Meanwhile, Trump intensifies groping of America
Good thing the new president doesn't kowtow to Wall Street. Oh wait.
Was it his recent anti-Hillary tweet storm, childishly bashing his former rival again and again for joining Jill Steins recount effort, the bitchy little hissy fit coming, this time, not from a boorish reality-TV imbecile, but from the imminent leader of the free world, the most powerful human on the planet, the president of these newly doomed United States thus reconfirming Trumps grievous incapacity to pivot to something remotely more mature and respectable as we lurch toward apocalypse inauguration?
Is it the heartbreaking letters from large teams of NASA scientists and the other one signed by more than 2,300 very concerned scientists across all disciplines decrying Trumps promised annihilation of all international climate accords and research, including Nasas long-standing, enormously valuable, deeply respected Earth Sciences division?
[Stripping the division of all funding] would mean the elimination of Nasas world-renowned research into temperature, ice, clouds and other climate phenomena. Nasas network of satellites provide a wealth of information on climate change, with the Earth science divisions budget set to grow to $2bn next year. By comparison, space exploration has been scaled back somewhat, with a proposed budget of $2.8bn in 2017.
Bob Walker, a senior Trump campaign adviser, said there was no need for Nasa to do what he has previously described as politically correct environmental monitoring.
What about Trumps nonsense pule that Hillary actually didnt win the popular vote (by a record 2.5 million humans, and counting), but rather, due to a completely baseless, reference-free lie he found on a racist fake news site somewhere, he actually won it, but all those millions of votes for him werent fairly counted, even here in California? Its all kinds of ridiculous. Except that its not. Except, much like the mountains of fake news his numb followers believed pre-election without giving a damn for credibility, millions of his acolytes appear to believe him, based on nothing but bloviated BS propaganda.
Get used to it, America
Then theres the baffling, disturbing interview the new president-elect gave with the NYT, bitching about an unflattering photo and pointing stubby orange fingers hither and yon and indicating, to everyones ongoing horror, how much he hates the press and will do everything he can to mock, threaten and grope it into submission, if not outright arrest and imprisonment?
