    Urgh, articles about tweets.

    “So think of it: They get me to that position, and then their campaign says, ‘I’m the prosecutor, and he is the convicted felon.’ That’s their campaign,” Trump said. “I don’t think people are going to buy it.”

    “We approve this message”

    That’s it. Don’t reward a newssite for this shit.

      I’d rather more people rewarded the news site for it then rewarding twitter by going there directly

      Eh, it was pretty funny though. And it’s a complete character change from Biden’s campaign.

          They didn’t seem too successful in the news cycle. I still think it would be worth a try if Harris only referred to Trump as “the convicted pedophile”. Like, 1-up the orange Mussolini at his own stupid tactics.

            I still think it would be worth a try if Harris only referred to Trump as “the convicted pedophile”.

            He hasn’t been convicted of being a pedophile yet. Best we can do without walking the line as regards defamation is something like “convicted felon, found liable for rape, GOOD FRIEND of Epstein who is currently fighting for your vote because it’s the only real chance he has to escape the law and he knows it.”

              But he’s convicted and a pedophile, why do we have to do it by the book if he wins by making up whatever he wants, was my point.

      her clip is pretty good though:

      Trump: And then their campaign says I’m the prosecutor, and he is the convicted felon-[CUT] Harris; “I am Kamala Harris and I approve this message”

      it’s a nice truncation.

      Unfortunately tweets by famous people are news, whether we like it or not. At least this way I don’t give Elon a page view.
