Terrific. Now all of Lonesome Rhodes' tweets will contain twice as many lies... though I doubt that any of his sheep have the attention span to comprehend 280 characters at one time.

The good news is that this means we'll only get half as many tweets from Donald Trump as before.

Being that it seems to be the only thing that occupies your minds, you would think you would have better, funnier, more creative trump insults than this. C'mon, put some effort into it.

Wow. It's 2017 and the big news is a piece of technology is adding 280 bytes of capacity to its output buffer. Amazing.

Adding just 140 bytes, actually.

Yep, moving from 140 TO 280. My mistake. Guess we'll have to wait for some tech revolution to get the next 140.

There's a semi-secret way to have longer tweets: Send one tweet then reply to it with the continuation, then reply to the second tweet, and so on.
