Thank you for the compliment, Yvonne. There were a lot of heartfelt good comments and I thought all of us would probably rather not write them again. So many things are taken out of context.
I took his statement to mean simply that he is not running again in 2028 so he doesn't give a damn whether you vote or not after that. The man is not that deep.He is not that complicated. At the other end of the spectrum, he could simply mean that he will not run again in 2028, so he doesn't care whether anyone votes or not after 2024. He is not that complicated to figure out.
Good afternoon to all- Ms. Evans- I have never said anything low-down about you in any way. It sort of hurts your credibility as a decent person for you to speak insultingly to me directly. And as far as doing ANYTHING into the wind, let me remind you that I'm an old sailor, and I learned long ago that the wind was for doing things with- not against. And I doubt you really know much about that sort of thing, anyway. And as long as I am telling the truth as it appears to me, I don't really care how anywhere on this forum or anywhere else for that matter feels about me. the truth is still the truth. you all be safe and keep well- Ed
President Trump just had a presentation with one of the biggest online bloggers, a guy named Adin Ross. I have never heard of him before, but apparently he is one of the biggest influencers of the 18-25 age group (Gen Z ?), and they all read/watch his blog. Anyway, he did an interview with Trump today and then presented him with a Tesla CyberTruck, with a wrap that has the iconic picture of Trump with his fist in the air after the assassination attempt. There are good videos all over the internet, and this is a screenshot of the CyberTruck.
Next Monday, President Trump and Elon Musk will be doing an interview together ! If X was not already the leading news source in the whole world, it sure will be after these two get together for a nice chat. Maybe this is what needed to happen before Trump comes back to Twitter ? Definitely looking forward to listening to the two of them talk together. People that do not have Twitter have no clue of all the news and information they are missing, or eventually get 2-3 days later on some other news program.
Yvonne, apparently tweets cannot be posted here, correct? Is it not possible or have I missed something? I know there are tons of videos posted from You Tube but if it's just something short like a politician making a comment it's so much quicker to view it on Twitter.
The forum does not have the software to embed an "X" (or a Twitter) video. You can only post a link to it. There may be a Media Site manager where @Ken Anderson could enable the site to recognize a twitter link and automatically embed it, just as the site does for YouTube videos. From what I've seen elsewhere, the member might have to modify the url, since twitter became "X" (just as you do for YouTube Shorts if you want them to embed here.)
Thanks, John, for explaining. During election season there are so many quotes and incidents that are worth posting and so quick to post or view in a tweet but no worries. You've never had them here and there's no need to change anything for just one person. There are places for my political Twitter mania.
Actually, I'd like the capability to embed X videos rather than follow links. It may be as simple as checking a box...if we can find it. Whenever someone here posts a link to a You Tube Short, I fix it so it embeds. As an fyi....On this forum, you replace the word "shorts" with the letter "v" and use the Media icon on the toolbar (the forum does not automatically embed it) from-https://www.youtube.com/shorts/OYCR4ltJPAo to-https://www.youtube.com/v/OYCR4ltJPAo On other forums that trick works. Or you may just have to delete the word "shorts" and one of the slashes when posting elsewhere: from-https://www.youtube.com/shorts/OYCR4ltJPAo to-https://www.youtube.com/OYCR4ltJPAo
I edited that reply to Vada. You need to use the Media icon on the toolbar to get it to embed. The forum will not automatically embed that modified link.
Trump is supposed to be enroute to Bozeman, Montana, for a rally tonight, but I am just seeing that his flight was diverted to Billings (Montana) instead, and that a medivac helicopter is enroute from Bozeman to Billings. The motorcade is also headed to Billings, so possibly some problem with Trumps plane ? After the last assassination attempt, I am worried that they have tried again. UPDATE : now reporting the medivac was not heading to Billings, so it was something else. Also saying that the plane had a hydraulics problem, and that is why it turned around and went back to land at Billings instead of continuing on the Bozeman. It looks like it was just past Billings when it turned around.
So it was the plane. Now that I think of it I'm not comfortable with the Secret Service being around his plane. It is his plane, not a government plane, but I'm sure they are still responsible for guarding it. That's not a comfortable thought.
