Alt-Right indeed. Alternative liberty!

Kellyanne Conway is the only bigger hypocrite in the world than Trump.

At least he's arguably mentally ill; whereas she's just an ass kissing sycophant.

I LOVE Merriam Webster's twitter account. They're sassy. Also, II'm so tired of Twitter and the hashtags being dominated by Alt-Right assholes, 'Eggbots', and trolls, I LOVE the fact that organizations are now using Twitter to troll Trump and using his own vanity weapon against him. I hope this is the beginning a trend.

"The most interesting of these new accounts, though, is @AltNatParkSer, which is the only one of these rogue accounts currently claiming to be run by active members of the Service. According to its Twitter account description, the group is “The Unofficial ‘Resistance’ team of U.S. National Park Service. Not taxpayer subsidised! Come for rugged scenery, fossil beds, 89 million acres of landscape.” Apparently run by three rangers working at Washington’s Mount Rainier, its users spent the afternoon decrying the censorship of climate change data. (Also, some Independence Day memes ended up in there, too.)"

OT but also some GOOD breaking good news. Public Backlash has moved the USDA to RESCIND the Trump-ordered gag order.
