General discussion

Congress has been "notified"?

Jan 6, 2020 6:39AM PST

Trump tweet

These Media Posts will serve as notification to the United States Congress that should Iran strike any U.S. person or target, the United States will quickly & fully strike back, & perhaps in a disproportionate manner. Such legal notice is not required, but is given nevertheless!

DJT upgrades "tweets" to be a "legal notice"?

Will people be held to what they tweet?

HOW?....WHERE?

Where will this end?

Will the twitterverse become bigger than the universe?

yet another tweet

From DJT

STOCK MARKET AT ALL-TIME HIGH! HOW ARE YOUR 409K’S DOING?

409 K?

401 K?

9 isn't even close to 1 on the keyboard.

HE makes it difficult to consider HIS tweets as "notifications" UNLESS it is "notifications" of HIS "incompetence"?

Perhaps this was the 409 he had in his head

I see there has been a cleanup in aisle 1600 and HIS post has been edited.

here's a twit with an idea.

"Ian Miles Cheong

@stillgray

Trump deliberately adds typos to his tweets. Gets imbeciles with TDS to notice what’s he’s saying and write about it. 409k is just the latest."

From a BBC piece on the backlash.
What the heck is TDS?

I said it was an idea, and not mine.

It is also possible. I doubt very much that any billionaire would be ignorant of basic investing. Deliberate misleading has been, after all, part of his persona for some time. Ask his wives.

OTOH we're not talking about your garden variety billionaire.

Publishers of reference works often put in deliberate errors- not merely the odd typo- to trap plagiarising publishers. (A photocopy reproduces the error.)

Anyway, not my system.

Kinda' defeats the purpose of him calling his posts "notifications" when they are riddled with deliberate errors.

ALL deliberate errors WILL be bolded, works for me.....I've sent HIM a tweet with my suggestion

Sent Himself a rational suggestion???

I thought I said "I've sent HIM a tweet with my suggestion"

And MY suggestion was that HE bold ALL of his deliberate errors.

OR are you questioning whether HE would accept a rational suggestion?

It's been nice knowing you, Bill.
