@ProjectLincoln Remember when AOC was a scandal for a wholesome dancing vid from her school days? Meanwhile, weโre meant to believe this tattooed theater-jerker is the model of a fine Christianโฆ weird indeed.

Yep. Made it. I'm going to leave this here because I assume the Tweets don't stay until I close the account. (Watch, after all this time trying to figure out how to get followers... I'll get some once I quit). Take care and thanks for all the fish.

I have every confidence that you good folks who are sticking behind can handle it. Keep up the good fight. Please though, don't let it absorb you either. There are novels to write, books to read, movies to watch, family to hang with, music to play, and then some...

Going forward, I'm sure we'll face a lot more challenges, plenty of ugliness (I'm looking at you, Rudy), more from the impeached loudmouth, more Mitch, and worse. I'm also passing up, I know, the chance to Tweet "I told you so" when Melania files for divorce.

I was waiting for post-election. A Biden win. And for when I figured out how to get at least 100 followers (I know, a pathetically low bar). And now we're there.

But overall, it's taken more than it's given. And it's made me perpetually angry. I'm tired of obsessing over a monster like Trump. I know he's not gone yet, nor his tragically large number of minions and enablers. Fight them, I will. But not here. Here, it's time to let go.

That's not to say it doesn't have good elements. It's sharpened my sarcasm and been an outlet for snark and humor. I've had some good discussions. And it forces me to research my opinions so I can slam... well... idiots... with facts.

But that, too, is part of the point: Time. I'd like to spend more on cartoons I'm drawing, work, books I want to write (and am writing), family, and so many other things. For too long, Twitter has leached away that opportunity. It is a drug, no question.

I drew a few I'm proud of and lots that, frankly, I spent not nearly enough time on. Which, in the age of Trump, was hard to do... since he was doing something ugly and stupid on a daily and even hourly basis...

I joined Twitter oh, almost exactly four years ago, prompted by the desperate need to do or say... something... and also because I figured I could use it as a venue to post my ham-handed attempts at political cartoons.

I'm leaving Twitter. I know, I know... you're saying, "Who are you? And why should I care?" Exactly. That's part of why I'm leaving. Nobody needs me here. And that's okay.
