    So did all of us just assume someone else was saving tweets? I keep seeing "lets post the bad ones she deleted" but I never see anyone posting the tweets

      Once it's on the internet, it doesn't simply get deleted. There's archive sites like waybackmachine, if it stayed on Twitter for long enough, chances are it'll appear in some archive.

        waybackmachine does sometimes remove things:
