No self respecting government, business, personality or ordinary user can afford to continue using X for their communications. It was already debatable why anyone persisted. Now it’s beyond defensible.

I really want any official approving of Trump's discretionary attack on Venezuela without Congress's authorization or approval to have to answer whether they also support him doing the same thing against Panama. And Greenland. And Canada.
