Not sure if I'm going to join Twitter anytime soon. However, in light of the current predatorhaterinchief twittering on Twitter perhaps renaming/rebranding may bring us some relief from this locura. Let me attempt to explain, the use of Twitter/tweet/ tweeting verbiage --sounds innocent, nice, fun, almost whimsical--a novel, modern way to communicate; a pleasant communal place to be, yet it has its downside. How? Well, downside is the hate spewing propaganda machine, that the bigot in chief is using it for, that is, a platform of hateful, bigoted and discriminatory rhetoric which inturn is used for policies that harms All Americans. Aye, we heard it all through the primary, election and presently--it's getting worse not better. He's become even more entrenched since the call from everyone, really, for him to stop. As we''ve observed in the past, he'll be contrary even at his own peril.

So, instead of calling it Twitter/tweet, call it what it really is a bully-night/day "STICK" [police baton or stick] so when he sends a "STICK," then, he's "sticking" it to us! [Get it? Tritter/tweeting vs Stick/sticking] The "STICK" should also include a flashing. 'LIAR ALERT' notice--beware loads of bullshit and lies to follow, a message from liar in chief coming through...caution/beware may cause severe harm."

Then, there's that really cute little blue pajarito, bird, so harmless looking--instead, in its' place, should be an image of eldiablotrumf himself [the deviltrumpf] or pic of devil; something more sinister like a bruja, however, in Spanish New Mexico, bruja(o )or witches, do not have a negative conotation and can be good and/or also curdanderas(os) someone who cures any ailment of the body, mind, alma y corazon ( the spiritual soul and heart.) Okay, so not a bruja(o) then a....

I am going to need some guidance on using it, right now I'm just reading & re-tweeting, & liking..
..& have hit my "daily limit" twice already!

I actually thought I might use it as "back up", if DU ever goes down again, but the DU account I found isn't active much. I can't deal with facebook but thought twitter might be a plan. I can certainly see why it's so popular..
& YEAH, I have spent HOURS reading tweets!

rather than focus on impeachment. Why? Because impeachment is much more plausible in the long run.

Speaking for m'Self, I like...
the 25th,
& IMPEACHMENT,

& I LOVE...
TEAM MUELLER.
that is what I expect to really bring down the trump-rusky-republiker traitors. Doesn't mean the other possibilities are a waste of time or energy.

WE *ALL* have a part to play, whatever Activism we can do, staying vocal.
I also have great Faith in KARMA & Divine Timing.

Been meaning to tell You, I sure appreciate Your posts.

I am new on the twitter machine, & could use some guidance.
I have some ?'s, & don't think their "support" is too helpful!

Maybe I can do an OP, asking for advice. I am SURE I'm not the only one who needs a clue!

Just paste in the URL and the tweet appears in the post. I usually right-click the date in the tweet and copy the location from the drop menu.

If You call & thank Rep. RASKIN, tell them thanks for me, & I WILL be calling to say "YAY!!"

The GOP controls Congress and they are having WAY too much fun fulfilling all their wet dreams about turning the USA into a complete Oligarchy to do anything to rock the boat. They are in LOVE with PINO and his cluelessness, bigotry, misogyny, huge tax cuts, get rid of all regulations, etc.

And if it passed it would be vetoed by Trump, an action that, ironically, would demonstrate that he is not incapable of discharging the powers and duties of his office.

25th *AND* IMPEACHMENT are useful, even if "all" they accomplish is ticking them off, & keeping them BIZZY!

Mueller & his Team of patriotic PROFESSIONALS are steady investigating ALL connections, EVERY lead.
O, yeah, trump-rusky-republiker traitors/criminals are going to be held accountable, & WILL pay the highest penalties.
