Finally, the explanation why Trump is orange...

Link to tweet

[Kashkakat v.2.0]

1. Link to Tweet - fer crying out loud, is it really that difficult to copy and paste. No not clicking

on your link. Tired of this.

[dixiegrrrrl]

2. The tweet shows up in my post on my puter.

Otherwise, I run it thru ingur.com.

[Yonnie3]

4. I'm not sure I understand your issue.

If you copy and paste a link to a tweet in a post. DU automatically fetches the tweet.

See the post in Announcements about this.

If you don't want to click my link the post is in the announcements group titled "You can now embed Tweets directly into DU posts"

[Bernardo de La Paz]

19. Quite a number of DU members have Twitter blocked at work or other issues with it.

Copy-pasting the text is a courtesy.

[Yonnie3]

21. Ahh ... Maybe that's the case

It was unclear if that was the case, since the post said "No not clicking on your link." That seemed to indicate something else was the issue.

[Glamrock]

5. Calm down man!

I can see it just fine.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

20. It is a fallacy to imagine that one's own experience is what everyone experiences.

Twitter is blocked at work or in other ways for quite a few DU members.

[Proud Liberal Dem]

25. It's blocked on mine

Can't view the embedded tweets or get to Twitter unless I'm on my phone or at home.

[Glamrock]

6. Oh

And it's soooo worth clicking on!

[IronLionZion]

7. Is twitter blocked at your workplace?

That's the case in some offices. You can bookmark it and see it later at home.

[Haggis for Breakfast]

8. Please be patient with some of us old-timers

who never saw a computer until we were in our 40s and haven't had time to catch up.

[dixiegrrrrl]

11. I got my first computer when I was 53.

I will admit that after I retired, and could spend more time on it, my learning curve really took off.

[True Blue American]

22. Am I there yet?:)

We worked on computers at work, but the internet is a whole different ball game.

My Son insisted I needed a computer when I retired. Bought it,hooked it up for me, then became upset because he could never contact me.😛 Remember AOL dial up?

[Haggis for Breakfast]

31. THAT is one of the reasons why my computer learning curve plummeted.

[True Blue American]

32. Slow!

I once went with Direct TV. They had DSL. After Roadrunner it was horrible. Back to Spectrum, but am still paying less than Time Warner. That is not saying much.

[Haggis for Breakfast]

33. And that's another thing

In some areas, you are limited in available carriers/providers, which only incentivizes them get creative with their rates.

[True Blue American]

34. Spectrum gave great rates

After they bought Time Warner. I first took internet and phone pkg. $37. They were buying out contracts on Direct. Then came the $99 deal,all 3 for one year.

3. An orange maggot

[SCVDem]

9. If you can't see the link or tweet

Then you need a little IT assistance.

I am so tired of that color on that troll! Be gone!

[NRaleighLiberal]

10. Is there a setting? All I get is the hot link that says "link to tweet" - so I have to click

[dixiegrrrrl]

12. With Firefox, B click on the "tweet" and it should give you option to "view image".

If you are running Mircrosoft/Explorer, I can't help with that.

[NRaleighLiberal]

13. Chrome user, HP laptop - the twitter links don't auto open. They do on my phone, though (Android)

[radical noodle]

24. I use Chrome and the tweet always opens in the post

but I have to wait a few seconds for it to show up. When I was less patient, I clicked on the link... then discovered it actually will work (unless your settings are different than mine).

[dixiegrrrrl]

30. I use Opera as a backup browser, it gets weird at times.

Won't play videos...YouTube, anything, etc. So I have to link copy and use Firefox for vids.

Been meaning to look that up for ages now.

[Blue_true]

14. That combination would certainly do it. nt

[EricMaundry]

15. I think the mystery has been solved

[justgamma]

16. That could be it, but

I always thought he was stained yellow from his trips to Russia, if you get my drift.

[calimary]

17. Aha! Now it can be told...

[Bernardo de La Paz]

18. Text of tweet. Good idea to copy-paste the text so Twitter-blocked people can see it directly.

Howard
? @HowardA_Esq

I finally figured out why Trump is orange: he's a combination of cowardly yellow, and communist red.

[certainot]

23. i thought it was his taste for tabby le'orange

[miffelplix]

26. I thought his orange-color has a symptom of his soul rotting

[BHDem53]

27. Ford used to have a color

called Grabber Orange.

[Nitram]

28. Umm, Russia isn't communist. Neither is Putin.

[skypilot]

29. I figured that the explanation...

...was something along these lines. I actually thought it was going to be that he started out Red but turned orange after those hookers peed on him.
