Everybody who has stocks should be thanking me. Because our Dow 30 hit a beautiful 25,000 today. Just like I said it would. If the Dems (Crooked Hillary) got elected, your stocks would be down 50% from values on Election Day. Now they have a great future -- and just beginning! We're going to grab and grab and grab the money. 💰 Grab and grab and grab for America! We’re going to bring in so much money and so much everything. We’re going to Make America Great Again, folks.🇺🇸

Thoughts & prayers with all who are suffering today because of alcohol & drug abuse! Those who were killed or badly hurt in the many, many accidents our drivers always have around New Year's Eve, those in their families, and those who are addicted and just can't control themselves.

Also, thoughts & prayers with the wonderful people of Iran, who have suffered far too long under their TERRIBLE government. Especially, thoughts & prayers with the ones who are exercising their precious, precious right to protest. We are with you!

I, DONALD J. TRUMP, President of the United States of America, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Constitution and the laws of the United States, do hereby proclaim this the year 2018. Except in Saipan and Guam. Maybe, probably, in Saipan and Guam, I think they have to wait a little. And maybe Little Rocket Man will send them a special firework. He's very foolish if he does. Very foolish. Because I will rain down fire & fury on him like nobody's business. Like nothing this world has ever seen. And it's seen a lot, hasn't it? Hiroshima and Nagasaki, they're going to be a joke. People will laugh about them after I do what I'm going to do to North Korea.

It's going to be a fantastic year, folks. 2016 was a good year. You elected me, overwhelmingly. 2017 was better. Because I started Making America Great Again. But 2018 is going to be amazing! We're starting to get our Supreme Court in shape, we have the tremendous Neil Gorsuch in there, we passed our beautiful Tax Cut, it's going to be a full year of Making America Great. Starting now. Merry Christmas! Maybe, probably, I'm the first guy to wish you a Merry Christmas for 2018. Which is sad. We don't say MERRY CHRISTMAS enough, folks. Not nearly enough. There's a war on Christmas, it's very sad. Wish somebody Merry Christmas today. And every day. And tell them to thank me. They should be thanking me. For signing the most massive Tax Cut this world has ever seen. So every day is like Christmas. I'm giving you a big gift every day, a big Tax Cut. Which is making our economy EXPLODE! And, folks, you should thank our guys in Congress, they worked on that for years. For years. Not the Dems, where were the Dems? Where were Chuck & Nancy? Empty seats, folks! No ideas, they do nothing but obstruct. And they'd love to raise taxes. DISGRACEFUL! No thanks to them, this is going to be the best year ever. Very money! 🍾 🎉 💰

MERRY CHRISTMAS to all, including to my many, many enemies and those who have fought me and lost so badly they just don’t know what to do. U.N. General Assembly, I'm talking about you. Love! 💖 And thank you to a VERY, VERY SPECIAL man, Jimmy Morales, 🇬🇹 for moving his embassy to Jerusalem. Tremendous! ✡

WE ARE MAKING AMERICA GREAT AGAIN! Delivering HISTORIC TAX RELIEF for the American people with the magnificent #TaxCutsandJobsAct. 💸

But a moderator, or a small group of moderators, hates it. And administrators are letting mod-bombs stand. Letting another very unfair Spam mod stand. To silence my message. I'm sure they have passion for our great country. But they're being HATERS & LOSERS. They could become WINNERS like me. But they want to silence my terrific message instead. To make it so I can only tweet once a day, like they did to fakefuck39. Whose tweets start out with a very low Score. Making them hard to see. Hard to read. Very sad!

