And for the love of all that is sacred do not give in to the "we just need to move on and heal as a nation" bullshit. We'll heal when these fuckwits are held accountable.

The best way to prevent getting norovirus is to wash hands with warm soap and water for 20 seconds. Hand sanitizer alone does not work well against norovirus. #RSNA25

Do they think the Latin alphabet sprung fully formed from Jupiter's forehead?
Surely it couldn't possibly be that almost all alphabets are ripoffs of ripoffs of ripoffs going back to the Bronze Age.
After all, if that held, it'd be really hard to accuse Jews of being uniquely evil and inauthentic.

Donny Two Dolls has a new plan to boost the tourism industry - triple the prices for foreign visitors to get in our national parks.
Maybe call it a Tourism Tariff.

I never thought or expected I would see an American President call for the deaths of American citizens who have not been convicted of any crimes in a court of law.
He should be impeached. If Congress won't do it, they should be impeached by voters. They represent only one person.

Where are public statement by senior generals and admirals, or does their concern about their career come before respect for the law? Why is no 4 star saying publicly that the strikes on Venezuelan boats/murders are illegal and that at Nuremberg Germans were executed for following illegal orders.

This. The journalists who spend every day soaking themselves on Twitter are marinating in the muck.
If you’re a journalist who’s still on Twitter, from now on in your writing you have to replace “the American people want” with “troll bots in Eastern Europe demand”
Being there makes your judgment suspect. I don’t care how savvy you think you are, you’re marinating in a disinformation campaign.
