Yeah I didn’t realize I copied the google page rather than the actual page. I think I clicked on the image, and got the link. Not sure, it is now out of my short term memory.As is a lot of my life, these days. ---

👍 That’s exactly what I did-- went to the original link. Useful to know it won’t expand a google link. Example: [https://www.google.com/search?client=firefox-b-1-d&q=apple+pie+recipes](https://www.google.com/search?client=firefox-b-1-d&q=apple+pie+recipes) Eventually we’ll get this ~~bastard~~ puppy 🙂 figured out. ---

It doesn’t but if you click on the link it is just about the most succinct description of the new board I can think of. Don’t like the new site, go to the Giraffe Boards. It was recommended when the old site was offline, and it is a perfectly good board with good people, and I saw a couple of threads that I responded to, got a “Nice first post” compliment but it was 2 days before anyone responded. There are about 7 people active at any one time on that board. Nothing like this forum, which is the greatest internet forum in the history of internet forums. Learn it. Know it. Live it. ---

President Toddler is awake and he’s screaming as loud as he can that nothing is his fault. I mean seriously … read this - a president of the United Stated of America tweeted this: > Nobody briefed or told me, @VP Pence, or Chief of Staff @MarkMeadows about the so-called attacks on our troops in Afghanistan by Russians, as reported through an “anonymous source” by the Fake News @nytimes. Everybody is denying it & there have not been many attacks on us… > > …Nobody’s been tougher on Russia than the Trump Administration. With Corrupt Joe Biden & Obama, Russia had a field day, taking over important parts of Ukraine - Where’s Hunter? Probably just another phony Times hit job, just like their failed Russia Hoax. Who is their “source”? ---

Type or paste text into the composition box, then highlight it (drag cursor), and click the quotation marks. You should see everything in a quote box in the preview window to the right. > BTW, you can enlarge the preview window by dragging up the handle (two 1/4" horizontal lines) in the middle of the bar at the top of the composition/preview panel. I will now put the previous paragraph into a block quote. TA-DA! ---

Just three days ago Trump signed a bail-out bill to help Maine Lobster farmers. Presumably Trump is getting a lot of heat from the industry, and in his usual fashion when presented with bad news, simply gaslights it away. ---

I’m surprised this hasn’t been mentioned yet (or I missed it, but I did check back some). Trump apparently re-tweeted a supporters’ video and [didn’t bother to notice that one of the folks on it was shouting “White Power”](https://www.npr.org/sections/live-updates-protests-for-racial-justice/2020/06/28/884392576/trump-retweets-video-of-apparent-supporter-saying-white-power). It’s gone now, but the Twitterverse and Facebook among others are making sure it is not forgotten… I’m reminded of one of the last lines from the movie “Animal House”, where Otter (Tim Matheson) tricks then sucker-punches Dougie, and as he goes unconscious, Otter sneers “Jeez, you’re dumb.” He’ll probably blame it on one of the other folks who twit on his site… [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/butt-hurt-trump-takes-to-twitter-again-part-1/772428.md?page=447) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/butt-hurt-trump-takes-to-twitter-again-part-1/772428.md?page=449)
