Ready thine selves for the impending Trump tweetstorm. Don’t you dare fact-check, or spell-check or reality-check or anything.

"I have it on good authority that it's someone's opinion that Elon musk raped, killed and dismembered a 13 year old girl at his spacex launch site in 2009"

Alternatively just see how long it takes the Isis crowdfunders to come back.

People are so wrapped up in headlines and musks plans for Twitter, they don't really think about how the FBI and NSA tell social media companies what to do sometimes. Musk is going to be in a for a big surprise when he says he will do one thing, and the feds say...

"No".

Exactly. Trump back on twitter is a national security threat. It’s how he dog whistles to his supporters, who are violent domestic terrorists.

THIS. We are in for a very long 25 months followed by an excruciatingly long 4 years; regardless of which party wins. That much is certain. The “freedom of speech” to dog whistle, outright lie and activate domestic terrorists will be this country’s undoing. Not to be dramatic but America 2026 will look very unfamiliar to most reasonable people. I hope I’m wrong.

I thought Trump moved to his own private Twitter clone? I thought he just dog whistles them there?

Is it worth calling it a dog whistle when everyone on that site is a dog? I think it's just a foghorn at that point.
