https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2020/01/23/trump-record-most-tweets-since-taking-office/4551815002/

quote:

President Donald Trump reached a milestone Wednesday, posting the most tweets and retweets from his Twitter account in a single day since taking office, according to a site that monitors the president's online presence.

Trump shattered his record of 123 Twitter posts in a day – which was set Dec. 12 as the House Judiciary Committee debated two articles of impeachment against him – with 142 tweets and retweets, according to data compiled by Factbas.se.

The president got an early start on posting from his Twitter feed because he began the day in Davos, Switzerland. The time is six hours ahead of Washington, where his Senate impeachment trial got underway later. Trump knocked off early after leaving the World Economic Forum, posting his last tweet – a retweet of Rep. Doug Collins, R-Ga., criticizing lead House impeachment manager Rep. Adam Schiff, D-Calif. – at 6:18 p.m. EST.

Yeah, depending on how pedantic you want to be about species. The asian market in my rust belt city probably has 30 kinds of fish/seafood available all the time.

Hi there, would you like to try some spicy products?

1. Ist there any real confirmation of these crazy reports of thousands of dead, folks dying on the streets and the dead being insta-cremated, outside of Twitter reports?

The closing down of main routes into cities I have no trouble believing, hospitals way beyond capacity because panic, yeah, because official reports and whatnot, but the rest? Any hard confirmation on that?

2. No one is going to care about impeachment now, right?

I distinctly remember there being a big thing in China a few years back where there was a giant black market for cooking oil which resulted in people making knock off poo poo from sewage sludge and selling it at a discount to places around the country. Of course said knock off cooking oil contained like 50 bajillion carcinogens and was making people sick all over.

edit- I say this to show how loving thankful I am that there is some food regulation here in the US and would point to what happens in China to anyone who wants to weaken our regulations.

Gutter oil is still a thing.

And lots of Chinese still buy and resell baby formula from other countries because they do not trust Chinese formula.

1. It's china so we're not going to get accurate numbers anyhow. Assume they report low.

2. Impeachment is a sham as long as the GOP keeps blocking everything.

Apparently he was threatening a different nazi. I saw some journalist tweet that while Cantwell and the threatened nazi had both been threatening her, only threatening the other nazi has resulted in charges. If I see the tweet again I'll post it to see if that's all accurate.
