    I was talking about terrorists so I assumed that your reply was in response to my comment about terrorists.

    Honestly, more visibility for MTG over the next two years can only be a windfall for the Democratic Party.

    Not that many people actually watch these things but if McCarthy/Jordan think that going out every day and letting voters get an extended look at Jamie Raskin and AOC and other Dems AND be able to directly contrast that with the Lunatic Caucus....well, I think they should absolutely lean into that.

    I wonder if one of the main reasons Trump has not tried as hard as he can to get back to twitter is because he understands now that Pissbaby elon is in charge he won't be allowed to be first pissbaby on Elon's platform. I know he does not understand the tech which is now being set up to favor Elon over all others, but he has to understand Elon will force his people to make the tech do that. So to protect his ego he might stay at truth where they are obligated to set up the game so the Donald is number one pissbaby.

    You might have heard that Twitter is now only going to allow people who use Two-Factor authentication who pay for Twitter Blue. A this Twitter thread explains, this is likely a cost-saving measure that will wind up costing Elmo more money. TL;DR Version: Thanks to scammers, the costs of using 2FA have gone up, and because Elmo likely laid off the person responsible for keeping such costs low, they're now spiking. Since that person's not there, nobody knows the easy fix, and Elmo opts for the one that's going to cost them far more money than anything else. It also won't work.
