I'm back from deep in the hustle. Deplorable Deb from my basket, facebook live, reads the President

‘S tweets and holds up her phone to show videos of him being presidential. Almost a thousand people (or bots?) were online watching and commenting, almost all positively.

She sounds like she’s from Boston or a suburb. She goes on and on about Joe and how horrible Democrats are, we want to enslave them, we don’t want babies to see their parents smiles, Joe is a creep, how could he say xyz, that’s it for him, and on and on and on.

She showed up at the top of my feed and somehow, without choosing to, I showed up as following her. I definitely did not choose that.

There was no way to block her. I was finally was able to unfollow her. It wasn’t easy, took four or five passes.

How wierd is that? I couldn’t block her, I didn’t choose to follow her but was doing, and there were almost 1k watchers.

I googled her whole name and it was registered to sell t shirts, caps and clothing in 2017. So that’s the hustle. Find bait for morons and sell them branding material to anchor them even more to the grifter.

these new Twitter Bots are self learning and produce new versions with fake identities.

And why couldn’t I block her?

I posted a comment which, in retrospect, may have been dumb, bot-bait wise.

his theory is,some one in the Trump Camp has put up the money for someone in Silicon Valley to develop one hell of a data mining and targeting program. He claims everyone that uses Twitter has had their profile compromised and is being sold to or used by People to influence those targeted.
