Trump re-tweets Fallwell Jr. demand of adding 2 years to his 1st term as "reparations" for Mueller

NO, I'm not posting the tweet.

NO, I'm not posting "Republican Talking Points."

I'm posting the fact that Trump thinks this is a good idea, and he re-tweeted it.

It's at the top of Trump's Twitter feed for anyone who wants to see it.

Should include some sampling of the responses. At least 40% if not half are ripping him apart both in short responses and tearing down his nonsense.

And no, I am not interfering with forum moderation.

I had to appeal both times (the posts were hidden), and both posts were restored.

I really, really, really do not enjoy being alerted on.

And no, I am not interfering with forum moderation.

I'm explaining to you why I didn't post the tweet.

For example, the "2 years of my term were ‘stollen’" tweet is reported by Politico but no longer visible. An unhinged tweet about the Kentucky Derby was also deleted.

...But it's also pretty darn curious that Falwell Jr. recently admitted in court that he paid $1.8 million to a pool attendant at Miami Beach's Fontainebleau resort who had befriended the Falwell family...

...BuzzFeed News has previously reported that the real-estate transaction also had some odd potential ties to Michael Cohen, Trump's former "fixer" who was recently sentenced to three years in prison for illegally paying two porn stars to keep quiet about having sex with Trump...

Owning the Libs drives a lot of what the right does. They are internally positive that's libs will overreact

It's clearly intended to get a rise out of those of us on the left. As you noted, that's the primary motivation for much of what the right does, particularly Trump.

Besides, Trump hates to be mocked.

Get a bunch of reporters out there, broadcast the whole thing "Obama returns to WH for 8 more years as reparations for unfair treatment by Rethuglicans".

That would own the right.

What used to be "whackadoodle bullshit" is now presented as "executive programs!"

There is NOTHING normal about IQ45 other than the fact that too many people are beginning to consider him to be "normal!"

and completely off the wall. The Trumpers have just gone round the bend into Duterteland.

Nancy Pelosi raised the concern that Trump will not stand down if he is voted out of office in 2020. I'm afraid she may be right.
