I thought Moses was supposed to call One Big Pile of Bill by its new name now since Americans are neither fooled nor distracted. But has any brave overpaid TV host asked if King 47 shit-bombing Americans is OK with his good Christian sensibilities and aligned w/ his scholarly Constitutional acumen?

Not one Sunday gab fest will address the very serious issue of 47's mental health as he launches wars at home and abroad. Not one. Wstch. @meetthepress.com @cbsnews.com.web.brid.gy

Will @meetthepress.com ask JD, Markwayne or Lindsey about 47's mental well-being and if administration or Leader #JohnThune 's position is that Americans peacefully assembled should be shat on?

Does #GabeEvans want Leader to defecate on Coloradans or are we pretending everything's OK?

How any grown adult can do that job and have any bit of self-respect remaining is beyond me. Go work at the Drive Thru or something useful.

$40B bailout to Argentina as it takes US farmers' soy exports away (for good probably) and who knows how much for this - another Dear Leader vanity distraction, counterprogramming the in-your-face-fact that coast-to-coast #WeThePeople are over and done w/this sh!tshow

I like how the commissioner thinks that since he didn't mean for it to apply to all the non-native animals it appears to apply to it, it wouldn't because he didn't mean for it to. The "nuh-uh" clause.
