Trump grounded from Twitter

[I_am_not_mafia]

I'm wondering how they managed to take away Trump's twitter account. But then if Samantha Bee is correct and Trump really is illiterate, then he's probably always had someone to type the tweet for him. He probably never even knew the password. And further googling shows that he has only recently started using computers and never sends emails.

Trump seems to be dissolving into a puddle of piss.

Donald J. Trump is not sleeping much these days.

Aboard his gold-plated jumbo jet, the Republican nominee does not like to rest or be alone with his thoughts, insisting that aides stay up and keep talking to him. He prefers the soothing, whispery voice of his son-in-law.

In the final days of the presidential campaign, Mr. Trump’s candidacy is a jarring split screen: the choreographed show of calm and confidence orchestrated by his staff, and the neediness and vulnerability of a once-boastful candidate now uncertain of victory.
On the surface, there is the semblance of stability that is robbing Hillary Clinton of her most potent weapon: Mr. Trump’s self-sabotaging eruptions, which have repeatedly undermined his candidacy. Underneath that veneer, turbulence still reigns, making it difficult for him to overcome all of the obstacles blocking his path to the White House.
The contrasts pervade his campaign. Aides to Mr. Trump have finally wrested away the Twitter account that he used to colorfully — and often counterproductively — savage his rivals. But offline, Mr. Trump still privately muses about all the ways he will punish his enemies after Election Day, including a threat to fund a “super PAC” with vengeance as its core mission.

He really thinks he is going to be El Jefe of a Banana Republic!

What he thinks is my worst nightmare.

Doesn't matter.  He was one of those jerks who didn't vote.

They are as insignificant as the people who vote Green or Libertarian.

Carlin voted from the stage ... against all of 'em.

Three thoughts 

1. It's a little late for them to be reigning him in now

2. Was anyone else envisioning his staff sitting him down like a 14 year old girl then  taking his phone away then telling him he can have it back after the election when they heard this (i know it's weird)

3.Dose anyone think he's at this moment desperately trying to figure out the new password because hes gone at least 24 hours with having his ass kissed by the hoard of Alt right mouth breathers that inhabit his twitter account

What got Trump through the primary is killing him in the general. Ironic.

I knew it would.  He had to act like a big shot and keep putting down his fellow Repub candidates by calling names, etc. in order to appeal to the extreme right wing of the party.  But I knew that when he got into a one-on-one debate with Hillary and went head-to-head with her on the campaign trail, he was going to have to actually start acting presidential and have an actual plan for the country, but he never did.  And then Hillary baited him in the debates and he took it and ran with it, making a jackass out of himself.

Of course, that's the main problem any Republican running for president has had lately and will have in the future, namely how to appeal to the crazy, racist alt-right but try to appeal to everyone else in the general election.  Nobody's been very successful at that lately.

I don't think they set a password on his twitter account.  My understanding is that someone did an analysis some time ago, and found that the angry 3am ranty type stuff always came from an android device, where-as the more on point tweets always came from an IoS.  Trump has been know to use Android, and is on record abot how much he hates Apple products, so there this analyst drew a conclusion.  But the conclusion is based on an assumption (one with pretty sound reasoning, to be fair).

The "took away his twitter" rumor is based on the FACT that nothing has been tweeted from his android device for about a week now, only from IoS.

Here is the analysis of how people determined he uses Android and his staff uses IoS:

Angrier Tweets come from Android

There is quite a bit more analysis to it than that single fact, so it's worth a read.

They'd damn well better let him has his twitter account back after the polls have all closed. I wouldn't miss that man-baby meltdown for the world!

lol, Cross, I was just thinking of starting another Trump thread tomorrow, on that topic.

lol, Cross, I was just thinking of starting another Trump thread tomorrow, on that topic.

I'm sure he'll provide more than enough material to keep that thread alive through the holidays.

I look forward to it almost as much as I look forward to not having to see Corey Lewandowski on CNN every day. He can crawl back into whatever hole he emerged from and resume indulging his fond memories of the good old days at Hitler Youth Camp. The son of a bitch even looks like a Brown Shirt. Meanwhile, Trump, Roger Ailes, and the Breitbart asshole can start their alt-Right cable channel, continue hoodwinking the rubes, and grab as much pussy as they can hire. Fuck 'em all.
