(1) Thread: Declass day, May 23, 2019

Historic.

So I'm taking screenshots of Twitter's pre-approved trends list as we go.

Here's the baseline data at 8.46pm Eastern.

>Orders truck to deliver popcorn🍿
>Cracks open first bottle🍾

🇺🇸

(2) Still no change 30 minutes later. Hey if you see anything interesting in the list while I'm away from keyboard, do screen shot it for me.

I don't think this news story is going to feature very much on the list for a while.

Lulz.

(3) The Twitter team that massages it's top ten trending topics list is still hoping no one notices that 5/23/19 was Declass day.

Screenshot at 12.04 am, 5/24/19.

Fun fact: AG Bill Barr got the best ever birthday present on Wednesday, 😁

(5) Make that Thursday not Wednesday. Sorry, sometimes I suck at keeping up with what day it is given our timezone differences.

Here's the tweet about the great US AG's birthday:

(6) Nothing in relation to declass has been allowed into this top ten list in nearly 12 hours.

Screenshot time: 7.43am Eastern,Friday.

(7) Update: As at 20 hours after the declass announcement on Thursday, I have not seen any related topic permitted to trend on Twitter's US top 10 list.

If I do see it, I will let you know.

Memorial Day Weekend: A time to pause & reflect on those who died for our freedom.

(8) First signs of Twitter allowing anything in relation to declass to trend:

"Gorka" is trending.

So I went looking to see why. This video message of his includes nothing that is not already a proven, publicly known fact.

>Shrugs

(9) It took our adversaries a full 23 hours to take the bait and start talking about declass - but of course most of them don't realize they're doing that. They think they're just attacking private citizen Seb Gorka for expressing his opinions.

(10) Reading the totally unaware tweets by the other side is damn entertaining.

Don't feel sorry for them. Spend your empathy on people who deserve it, like those directly adversely affected by the crimes committed on Obama's watch.

(11) The 4am Talking Points, guiding the fans toward the approved narrative.

I'll update you again when I see the next declass-related trending topic.

For now, enjoy the schadenfreude and go easy on the popcorn. It's full of carbs.

(12) In less than an hour, the Twitter team has realized it doesn't really want "Gorka" to trend after all.

This is just too funny. 🍾

(13) It's Day 3 after #declass was announced, and there's still virtually no sign that Twitter wants the anti-Trump world to ponder what that means.😁

Rep Liz Cheney was on ABC and mentioned #spygate, so she's drawing the usual ire.

Preet Bharara pleads ignorance:

🤣

(14) It's Day 6 after #declass & amid the hyperventilated cries to Inpeach! Trump Now, none of them have noticed the significance of declassifying any & all info needed to expose & prosecute the criminals.

So I'll wrap up this thread and wait for the next big thing.
