Just saw this in one of our newspapers, The Age, and what an epic way to go out on your last day working for Twitter......by deactivating the Trump's Twitter account

Pity they said it only lasted 11 minutes

 

Follow up story and looks like the person who disabled Trump's Twitter account may be charged with hacking under the CFAA, (Comuter Fraud and Abuse Act)

Imagine the panic at Twitter when they were told the POTUS account wasn't working LOL

 

Brilliant stuff. Saw it when it first appeared and LMFAO:​

Other users on Twitter had plenty of fun with the outage:

External Link: @tcarmody tweet: Let’s hope it was an A/B test and will be rolling out sitewide soon

External Link: @Tahls: Donald Trump deleting then reactivating Twitter is giving me nostalgic memories of signing in and out of MSN to get your crush's attention

External Link: @MikeDrucker: We’ll all remember where we were during the 10 minutes of peace while Donald Trump’s Twitter account was down.

External Link: Ken Jennings tweet: While Trump’s Twitter account was down, I stole every piece of china from the White House China Room.

External Link: @winterjessica: "We have learned that this was done by a Twitter customer support employee who did this on the employee’s last day"

External Link: @chrisurquhart tweet: Plot Twist: The twitter employee’s name was Craig Ovfefe. or C. Ovfefe or COVFEFE

​

 

No accident David according to the article, it was the person's last day working at Twitter and they wanted a to have a memorable departure

 

At twitter, yeah, (LOL) it would have been panic stations given it was the POTUS.

But I reckon there's a constant panic at the WH with POTUS' twitters alone. So there must've been 10min slot of peace when Twitter went down...so it was probably a huge sigh coming from the WH not a gust of wind that coincided with the down time

 

I reckon it was the bystanders that watch his tweets for the lols that reported it down so quickly
Hmmm...... or maybe it was a slow news day and the media was looking for some attention grabbing headlines............just sayin

 

I think Donald T(Rump) should be barred from "Social" Media altogether and have his lips superglued shut. The frontal labotomy joffa alludes to in his Signature might help some too.

 

Amen to that!

Reckon a frontal lobotomy would probably be an improvement...with a gob like trump's, (which he can never keep shut in between his tweets), I doubt the superglue would do the trick

 

LOLZ....he's got such a big mouth you would need a bucket of superglue
Sadly the Trump will always want social media because he likes to play to an audience and on Twitter he can say things that have not been vetted by his political machine
Personally I hope impeachment for him is near but watching from over here it seems there isn't much will over in the US to make him accountable and besides, everything has so much spin, PR and hyperbole that it is hard to sort the true facts from the fiction

Mind you our PM isn't doing much better but at least he doesn't go saying outrageous things on Twitter

 

Not a fan of freedom of speech huh?

 

I like that MacDonald's tweets are always news headlines. That way I don't need a twitter account!

 

...
... and meanwhile lowering the tax rates for the billionaires/companies and the very rich. In short: the middle class will be subsidizing the shortfall in government revenue by paying the higher taxes (to the ones at the top).

Darn... can't explain it better.

 

I don't know about Trump's base, but if the standard deduction for married goes up I'll save money. My mortgage interest + medical bills aren't enough of my income to use. Never have been. Always been wasted options that other people get.

 

Hadn't seen that I will be paying that. And from the article it seems to be the bill is changing so fast it probably won't go anywhere. Right now I think that by the end of the year I'll be about the same place I was last year. Let you know about Feb 8 when my taxes are done.

 

Free speech does not require truth.

Lies have been rampant in politics for many years.

 

Right now, almost 50% of people don't pay any federal income. The top 10% of wage earners pay most of it...

and http://www.cnn.com/2017/09/27/politics/donald-trump-tax-reform-indianapolis/

Enough said!

 

Perfect and the absolute truth!!

 

Yeah!

 

From a commentary section of the news... Nice. Commentary = opinion, not always factually based.

 

And from your link of commentary about taxes:

You do realize, corporations don't pay taxes like citizens do. Taxes are a cost of doing business, which is passed down to consumers. So, if you raise the corproate tax rates, the CEO does not give up his fourth vacation house, the people who buy the product simply pay more.

https://www.forbes.com/sites/timwor...-6-5-good-but-correct-rate-is-0/#5aeb9dcd2469

Forbes, but yes opinion.

 

This is a very common fallacy. Lowering taxes most often results in an increase in tax revenue, the 'paying for a tax reduction' defies economics.

Again, commentary, but by a well published Economist:

Ahh, search for it yourself. The truth is out there....

Sorry, bad editing on my part, this was a response to Oma's post #29.

 

http://www.motherjones.com/politics...er-major-corporations-paid-negative-tax-rate/

"As billionaire investor Warren Buffett likes to point out, he pays a lower annual tax rate on the tens of millions of dollars he earns than does his secretary, who makes $60,000 a year. It’s an illustration, he says, of how the backward and loophole-ridden the US tax system is."

GE, Exxon, 10 Other Major Corporations Paid Negative Tax Rate

Lots more of useful and true information at above link. Above article was written in 2011.

 

Could an Administrator delete Post #34 - I didn't do the corrections in time. Post #35 is the correct one.

Thanks!

Cheers

Couldn't agree more. For a bit of fun, here's an interesting article, which appears to place trump's tweets as being able to predict the future on par with Nostradamus*:

Trumpadamus: how the president's tweets have predicted his own future
https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2017/nov/06/donald-trump-tweets-predictions






* Nostradamus - Wikipedia
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nostradamus

 

trump's tweets really needs a filter (or at least someone reviewing/editing before release) - shown by these (funny) tweets which lose what impact he initially intended:



That’s kind of redundant …

One of Trump’s tweets | Donald J. Trump via Twitter

"Trump’s first order of business after his inauguration was the travel ban, or “Muslim ban.” Yikes. After it was shut down and the U.S. Court of Appeals upheld the block, Trump took to Twitter and said “SEE YOU IN COURT” … to the court. Huh?..."


Coincidence?

One of Donald Trump’s tweets | Donald J. Trump via Twitter

These are the kind of wild conspiracy theories our current president likes to spread. At least Trump eventually found it within himself to “end” claims that Obama is not a native-born citizen, which, according to his version of events, were started by Hillary Clinton.

The real issues

One of Donald Trump’s tweets | Donald J. Trump via Twitter

"It would be nice to have a president with some basic understanding of our Constitution, or at least the First Amendment. Flag-burning is constitutionally-protected free speech... "


Very, very racist

One of Trump’s tweets | Donald J. Trump via Twitter

"There’s not much to say about this one. Not that Trump ever has actual facts to back up his claims, but this is an incredibly racist statement even if you did have reliable stats. When he tweeted this, he was still just a bankrupt business owner and reality TV show host. If only we knew then …"

Sorry losers (is this an apology!?)

One of Donald Trump’s tweets | Donald J. Trump via Twitter

"Like many of Trump’s tweets, this one would sound immature coming from the mouth of a third-grade bully. But Trump is right — he does have one of the highest IQs recorded in human history, and you can tell because he always has the best words. It’s difficult to admit, but at least Trump has the grace and courtesy to apologize for his unquestionable greatness."


This one isn't funny "ha ha"...


One of Donald Trump’s tweets | Donald J. Trump via Twitter

"Given Trump’s history of troubling sexual politics and misogynistic statements (or, as he calls them, “locker room talk”), perhaps it’s not surprising that he assumes that men and women working within the same organization automatically leads to rape.

In a single tweet, he neglects to sympathize with the victims while placing the blame on these governmental “geniuses” that integrated the military, rather than the men actually assaulting their fellow service-members."
