Meade: "is that when we see bill clinton?"
Me: "No."
Meade: "Riding up the escalator"
Me: "I gave you the time stamp"
ADDED: It turns out Meade couldn't see the time stamp. You need to have the video displayed where the time counts from the beginning. If your display shows the time remaining, my time stamp won't get you to what amused me. This was supposed to be a cute lightweight post but ended up wasting over a half hour of my time in a technical mess, mostly because of another problem, the way Truth Social code leaves a big blank space after any embedded video. Now, I'm at the point of screaming at the sky. After numerous attempts to tweak the embedded video, I just switched to a link. This is the last time I try to have any kind of "fun" with Truth Social video.

Well worth watching - no spoilers, everyone!
The embed code from Truth Social puts that blank space!
That woman will be part of the culture for an hundred years.
I’m not an Aerosmith fan but that was funny
You couldn't write a story like Trump's. No one would believe it.
Doesn't Truth Social know Althouse abhors blank space on her blog?
That video was awesome. Thank you.
Canadian Bumblepuppy : "That woman?" I've always thought it was some flavor of guy.
"The Scream" is a famous painting by Norwegian artist Edvard Munch that is a universal symbol of anxiety and dread.
... Has been replaced by a new "universal symbol of anxiety and dread."
"universal symbol of anxiety and dread."
I've always thought of that person's yell as expressive of "ugly, impotent rage," rather than "anxiety and dread."
... Has been replaced by a new "universal symbol of anxiety and dread."
No anxiety. No dread. Just a chronologically adult woman pitch a temper tantrum that would chagrin an authentic toddler.
If you're not getting the time stamp counting from the beginning, you won't end up on the spot I'm trying to pinpoint.
Meade's app displays the time remaining and not the time from the beginning. I wouldn't have blogged this if I'd known that something I thought was cute was actually a pain in the ass. On top of that, the Truth Social html code leaves a big blank space at the bottom.
I looked at X but couldn't find this post. X would have given me usable code. This is the last time I use Truth Social code to embed.
Truth Social is substandard. How hard can it be to make things shareable??? What's the point of trying to present an alternative site if you don't make things work? I've wasted half an hour struggling with the stupid code. And that was just over the blank space. Now I see the time stamp is screwed up.
I feel like screaming like that lady.
I clicked on the embedded video and the time stamp was correct for me.
I'm glad the time stamp worked for some of you.
"How hard can it be to make things shareable??? What's the point of trying to present an alternative site if you don't make things work?"
As to this, I don't think everybody having the same experience is possible on today's internet. I routinely click on things that others say "this will happen", but it doesn't happen for me. Small case in point; what happened to my trash can/delete icon? It just disappeared one day and several attempts to fix it have failed.
There are just too many platforms, operating systems, apps, variables and circumstances to deliver consistent results. The web is imperfect.
This is the universe telling me not to pick up lowly things.
As I was listening to the video and being intimately familiar with "Dream On", I predicted to myself what image would show up during the scream.
I clicked on the link and was blocked, but provided with wordy guesses as to what might be the problem.
Alrighty then.
That IS, indeed, with the watch. Thanks for the timestamp. Worked fine on my phone.
Kamala would have made sure everything worked right, no doubt.
The timestamp though informative was far from necessary once watching the video. This is indeed the golden age of political humor. It's unfortunate that the left has attempted to sabotage everything from this president, otherwise immigration enforcement might not be as intolerable
What CAN’T Trump do?!?!?!
No good deed goes unpunished.
Special moments never grow old.
Well I was able to watch it. I'm not a rabid Trump supporter ("rabid" is the standard for some of my friends who are Trump haters). That said, I'm not a Trump critic. But I compare this piece of Trump promotion--I won't call it "Trump fluffing" with the anti Trump pieces put out by Gavin Newsom's team. There are also some "Newsom style" television ads put out by the "Yes on 50" campaign here in California. Those that are paid for by Tom Steyer, the coal baron turned Enviro Hero, asking the voters to "stick it to Trump" rate as the JV team against this.
Most of Newsom's adds and rants are, comparatively speaking, done by kindergarteners using crayons. As the saying goes, you can't be something with nothing--and nothing is what Team Newsom has.
I'm gettting mixed messages from this post. Spend time doing this! It's too much bother to spend the time on!
I feel like Althouse just gave us a "taste this, I think it has gone bad" post.
I got fooled by someone saying that about a piece of chicken once. Not again
"I feel like Althouse just gave us a "taste this, I think it has gone bad" post."
LOL
How like life itself!
Towards the beginning, I thought that was Barron. Then I thought..."Wow!"
Will the world 20 years from now be able to handle Trump 2.0?

Blogger is substandard too. Welcome to the platforms…
The video started at the beginning for me, if that was the question. Nice to see images of a younger Trump; damn that was a long time ago. lol
p.s. they played ‘Dream On’ before the national anthem at the Bama game last night. Great tune! RTR
I would love to tell you I know a comprehensive intuitive platform to where we could rendezvous. I don’t. We work with a big ‘American’ bank everyone hates but they make some fabulous proprietary stuff with platforms. If you used the big major golf major’s app this year you get it..
I am an inpatient perfectionist. The internet, and computers in general, are my therapist. To use them and reap the benefits they provide, I have to loosen my compulsion for control. It's been a struggle; I am only partially successful.
as for wow -- Trump / Barron

That was greatness.

Judges 3:12–30, “until the shit ran out,” and if we’re not covered in shit, we’re not in service.
No problemo here.
I liked the infusion of various political figures; I believe they were all Trump opponents at some point, at least it's what I noticed.
..or when Tyler goes into the witch's screech just as Hillary's face comes up, 2:50. All of his principal foes juxtaposed with the refrain of 'Dream On'. Too bad Desantis made that list, I think that was a poor choice.
I had to shut down my computer and start it over, and then it worked. It was pretty good up until the "dream on" sequence, which was fantastic. I hate that music, though. I am not MASLA (Make America Sound Like Aerosmith).
For the sequel, we're going to get Love on an Escalator
"Love on an escalator.
Livin' it up when I'm going down.
Love on an escalator.
Lovin' it up til I hit the ground."
And E. Jean Carroll says, "Oh shit! It was Steven Tyler. I got them confused."
When you say that your sex was, "assigned at birth."
We say, "Assigned by whom?"
And when you scream at the sky.
We ask, "Who is in the sky?"
Also, I had to give them my info.
Now I'm on some kind of list.
