    OP acknowledged the tweet as being false and made the appropriate edits to acknowledge it.

    There’s no need to continue reporting it.

    Please tag your post as a joke, not real, or similar. If you leave it in its current state [2], you are knowingly peddling disinformation [1].

    Update (2025-03-06T01:45Z): OP has modified the post’s body stating that it’s a fake tweet [3]. Imo, the title should preface that it’s fake [1].

        What? I haven’t deleted, nor reposted anything in this context. Are you sure you aren’t just getting a ping because I @mentioned you in the comment’s references [1]?

      Just a harmless observation here, but I can’t help but notice that liberals spend way too much time de-bunking, but not nearly enough time bunking.

          Good question! I mean, I’m not suggesting that the left should create compelling, motivating, entertaining (but not necessarily “literally” true) content targeting low-information voters in an effort to swamp out fascist garbage. Nor would I imply that the time has come to use every underhanded, dirty, ratfucking trick in the book to make those voters distrust Republicans. Heaven forbid!

          But I will say outright that in my estimation the left’s fastidious, timid, mousy attempts to debunk the tidal wave of fascist bullshit is not working out very well.

              We need more viral leftist shitposting, and less concern about getting every single fact exatly right.

                oh okay thank you!

                yeah actually a lot of my account is focused doing exactly that :) this is reposted, but my original content i try to keep very rhetorically effective—and i also fact check it (unlike this trainwreck lol)

    As much as I admire this, it must be remembered that the Orange Clown does not play by any rules, including those he imposes on others.

      Especially those he would impose on others.

      The hypocrisy is purposeful; it’s a power move.

        Me likes a quick pre-post web search so I can make note of something like that in the post body

    The goal is to make short term bank and leave everyone else in the country, including the country worse off.

    Theyre essentially pumping and dumping america

      Same reason why they’re trying to sell off all the public land and government buildings in order to create a “sovereign wealth fund” full of dubious “investments” like crypto controlled by their cronies. It’s about to be literally the biggest scam ever perpetrated in America.

    Remember Obama and Ebola? Trump said that if one American died from Ebola then Obama should resign. A million dead and he ran again.

      Now we have measles killing kids. At least kids were mostly safe from COVID. And we already have a vaccine for measles so there is no reason for the deaths.

    Yes I know this has been fact checked, but I don’t want to complain about that.

    I want to complain how often we hear “down” or “up” by points or dollars over a very short period of time.

    It should always be talked about in %. Because people who invest the money don’t give a rats ass about the $ or point increase or decrease. They want to know how much they lost or gained.

    Unless you are a broker or market maker, then you care, because it becomes about the volume of trades rather than the actual gain/loss.

      Yeah, and 1000 points in 2012 is 3000 points today. The dow won’t drop 3000 points because they’ll just halt trading.

    There was a time when I loved all the hypocritical call outs for Trump. Now it is just depressing knowing none of it matters. He’s gonna say bullshit and his supporters are going to know it is bullshit and still love it.
