REPORTER: You just announced a new nominee for US Surgeon General who never finished her residency, and is not a practicing physician. So can you explain why you picked her to be America's top doctor? TRUMP: Because Bobby thought she was fantastic ... I don't know her

Brings back some USAR core memories.
I used to pack this into my lower lip. We are not the same.

Also does not make your skin melt.
For no particular reason, here is your reminder that VX gas is not green, and not stored in pearls. It is also not a vapor hazard.

We could have had Twitter, with less Nazis. But they was too much for Elmo Mush. So here we are. Also, I reserve the right to curate a feed, to have as much or as little news/anti- vaxx nonsense, hot takes etc. I’ve listened to the other side, and they don’t want to hear us.
I understand why people are leaving. I’m exploring alternatives myself. However, I admit I’m worried that creating separate communities where you’re primarily surrounded by people with similar views as you will create echo chambers that will increase division & decrease empathy.

Hey, imma start unfollowing everyone who is also on the other place. No offense but starting to limit my time here to monitoring noise I have to for professional reasons. #FOAMed peeps, find me at the better place! @mowwyjane @natalie_zink @emtrnmd @LazyDogBone @emily_fri
