So, yes, it seems the Nunes #TheMemo is just the tip of the proverbial iceberg lettuce! There are hundreds of Twitter accounts, by either the Deep State, or people pretending to be the Deep State just to scare the Donald into not even eating at the McDonald. From a fine publication, The Modern Farmer [modernfarmer.com], an intriguing exposé!

Twitter, specifically, has been a source of contention. It all started when the official National Park Service account was asked to stop tweeting after it shared photos that compared the crowd size of Trump’s inauguration to the crowd size of Obama’s inauguration in 2009. Then the official Badlands National Park Twitter went rogue and started tweeting facts about climate change. The tweets were later removed and blamed on “a former employee who was not authorized to use the park’s account.”

Since those tweets were removed, over 40 “alt” or “rogue” Twitter accounts have sprouted up to fill in for many agencies and National Parks. Some of them already have a pretty big following—currently, AltUSNatParkService has more than 1.27 million followers. So far we’re seeing climate facts, inspirational quotes about the environment, cute photos of animals, and a lot of snark (this is Twitter, after all).

The Fine Article includes an extensive list, here are a few of the more interesting ones.

Govern by the Tweet, die by the Tweet.

Amici et Quirites prolesque Iuli , aures praebete;
Veni ad Caesarem sepeliendum, non ad laudandum.
Maleficia superstites maleficis,
Beneficia una cum ossibus eorum humata sunt.
Fiat sic Caesari. Brutus ille nobilis
Vobis dixit Caesarem avidum esse;
Quod si verum esset, grave esset crimen,
Cuius poenas graviter persolvit.
