I’ve been working and popped over to see what’s new before shutting down for the night, and it looks like everyone has been raptured or the other FPs are having a party and forgot to invite us. Anyway, here’s an open thread for you.
I’m not sure what’s going on here, but Twitter is all aflutter because IQ45 is having another night of meltdowns and went after John Legend and Chrissy Teigen in some incomprehensible tweet (I know, redundant).

I’m thinking if Nancy P comes out for impeachment hearings in the next few weeks, the mental implosion will be complete.

What an awesome mom CT is being! And I here her husband is… (wait for it)… Legend!

The pu$$y assed bitch was going on about Lester Holt criminal justice reform special. He brought Teigen and Legend into his tweets, even though they didn’t say anything in the special…he’s having a me Me ME meltdown.
Chrissy responded as only she can. ?

WTH indeed? I just went to TrumpTwitterArchive to see for myself what he’s been tweeting, and EVERY SINGLE TWEET FROM 2019 has disappeared! The last one in the archive is dated December 31, 2018. What the fuck is going on with him?

President Sundown is a national embarrassment.

@West of the Rockies: If you’re talking about Chrissy Teigen…
Should I give you the boot, or will you leave peacefully? :)

There’s nothing Trump can inflict on John Legend and Chrissy Teigen beyond these futile outbursts. They won’t be hurt or damaged at all. You and I will point and laugh — at Trump. He’s figuratively just wasting ammo on them. But if anyone who works for him points that out, they’re endangering their job. Which is a great situation for those who like to point and laugh at Trump.

@SiubhanDuinne: don’t know anything about the twit archive…but maybe scrubbing it is the WH attempt to destroy evidence … and pretend that drumpf has never incriminated himself in multiple crimes via his twitter feed.
mrmoshpotato
@SiubhanDuinne: IIRC, https://mobile.twitter.com/RealPressSecBot makes Dump’s tweets into official statements in screenshot form.

@mrmoshpotato: lol, not quite.

And then her feed is full of win.?????

@sukabi:
Enough people report and comment on Trump’s tweets in other media that simply erasing the tweets from the Twitter archive is not going to hide his tracks well enough.

Wait…AL doesn’t have a night thread sitting on the dashboard? She’s usually awake right now because night owl/potential vampire, but she at least puts up something automatic.

Oh no. Yutsano is demanding to speak to a manager.

@sukabi:
Das ist wahr. It’s one of the many things Trump’s people don’t dare clue him in on.

Fucking #p*ssyassbitchpresident has politicized the weather AND blown up a chance to end the war in Afghanistan in the last 72 hours, all due the world’s most fragile ego.
He is the Shit Midas.

I used to use that site, but in the past few months I believe (per commenter JPL) that it was taken down. But I didn’t think TrumpTwitterArchive was maintained by Trump or WH interests. Could be wrong. Anyhow, I don’t bother unless someone calls attention to an especially crazed or unhinged tweetstorm, and I can always google my way in if needed.
SiubhanDuinne
@SiubhanDuinne:
And FWIW, the archive seems to have been restored, so it might just have been housecleaning of some kind.

Another announcement just made ordering any Bahamian without a US visa to disembark ferry — not allowed to evacuate. They were told before boarding it was ok with Bahamian passport and clean polce record. Something has now changed. https://t.co/m7CnZxoiMM https://twitter.com/BrianEntin/status/1170849997765652480?s=17

I don’t think you’re going to be waiting much more than a few weeks. Impeachment is coming and I think the Dems think they might have him dead to rights. Keep an eye on Adam Schiff.

@SiubhanDuinne: Speaking of his feed, I figured out today that Trump picked up 1.1 million followers in a 2-3 day period this week. And nearly every single one — I mean like more than 95% — are fake and most have fewer than 3 followers. I’m trying to figure out 1. How they did it and 2. Why they did it.
Fair Economist
@Jason Consolidation: How? Bots. It’s easy to have computer programs to create Twitter accounts in mass. Why? To control the conversation on twitter. Have 10,000 bots tweet something with lots of likes from the rest and whatever they want is trending #1 on Twitter.

Right up there with “Never get in a land war in Asia” should be “Never get in a Twitter fight with Chrissy Teigen.” And now U.S. presidents have done both.
I am terrified by her, and I don’t even have a Twitter account. She is a remorseless killing machine. As @RealDonaldTrump is about to discover.

Just got official statement from Customs and Border Protection.
“CBP was notified of a vessel preparing to embark an unknown number of passengers in Freeport and requested that the operator of the vessel coordinate with U.S. and Bahamian government officials.”
This ferry I’m on is operated by Balearia — a major company with a regular schedule
1 hour ago
Just interviewed @CBPFlorida when we got off ferry in FL. They say they would have accepted and processed the Bahamians, and blame the ferry company Balearia.
CBP says they tried to coordinate with Balearia but company “made a business decision” to take the evacuees off the boat.

You don’t really believe that, do you? At best, the US troops would have finally come home from a place we never should have invaded*, no doubt under somewhat embarrassing terms. And I would have applauded that result because, again, we never should have invaded to begin with**, but the war would have continued, and will not end until our supposed allies, the elected govt of Afghanistan, had been completely obliterated. We know this because they were not involved in the negotiations at the insistence of the Taliban. The only reason the President of Afghanistan was going to be at Camp David for the signing of the agreement is because, as everyone knows, no non-aggression pact is complete with out a sacrificial lamb being slaughtered at the alter of peace.
* we should never invade a country if we are not going to invest the necessary resources to ensure favorable results.
** see above.
sukabi
@Aleta: easy to blame the ferry company, that’s been the MO for every repugnant policy that this admin has implemented.
Just based on their history over the last 3 years I fully expect it will come out that this was yet another drumpf admin order, surprised that the action was exposed this quickly.

@SiubhanDuinne: Twitter took it down for awhile. There’s another site called unfollow trump you can use also.

@Aleta: Who knew that parents with babies in their arms would be on the news? That was probably not the look they wanted.

@OzarkHillbilly: I’m conflicted be cause the Taliban’s treatment of females is abhorrent and the gains they made in education could be threatened.

@sukabi:
I believe there was a court ruling about this. He can’t delete tweets or block followers.

@sukabi, @debbie:
Trump Twitter Archive is a private website. It has no official connection to Trump’s Twitter account. They can do whatever they want (although the missing tweets seem to have been a temporary glitch).

Late to the party, but I had to get this in before I dived too deep:
Hmmm… #filthymouthedwife …
Dunno Donald. I guess I always just *assumed* Melania did oral.
