1. Too Bad Tweets Mean SHIT

It could be the most tweeted hashtag of ALL TIME, and it STILL WOULD NOT MATTER.

There is NO ACCOUNTABILITY in this pathetic country. Apologies to those who still believe there will be, I DON'T. I foresee a lot of disappointment, backtracking, and downplaying of the lack of accountability in time. I hope to be proven wrong, but just doubt that I, along with many others here, will be.

It's not my fucking job to make sure this country does the right thing here. And I'd gladly go along with this tweet idea, if it had any potential. Unfortunately, it's not going to move the needle. Apparently NOTHING is. The time is approaching when we'll have to accept that we're a pathetic and failed country. Facts.

Why else would every Congress critter, President, Queen, PM, Business leader, have an account and use it regularly?

Twittter is how the world communicates in the 21st century.

Like it or not.

The alternative is the end of American democracy. Might as well go all in. I doubt Merrick Garland wants his daughters and grand kids to live under the American Taliban.
