Figure out why ours bot tweets aren't showing in threaded convo #11

Seems that our tweets are detached from Trump's for some reason: https://twitter.com/DiscussDaDonald/status/817071816120430596

Not sure what's up, as it worked for testing with another account, and the response from the Twitter API console seems to show that in_reply_to_status_id_str is referencing the @RealDonaldTrump tweet correctly...

fwiw, the android twitter client just kinda cycles forever, and can't load the upstream tweet either.

wondering if maybe we got caught in a twitter spam dragnet...? Will need to investigate, or maybe add a delay so that it doesn't think we're trolling him

Confirmed that it showed as threaded at first, but then got cut out later. So it's something active.

Maybe adding a delay would resolve: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/14249506/how-can-i-wait-in-node-js-javascript-l-need-to-pause-for-a-period-of-time
