Well also we need to stop erasing history and restore Confederate statues and stuff. Much higher priority than everything else.

Dude really, really, really doesn't want people to see the files.

So congratulations. They’re stripping away the government’s ability to respond to climate disasters, its ability to issue early warnings, and even the tools that help protect our food supply by forecasting when and where to plant crops each season.

But hey, at least those three trans athletes can’t compete, and the guy with a tan isn’t taking your fruit-picking job.

Even the hardcore denialists from a couple of decades ago like Rush Limbaugh used to readily admit climate change was real. They always just died on the hill that it was human created/exacerbated.

We've backslid quite a bit from an already terrible position.

At this point I suspect it's much bigger than him. This whole fiasco probably scared a lot of people and now they're all circling the wagons together. I'm sure there's a lot of Spiderman finger pointing going on right now.

No we haven't, the same people are just opportunistic bags of shit supporting Trump because the wind blows with him. The second supporting him is no longer profitable he'll get thrown under the bus quicker than a Caitlyn Jenner victim.

Look at MTG. She's not a paragon of virtue but she's already pivoting.

They'll try to. The mouth breathing cultists that actually make up the MAGA base support Trump for free though. Once the death threats start coming in they'll support him for free too, to save their own lives.

So what you're saying is my hope for the 50xx line of nvidia cards dropping in price despite poor sales just evaporated.

Washington — President Trump officially began levying higher import taxes on dozens of countries Thursday, just as the economic fallout of his months-long tariffs threats was beginning to create visible damage to the U.S. economy.

The White House said that starting just after midnight EDT, goods from more than 60 countries and the European Union began facing tariff rates of 10% or higher. Products from the European Union, Japan and South Korea are being taxed at 15%, while imports from Taiwan, Vietnam and Bangladesh are being taxed at 20%.
