The USSS let her in because when they asked Mar-a-Lago security they said "Yeah, we have a member with that last name, must be a relative".

"Hi, I'm John Smith here for a round of golf at Mar-a-Lago."

There is no golf course on the property, so 50-50 that will work.

They do need to investigate the oranges of the investigation

#botxit #exbotit? can’t figure out a good brexit pun for the bot this sucks.

Grunge the last hundred posts but I find it utterly hilarious that in a thread littered with bad faith awful posters that the consensus worst poster ITT is literally the president of the United States

Look at the oranges of it.

Keep the bot. 2/3 of Trump's tweets would be posted here, anyway.

Yeah I see no reason to get rid of the bot. It's not like there's earth-shaking stuff going on every day, so the bot tosses us some softballs to knock around. I could do without the knee jerk "**** off" responses that don't contribute much, otherwise I think it's fine.

bot fan here too, honesty it’s 95% of the entertainment itt..

The bot is merely exacerbating the fact that the trump presidency is succeeding in destroying our discourse. There’s hardly even anything substantive to talk about anymore—should we really dissect how idiotic it would be to close the border? How much of an incompetent corrupt circus the whole administration is? None of this crap moves the needle anymore. This thread has run its course, but we can’t close it. Ever. It has subsumed reasonable discussion on actual issues not just in this forum but everywhere.

Leave the stupid bot imo. We might as well keep our eyes open as the house burns down.

Another day, another Trump official being nakedly racist and subversive of the Constitution on Fox News:

“It looks like Congress is not going to act because one party has a vested interest in changing the population and the other party is, in effect, controlled by people who want illegal immigration,” Carlson asserted. “So would there be a downside for the president to act unilaterally on that question or, for example, birthright citizenship? Would you be willing to draft an executive order eliminating birthright citizenship?”

The Homeland Security chief responded that Trump has been clear that it is “all on the table” and he’s serious about shutting down the border.

“Yes, everything is on the table,” she reiterated.

fwiw, changing the thread the bot posts in is exceptionally easy, so I'm fine w/ whatever majority wants (which seems to be keeping the bot here, but I think having its own thread would be fine too).

There is no bottom for these people.

Security clearance whistle-blower has dwarfism, so her boss, Carl Kline, retaliated by putting files where she literally could not reach them

I mean Trump is pretty much trying to govern through twitter, so keeping the bot seems legit to me.

sigh media, Trump clearly didn't say that he personally thought wind turbine noise causes cancer. Was more of a mock, "can you believe they said this" though who the hell knows how his brain got to there.

No way he shuts down the boarder the economy is the only thing keeping his presidency afloat.


+1 for the bot.

It’s exactly this

I feel like Alex in ACO

I can't remember the title but I read a scifi novel where the new fangled SST crew were inexplicably dying of cancer and it turned out to be caused by sound beyond the range of human hearing. Ofc Trump must have gotten the idea somewhere else since I know he hasn't read any books.

Keep the bot please.

I think the bot is fine. I like that the tweets show up in a thread I'm always lurking anyways and I don't have to actually follow Trump on twitter or visit his twitter page to see his dumb tweets.

There are already like four trump threads on the first page. I don’t get what splitting out the bot accomplishes. I am still waiting with bated breath on the hot trump discourse we have been missing out on due to the bot and responses to the bot.

For me when the bot came it was eye opening. I saw a lot of Trump’s tweets but the bot made me realize it was only a small fraction of his output. This is a thread about Donald trump in total. Makes sense for the tweets to be here.

How would this not be the end (it won’t but it should be). The upside is after the coup trump goes to Sweden.

+1. I'd personally prefer just the written tweets and not all the press release type propaganda videos but bot is better than no bot imo.

It seems like since the rules changes, posters who used to get off by dunking on the idiot conservative posters have just switched to doing it to the bot instead. I get for some people it's catharsis or something but it's doesnt really add much to the conversation (which i realize is ironic coming from a lurker).
