"You can go right to heck. I don’t think I will lose re-election based on you screaming at me"
The followers-only reply setting appears to be improving my experience here a lot!
However I do think I'll have to also turn off quote-posts whenever I exercise that option. They remain pretty weird when the post escapes containment.
This is just a game for Elon, but the consequences for families in Oregon and across the country are real and dire. His purge of the federal government is going to make life harder and more expensive for all of us.
This blowing smoke up every nominated ass is so necessary, these poor people never get flattered
