I don’t use Twitter, and if I did I would not care about getting a blue stamp UNLESS I was trying to use my Twitter account as part of my profession, in which case it makes sense to pay for a service that I am trying to make money off of.

It’s a great idea there’s leftist blue check professors, journalists, etc. that are literal nobodies. Thanks to their blue check status, they have had clout and reach over non-blue check accounts that do have a legitimate following.

What Maestro Musk is hinting at, the report said, is that those stupid blue checkmarks might soon cost a staggering $240 a year...

I'm proud to say I have not the slightest idea what he's talking about.

The blue checkmark, which is often denied to conservative journalists or even politicians, is something the left thinks is their due.

It would be great to see them have to pay for that pleasure.

I've tried to get a checkmark on Truth Social (they are red over there) but apparently it's only for the "elites".

I am all in for charging a monthly fee for those things. Somebody that is willing to pay $20/mo to use a social media site deserves that checkmark. It doesn't have to be limited to celebrities, politicians, athletes, and "influencers".

In fact, Free Republic should do this for their monthly contributors.

Just my opinion.

So far my favorite has been the “fact check” on Biden’s liars. That will be great if a fact check goes out every time someone from the White Hut “tweets” something.

Invest in mop and bucket companies. There is going to be a lot of brain matter splattering all over.

I kind of like the idea. Liberals ‘boycott’ the $20 while conservatives pay for it. Then when liberals post, we can say they’re FAKE accounts.

Anything that you read about Twitter from the main stream media right now should be taken with a huge grain of salt. It’s as accurate as their portrayal of Mr. Pelosi‘s attacker.

What is true, I’ve got a new Twitter account after having deleted mine years ago.

Haven’t a clue what this is about but if the fee applies to libs who have been using it for cover the price is too low.

Price Too Low, something I have not said in ages.

$240 is paltry for the apparent smug sniping position it apparently gets one.
