Cont: The Trump Presidency 11: Insert something funny

[acbytesla]

Subpoenas are going to start for discovery for an emoluments trial.

That's going to be so much fun for Trump.

If you put something in your Tweet that looks like a URL, Twitter assumes it is a URL. As for the HTML, Twitter automatically converts the content of your tweet into the HTML necessary to display that tweet within a browser.

Got it.

So as to the substance of that tweet - he thinks someone should be "supervising" Mueller? Who does he think that would be?

Granted, the other Former Presidents were not at today's ceremony, either. I do hope they take the opportunity to talk as a group privately to the current one.

I'm still wondering if he's going to try to weasel out of attending the service, though. What excuse could he use? Severe intestinal distress? Heart issues?

Traffic.

Rudy Giuliani, a former prosecutor, apparently believes the subject(s) of a criminal investigation should supervise the investigation.

As I wrote earlier, some people are amazingly stupid. You can, for example, find people who agree with Giuliani on this point.

Traffic.

This forum does it too. Type www .google.com and it'll link it: www.google.com, because it sees the www. and assumes it's a url. But since www. is becoming less common these days, Twitter just jumped the gun by assuming any valid tld (.com, .in, .etc) is probably a link.

No jump the gun. It's a necessity. 140 char limit makes long addresses prohibitive. That's why tiny URLs started cropping up.

This is, of course, the same Rudy who thought in 2008 that merely declaring his candidacy for President in 2008 would result in is being declared President by acclamation. There is simply no other explanation for his non-campaign.

Darn, ninja'd.

Has the Giuliani Tweet link mistake been posted yet?

https://twitter.com/RudyGiuliani/status/1068570837459050496

He put a period after G-20 and someone made a quick link of it.

Reminds me of the Santorum definition.

It has been posted and Giuliani still has not fixed his tweet. Anyone clicking will go to the "treason" posting.

Anything for clicks I guess - he must know by now what will happen if people click on it.

Or maybe he knows something the rest of us don't ... yet.

 

[Minoosh]

And I learned something new. Since Rudy often omits spaces after periods the Internet should be looking for .uk (not likely) or some other country. I'm not very informed about what possible links could arise in normal tweeting. Someone ought to be on the lookout for those, though. What are some other configurations that might arise?

 

[Minoosh]

Redundate

I just watched the 2016 White House Correspondents' Dinner again. What a class act Obama was and is. When I think of the ignorant, humorless, nasty, narcissistic, pathological liar that inhabits the Oval Office now, I just cringe. No wonder Trump hates Obama; he compares so poorly and he knows it. Give the Dinner a watch again to see how a true POTUS acts.

Gina Haspel will brief the Senate on Khashoggi murder, after bipartisan protests of her exclusion last week

Twitter will let you put in a url that will make a tweet exceed the usual character limit.

 

[P.J. Denyer]

Hahaha. That's awesome. It appears the domain name was purchased by Pixel Riot, a web design firm out of Georgia. Well played, folks.

Genuinely Laughed Out Loud.

 

[Squeegee Beckenheim]

This is a lot of fun: a close-up on each world leader as they realise Trump has signed the new NAFTA agreement in the wrong place

America is so respected. MAGA!

 

[P.J. Denyer]

But maybe the rain isn't really to blame?

They've removed the cause, but not...




... the Traitor!

Looking forward to being with the Bush Family to pay my respects to President George H.W. Bush.

Even when he reigns in the narcissistic crazy there's still something slightly off-key, as if you're dealing with someone who's only knowledge of human interaction comes second hand. Adding an "I'm", "We're" or "Melania and I are" to the beginning would have made it sound less like he was waiting for a high five at the end and shown that he cared enough to write a complete sentence, but 'looking forward' to attending a funeral is massively tone deaf at best.
