Mitchell tweets on Acosta. That made me think we have not seen him lately, haunting the White House grounds fuming.

Hubby had a total knee replacement, so in playing “step and fetch it”, I have just missed seeing Acosta.

My wife and I discovered fire when she bounced a piece of flint rock off my head and it created sparks and caused fire.

We use it to cook our meat and to warm our cave. My head gets a little sore, but it is worth it!:)

All cool, bro.

Actually, my pattern is, I block a douchenozzle lib or a Bill Kristol RINO and get about 100 followers in return. In one evening, I blocked six and got 300.

they can call him what they want- Bill Mitchell’s predictions were head and shoulders above anything nate silver offered during last year’s election.

You should warn people not to have any coffee in their mouth before reading it.

Knowing your sense of humor, I made sure I had swallowed my coffee before going to your link!

Interesting odds here:

You would miss Acosta like a toothache. As soon as it stops hurting, you forget all about it.

Brand new Mitchell tweet:

Bill Mitchell: Let me bottom line this for the Leftists out there. If Obama was great, Hillary would be President. He wasn’t, she’s not, next.

Dave,

You do not have to be a member of Twitter to see the Tweets

Just about every day, Mitchell has some witty tweets.

When the “sign up for Twitter” box shows on your screen. Simply click elsewhere on the screen and you can see the whole Twitter feed. Super Easy.

Although I have signed up for Twitter, I always go to the site anonymously.

I totally agree. I relied on Mitchell to keep the faith — especially on election night when it didn’t look so good.

His career as a headhunter is very interesting! Many of his anecdotes are solid career advice or business advice.

What he’s got going for him is the good conversations he has with his co-hosts. They play off each other beautifully I find and they’re all wicked smart about politics. You always learn something.

That’s a great summation. Mitchell is very steady. Back when fake polls were coming out two and three times a day, steady was like an oasis. Mitchell helped a lot of us maintain a good perspective during the election. It was a real service.

Thanks for the thread! It was fascinating.

Do us, the non Twitters, a favor.  Post some of his best tweets and ping us.

Dave, your wish is my command.  Here it is a Sunday morning. But in the last two hours, Bill Mitchell launched a tweet storm. Here are a few:
