In the article John Kerry was quoted “If policy is going to be made in 140 characters on Twitter, and every reasonable measurement of accountability is being bypassed, and people don’t care about it, we have a problem” I have two problems with his statement. First, PE Trump has never claimed that his tweets are the equivalent of "policy" statements. They are quick jabs at someone or some subject. Second, what level of "accountability" is being bypassed? Is Secretary Kerry saying that there should be a filter between what the president says and the American public? If so, that's just wrong. I think that the democrats and the mainstream media are really upset that PE Trump has figured out a way to modify their carefully crafted daily news narratives. In essence he is holding them accountable for their false statements and fake news stories.

Agree. I think Trump is simply bypassing the press who counted him out from the getgo. Is getgo a word?

MAJ Charles Blake, Capt Jeff S. - It's hyphenated.
Why would anyone waste time considering what Kerry "thinks"? Why would anyone waste time mentioning it? What the hell am I doing here? Bye.......

Ok, think may be a bridge too far but I'm interested in the way the left trys to block Trump. GW was punished by the press and never flanked before he charged the ambush. Trump was elected partially for his ability to communicate directly. It's very interesting.

I could care less with Kerry thinks. I never forgave him for lying about his fellow soldiers in Vietnam for cheap sensationalism

I wonder sometimes how this traitor was ever allowed to walk free. He should have done time for what he did to demoralize troops still in country and all of the troops who came home and felt they did their jobs to the best of their ability.
Well, Mr. Kerry, I have/had a problem with your policy making too. Call it even and go home. Hopefully never to be seen again. But with your ego, I know the MSM will come running to you for your 'expertise'. I shall change the channel when that happens. Garden Slug Abatement 101 is much more interesting than you.
