#1 This is the beginning of the end of Twitter. The yahoos who use it will migrate to something more trendy. There are a lot of conservative young people out there.

#2 What is going to be funny is if/when trump wins, watching the abject volte face and craven bootlicking of the man they truly despise will almost be worth the mess he is going to make.

#3 Just started looking for Trump's twitter feed and what do I see on the left hand side? Hillary's news feed.

Nope, no bias here!

#4 Confirmed - that tweet at 3:04 PM EDT doesn't show for 4/25/16. Start your own blog, then!

#5 Another reason I have already deleted my account.

Trump should sue these fuckers. Would make for an interesting case.

#6 If Twitter is privately owned the owners can do whatever they want. But when a rival to Twitter starts operating the users can do whatever they want. In the meantime Trump can start campaigning in a more traditional style by buying TV ads. He'll reach a wider audience that way. Can't wait for those ads to start showing up during episodes of The View and Good Morning America.

#7 Should Trump win the Whithouse, bet he tears it down and builds a Presidential highrise.

#12
A Father of the Church,
Censorious and solemn,
Was bothered on his perch
Atop a lofty column.

The tawdry tone of prayer
From his beloved pupils
Provoked an icy stare
To reinforce their scruples,

And when that didn't mend
The manner of their ranting,
He threatened to descend
To rectify their chanting;

Which warning always worked
On all the monks convening
Unless one brother smirked
And dropped a double meaning.

Then sudden silence fell
As still as desert midnight:
"Withdraw within thy cell,"
Intoned the stolid stylite,

And slunk away the monk
On whom his ire was focused,
To hunger in his bunk
Without one roasted locust.

#13 He can sue. He should. Private or not, they can't do that

#14 If Trump moved to MySpace and got his followers they'd become a growing concern overnight. Any tech guys out there with a Facebook or Twitter-like produce ready to go should give him a call pronto.

#15 #6 If it is a privately owned...

Then let's talk about wedding cakes.
