As the presidential campaign was cranking up back in 2016, @CNN asked me to write an article on "judging presidential leadership." A follower just sent it to me asking if it still applies.

Yes, yes it does.

@markhertling @CNN Mark, I have been following you on the deadbird site. I am glad to see you here. Of all the alternatives, Mastodon seems to have to most potential to be good. Thanks for what you do.
@markhertling @CNN great article, and good to see you back on mastodon! Since leaving Twitter I’ve really missed your posts.
@markhertling @CNN Admiral William McRaven in "The Wisdom of the Bullfrog" recalls walking through the halls of West Point and coming across the cadets' code of conduct - "A cadet will not lie, cheat, steal or tolerate those that do". A set of principles to which we all should aspire.

@markhertling Oh, it’s so great to see you back here, I have been missing your voice here.

Twitter is not feasible anymore for me.

@markhertling @CNN Oh wow, your post is a welcome surprise.
