We would tweet about it.

How would you react if you saw this on the news?

Only one man had the courage to unite the world against annihilation…President Whitmore @1996ID4


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... newsletter.pessimistsarchive.org/p/that-war-of-…



Now imagine as if these incredible events were unfolding here in real time on this silly social media gimmick every July 2-4. Well, the @1996ID4 crack news team is just for YOU!

just watched Independence Day for the first time. holy shit dude lol



President Whitmore in a statement from Camp David: “Congratulations to the United States Women’s Gymnastics Team for not just capturing the gold medal, but winning all of our hearts along the way. A testament to determination and overcoming adversity.” #GoUSA #Olympics


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 4.nbcny.com/1FGiHv9



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.


It's been a super fun six years, and it gets better every single time out. Hope we're all together again in 2025. See y'all later! God Bless America. #ID4


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.


As always, hat tip to @WPMagicJourneys for giving me this concept. She had no idea what she was getting into 16 yrs ago! Hey, go book a cruise vacation with her and ask her about the WHITMORE SPECIAL for discounts on your next deposit!


The guy handling the tweet to tweet content is @MDWDFW and as a North Carolina kid, I take SERIOUS issue with Hiller’s use of the word “barbecue” - the word I’m looking for is “cookout.” It's a cookout, dammit. Anyway, DM’s are open. Hit me up for some collabs, etc.