Let me tell you, this is a great, and VERY SPECIAL, moment for our great Country. The RIGHT TIME. Time to take care of our people, to rebuild our nation, and to fight for our great American workers. It's a whole different attitude, whole different way. We can all come together and be proud! We will all succeed & grow together as ONE TEAM, ONE PEOPLE, ONE FAMILY. With one leader. I made a promise to the American people: eventually, we will get something done. And WE GOT SOMETHING DONE, it's beautiful. It's a beautiful, beautiful thing. Our team will go onto many more VICTORIES! Because President Obama did such a poor job as president, you won’t see another black president for generations! pic.twitter.com/lLgATrCh5o pic.twitter.com/HY353gXV0R

It approves 4,000 jobs in Guam, for our H-2B workers to build tremendous, and much needed missile defense capabilities there. With $355 million to make our military INFRASTRUCTURE PERFECTO as we continue our campaign to create maximum pressure on the vile dictatorship in North Korea -- Little Rocket Man. 🚀 It upgrades our ground combat vehicles, allows for the purchase of new Joint Strike Fighter ✈ aircraft, and paves the way for beautiful, beautiful new Virginia Class submarines, the finest in the world. The NDAA increases the size of the American armed forces for the first time in seven years and it provides our military service members with their largest pay increase in eight years. 💰

Well, I sat down at a computer which I haven't used in a long time. More than a year? I'm really not sure when I last logged into Facebook with it. For some reason, I thought I'd click on Facebook. Firefox has my saved password, I should just click and be in. Ooops - I'm not in. It wants me to enter a password, or click the "forgot password" thingy. Well - actually, I didn't want on Facebook very badly. It's far to much trouble to go to my own computer, and retrieve the password. I remember now that I changed the password about a year ago, give or take a little.

NOTE: I did NOT click the button to ask for a new password or anything. I loaded the login page, entered an invalid password, and was redirected back to the login page. End of story - the page was then closed.

So, a few days later - not minutes later, or hours later, but DAYS later - I check my email, and Facefook is offering to log me in. Hmmmm? Fact is, I've logged in, from this computer, since then. I wanted to check up on a group of veterans, and checked their Facebook page.

Guy, get back on Facebook with one click

Hi Guy,

Now, I might understand this email, had I received it within a few minutes of the failed login. The system noticed that someone failed a login, and automatically generated an email - that seems like it might be a "feature". But, this email is days, almost a week, after the fact. WTF? Doesn't look like an automagic script thing to me. Worse, as I say, I DID log in, and check the page that I was interested in, then logged out. That probably should have turned off any automagic actions that the system was working on.

The email APPEARS TO BE from Facefook, but I'm sure as hell not clicking the link provided.

So, who thinks that I'm being phished, and who thinks that Facefook (or someone at Facefook) has chosen to give me some personal attentio? Shit looks weird to me!

Oh, before anyone asks, I'll decline to provide the actual email with identifying information. True, those identifiers are false, but I'd rather not associate them with this, or other accounts using this username, etc.

So, I went and saw Episode VIII today at noon. I figured, screw opening night; I'll catch it Saturday in the daytime so I don't have to stand in line, fight for elbow room, or listen to a bunch of shitheads talk through it.

tl;dr: I wish I'd just given up on the franchise.

I'm not going to bore you with a lot of detailed analysis because that's not how you watch a movie for enjoyment. I'm just going to tell you it wasn't good and boil the "why" down to the most crucial bit: the dialogue.

If you ripped out the voice track from the movie, rewrote it, and re-recorded it, VIII could have been about as good as VI. As it stands, the dialogue was worse than I or II. Yes, even considering Jar-Jar. After mostly enjoying VII and the much better Rogue One, this was to me the biggest let-down in franchise history.

Isn't it fantastic that lightweight Senator Bob Corker, who helped President Obama give us the bad Iran Deal & couldn't get elected dog catcher in the Great State of Tennessee, is now on board with Tax Cuts! And so is Little Marco Rubio. So happy to hear that! It's FULL STEAM AHEAD for Tax Cuts & Jobs. Give me goddamned steam! Flaky Flake, get on. Chuck & Nancy, if you're reading this -- I think you're reading this -- I saved your seats. Don't let the Trump Train leave Tax Cut Junction without you......Goofy Elizabeth Warren, you too, let's see Pocahontas make peace with Big White Man Chief......bing bing, bong bong, bing bing bing.......You Dems have donors too. 🚂

The sausage is made. You may now officially commence the bitching that you prepared long before you knew what was in the bill.
