Why Biden? Why Clinton? Why not Trump. Kind of stinks doesn't it? Do hicks get it yet?

This reminds me of 'Russia, if you are listening...' Yes, it's the season for alliance again. Right, realDonaldTrump? FoxNews nytimes washingtonpost

You could tell right away tha Biden's twitter was hacked because his tweets were coherent.

Angela Merkel is a traitor to Germany and the EU Joe Biden and Obama were traitor the the US and it friends

Three of them look like Epsteins friends

No worries Joe was sleeping in his basement. He thought he was campaigning in the city of Arizona . He had and had no clue what happened. Dont bother telling him .

Wow all the hackers attack on liberal minded geniesses . check rusdian hands or chinnese

Do you people not listen? Michael Flynn said “we have an army of digital warriors”. There is your silent majority.

Devastating cyberspace TwitterHacked

Hmmmmmm.

Jita scams best scams 🤣

I wonder how much info they captured. I'm going to laugh if a bunch of blue check DMs get released.

Can you believe someone gave 100k to Biden for this scam.. LOL

That’s pretty poor security training for a company that should know better.

It's all Trump's fault ! hey Demo😈crats What else? TRUMP caused the Hinderburg to crash He got rid of Jimmy Hoffa 🤣 Oh here's a true one ! He increased employment Stock market at it's highest Anymore ? Ahh yes Business tax down to 21% Demo😈crats are a selfish bunch 😡

So we're not safe here too?

Foreign election interference?

Was realDonaldTrump account hacked, if not why not?

This is so bad that unless Twitter promises to change a lot the internal security procedures, it doesn't make sense to continue using it. If I were some of those guys I will not use Twitter anymore. Too dangerous.

Just read that Parscale was dismissed. Let's welcome Vladmir Putin as the head Trump campaign manager! 👏

I'm sure they'll be fine! Hey Bill!

And Trump wasn’t hacked? 🤔.....

accounts hacked or an excuse to clean house, Deleting evidence of their sick depraved minds.

J_David_Clarke I can’t believe people actually transferred bitcoin to them. Like: how did it not seem ODD to you that these people would say this?

Will Twitter ever be safe if its disgruntled employees with access to the company's internal tool continue to attack all and sundry?

Please watch this video

twitter CEO JD represents left wing and the freedom of speech but Facebook MZ represents right wing. Therefore twitterhacked soon after all troll (mostly tayyiperdogansupporters) accounts have been deleted. Don’t worry twitter we love you and socialism

Internet has become a politisized oligopoly where trusts owns our economy and the truth. It's a threat to democracy and a larger threat than the trusts 100 years ago. We need a Trustbuster President. twitter Facebook Google must die.

So wtf happened, how'd these folks get into these accounts with 2FA enabled

SpeakerShinjini Roger Stone is out and we have this problem? Shocking..... 🤦‍♂️

Is this Russia flexing its muscle?

Hey CNN, why is nobody reporting on the fact that realDonaldTrump’s account was hacked today as well?! This is a screengrab from my feed:

I don't know one the face on the picture, however I know very well the other three and them three should in jail. They are criminals and mass murderers. StateDept FBI realdonaldtrump BorisJohnson please get those three people on this list. They are evil.

Bummer.

Their is no wey thye did this and not two Trimp....

ATTENTION!!! Hacker confirmed to be Samuel Hyde, motivation unknown. Amount of bitcoin accumulated also unknown

Was Chrissy hacked?

Hmm... was twitterhacked by China or was it Russia again? Probably the last, bc they also took Biden's account 😎

Ah Twitter, finally getting a taste of your own medicine. About time. Like Facebook, you people need a come-uppance. Interesting to note those chosen to be hacked. Prepare yourselves, the real fun's just getting started.

That was easy for someone to do. Hmmmm

WOOOW! How about TRUMP ACCOUNT? Nothing... looks like somebody who wants to put dirt on the Prominent Democrats, want to put dirt on them. Who could that be... Trump clear of these hackers. WOOW what a lucky guy...

Joe Biden should thank his stars that the hackers were only interested in getting money and not to bring his presidential bid to a halt.

Or this is the story that was given and Twitter is actually helping law enforcement agencies with an investigation. There’s that possibility that nobody seems to want to admit or consider

Hm. Throttle? Bounce? Twitter got some splaining to do.

VoteTrumpOut

All of them deep state globalist people

It surely is from Trump or his believers. But how?

Sounds like Twitter is helping pedos delete incriminating posts

bhindividual

Why wasn't trump hacked

Are hacked people the ones that have been to Epstein’s island?

I think the Far Far Left just took somebody’s money 💰!

Look to towards a trumpet.

LeDrag0n Russia strikes again

It was nice not having the ✅s

It attacked 4 losers

Any high ranking Republicans hacked? No?

And komrad Trump needs to be investigated in this matter

Everyone that fell for this hack deserves their own loss

So the Republicans will say, hey it’s obviously the Democrats and China. They hacked themselves to make it appear it was the Republicans and Russia. Lol they are to quick and ahead of the game .

Smells of Russia and trump.
