You need to subtract the bot army that is activated for precisely this kind of shit from the real retractions. For one thing it';s the middle of a work day, so unless everyone tweeting is unemployed or a stay at home mom, then you're looking at a distortion. Twitter is a joke at this point with regards to policing bots and dummy accounts.
this. Bots have been becoming active like crazy each week and more and more are coming out of the woodwork

It's not the bots, it's the posters with the most reach, who are a stand in for all the people who you know follow them. If you search "Strzok" you'll see all the most commented and liked tweets about the hearings, and half are the videos posted in this thread and the other half are the right wing media personalities calling for him to be jailed.

Twitter (social media in general, really) is a very bad place. It makes our country appear very broken, which is not far from the truth.

Rep. Watson Coleman just went after Gowdy: "You're not the testifying person ... if you can't control yourself, how do you expect this Committee to control itself? You've been out of control since you've been on this Committee. Why don't you leave it alone? This is not Benghazi."
Hot fire.

Man voters are dumb.

Considering that a large amount of the good things in this country had to be done via court order, and another large amount of the good things in this country were provided by lawmakers who then immediately got punished for it by the voters...

...yeah, the typical American voter has no business actually casting a ballot due to personally enforced ignorance.

I didn't see this posted in the thread. Sorry if I missed it.

And *snort*

Look, I know people don't love Sasha Baron-Cohen's propensity for provocation above all else, but he's out here doing the sort of same childish garbage to the cons that the cons do to everyone else. I want to see these people get trolled. It's hilarious to me because they are soooooooo dumb.

Vice-President Palin,

I am Dr Billy Wayne Ruddick, founder/ceo/accountant of Truthbrary.org and it was I that interviewed you. I did NOT say I was a war vet. I was in the service - not military, but United Parcel - and I only fought for my country once - when I shot a Mexican who came on to my property. (Coincendentaly, just like our Great President, I was sadly prevented from joining the regular army on amount of bone spurs bein discovered in my testies.)

I have always admired you for TELLING THE TRUTH about Obama's birth certificate and the location of Russia. but ma'am, I do believe you may have been hit by a bullshit grenade and are now bleedin' FAKE NEWS.

You used to hunt the most dangerous animals in the country, like wolves and people on welfare. So why hunt a fine citizen journalist like myself?

I DEMAND an APOLOGY,

Dr. Billy Wayne Ruddick, Jr.

For some reason, they don't like it when given enough rope to hang themselves, they do, with a big shit ol' shit eating grin on their face the whole damn time. Self-owning just means giving into the base stupidity and wallowing in it.

All these statements are the best marketing Showtime could have ever asked for.
Seriously, every conservative is blasting at full volume how badly they got trolled by Cohen. I don't remember Bruno or Borat getting nearly this much attention, it was mostly hillbillies whining that they were caught being racist or whatever. Now it's elected hillbillies.
