5. Let's hope his tweets as president will be for social purposes only.

I've had enough of the "Governing by Tweet" that we have now.

Personnel changes, policy, procedures, and dissemination of information from the Oval should not be splattered out via bluebirds and 280 thumb presses. We need to bring dignity back to our government, and Twitter doesn't make the cut.

He has no idea what he's doing and doubles down on being wrong. Truly a terrifying thing to watch happen.

7. My concern is that Chump has set the precedent

and it would be an easy (bad) habit to take over. I'd hate to see Joe start out with non-priority tweets during the campaign, and then fall into the pattern that Chump has established.

There is irony in the scenario that Chump loves his tweets serving all his purposes (including, but not limited to, harassing others) but the Sarah Coopers of this world can't have TikToc to play with because it hurts Chump's feelings and opens him up to another avenue of criticism. Sure, he says it needs US control because "Chy-nah is evil", etc., etc., but the real reason is that Mr. Thinskin just can't take the heat.

8. I should add that Joe is a grown, mature man. trump* is a 74 year old spoiled, ignorant toddler

Biden has ethics and empathy. trump* has misanthropy and mendacity.

9. Agreed on all points Biden, as far as his character and qualifications.

I'll just be happier if he puts his iPhone in his desk drawer in the a.m. and doesn't touch it until lunch or day's end, when he shares a pleasant moment or two.
