I present for your perusal and pleasure, a pinned post of my Twitter credentials.
First, a poem always to be read aloud in a singsong Dr. Seuss, or don’t.
Second, my one and only reply from the terrorist Trump, from 2013 when he was “only” a racist birther.

Hello losers.
You’re a disgrace to Connecticut Democrats. I’m writing that because you’ve ignored my initially polite interaction which met with incomprehension and inaction by the #TorringtonDemocraticTownCommitee members on Facebook, Instagram and eventually here.
I’ve emailed the website twice.

Shame on every member of the @torringtondems.bsky.social from Steven Ivain to Travis and Ed who stopped by and said they’d research my prior interactions and were surprised there was a @torringtondems.bsky.social account.
WHICH IS WHY I EMAILED THE WEBSITE. SEVEN DAYS AGO.

I wonder how long it will take for someone to reply to my email I sent Sunday after discussing the fact that no one knows who’s running social media for the Torrington Democrats. Ed and Travis were going to find out and I sent an email on Sunday. Two days ago.

I think the @torringtondems.bsky.social forgot about their social media account here.
Which is why they desperately need help.
They’re not proficient, not proactive and not even professional.
Their lack of interest is only surpassed by their lack of inspiration.
And ignorance by their inability.

Let’s see how on top of things the @torringtondems.bsky.social is based on how long it takes them to respond.
Then all other Democrats will see how lame they are, sadly.
As a native, I couldn’t work with them if they begged me at this point.

The @torringtondems.bsky.social inability to effectively use social media is why we can’t have nice things. Like a Democratic majority or mayor.

I’m getting less news.
Barely any views.
Don’t know what’s trending.
Bluesky? I’m ending.
Maybe I’ll be back.
So don’t give me flack.
Else, when I return.
It’s you that I’ll burn
first. Then move on to
any more of you.
So as I part ways,
“Happy holidays”!
So let me be clear:
see you next year.
