Giving Twitter the bird
With a change of mind and a click of two buttons, I deactivated my Twitter account.  At first I thought it braver and more helpful to stay, advocate, perhaps irritate.  Aggrieved, I pondered how far I could push the envelope until being kicked off.   But, Twitter’s heavy-handed censorship, along with Europe’s pushback, (yet none from the Democrats), and Twitter’s declining stock price convinced me deep-sixing the bird was wiser advocacy.
With the spare time, I started a tab on the amazing things our brilliant president didn’t do:
- He didn’t start a war
 - He didn’t denigrate our military
 - He didn’t censor his opponents
 - He didn’t hide from the press despite receiving over 90%negative coverage from them
 - He didn’t play identity politics
 - He didn’t play a zero-sum economic game
 - He didn’t make minority groups more dependent on government handouts
 - He didn’t treat minority groups as inferior
 - He didn’t give taxpayer dollars to terrorists or terrorist countries
 - He didn’t depend on foreign oil
 - He didn’t stay in international treaties that hurt the American worker or taxpayer
 - He didn’t keep mindless regulations
 - He didn’t hurt the economy
 - He didn’t break his promises to Israel - campaign promises broken by many of his predecessors
 - He didn’t hurt the stock market
 - He didn’t abandon Republican candidates or elected officials
 - He didn’t facilitate illegal immigration
 - He didn’t kick police to the curb because of a few bad apples.
 - He didn’t betray the American people
 
Do I miss Twitter?   Not a chirp.  I mean, tweet.
