    This should be a hard rule. I'm sure I'm not the only one who tries to read a page full of tweets and the damn thing loads a second time, causing me to lose my place.

    I'm pretty sure in Trump's mind, those people are worshipping him.

    How it started: "The missiles are flying, hallelujah, hallelujah!"

    How it's going: "No hope for Stilson."

    I can click directly on the NYTimes article - you can't? I get that this is partly about asking him to follow his own rules - just curious what is wrong there.

    You can click the link since the twit opens/loads for you. If not, not.

    For me, this is what I get:

    upload_2026-3-10_8-35-58.png

    But there is an issue with the Xwitter API that causes Xweets to not always load. And keep in mind that I have Xwitter open in another tab, and I'm logged in.

    Beyond that, there has been mod statements to tell posters of Xweets what is in the Xweet. I go above and beyond and don't expect others to do what I do, but I do let others know what is in the Xweet.

    I miffed, though, at your questioning the request.

    Sorry you are miffed but I thought "just curious" was clear. Thank you for answering.

    Your phrasing - the entire statement - came across as loaded. IOW -"I can see it, what's the problem?"

    edit - I have also previously made the request to dave, and explained the exact same thing I did to you, to him.

    I mean, isn't that exactly what this is? (Aside from Trump knowing their shoe size - he doesn't care what their shoe size is, he just makes sure they get the wrong size.) It's a domination move. If they don't wear the shoes in his presence, he says "hey, why aren't you wearing the shoes I gave you?" and if they have the stones - very minimal stones at that - to say "they didn't fit", he knows they're not fully subservient to him

    Part of the reason I’m miffed…actually, the only reason…is that I could have just made a post sharing the information. But I thought folks would prefer a link, to verify, and since the gift link was in a tweet, that’s why I posted the tweet. It was solely to make sure I wasn’t just asking yall to trust me.

    You occasionally say, "I report, you decide." Here, you weren't. You were saying, essentially, "Here's a link" and assuming everybody is reading the same thing you are. This is despite a long, long discussion about Xweets not loading and the specific example I have given you, previously, of blocking Xweets on websites. And elsewhere, I also don't get embedded Instagram posts as well. And, to be clear, I'm not having an issue with the posting a Xweet outside of the Xweet thread.

    Look, I understand that you don't value privacy or ads or cookies or such the same as others. But as a community, several of us do to varying degrees, and I suspect there are several that have apps or programs that block things like Xwitter embeds (and in the case of Xwitter, they still don't always load). I post Xweets the way I do because I respect other posters having those positions. And some of them might have those positions for safety reasons.

    I go from sadness embarrassment to anger to rage…in no particular order…every time I think about the fact that I live in a country that elected this piece of shit not once…but twice. And yes…I caught it. This time I started with embarrassment…then anger then rage.

    No, let me clarify. First, I don't think any of the true nutso believers are close enough to the center of power to convince anyone to use nukes to hasten the rapture.

    Mango doesn't believe or does so only to the extent it furthers his grift. So the minute any rapture wackos started threatening the grift by advocating nukes that would crater a bunch of economies (to put it mildy), Mango will jettison them so fast their heads will spin, and he doesn't believe he's offending or going against God's will by doing so, because it's a bunch of crap to him.

    Listening to Longwell talk to Tim Miller today, and this is more or less what she was saying. Trump won't use nukes because the crazies are too far from him, and that he won't help him in any way, grift or otherwise.

    So the war over now or are we still in the "complete pretty much" phase?

    In other news, MAGA candidates went 4-0 last night in the party of "we're all free-thinkers and the media doesn't need to tell us who to vote for because we're absolutely not a cult."
    If they're all free-thinkers, wouldn't some members of the MAGA party have lost? As the saying goes I'm old enough to remember when" the Republican party had different factions. Heck, there actually *was* a Republican party.
