Twitter, Google+, and Tumblr — because you can auto-post to them, as you can to Facebook. Of these, Facebook and Twitter are most important. Set them up and use WP Publicize to auto-post.

incredibly powerful words and picture, amazing post .. you so nailed it
know you will be keen to read this if you haven’t seen it yet, it’s gripping reading and beggars the question as to why a psychopath would actually admit his wrongs .. why do the public need/expect a full confession before they believe the facts? The perpetrator blithely brushes it off in a no fuzz manner and the public are brain washed yet again 😦

Nicely done. I was thinking of the Trump after dinner meeting with Putin at the G20 without aides. What could go wrong?
