1. Hearing from an ornithologist raging about Trump's @POTUS latest lie, seeing "piles of bald eagles" next to wind farms. While, like most scientists, this guy knows that @GOP lie with abandon about science, this one is about something Trump lies that he "saw"...

@POTUS @GOP 2...Bald Eagles are territorial. In other words, they do not all fly in the same place, they keep their own territory. The only way there could be "piles" of bald eagles is if Trump carried dead carcasses from around many places and piled them up at the foot of a turbine....

@POTUS @GOP 3...on the other hand, in the texted words of this ornithologist, "You know why it’s illegal to kill bald eagles? Cause his people were MURDERING THEM. WITH GUNS." So why does Trump attack wind turbines? Same as always. Personal profit....

@POTUS @GOP 4...Trump has been fighting wind turbines for a very long time because he believes that they ruin the view on one of his golf courses. So he lies and lies and lies. Now he is throwing the presidency behind his lies to financially benefit himself. Now, the next thing about....

@POTUS @GOP 5...the imaginary "piles" of birds (cause perhaps Trump looked at a robin and thought it was a bald eagle) - during periods of migration, wind turbine operators slow down the turbines. It's not as if the operators don't know there is an issue with BIRDS - which is why they fix...

@POTUS @GOP 6...have a field of ornithology to deal with this.

But why bald eagles lie? Simple. His base doesn't give a rats ass about birds. But they DO get patriot boners over bald eagles. So that's the lie. As the ornithologist texted me, "The idiotification of America continues."
