Hollywood hates Cruz.
That’s a bad thing now?
Registered voters? Wonder what party?
Did anyone ever locate someone who’d admit that they saw Obama going to class?

doosee: Not surprised the guy’s name contains NAZI....

Ted Cruz’s Jewish College Roomie Remembers When — With Acid Tongue

Twitter is almost NEVER newsworthy and yet here we are today, in the culture of Popwarholian “fame”.
Apparently he’s been peddlin’ this sh!t since 2013:

Plenty of news passes through twitter and there’s plenty of crap.
Personally I like it because its not an echo chamber.
Some people mellow and mature with age and the humbling kicks in the teeth life delivers. Others remain Liberal to the bitter end. Spend two days calling someone you haven’t seen in decades an a$$hole and it’s a solid guarantee in which group one belongs.
“...and is said to have come to Princeton as a 17-year-old with a book titled Was Karl Marx a Satanist?”
Oh horrors.
Name 10 news stories that broke via twitter.
You don’t hear anything about from when Obama was in college. You don’t hear much about Bill Clinton’s distant past. But you hear all about how Cruz dropped his coat on the floor instead of on the coat rack or whatever and his former roommates are still upset by that and it is newsworthy.
What do you mean by “broke”?
I see lots of news that never makes it to FR because it doesn’t fit the local narrative.
Reposts of news articles on twitter aren’t news.
So and so used the N word or Q word or whatever isn’t news.
“David Bowie is dead” isn’t a twitter exclusive
So what are some examples?
There may be some eye witness to history posts “The WTC just got hit by a plane” but hardly exclusive in vantage or detail.
LOL OK sure.
Now if he was Al Gore’s college roommate...
Tommy Lee Jones
Vitacore Vision trying to build up his Trump creds? What a troll.
Surely “epic†and “Twitter†don’t belong in the same sentence.In this context, "epic" means "excessive" or "redundant".
For other examples, see Donald Trump's Twitter feed.
I beat the crap out of my freshman roommate and tossed him into a closet. He deserved it, but I’m sure he could rant about the horrors of me. And he wouldn’t even have to lie!
I also like twitter. I agree that re-posts of news articles, or your expression of grief that David Bowie died are not useful. However, first-hand posts of facts without the filter of a news article are great. This guy is a witness to Ted Cruz’s college freshman behavior, and he’s reporting the events as he saw them many years ago. That’s interesting to me. It gives me insight into whether or not I want to vote for Cruz. There is no filter; it’s up to me to determine whether what he is saying is credible or not.
I read through this guy Mazin’s twitter feed. There are no specifics about why Ted Cruz is an a**hole. He says Cruz used the snooze button a lot, which I guess could be annoying. Other than that, nothing, other than just repeating over and over again what a jerk Cruz is. Was he cruel? Was he violent? Did he lie? Did he cheat? None of that. I suspect the real jerk is Mazin, who obviously has an opposite worldview compared to Cruz. I imagine Princeton probably had a 10-1 liberal to conservative ratio, and no doubt Ted Cruz was not shy about speaking his mind. No wonder they didn’t like him.
Something else I learned in the Twitter feed. There’s a link to someone from Cruz’s high school, who posted something out of Cruz’s high school yearbook. Apparently, he wanted to be President as far back as high school, and he was part of some kind of Constitutional club in high school. After reading this, I have concluded I like Cruz even more than I did before.
I'll go even further. I knew a few guys in college I thought were jerks at the time who matured and became tolerable.
