he needs some time to think up a way around that giant block in his brain.

Holy gently caress there is so much wrong with that statement. For example it's totally possible to live with women and not rape them.

I'd know he has the secret service and all but god drat I wish some femarine would whoop the loving poo poo out of Mike Pence.

Perhaps the secret service should only use women for his protection detail from now on.

I'm sure he'll shoot back with something. Trumpafellstaff can't accept that Godking can be wrong. As that article put it earlier, it's the party of Kid Rock now: pissing off liberals is the only mission statement.

So, they voting on skinny repeal today?

Let's be clear that DOJ amicus brief is revolting and it sucks but it's not complete 1000 years of darkness. Unfortunately, only I think 19 states and DC have laws that do not allow you to be fired because of sexual orientation.

That is why I specified Federal consequences. I'm very lucky because I live in Portland- which is about as safe for a non-passing transwomen as exists in our country at present. I actually trust the local police not to target me for my gender identity.

If I was still living in San Antonio OTOH I can't imagine the conditions I would actually call the police under- the odds of either being victimized by the police or having my report simply discarded because of my gender identity would make relying on the police a risky gambit. One not to be undertaken except that there is literally no other option to preserve my life.

this is problematic for Heller because he basically said "im going to do what that guy says" and pointed to Sandoval earlier

he's shameless of course and will probably ignore this but it'll raise the heat on Heller
