Honestly if he leaves Twitter it would doom his insane murder-causing ramblings to obscurity, which is why I want his gargantuan dumb rear end to do it :getin:

Also, if Donald decides to go directly after twitter, can't they just ban his account for violating TOS?

Corporations are people with rights after all :unsmigghh:

The way it goes is....

Bird crazies > horse crazies > dog crazies > reptile crazies > normal bird people > normal dog people > normal horse people > normal reptile people, with normal dog people and lower being acceptable.

Normal bird people are still crazy, it's because they all have psittacosis.

I have a bird and I want more so I mostly agree but the horse people are the weirdest.

i sorta hope trump just keeps escalating anyway. he will probably tweet more about it soon and maybe if we get lucky try to make a speech about it. least i hope so.

It's not even though Twitter is preventing Donny from lying like a 6th grader, they are just providing links below it. Donny is still allowed to vomit forth what ever inane dementia tinged ramblings he wants.

But even correcting him or even the illusion of correcting him is a step too far

Donny is a malignant narcissist. ANY step real or imagined to stop or correct his behavior is seen as just as outrageous as any possible perceived slight to him is.

This cannot stand, because he is always right, even when he's wrong. It doesn't matter that Twitter as a platform contributed greatly to his electoral win and his ongoing "popularity", they must be destroyed for daring to speak against him

I unfortunately do have to turn in my veterinarian card for leaving out cat people in that list, but nothing will beat being chased by a client through a Walmart (first and last time I went to Walmart) yelling at me if I wanted to buy one of her African Gray parrots. That client was a massive nutter.

Realistically though the true spectrum actually has overlap between the groups and is probably some horrendous box and whisker monstrosity comparison thing that might be funny to make where you have more bird crazies be worst than most horse crazies but a few horse crazies being weird af.

One good idea is to bring some dog treats with you when you're out, and offer them to dogs. The dogs will be very appreciative, will remember you forever, and just like that, you're friends with all the dogs.

I know we’re all pessimistic as poo poo, but @jack is starting to look, sound, and act like someone who has gone so far out on peyote/lsd that he might be a totally new person.

I’ve had a couple of acquaintances who were moving decently well up the corporate ladder come back from a long camping trip, sell everything, buy an RV and just vanish.

probably. my honest guess is if trump loses, he will say some truly insane poo poo(i know) and #shutthefuckuptrump will trend and than they will ban or probe him.

The Trump administration has an End Show Cersei-level cabinet: Qyburn filling the roles of 8 different people at once while salivating over the prospect of making a better walking zombie than the one he already created, and a Sex Pirate who thinks he runs everything but actually doesn’t do or understand poo poo and isn’t even a formal part of the government.

They remain in power because everyone in opposition to them is infinitely stupider than they have managed to be.

For clarity, it's an even dumber example. This was on the requests for the ballots, he just changed the requested ballot for some Independents from Democrat to Republican and hosed with a few requests (I assume the address or something), supposedly to be "silly." I'm not sure it would even have any real benefits unless you knew how they were going to vote in the primary. Presumably the people would have just called the Secretary of State's office when they got the wrong ballot or didn't get one. As noted, it was also really, really obvious and easy to catch by the basic systems in place.

This was also only possible because the request was handled as a postcard for expediency, so it was easier to gently caress with. This was probably fine because there's almost no benefit to loving with the request, and any issues could be fixed. The actual ballots are more proper with a double-sealed envelope, so this wouldn't really be possible.

Of course not, Trump is working the refs like the GOP has been doing for the last 50 years and Twitter will put up a week protest before @jack falls back into line and begs on his knees
