Know what? There is Stella (WTF, obviously). But about those other doctors? Are they all crazy? Stupid? Just want to say fuck them too. Sideways. ---

Belief in supernatural causes of disease might not be enough to get a medical board to act. On the other hand, if you withheld standard of care for a stroke or sepsis and instead staged an exorcism, your license would be in serious jeopardy. Even in California. 😃 People should stop picking on Ben Carson. He’s out there, but he’s not remotely the nuttiest neurosurgeon.

Trump _believes_ in nothing. He _promotes_ things that align with his re-election strategy, which is: everything’s fine, go back to work. ---

I feel like if I were watching a show and a character like Stella Immanuel was introduced, that would be when I’d stop watching the show. It is just too much. ---

Unfortunately whatever Dr. Immanuel is suffering from is happening publicly, in a era where someone can “deliberately” destroy their dignity publicly, widely, and quickly. > [@FinsToTheLeft](#): > > More importantly, how on earth does the supposed “Most Powerful Man in the World” believe this? How is that a surprise? We know Trump now. > [@carnivorousplant](#): > > Is belief in a supernatural cause of disease grounds for a medical board to lift a license to practice medicine? IMO it should be, but that might be seen as discriminating against people who “see reality differently”. ---

Um, huh? Carson is still very much alive; at least he’s continuing to be active on Twitter.\* \*unless one of Immanuel’s dream demons took over his body and is sending messages from beyond the grave. ---

At ten seconds in, does the storefront sign look Photoshopped to you? The letters on the sign seen to be more focused than the surroundings. ---
