What on earth does Trump have to do to get removed? The acceptance of all his vile behaviour including the video posted today is just sickening. Where are the #Democrats in all this? Where's the investigative journalism of @washingtonpost.com or @nytimes.com ?? France is investigating X

As with everything in medicine risks and benefits need to assessed very carefully. The press with their knee jerk "fantastic life saving medication, oh it will kill you" reactions to everything need to evaluate more. And btw, press, why aren't you highlighting Palentir more???

@netflix.com Your recent #TheSevenDialsMystery was an absolute shambles. No, a TV show can never have the whole book or it would be days long but you could at least have kept the plot, ending and characters the same. Just call it something else! Great actors wasted. Utter tosh. Risible

Current #SevenDials is awful. I know you can't put everything in but the plot is hardly recognisable and the characters have all had personality transplants.
