Trump's key to success was inheriting a company from a father who knew how to buy politicians during a time of extreme corruption coupled with an unchecked raging personality disorder.

Speaking of Trump, someone mentioned how Season 3 of the Boys had Homelander essentially turn into Trump, heavily borrowing Trump's style and even his words when Homelander held rallies. Partnering with a Nazi was prescient. Today Trump is teasing an announcement tonight that "America needs a Superhero." With imagery of Trump opening his shirt to reveal a superhero costume and lasers shooting out of his eyes. the levels of his mental illness know no bounds.
That major announcement was that he's selling digital trading cards of his "life and career"...for the low low price of $99.

Collect all 600! [they only make 500 but keep buying in hopes of getting a new one!]

Need to probably go ahead and quit it.

Y’all can count on seeing me on here a lot more. And fucks sake I’m going to have to build out a good blogroll again. Man, following sports live isn’t going to be as good. Those are my two favorite things about Twitter, all my news was in one space I got to curate. And there was nothing like Twitter blowing up during an amazing sports event.

Keith Olbermann too.

Square Rob had my sentiments. That thought first went through my mind on the Justin Jefferson catch.

10 seconds would've seemed like a lifetime the first time I had sex without a condom.

Maybe this Sybian needs to be replaced with a new one, as it clearly is not working properly any more.

You must be talking to my wife.

I fast forwarded to the part where Matt joined, listened to his take, and then closed out of it after a few minutes.

I fast forward through 10-12 minute videos from Rational National and Humanist Report (and Vaush) as it is now, no way in fuck do I sit through multiple hours. (However, their mega stream during the election last month was great background noise.)

This isn't a board game playthrough. Sheesh!

As soon as y'all figure out where to go instead, I'm there. I joined Twitter because a bunch of Swampers were joining at that time. Now I'm fucking hooked, so I can't give it up unless and until there's a somewhat comparable alternative.

govmentchedda · Post by **govmentchedda** » Fri Dec 16, 2022 11:49 am

I'm on Post, but there isn't much there.

mister d · Post by **mister d** » Fri Dec 16, 2022 11:56 am

I was wondering this yesterday. There's no single account that could be banned that would completely empty out non-Elon twitter, but which one (due to contributions, affection, etc) would come the closest to being an instant tipping point?

Johnnie · Post by **Johnnie** » Fri Dec 16, 2022 12:03 pm

The Rock? Taylor Swift?

Not sure there's a celeb with enough of a following that's both political AND has an entire legion of fans that would send Elon glitter bomb dicks in the mail if their king/queen got schwacked.

mister d · Post by **mister d** » Fri Dec 16, 2022 12:07 pm

I wasn't really thinking celebrity, more a reporter or just poster on the anti-Elon side where people. Like Dril but not Dril because there's no personal connection there.

Square Rob · Post by **Square Rob** » Fri Dec 16, 2022 12:09 pm

Rex Chapman? He has a huge following, mostly just shares/amplifies heartwarming or funny stuff, but also is very vocally anti-maga. He seems a target to be ousted while being mostly harmless and well liked.

I don't think there will be a tipping point like that unless there's a massive purge of news/commentary accounts. And even then, I don't think people leave en masse until there's a single place for people to go.

This is my pick.

I think Trump was the most likely, and since that didn’t make much of a dent, I don’t think any single person will.

Is he going to ban everyone who voted yes?

And the best response to that:

I don’t care at all about my number of Twitter followers. But weirdly, after Musk took over, I lost about a dozen followers right away. But more recently, I’ve added 20 or 30 new followers. And another weird thing, is that they all seem to be Asian accounts posting in Asian lettering (thus I can’t read their posts) and none of them are followed by anyone I follow. I assume many of them are bots.

Still going on. I’ve added about 70 new ones in the last couple weeks, and almost none of them post in anything but Asian letters, if they post at all.

Apparently in Andrew Tate’s “epic comeback” video to Greta he gave away his location to Romanian police and now he’s been arrested for human trafficking. Might reset the bar for all time own goals if true.
