This is good seed material for a dystopian novel. I'm sure researchers are already trying to find the genetic basis for these facial differences. When I read the initial report on Fox News I thought that they were sensing the lack of empathy in one group.
#politics Ha! The constitution packaged with the #Trump bible is missing amendments 11 through 27. I guess he doesn't want to offend any confederates who still believe in the lost cause, or anyone that was involved in insurrection, or anyone that thinks that Trump should have more than two terms as president.

The Republican Study Group’s budget backs a bill that would give full legal rights to embryos from “the moment of fertilization.”
Does this mean that a fetus that causes injury or death to its mother because it chose to implant in her fallopian tubes can be charged with a crime?

Mike Johnson: “He obviously would never have said something so reckless without clearing it with Russia first.”
Josh Hawley: “Who cares if Russia attacks NATO? Most Americans, myself included, couldn’t point to the country of NATO on a map anyway.”
#politics I believe Trump was speaking to an audience of one when he said Putin could invade any NATO country that hasn't "paid its bills". It's a promised transaction, in exchange for help to win the election.
