How is this even possible ?!!

And the OP still has missed a few things LOL

From: "I Smoked The RNC" @blackknight10k

Trump is handing over $90M bonds in a rape/defamation case as witnesses are going public about him committing espionage as his cabinet officials are publicizing his love of Hitler as he's bankrupting the RNC as he's two weeks away from going on trial for trying to cheat in the 2016 election and also has to come up with nearly half a billion dollars on the same day as his trial as he's being sued by his business partners in his social media company as Scotland is suing him for fraud as he's meeting with foreign authoritarians at Mar-a-Lago where he was keeping the classified documents that he was caught on camera moving onto a plane while his lawyers were meeting with the FBI before he flew the documents to NJ where he buried his wife on the golf course

How is this even possible ?!!

about the things that have happened or are happening now...

It would only have been produced as a dark comedy of the absurd. Doctor Strangelove meets Olympus Has Fallen.

2. x.com links do not display on DU, you have to click and then copy the resultant twitter.com url

Like this: (and do not forget to url trim (ie remove the '?' and all after it) as all that extra url, again due to DU software, will show up in your post if you do not trim it off)





Cheers

I have my ad blocker turned off for DU, but normally it blocks twitter.com. Every time I open a DU post and there's a tweet, that's an impression in Musk's pocket. I don't want to put anything in Musk's pocket except maybe one of those psychedelic frogs. Or a rabid badger.

It's better NOT to actually render the tweet. It's better to just extract the contents and re-present it here.

12. No, if you do not want to click, then people should just take a snapshot and post it.

By posting x.com non DU-displaying links, you almost guarantee clicks on the link, thus defeating your expressed purpose.

Also:

Impressions do not measure the number of times your Tweet may have been screenshotted and embedded in other content. It also doesn’t count if someone views a text preview of your Tweet or if they see your Tweet on a third-party platform.

while delivering incoherent speeches that promise to sell out our allies who are panicking about his return to power for that reason and the fact that he may turn over intelligence on them to Russia or China who would love to have a president who won't lift a finger to defend Taiwan and therefor it's not unrealistic to believe the Chinese are looking to undermine the presidency of of his opponent, the incumbent.

Boy that's exhausting.

But then, I'm one of those who are absolutely convinced he buried a bunch of them in the casket on the golf course.
