So he’s STILL not paying attention to the fact that his tweets are the property of the United States of America, and he does NOT have the authority to delete them? Can’t Twitter write an algorithm that imposes a BLOCK on the ability to delete tweets, and apply it to his account? ---

**ThelmaLou** : My favorite part of that quote is “fact-free Tirade”. That’s the best description of the current administration yet. But, hey, facts are not his supporters’ forte. Look at how many of them still buy into the birther nonsense and the “Hanoi Jane gave the North Vietnamese our POW’s social security numbers” BS\*. \*The NVA already fucking had those numbers, morons! You’re supposed to give the holding force your “name, rank, and service number”. ---

This is too funny not to share. From thump’s press conference this morning. A reporter asked him about sharing his tax returns. [Thump replied:](https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2018/11/most-notable-moments-trumps-press-conference/575188/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+TheAtlantic+%28The+Atlantic+-+Master+Feed%29) > [@](#): > > Well, look, as I’ve told you, they’re under audit. They have been for a long time. They’re extremely complex. **People wouldn’t understand them**. They’re done by among the **biggest and best law firms** in the country. Same thing with the accounting firms. The accountants are a **very, very large, powerful firm** from the standpoint of respect, they’re highly respected. **Big firm.** A great law firm, you know it very well. They do these things, they put them in. **But people don’t understand tax returns**. Now I did do a filing of over 100 pages, I believe, which is in the offices. And when people went and saw that filing and they saw the magnitude of it, they were very disappointed, and they saw, you know, the detail. You get far more from that, and I guess we filed that now three times. But you get far more from that than you could ever get from a tax return. But when you are under audit—and I’m on a very continuous audit because **there are so many companies and it is a very big company,** far bigger than you would even understand, but it’s a great company. But it’s big and it’s complex, and **it’s probably feet high**. It is a very complex instrument. And **I think that people wouldn’t understand it** , but if I were finished with the audit, I would have an open mind to it, I would say that. But I don’t want to do it during the audit. And really, no lawyer, even from the other side, they say often—not always, but when you are under audit, you don’t have, you don’t subject it to that. You get it done and then you release it. When that happens, if that happens, I would certainly have an open mind to it. My bolding for my own amusement. ---

At some point the double-think and motivated reasoning keeping his voters from seeing this is going to break down, and what is obvious to any objective observer will become clear to them. They will still deny it loudly. But they will know they are following an emperor with no brain cells. > [@asahi](#): > > He’s worried, but now he’s fighting. He’s on the warpath. It’s on now. You’re right that he’s on the warpath. But he’s also taking on the stink of desperation. He’s flailing. Americans tend not to be drawn to that. ---
