Chicken likes this, obviously. No one copy and pastes the entire article anymore, great granpa.

When someone does post the X embed and then the remaining unshown wordage then others complain.

How about finding your own news, and if you don't like it lump it.

We've become HALF Twitter.

I don't have to be "great grandpa" to see it.

Good threads get buried because of lazy arse fricking posters.

I have to respectfully disagree with this. If it's a good thread it will stay active regardless if it's from Twitter or not. This place is great because people post political news and current events that have the sources/Video in the post. I understand some people like SFP and Owl want to debate every single word in the post which most people are not here for. My suggestion for those who don't like the Twitter political news posts and want to just argue every single thing is open up a political debate sub forum that does not allow Twitter post and they can go crazy in there and argue amongst each other.

Nah. You are just a liberal cocksucker that can't debate facts. That's why you hate Twitter because it makes it easy to debunk your dumbass.

Son, all you do is steal other people's opinion and post it here as your own.

To be honest most of the posters who don't like Twitter don't like it because it's a quick source to debunk their BS. Yesterday someone said Netanyahu was about to have Surgery. A quick Twitter post showed he had Successful Surgery on December 30th. That's what they don't like.

This. I don't mind the links, but I feel like I'm clicking links all the time now. Just copy & paste the text.

Even worse, people believe anything that's on X, and use it as evidence or fact.

People are too lazy to think for themselves.

far be it for me to defend Barron or anyone. but no one posts their own thoughts as threads.

go post a complete dissertation thread of your thoughts with a big boring LINK. see what happens.

I embed post then comment in a sentence or two, and people say what they were going to say anyway.

there is rarely thoughtful discussion much less ever in perfect order.

ya'll are complaining to hear yourself complain. I saw Barron post an embed then the rest as demanded in this thread. and assholes complained he was raising his post count.

Roger complains about everything just to be a dick.

Go start another thread about the sky being blue and Roger will say Frick yeah.
