Twitter is Vindictive
I am convinced that Twitter, the company, is vindictive. For the second time, I've insulted them--rightfully so--and they've fought back with a vengeance.
What Twitter does is to shut down your account under the guise of security concerns; then, when you try to reestablish your account by saying that "you forgot your password," they ignore your request for a "code" that they say they need in order to get back on.
So, here am I where I am going to stay and tell Twitter to go fuck themselves. That's right, scum buckets, you'll not see my tweets unless you apologize to me and the others you've harmed. I don't need you; only the vain celebrities and pols need you.
I haven't closed my account because for two reasons: first, you need to be logged on to close your account, and, secondly, one would want receive an archive of one's tweets. People like journalists at "Wired" magazine can easily obtain their archive and they urge their readers to do the same. When you tell tell them that Twitter doesn't give out archives unless the requester has earned a blue checkmark next to their name or is a member of the press, that falls on convenient deaf ears--Wired Magazine doesn't give a gnat's ass about their readers.
Anyway, this blog beats the Twitter restrictions even with the double allowance. The only advantage that the asswipes at Twitter have is the immediacy of the venue. When Trumpie or some other politician says something outrageous, you can instantly call them out. Another advantage is the fact that people prefer the pithy tweet or the fancy graphic. I don't blame them but what is total crapola is that, we who do not have a blue checkmark next to our name are ignored over those who do have the mark of the devil: politicians and celebrity CS's of one ilk or another. If you have any interactions after a tweet, you can rest assured that your "followers" were there from the early days and you gave them 'likes' whenever they gave you a like. What malarkey! Either what you said had merit or it didn't; certainly, that's the way I've usually comported myself on Twitter. But Twitter fails again when people you've followed and interacted with in the past, suddenly disappear from your timeline--WTF!.
Another ploy that Twitter uses is to give you a thousand followers at one time which wouldn't be bad except for the fact that they tweet in a foreign language. You see nothing but their tweets and they don't understand your tweets. These fucks at Twitter really do know online guerilla warfare. But you can do their shit if nothing you do is transparent or subject to government oversight. If Facebook goes down, Twitter should be next.
Anyway, on to Trumpie: I caught his "press conference." One of the first things I noticed is that all the "journalists" in the crowd are deathly afraid of falling victim to the "Jim Acosta" curse. When POTUS says, "next," they are quick to hand over the mic to a colleague. God forbid they lose their press pass. Hallie Jackson fought on, though--true daughter of Pennsylvania--yet even she lost the fight. For the others, if you don't fight up to a bully, you will lose no matter what and journalists and reporters lose even more--their self-respect.
Trumpie says that a steel wall is stronger than concrete. Pound for pound that's true but someone with an oxy-acetylene torch can cut through steel in a heartbeat while someone with a jackhammer (necessary for concrete) will have a tough and time-consuming time of it. The former can be carried in a backpack, the latter needs a truck to transport. Those who think we may never need Mexico to escape to should consider the eruption of Yellowstone or the release of a viral agent on the U.S. side of the border--HELLO CANADA!
Btw, it was so refreshing to hear Pence's prepared elocution as opposed to Trumpie's New York mafioso argumentative speech patterns. Trumpie, to his credit, is learning to create better arguments even if still specious. His bullying of journalists, however, is truly sad to see in a U.S. president. If he has a problem with the press, he should call them out on it but he can't because "he's got nuttin' on 'em."
I, on the other hand, do have valid issues with the mainstream press vis-a-vis the poor and downtrodden in the U.S. I can understand how this population may not even follow the press but that's no excuse for the press to ignore us. I refer you to my sweetcakes Brianna Keilar who questioned the "redistribution of wealth" that Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez was promoting by suggesting a 70% tax on the wealthy. No doubt Brianna falls under a tax bracket that might leave her destitute--ha, ha, yea right! The wealth of the uber wealthy MUST be redistributed! The alternative is for the rich of the world to fight their own fucking wars and protect their own ass-ets. If they think our sons and daughters are going out to protect the bucks of the fucks, they're living in a Bloomberg/Romney/Koch/Gates/Buffett/Trumpian delusion.
Erin Burnett was so sexy tonight (1/4/19) but to mention "chug-a-lug" and BJ's in one show was too much even for me. Nah, all kidding aside, I loved Erin's treatment of the Ocasio-Cortez exuberance saying that we were looking at a generational phenomenon--agreed and welcomed by me who often rails against ageism (in the workplace). But one hottie who never loses her mojo for long is E.B.
Just a quick note on Elizabeth Warren's persona. I used to have my suspicions and reservations about the patron saint of consumers but when I saw her bathe a grandchild in the kitchen sink, that's when I realized that this Harvard professor was and probably never will be pretentious! What a refreshing contrast she would make to Trumpie.
