He beat twitter to it?

I’m surprised they didn’t do it for him.

Let’s see more of this.

If everyone dumps Twitter, it will be a hoot.

I never did social media but sometimes I almost wish I did so I could dump them too.

I deleted my twitter account today. Before you delete yours, because the leftists may use Twitter account detsile to track you down, change any personal information on the account. I used an “disposable email” from a website to get the activation code. Change your name on the account. I changed mine to something similar to John Gault. Get rid of the phone number if you can. Delete all old tweets.

Nothing is perfect but it t makes it just a bit harder for the left.

Facebook? Twatter? Instagram?

Nope, I’ve got zero of those.

Everyone here should drop those today. (I dropped them in 2017.)

I never did them either. But I feel the same way.

For most purposes I’ve seen, they’re just a waste of valuable time anyway.

But people who want to put themselves out there need new venues; and I’m sure that Rush and the President will find or create them.

I did too! They say great minds think alike, well I would never presume to be on the same level as Rush but it makes me feel good anyway. I started listening to Rush every day while I worked out for 2.5 hours at the gym at Travis AFB when he was first broadcasting from a Sacramento station. 30 years now. He really got me through some tough times. If not for Rush the Clinton Administration would have made me put a bulket in my head. God bless Rush.

Great news. I deactivated mine think I had 2 followers and never had a tweet. They will miss me.

Twitter stock is dropping but we have to press this so they lose a significant percentage of members.

We’re about to be in a bitter fight only a very strong conservative backlash will work.

I have a friend who told me recently that Rush was getting him through and keeping up his spirits over the past year. (My friend was retired from the Navy.)

This take down has been in the works for some time. They just didn’t come up with it. They are definitely bent on suppressing the truth.
