These morons are so god damned shortsighted. America’s massive investments in science is on of the main reasons its industrial and technological sectors have dominated the world.
Once more, the GOP reaps the rewards of a legacy of effective governance and everybody else will be left scrambling to rebuild something functional out of the wreckage in ~1.5-3.5 years. If all goes to plan, they’ll ride a pendulum swing back into power once there’s something worth pillaging again.
The Democrats will be blamed for not fixing their destruction fast enough and plenty of purity pony leftists will find some reason to sit out the next election for some single-issue thing like Gaza.
Lots of low-info dumbasses will vote based on something like the “price of eggs” or “inflation”.
They don’t care about the future of the US, just looting its wealth to enrich themselves.
“We’re going to send a spaceship into orbit but we have to pick a random date and time for lift off as we don’t have any weather forecasters left to tell us when it’s safe to go.”?
They want the penthouse life without all those costly subfloors and a foundation.
Hmmm… just like Trump and his properties
They want to completely destroy and privatize NASA, then charge taxpayers 100x more for a shitty techno-fascist propaganda replacement.
Replace “NASA” with any item from a list of useful government agencies and you have the template for neoconfederates’ “Project 20xx” playbooks.
How is this cunt in charge of nasa? How many fucking jobs does this cunt have? I truly hate republicans. They can all eat shit and die.
He’s just acting…
That does nothing to detract from the decisions the shitbag is making.
Hey, he’s a “Real World” alumni, so obviously we are in capable hands…
NASA’s acting chief calls for the end of Earth…
The full story in a truncated headline.
We’re going to cut NASA’s eath science mission. At the same time we’re going to slash NOAA’s ability to perform science. You know, I get the feeling that these people don’t want us to understand what their greedy policies are doing to our planet.
Where did they find this particular doofus? Fox News? A Christian ‘college’? Family of one of their cronies?
Is he a flat earther to boot?
Real World Boston.
I’m not joking
YUP. That’s his credentials.
What a fucking joke. I would put the “he’s a lumberjack and he’s okay…” sketch here, but he’s not okay.
Spend all your time looking for a planet for us to live on, that we’ll never get to. Instead of studying our planet, that proves climate change.
God forbid the big corporations change their ways.
Must be more cost-effective to bribe politicians instead of cleaning up their act.
JFC, this guy rose to prominence from being on “The Real World”.
Idiocracy was not supposed to be a guidebook, FFS. 🤦♂️
And the Trump War on Science continues.
