309. Not to be "Dad," but this thread is easy pickings for lurking Breitbart types...

Thu Mar 9, 2017, 08:11 PM

Mar 2017

Everyone should know that they could be in for some harassment on Twitter, just FYI. It can get messy, as all the #45 loons have flocked to Twitter to genuflect at their leader's feet. I've spent some time on Twitter, so I speak from experience. If everyone's okay with that possibility, then, yeah.

Not trying to discourage this at all; hell, I'm going to do it myself. Just wanted all to know the risks and no ugly surprises. It's no shock to anyone that 45's boosters are flat-out rabid. They will say some really ugly shit and attempt to intimidate you.

Okay, "Dad's" back in his chair, you kids have fun now!
