President Whitmore wishes a Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night, especially our men and women serving in our armed forces abroad away from their families. Happy Holidays to all that help keep our great nation the land of the free and the home of the brave.

[breaks 4th wall] The specifics of the plot do not allow for the story to progress via social media in the same efficient and natural manner like ID4. (Believe us, we mapped it out.)
I need an account for Die Hard like @1996ID4.

Next summer, President Whitmore is using Twitter’s own signal against them and planning the biggest simulcast since the WCW Monday Nitro series finale at Panama City Beach. (wait, what??) And if it doesn’t work… you might just have to be #overthere.

Really quite a thrilling race. After a big Harris lead early, Trump (+ no majority) was ahead as late as simulation 79,287, just couldn't close.

Who would partake in such childish shenanigans anyway?
This day in 1938 newspapers reported a mass panic triggered by a radio dramatization of 'The War of the Worlds' It turns out... this mass-panic never happened and was a smear against radio as a new source by newspapers threatened by a new medium...

Sorry, that was three weeks ago. Like Rick Pitino at Porcini, it came early.
At this point, an October Surprise would have to involve space aliens.

If my opponent saved the world by getting into an F-18 and leading a squadron in blowing up a massive alien spacecraft a few weeks ago, I woulda dropped out, too.

Compact Cable did not report any loss of signal or other telecommunications failures this morning, though they did have several customers call in to complain that there were audio issues with last night’s Star Spangled Banner at the annual MLB Home Run Derby.
NASA is estimating a meteor passed through the NYC area Tuesday morning and could account for some people saying they saw a fireball in the sky. NASA said simultaneous military activity in the area may account for shaking and loud booms some felt and heard

When the President squeezes in some pickup after hours:
Outrageous dunk by Whitmore. I didn't even think he was going to be able to lay that in!

In a statement to the nation, President Whitmore denounces any and all political violence while calling for a return to normalcy, civility, and common sense after yesterday’s assassination attempt on his opponent in the upcoming election.

Thanks to EVERYONE following and playing along. New followers & the OG’s. This doesn't happen without you, rePOSTS, comments, word of mouth. The comments and reactions from y’all are what makes this whole thing fun. And worth it. Otherwise, it’s just scripted tweets.

And as the good Reverend would say, "Why we're on this particular mission, we'll never know. But I do know, here today, that the Black Knights will emerge victorious once again."

As always, pour a few out for the incomparable Robert Loggia and the always underrated James Rebhorn. Masters of their craft. Made everything they touched better. Those guys weren’t bad. They weren’t too bad at all.

Biggest ups to @rolandemmerich and @Dean_Devlin for the awesome source material. These shenanigans, malarkey, and tomfoolery obviously doesn’t happen without them.
