I joined Twitter in 2009 because I had lost my dog and I thought networking would be a good way to find him. I joined Facebook at the same time. I never found my dog, but I found a community where I could share my political views and other interests.

The entire 2016 campaign was defined by the media's outrage over Hillary's use of a private email server. In 2026, a high ranking government official's use of an encrypted app to avoid scrutiny as he sends ICE goons around the nation is a one day story. YOUR MAINSTREAM MEDIA 🙃
