If they do that then might as well put bonds, clemons, and the other 'roiders into the HOF because stats won't matter anymore and everything will be asterisks anyway

NEWS: Asked by NYT if he thinks there are limits to his powers, Trump says:

“…one thing: my own morality. My own mind. It’s the only thing that can stop me.”

John Kelly was right. This is the mind of a fascist.

Two things.
1. We post preprints so that data and results become public sooner. We do not however restrict, nor should we restrict, how those data are used.
2. OP is mad about this. Fine. But doxing a PHD student over this is shitty. You couldve blocked their name out and kept the letterhead

Awful headline by @cnn.com implying Trump is at a crossroads and is struggling with the moral dilemma that is war. In reality, this whole conflict with Venezuela was his own doing, is illegal as Congress has not approved these acts of war, nor has he explained to the country why this is happening
