I'd like to suggest that we can all be perfectly fine if Twitter disappeared. I'm all for free press, but Twitter is complicit with crimes against humanity and hate crimes by allowing his tweets to go unchecked. If Twitter goes away, I suppose he could use Facebook or Instagram to promote his hatred...but then we would then need to challenge Zuckerberg to deny him the opportunity to incite violence and nuclear holocaust. But I agree that the GOP Senators and Representatives are to be held responsible for not opposing him and his wrath against all of us. This just isn't going to end well and it doesn't seem like anyone is taking significant actions to keep us from starting WWIII. Short of feeding trump excessively fatty foods, I'm not sure how we can stop him. Do you think we could possibly feed him to death? What's his favorite junk food. Send him tons of that stuff!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13076742415120923804noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4307187040250193857.post-50479897982167726622018-01-04T08:34:40.630-08:002018-01-04T08:34:40.630-08:00Ooooo.
