Oh ⁦@Twitter⁩ counting votes is not stealing the election. Just sayin’
Also he needs to stop being mean to the people of Poland.

Now do this, like you said, since you know it’s not done being counted.

As someone who has a lot of relatives who supported Trump and discount justifiably tough stories about him, I got over the shock of how strong his base was a while back. Recently a relative parroted back an interview I did in a completely twisted way that reflected well on Trump.
When I pointed out it was not what was said and tried to correct it SINCE IT WAS MY INTERVIEW, she insisted her version of my work was correct and my version was my “opinion” and wrong. It was mind blowing but totally expected after years of it and there was no convincing her.
Is this a bad person? No. Is it a stupid person? No. Is this a person who cannot differentiate between true and false? No. What she is is someone with a bad information diet, someone tired of feeling like smarter people disrespect her even if she sometimes acts disrespectfully.

The reason he’s doing this is that they have been criminally incompetent. Rather than owning up to it, they’ve decided that Americans — fatigued from the slog — will accept the needless deaths. This is a political calculation that might appeal to more people than their rallies 1/
Remember that they slow rolled on reasonable gun legislation after the horror of Sandy Hook and the many other senseless massacres of the innocent and it worked. Americans love nothing more than what’s next and this will appeal to the base instincts of far too many to move on 2/
Why listen to health care experts who want you to eat your vegetables & make the hard choices to save lives. The most shameful characteristic of Americans is an obsession with individualism to the most selfish degree using love of liberty as the excuse for juvenile behavior 3/

This is deep in my long thread, but let me make this dead clear: Banning TikTok and then oddly enough not allowing a decent solution like an IPO here in the US or being bought by a US company is a THANK YOU gift to Mark Zuckerberg from Donald Trump. Or should I say Spasibo? 🇷🇺
In the interests of competition that lifts us all, Facebook should immediately decry this weird move to disallow a reasonable solution that will allow TikTok to continue to operate safely and securely. But a company that landgrabs and neutralizes probably likes unfair advantage.
Crazy me for wanting capitalism to solve this important issue and assuage users that the Chinese government is not spying on us. What do you think @stevenmnuchin1? Do you like capitalism or is bizarre destruction of value your preference? Is the fix in?

Let’s be clear, just because he says he can do something does not mean he can. And he also cannot decree by fiat whether a US company can or cannot buy something. There is a process here and last time I looked this dude was not a king and this is not like his reality show.
This is a massively dopey distraction. As people are dying in record numbers due to his incompetence, he decides to try to stop the Chinese from collecting info on @sarahcpr and her popularity
That said, there’s a lot of irrational damage Trump can do here since this is hard to litigate & he can throw a lot of crazy law at it related to foreign companies. That said, there’re also those involved who would support a US IPO or sale to a US company. A giant mess as usual.

Two things most important from the hearing were 1. Zuckerberg emails that say what we all knew: They buy or bury rivals by copying and there are the emails saying so. Neutralize and land grab are not the words of innovators.
And when Bezos said, because he correctly surmised he had to: “What I can tell you is we have a policy against using seller-specific data to aid our private label business. But I can’t guarantee you that policy has never been violated.”
You can’t steamroll over startups unfettered and cannot be the market maker and sell fairly into that market. Power does corrupts and absolute power? It destroys is what it actually does and cannot help itself from doing that because that is what it must do.

We are airlifting my mom out If Florida right now and quarantining her with only access to old Walter Cronkite news broadcasts to protect her from the Bag of Rage: New research explores how conservative media misinformation may have intensified coronavirus washingtonpost.com/business/2020/…
Btw, TOLDJA: nytimes.com/2020/03/31/opi…
Btw she argued with me for my ask that she stay alone for a time in a lovely house nearby so I can get her tested before entering our very tight pod. Why, she texted, despite Florida mess. She finally relented when I texted back: So you will not kill me. (I have longtime low WBC)
