Grasp the reality of it

We are talking about the 70 yr old president elect of the United States using a social media app to shame, attack and bully others. Using 140 characters or less to pontificate on policy positions that could impact millions of people.

Soak in the ridiculous absurdity of such a thing. We should be ashamed to being party to such a degradation of the office and our nation.

We have gone from presidents like Washington, Jefferson, Lincoln, FDR and Obama to some idiot "tweeting" at you.

...the first 4 letters of TWITter.

140 characters suits his attention span perfectly. So pathetically puerile and lacking in dignity.
