    A part of me thinks that some of this is deliberate- like once it was clear he was going to have to follow up with the twitter deal the places/people that funded him did so on the condition that he tank it.

    I know that’s insane but I really am struggling to see how anyone could commit this many public fuckups unintentionally.

      I’ve been waiting for him to find some way to turn the loss into a bailout for a year now. If there’s one thing he’s good at it’s robbing the public.
