@bdatlrides And here all along we thought the idea of spaghetti Junction years ago as the ultimate snarl. I guess we had no imagination as to what is possible… I guess there will now be a Gordian knot junction.

People might be willing to pitch in to fly him out of the country to, say… Budapest or Moscow. Good riddance.

@mf_analysis GOP “ but… but… but…my children should legally be able to choose whether they’re breathing filtered air or not!“

@Elleaster *cringe

@mediabiasfactcheck and just how many taxpayer dollars were used to spend transferring her multiple times by air?

@chessert The phrase “greening up“ implies that there is also something called “browning down.“

@bootblackcub do we even want to know what is squirted on the potatoes?

@nev and yet you never find anyone accused of Gamorrahy….

As unsettling as the Trump Administration is for the global community, it is even more unsettling for Americans. We are now at the mercy of the rest of the world's choices and we have no influence left over those decisions. Our representatives in government can no longer be trusted by any other nation.

The Republican Party has single-handedly destroyed America's prestige and power in global politics by withdrawing every form of leverage we once wielded and ruining the trust we held. #USpol

Just 4 from the Declaration of Independence:

1. For cutting off our Trade with all parts of the world.
2. For depriving us in many cases, of the benefit of Trial by Jury.
3.For transporting us beyond Seas to be tried for pretended offences.
4. He has excited domestic insurrections amongst us.

@taber definitely go with “skip this”

“A federal prosecutor in Washington has contacted The New England Journal of Medicine, considered the world’s most prestigious medical journal, with questions that suggested without evidence that it was biased against certain views and influenced by external pressures.

Dr. Eric Rubin, the editor in chief of N.E.J.M., described the letter as “vaguely threatening” in an interview with The New York Times.”

@ChrisBoese I would say the New England Journal of Medicine is very biased (as are JAMA and The Lancet)… very much in favor of science-based truth. The American medical establishment has always been conservative, but this is a good way to turn everyone against this corrupt administration. Scientists really do not like when you question their integrity.
