The White House Now Has Zero Science Advisors (cbsnews.com)
DogDude shares an article from CBS News:
The science division of the White House's Office of Science and Technology Policy was unstaffed as of Friday as the three remaining employees departed this week, sources tell CBS News... On Friday afternoon, Eleanor Celeste, the assistant director for biomedical and forensic sciences at the OSTP, tweeted, "Science division out. Mic drop" before leaving the office for the last time...
Under Mr. Obama, the science division was staffed with nine employees who led the charge on policy issues such as STEM education, biotechnology and crisis response. It's possible that the White House will handle these issues through staff in other divisions within the OSTP.

Good.
"Intellectualism" in America has descended into this "white men are evil, we must make Muslims feel good about themselves" bit of craziness. We're seeing actual harm as successful tech companies are destroyed by people complaining that the people running them are straight males.
The American public is sick of this. They saw through the false shock at Trump's locker room talk. The American people voted for Trump to drain the swamp of these fake "intellectuals" who think that reality is racist and sexist, and that we should therefore ignore reality and start trying to enforce some crazy "justice" based view of the world.
No. Drain the swamp. Ditch these so-called "scientists" and their false advice. Trump is making America great again, and it's quite frankly astounding how many people are trying to stand in his way. Never has the democratically elected President of the United States seen such disrespect.
A government of the idiots, by the idiots and for the idiots
A quite sorry, demeaning & undignified depiction of the generous people of the USA.
For this, you should be ashamed of yourself.
The US is the first to lend aid in disasters around the world. We send our aircraft carriers to desalinate water and pass it out for free, and supply power to the hospitals while the local population recovers.
And when the crisis is over we send our aircraft carriers home, without conquering those nations.
We helped Europe deal with Nazi Germany, then poured billions of dollars into efforts at rebuilding the continent. We forgave billions of dollars of that debt, and continue to shoulder more of the bill for ongoing security than other countries (NATO).
We defeated Japan, occupied the country for a short time, rebuilt their infrastructure, and left them largely with their dignity intact. Japan is not a slave nation to the US, nor another US territory, nor do we laugh and deride them for losing.
The US is the worlds policemen, the country everyone looks to stop genocides and gas warfare and tyrants.
We have innumerable private charities that spend money all over the world to help pull people out of poverty and oppression. One past president has just about finished eliminating Guinea worm worldwide.
We have a ton of problems and endlessly debate them in the public eye, but that is by design. We're loud, insulting, and sometimes ignorant and insensitive.
Saying that we're all idiots is fine, that's your right.
But note that we idiots still help out when disasters happen worldwide, and when the disaster is over we come home without conquering anyone.
We're idiots, but compassionate and generous.
The policy was "to look like we care" and at that, they sort of worked.
"His name was James Damore."
His voters are clearly "low information voters". Stupid might be aiming low but they are clearly misinformed on very basic facts in reality...
Dude, Clinton has lied, stolen, defrauded, threatened and bribed. Her and her husband have transformed the Whitehouse in an airbnb for donors, they have stolen furniture, taken money from terrorists then pardoned them, and covered up countless cases of rape and sexual misconduct. And yet, that fucking spawn of Satan got the popular vote at the last election. Who are the real "low information voters"?
lucm, indeed.
The US is either in first or second place in terms of genorosity and charitable giving. The top European country is the UK, in 8th. The US is actually quite generous, even going so far as to sacrifice thousands of soldier's lives to protect the oil supplies for Japan, China, India, and Europe by fighting wars in the Middle East.

It really burns you that Trump accomplished more in the two months between being elected and taking office than Obama accomplished in eight years, doesn't it? Face it, the Obama years were some of the darkest years the US has ever seen. Trump is already improving things.
What data do you have to the contrary? I posted my sources... And what basic needs do we not take care of? We spend approximately $2.7 trillion a year on social services, for a population of 330 million. Assuming that the bottom 25% are the ones that need help, that's about $32,000 per person. If we're not getting our value's worth for the spending - then it's probably NOT the level of spending but how it's being spent and managed..

He represents the US, especially those marginalized by leftist policies.
Twitter supports and protects racists - by smearing their critics with the "Hate Speech" label.
