Tweeter, Talker, Debate Stalker

[bucolic_frolic]

I have DJT blocked on Twitter, but this one popped up. I think it's more marketing ploy than anything. Don't collect your thoughts, just blast away.

Link to tweet

Donald J. Trump
@realDonaldTrump
I will be live tweeting during the debate tonight.

[soothsayer]

1. Ha how's he going to do that

[TheBlackAdder]

12. Sound like an excuse to cheat and receive answers, suggestions and tips.

[csziggy]

2. Maybe it will keep him from interrupting Joe Biden?

I suspect his staff came up with this idea to act as Dolt45's pacifier. It might keep Dolt's head from exploding, though I would be disappointed if it did.

8. Good point

Something to keep him occupied while Joe talks. Still, that is really weird.

[csziggy]

9. Yeah, normally during a debate a person listens to their opponent's statements

So they form a rebuttal. Of course, you know that Dolt45 is incapable of listening and probably does not know what a rebuttal is, much less be capable of forming one.

[PatSeg]

10. Yes

He just wants to filibuster. The only time he actually listens is when someone is talking about him. He probably won't even pay attention to the topics or the questions. He will try to turn it into another campaign event.

[csziggy]

13. His followers will see it as a campaign event no matter how disasterous it is

They will think he was great and that Biden screwed up. Reality has nothing to do with their view of things.

[PatSeg]

15. Sadly, that is true

They will see exactly what they want to see.

3. Huh? Really?

So, when they mute him, he’s going to pull out his phone and start tweeting?

That’s going to look really Presidential!

And it’s stupid too. No time to carefully edit. If he does this (and I don’t believe that he will), he’s bound to put his foot in his mouth ... bigly.

5. I expect they'll prepare pre-packaged tweets for him

and they will appear none too relevant. Also expect attacks on Biden: Hunter's laptop, taxes, courts. Throw in a few "Sleepy Joes" and Trump will think he's flying.

4. Oh Boy,

time to re do the bingo card.

This will be epic. Bwahahahahahahahahhahaha!

[Tommy_Carcetti]

6. The date threw me off. nt

[Cuthbert Allgood]

7. So they get to have a phone hooked up to the internet for the debate?

That doesn't seem likely.

[bucolic_frolic]

11. Would be a hole in the rules

Maybe it'll be theatrical. He's keying furiously but an accomplice is actually tweeting.

I just don't know why you wouldn't listen to the opposition and form your thoughts instead of tweeting. But take heart: Trump will be multi-tasking!

[SoonerPride]

16. it was a tweet from 2012

[bucolic_frolic]

21. 2012? I'm almost certain it said 2020 this morning. Seriously.

[SoonerPride]

22. That is whackadoodle but not out of character for 2020

I am sure you are right.

But the tweet that’s posted above says 2012 🤷🏻‍♂️

[bucolic_frolic]

24. Well I haven't changed the link.

I did look at it twice. Originally I don't think there was a 10:35am time stamp on it.

Also it popped as part of another tweet by a mainstream tweeter who put a sarcastic spin on it, something like "this ought to be good." So he believed it too.

14. Anyone else hear the Steve Miller Band reading this thread title?

I'm a Tweeter, I'm a Talker, I'm a deeebate stalker, grab my porn stars in the daaark.

[0rganism]

17. yep

initially i thought it was intentional by the OP, but on reading the thread i'm not sure

[bucolic_frolic]

19. Oh, no, it was not intentional, you're asking me about music

you've hit a black hole. I recall a few phrases here or there of this or that, but I don't listen to music period. Growing up my house was at war with different types of music. I never got to listen to anything I liked. So it's a matter of discord to me.

No the 'Tweeter, Talker ...' is a takeoff on 'Tinker, Tailor ...'

[0rganism]

23. lol i really thought you were going to have a song parody queued up

your takeoff fits the Steve Miller Band "The Joker" song like a glove

[bucolic_frolic]

25. Hey, I do recognize that song, but if you asked me the performer

I'd have no idea.

18. "Hold it Kristen, I'm busy tweeting to my followers"!

[lagomorph777]

20. Sung to the tune of "Space Cowboy?"
