Members janea4old Posted January 20 Members Share Posted January 20 (edited) Reminder that, as of noon on Inauguration Day, the "POTUS" twitter and the the "VP" twitter accounts get turned over to the new occupants of the offices. The old twitter accounts are kept intact but the name is archived. Trump has the POTUS account again (although he usually used his personal twitter during his prior term as president.) J.D.Vance now has the VP twitter. The old accounts are preserved by the National Archives, as follows: Joe Biden's tweets as President are preserved at https://x.com/POTUS46Archive Kamala Harris' tweets as VP are preserved at https://x.com/VP46Archive Barack Obama's tweets as President are preserved at https://x.com/POTUS44 Joe Biden's tweets as VP are preserved at https://x.com/VP44 (yes I know the naming is inconsistent, but that's where they are) Tweets from Trump's prior term as president, as I said, were usually on his personal account, but anything on the POTUS account from his prior term (January 20, 2017-January 20, 2021) is preserved at https://x.com/POTUS45 Mike Pence's tweets as VP are preserved at https://x.com/VP45 Edited January 20 by janea4old 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Khan Posted January 20 Members Share Posted January 20 Fortunately, as of today, I am no longer on X (or any social media platforms, save for Bluesky). ICAM!! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Soapsuds Posted January 20 Members Share Posted January 20 Can't believe how giddy David Muir was for today's Orange blob's inauguration. I didn't see any reason why anyone would be so giddy about it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Wendy Posted January 20 Members Share Posted January 20 I left X-crement the day after the election. I miss it not at all! Bluesky has filled the void nicely - and completely. I didn't watch a bit of the Felon Follies today. And speaking of Felon, Rolling Stone keeps it real with its headline chronicling today's travesty, at the link: https://www.rollingstone.com/politics/politics-news/donald-trump-sworn-in-47th-president-united-states-1235241770/#recipient_hashed=41eb6758af709f24ec201d5d77a47d415fdc1497510a5e134f8241bca1e2c3b9&recipient_salt=503b292510c0398f40e5a0b07969a3f22bc641853947c43b3315f759b85225a8 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Khan Posted January 20 Members Share Posted January 20 (edited) I said the same thing when the fires first broke out in California. That was a warning shot from Mother Nature herself, giving us a taste of what's in store for us these next four years. If Americans feel giddy today, it's because they believe they have "owned the Libs" once and for all. People who live in the so-called heartland resent anyone who tells them that they're stupid. That's always been the issue for liberals and progressives: "How do we get the working class and the people who live in 'flyover country' to see things our way without saying that they're stupid?" Because, the truth is, people who live in this part of the country are extremely stupid people with extremely stupid (and extremely dangerous) points of view.

Members NothinButAttitude Posted January 20 Members Share Posted January 20 Glad it isn't just me cutting back on social media. I am planning to wrap up my time on X soon. I just have to finish going through my follows and find the same people on BlueSky when I find time. I barely post on IG and I've cut back tremendously on FB over the past year. I can see myself phasing both platforms out by the end of the year. I will try FanBase as it is ran by a man here in GA. I never got into TikTok (as it was tied to China), so I don't mind testing this out. Like my time and mental health, I am about to be strategic about where I put my money. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Maxim Posted January 20 Members Share Posted January 20 (edited) Haven't opened a single news channel or opened a single article. It's not worth the stress at this point. For a second while browsing youtube I saw a glimpse of horrible plastic-surgery ridden crowd led by Musk... cheering. That was enough for me.

Members DRW50 Posted January 21 Members Share Posted January 21 They think they will be getting big ratings and big money for their books and speaking tours. Good luck with that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Taoboi Posted January 21 Members Share Posted January 21 Yeah, I will probably go for a walk. Haven't seen much of anything. Helped by my TV system going down. Not sure how my social media is going to be given how it was already a slippery slope over the last year and I had already begun to cut back on it outside of business and taking on a hermit mode who occasionally socializes. But even that is changing and I'm getting to a point where I just don't have time for giving out energy for people who don't at all deserve it anymore. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Maxim Posted January 21 Members Share Posted January 21 Ok... I slipped and saw a gif someone shared of Leprechaunia giving Bozo the clown the cold shoulder when he tried to kiss her. I am laughing so hard. This really... does not deserve anything more than MY LAUGH! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
