I have no sympathy for Shapiro. I agree with him in this case, but as I have written many times, nothing intelligent can be written spontaneously and certainly not in 140 characters.

good point, Larry. The media must GO
The upside about Twitter is the Blue Check Marks....it lets you know automatically those folks are delusional
'don't know about 'blue check marks' and don't care to at this point. Twitter is a colossal waste of time. Get out. Get going. Live.
I dropped Twitter when they dropped Trump. Don't miss it at all. I have my life back and am getting so much else done rather than read that dribble.
Amen. I've been off Twitter 3 years and don't miss it.
drivel.
Dribble works as well 😜💦
This is why twitter has threads. And yes, there are brilliant ones.

I agree.
Exactly. Twitter is an open sewer. Just stay away.
