Embedding tweets - troubleshooting

I think the reason folks are no longer able to see these is the instructions about how to do it are no longer applicable. That is, twitter doesn't provide the "copy link to tweet" option in the dropdown menu.

"copy link to tweet" showed up on the one I just selected.

Likewise "embed tweet" shows up--which I wonder may be what people are selecting causing problems?

Prime beneficiary of today's leak is Rosenstein...

I would guess that's his response to Trump's question.

and a pop up blocker on Chrome and Firefox. Both work on DU - Do your browsers need updating?

Just isolate the tweet you want to post by clicking on it, then copy and paste the URL that appears in your browser's address bar.
