I will in time change my display name to the one on my passport (starts with Malcolm), but I think that the problem of unaccountability in social media is so damaging that I will persist with my slogan for now.

58,220 American service personnel lost their lives fighting the evils of communism. The Putin regime is the epitome of the evils Americans died fighting against, yet President Trump's support of Putin and betrayal of Ukraine is tolerated by Congress. WHY?

It's bad enough that Witkoff is exposed as a fool, but this from Rupert Murdoch's Times Radio will surely convince Congress that Putin's patsy is a threat to the nation so significant that they must find consensus to address it.

A mega-wealthy self-professed sociopath with a mass communications facility that fosters social division is a threat to a state that's too dangerous to ignore.
Social media does nothing for a nation's wealth, so the remedy is as simple as throwing a switch.
