Discussion: Twitter Blocked From Trump Tech Meeting Over A #CrookedHIllary Emoji

Absolutely. His projection is near flawless. It may actually be flawless but it’s a bit hard to tell.

“You guy’s focus is on who wasn’t there. That is petty and ridiculous.” and MSNBCs response…crickets…nothing…

Why would Bill Gates know how to close parts of the internet? Scientists, along with Gore, invented the internet. Windows icons were stolen from Xerox. They stole excel from some guy.

I have new respect for Twitter (ugh), but ***

Twitter should respond by canceling Trump’s Twit account.


God, that would provoke an aneurysm in Trump’s tiny brain.

If you were the billionaire head of a massive international corporation, who would you rather be negotiating with: a law professor with no vested interests beyond what’s generally best for the country, or the aging trust-fund baby who genuinely believes he’s the Greatest, Toughest Negotiator Of All Time Forever, and who has surrounded himself with people who will tell him so no matter how much you get away with?

I’m not saying I blame Gates for taking advantage, but yes, we’re now in a situation where noted charmer and social butterfly BILL FREAKING GATES can manipulate the president to his advantage.

Trump looking presidential flanked by two flags and that stupid logo that also appears on those professionally printed Avery tent cards.

They look like they’re about to start their first lemonade stand.

They really seem to have graphic design issues. Remember their first logo?

Is it illegal to wish ill health on a President? Asking for a friend.

I’d say it’s a good idea, but there are millions of innocent people in the Bay Area who’d be in the blast radius.

How is it that Vladimir Putin seems to be running quite a chunk of the world all of a sudden?

Jesus. Us, the UK, he’s up to his eyebrows in Aleppo - WTF happened? O and I read at HuffPo, he’s totally conquered the GOP. Totally.

I read a few months ago the people in Nixon’s entourage had special procedures in case he went nuts and ordered a strike for no reason. I have to think there’d be similar safeguards here because otherwise I’ll drink myself to death. It’s also comforting to read that there are a number of steps involved. Trump would never figure them out before they 25th Amendmented his ass.

I read the story as Twitter refused to allow the emoji to be used in place of the hashtag…not that the dispute was over the styling of the emoji itself.

They stole DOS, too, for that matter. :smile:

Implied by the fact that there have been no outbreaks of E. coli infections amongst the legions kissing his ass.

There are already trackers for that.

Spoiler alert: it’s basically always zero.

Bill isn’t involved with the running of Microsoft anymore, I don’t believe. So now he’s just some famous geek with a big charitable foundation. Maybe that’s why Trump had him there…to find out how much Bill is skimming

Oh sure. I suppose it’s better that he’s manipulating Trump for the good of malaria prevention or whatever than strictly on Microsoft’s behalf. Although he’s not exactly disinterested w/r/t Microsoft, owning however many billions of dollars worth of stock as he does.

Sigh. I can remember when Bill Gates was just about the worst person in the world. Now I just feel sorry for him because of how he had to spend his day.
