Some times, I remember how under Obama the only computer with access to official Presidential social media accounts was underground the White House and run by military intelligence officers because it was the word of the American people on the world stage. You know. That kind of meant something.

This was shared in a major publication years ago and I'm just not gonna look it up sorry. Of course the campaign accounts were not under this kind of restriction. But they didn't post under the name of the White House.

Nope? There was the political side (borne out of the campaign and the party) & the official staff side (regulated official employees), & everyone was pretty circumspect about not talking to or coordinating w/ each other, to an almost comical degree. Seems even more comical now that laws don't matter

You're not wrong. Even when he's making up some completely moronic thing that no one has ever staked a position on in the entirety of human existence, it will instantly become the deeply-held conviction of about a quarter of the population (including most top government officials)

How those esteemed institutions came down when the walls went up. It begs the question, were they always that weak to begin with? For decades of work to be knocked down by a single mad kings rule? Or have they been slowly etched and chipped away until they finally collapsed under their own decay?

Now it's run by a scumbag asshole that no one likes or trusts and says really STUPID and insulting things on a regular basis and has basically managed to ruin our reputation on the world stage, our economy and our trust in just 100 days. Fucking amazing, right? Why is he still there? Lock him up!
