Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for November 29, 2017

I guess Rat won’t be hiring a fact checker.

Somebody beat him to that standard.

“He says the things I wish were true!”

It’s the “Trump Rules” plain as day!

sorry, but I don’t do Twitter

And Rat Drumpf will also say off-screen, “If it was from Breitbart, InfoWars, The Drudge Report, Gateway Pundit, American Renaissance, The Right Stuff, Townhall, Hot Air, Twitchy, Newsmax, Newsbusters, World Net Daily, The Daily Stormer, Occidental Observer, Metapedia, VDARE, 4chan/8chan, and especially FOX NEWS, then it’s totally true. Everything else is FAKE NEWS! Make America Great Again!”

I’m guessing that Rat didn’t do well in math classes.

“If it makes you look hot, wear it!”

….No failing fake news liberal media for our Rat!!!!!!!!!!!

’Bout time he buckled down!

Welcome to the twitterverse.

As George Costanza says, “It’s not a lie….if you believe it!”

I don’t do any form WSFingE of ‘social media’. There! Wait! Is PBS a form of social media? Not with Rat onboard.

I don’t see anything firm coming out of rat. What is truth Rat?

“Firm standards” does not necessarily mean high standards.

Truthiness rules! Twitter was made for it…

“And even if it doesn’t feel true, tweet it anyways.” Covfefe? Covfefe!

Since in the current PC-ridden age, feelings are more important than facts – cough biology and DNA cough – this is right in line.

“Anyways?” Really, Pastis.

Tweeter….twiter…twoooter…twhater…never used the stuff…..

I have Facebook. That’s enough for me.

Twitter and Instagram just look boring to me. Hashtag this and Hashtag that. Ugh!

xxx

Hee, hee, hee…we’re all twits!!!

My kind of rules, easy to comply with! Of course, they won’t do much for Rat’s Social Media veracity….

Sorry, Rat. You didn’t establish anything. Those were the standards Twitter was founded on.

This one reminds me of a (fictional … ) combination of the three popular social media networks of YouTube, Twitter, and Facebook.

a.k.a. YouTwitFace.

Those new rules should pass on to Wikipedia.

Just tweet it! Tweet it! No-one want to be de-tweeted!

Like so many social media platforms, Twitter is just a tool, like a megaphone or a microphone: it gets nasty if you use it poorly.
