Could it be a hack job? Or possibly meant as a joke? Trying to extend the benefit of doubt here. 8>)

[nopardons]

To wake you up !

[markomalley]

Apparently 99.9% of FReepers believe that reading JUST the headlines sufficiently informs them to post commentary.

Agreed. And thus my comment:

Having said that, not reading the post has been FReeper tradition for so long, it won't ever change...

[Piranha]

Elaine Chao is an employee with access to the account.

[nopardons]

SPOT ON !!!!!!!!!!!!

[nopardons]

Naaaaaaaaaaaaaaa...it was those pesky RUSSIANS. *snicker*

[Rastus]

It was a concession to try to get McConnell as an ally. Not a bad thing to do, but Mitch is a worse snake than the President realized.

[nopardons]

And just WHY should we believe THAT?

[miss marmelstein]

I don’t know. Today, there were freepers who don’t know who David Brock is. Some people live under rocks.

[Interesting Times]

Am I the only one who sees that tweet as sarcasm? Whoever tweeted it, it sounds like mockery to me.

That's the obvious inference. The account manager probably deleted the tweet out of concern that it would be read they way dozens of baying freepers did.

[Bigg Red]

I agree.

[miss marmelstein]

And if you read the totality of the posts, you would have seen that some of us are rejecting that idea.

[nopardons]

Oh good grief....how is that possible? Oh never mind...I’ve seen worse, of late. :-(

[nopardons]

With good reasoning behind us.

[miss marmelstein]

Amazing, right?

I suspect Chao - like that Comey guy - enjoys one too many margaritas at night and then gets frisky on her twitter account.

[El Cid]

No...she’s a POS and so is her turtle husband!

I agree with you regarding her husband, but I read the 'tweat' as dripping in sarcasm. But apparently I'm the only one who thinks that to be the case. If she was serious - yes she needs to be fired - but I believe it was just a polite 'FU' to the crazy Congresswoman from South Central.

[Vince Ferrer]

Looks like an opportunity to bring up my proposal to move DOT to New Orleans.

[nopardons]

Chao, Comey, and 1,000s of others need to be FIRED on the spot! And I don't, FOR A N.Y. SECOND, believe that she was drunk nor even slightly tipsy.

Otherwise, there's no reason why anyone, here, should be happy that Trump won last November.

[nopardons]

Oh hell yes, she was serious and WHY you and some other posters, can't/refuse to see that and give this B*TCH the "benefit of the doubt" and make all kinds of pathetic excuses for her, I can not fathom.

And IF ( BIG IF ), someone else used her twitter account ( yeah...and Hillary Clinton is a beautiful, kind, truthful, brilliant, caring woman ), then she is even MORE guilty, for allowing ANYONE else to know her info!

[Flaming Conservative]

If this was an actual tweet by Chao, and not someone else who had access to her account, she needs to be fired IMMEDIATELY.
