I decided to get the truth……actually, I decided I have I lot of free time today. I also have a picture of a big dog that sort of looks like Trump taking a dump. So I was thinking it would be fun to see how many times I could post that photo to TRUTH SOCIAL before they nuked my account. So I downloaded the app. So far so good. Then I entered my standard throwaway e-mail. I see a red box that says “OOPS, SOMETHING WENT WRONG”. I know that, it happened about six years ago. But, after entering the email address a half dozen more times, I’m finally allowed to enter my date of birth. “OOPS, SOMETHING WENT WRONG”. Of course. So after entering several random dates starting with 19 ( as an old lady, it made me feel VERY old when I realized that now the liquor store clerk can just check the first digit of the DOB). After a couple of dozen more tries, I finally got a message that as soon as I clicked the link in the confirmation e-mail, I would be able to receive THE TRUTH. And here I am, with time on my hands and an unposted photo of a dog crapping. Because, of course I didn’t get a link, even though I told them to resend it. And now I can’t get past step one. I’m picturing Devin Nunes sitting in front of some 1995 AOL browsers, manually e-mailing confirmation links and watching the hourglass spin. Oh well, it looks like I’ll have to find something else to do today. ---

I still haven’t gotten in yet, I can’t get a confirmation e-mail. Other users, who have better luck than me, actually got put on a “waiting list”. They get a message that says \*Your account has been created successfully. Thank you for joining. Due to massive demand, we have placed you on our waitlist. We love you, and you’re not just a number to us. But your waitlist number is below. **150,645** \* It’s freaking hysterical. ---

I cannot believe all the “donations” are going to the Republiquan Party Senatorial election fund. Agent Orange has his hand out with some sort of a deal to dip into/steal those funds. I guess we’ll find out the правда in two weeks. ---
