There’s a somewhat inevitability that you would be banned from twitter at the very time everything you had been harping on about for the last decade is coming to pass. The ghost of Barney Frank mocks you.

Set up the paywall, you're worth it, Rudy! We miss you on tweeter. Hope you don't mind if we continue to post a few nuggets with appropriate acknowledgement to keep feeding your ghost in the machine. We are trying to needle TPTB but no luck so far. We shan't give up but it's unlikely we'll move the needle with our piddling account... Keep on trucking, sir.

Dammit, Rudy -- missing you during this shitshow. The Greeks called it "envy of the gods."

Rudy your incisive wit is definitely worth paying for! You were giving away the goods for years on Twitter - things happen for a reason! Follow all of the REAL journalists and publish here behind a paywall..

Learned a lot from you in the past 8 years. Many laughs, many "fuck those assholes" uttered. Would definitely pay.

Due to life's latest landmine, the Col. cannot afford it; you should charge 20.00 a month, as you're without doubt one of the most edifying producers of content I've encountered on the interwebs. Best to you, sir.

If you do the paywall do a private twitter.....I (we) miss you on twitter.

I'm "permanently suspended" from Twitter at the moment.

Have you considered setting up a Patreon?

“Buymeacoffee” is another easy way to collect funds without the need for a paywall. https://www.buymeacoffee.com

Don't know much about it. Could I transfer my follower list there? How much do they take? Any suggestions?

I'd pay $10/month just so I don't have to use Patreon. They're green-haired loons just like PayPal.
