Respect. I like the idea and if it sucks no biggy we can just get rid of it. Hope you had fun/learned stuff while making it.

I wrote in Go and it's running as a standalone task on AWS Lambda every minute. There's a few parts to it:
- download a text file I put in a S3 (AWS file storage) bucket that just has the ID of the last tweet it knows about
- ask Twitter if Trump has any tweets newer than that one
- if so, post the oldest one (in case there's more than 1), update the "last known ID" in S3

There's a little more to the "post it" part (had to write code to log in to the forum, save the related cookies/security tokens to S3 for future re-use) but that's basically it. Thanks to well named who gave me some good advice in the Programming forum.

Yeah, had never used AWS/lambda before, was cool to learn the basics of it.

Should take over the DominicsPony account and have it repost the tweets a week later.

Imagine being such a psychopath you think the only reason for outrage about children is because of politics.

I’m sure Putin is salivating reading a tweet like that. I miss when the GOP was only evil, not evil and insane

Peter Fonda is the Lefty James Woods

Quote:

First lady Melania Trump’s office contacted the Secret Service after actor Peter Fonda went after her 12-year-old son during an early morning Twitter rant on Wednesday.

Stephanie Grisham, the first lady’s communications director, said in a statement to The Hill that the Secret Service was notified on Wednesday after Fonda tweeted about Barron Trump.

“The tweet is sick and irresponsible,” Grisham said.

The Daily Caller first reported the development.

ADVERTISEMENT
Fonda called for the 12-year-old son of the first lady and President Trump to be ripped from Melania's arms and “put in a cage with pedophiles.”

"WE SHOULD RIP BARRON TRUMP FROM HIS MOTHER’S ARMS AND PUT HIM IN A CAGE WITH PEDOPHILES AND SEE IF MOTHER WILL WILL STAND UP AGAINST THE GIANT ******* SHE IS MARRIED TO. 90 MILLION PEOPLE IN THE STREETS ON THE SAME WEEKEND IN THE COUNTRY. F---," he wrote on Twitter.

The tweet has since been deleted, and the actor apologized in a statement.

Tucker is like the guy who took my bike in 5th grade, teasing me and taunting me and such. I told him I'd kick his ass if he didn't give it back. He continued to ride around and mock me, until I eventually caught him. He tried to pull the "just a joke" crap on me. He didn't think it was a joke when I kicked his ass until he cried.

The look on Hannitys face after Geraldo said that is priceless

I think even more revealing is the part starting at around 2:00 where Geraldo is starting to say that Trump could fix the problem immediately himself; Hannity sees where he's going and ends it quickly with an uh-oh, "Let me go to Chris." It's a reflex with him. Probably the most prominent example was him panic-cutting to a car chase a while back right after receiving some news running counter to whatever diarrhea bloviation jag he was on at the time.
