There’s a movement afoot to start reporting Trump’s tweets to Twitter with the goal of getting him blocked for being abusive. Hey, it worked with Milo. ---

That’s stupid. His obnoxious tweets are going to be his downfall. Everything else has to go through too many people and gets vetted. Tweets are what is going to implicate him in something eventually. ---

> [@BobLibDem](#): > > Not to worry, quoth Sarah Huckabee Sanders: Her dad is still a pastor, right? Surely he’ll give her moral guidance and turn her back to the path of Christian goodwill. Sorry … I just … can’t keep this up … HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHHAHAHA! And yes, despite the all-caps, that’s a rueful laugh of sad realization. For so many American Christians, nothing matters anymore, except getting political “wins” and seeing the suffering of both your enemies and those you don’t like for whatever reason. WWJD, indeed? I bet most of these “Christians” hope to God (snerk) that they never find out. ---

Most of what I know about Twitter I learned from this thread, but I do have the app on my phone. I wanted to see the Cheerios picture that Mika posted, so I searched for her on Twitter. Holy moly! The responses are amazing. There are lots of people who think that it is perfectly OK for the POTUS to tweet like this, because Joe and Mika say mean things about Trump, and also think that Republicans ought to be defending him. ---

> [@pulykamell](#): > > As others have said, no, no, no! Let him tweet away. The more he puts publicly in writing, the better, whether we realize it now, or it’s for historians to discuss. I set up an account just to cheer him on. This morning I gave him a hearty cheer and suggested that he tweet about Mika and Joes sex life and Mikas periods. I’m not a social media person, the account only has one follower. But it’s the one I want, the real Donald J Trump ---

> [@Locrian](#): > > Agreed. It’ll be fun to hear him say, “That’s not what I said” over and over again. 😃 I definitely want the public record to be very clear for generations to come, because I sure as shit wouldn’t believe any of this stuff if my parents were telling me it about the presidents they grew up with. I’d assume they were exaggerating or misremembering or something. Hard to argue with a Twitter archive of the president himself’s words. But, then, again, who knows? Maybe this is the first in line of Reality TV presidents and this will be the new normal. I have more faith in my country than that, though. ---

You know, the sad thing is, there are literally hundreds of reality TV people who would still be a better president than trumpster fire. Not that I am endorsing any of them, but why did we end up with the bottom of the barrel? Tim Gunn probably would be a great President! ---

Once the fish and scalloped potatoes had been served, and special sauces delivered directly to Trump were placed on the table, the couple said that the president came up with an idea: If they planned on getting married, they should consider doing so at Mar-a-Lago or the White House, they recalled. “That’s when Jared interrupted and said, ‘Hey, you know what? I’ve got my license. I could marry you,’” Scarborough said. (A White House spokeswoman had no comment.)According to Scarborough, that’s when Trump snapped from the end of the table, saying: “Why would you marry them? They could have the President of the United States marry them.” ---
