Related: Editorials & Other Articles, Issue Forums, Alliance Forums, Region ForumsI opened Twitter to look at #covfefe tweets and happened upon this.
This is a perfect poem.
THE ELEPHANT IN THE ROOM
The room is
almost all
elephant.
Almost none
of it isn't.
Pretty much
solid elephant.
So there's no
room to talk
about it.
And that's the problem! When word clouds from the primaries for Trump and Clinton were compared, Trump had no really large words. Too much nonsense to focus. Hillary's largest was, of course, "e-mail."
p.s. I couldn't figure out how to make a link to the tweet. It was a re-tweet by Clive Thompson @pomeranian99. Can someone tell me how to capture a tweet link? I kept getting links to Amazon for the book.

(7,520 posts)1. I think if you click the "three dots" link by it
It gives options like "embed tweet" "direct link to tweet".
I think some people actually are screen capturing, but that requires hosting the picture somewhere (or a premium membership to upload maybe?)
I saw directions how to "embed" a tweet so it shows, but it looked very complicated.

Co-incidence?

Just paste the URL in your post and the tweet appears magically, thanks to the wizards at DU.
