These fucking freaks really are absolutely intent on dragging us back to the dark ages.

Trump: We can't let China surpass us in science and technology!
Also Trump:
American Conservatives: China is an enemy nations bent on destroying us!
Also Conservatives: Votes for man with campaign promise to systematically destroy America.
"China can't surpass anything if we don't have anything for them to surpass. 7d chess moves ahoy! Shart Of The Deal" {taps temple}
Trump vowed to replace all the members and rename the board to the National Shit Someone Posted To The Internet Board
Call me crazy, but I don't think the president should have the ability to fire all of these supposedly apolitical positions. The president should be walled off from those kind of decisions specifically to prevent the office from being able to hand out positions based on political loyalty and bribes. But maybe I'm just a kooky go nuts crazy guy.
Call me crazy, but what a stupid political system that puts the entire executive in the hands of one person.
We historically called those people Cesar, or Emperor, or King, and in Africa they call themselves President. I like to think he is more of a Robert Mungabe because of the ethnic cleansing, incompetence, and scapegoating with crimes against peace & humanity. Americans should start learning about Zimbabwe's history. There will be no outside force to occupy America and prevent lawlessness.
Isn’t that the whole problem here? We have all these walls to limit authoritarians, fascists, royalists but are discovering how easily they shatter when someone has no shame, no morals, no allegiance to anyone but themselves ignores their existence. We have this system of checks and balances to keep fascists in place, but are discovering how quickly they abdicate their responsibility and how symbolic that defense is
Everyone should know the 14 points of fascism, in this case its #11.

11. Disdain for Intellectuals and the Arts
Fascist nations tend to promote and tolerate open hostility to higher education, and academia. It is not uncommon for professors and other academics to be censored or even arrested. Free _expression in the arts is openly attacked, and governments often refuse to fund the arts.
I genuinely don't think the next election will happen.
If there is any way trump can achieve that, he will.
This last decade has driven home the fact that America isn't a "rule of law" so much as "prevailing norms that mainly get broken on the quiet" type of country.
Well that seems like the next logical step if today's "assassination" doesn't bring up his polling numbers.
WW3 will only occur if the US attacks a country that is capable of actually hitting the mainland.
Unfortunately, too many other Americans think it will, and by the time they realize it won't it'll be even more too late.
Guess who's speedrunning to the stone age.
That's not fair the people back then where trying to innovative and grow, nothing like whatever the us is doing.
Once US is back in stone ages they will innovate. For the second term it is merely the dark ages.
Well I hope they use the correct sacred oils when trying to make the railgun on the USS stupid name work. Do you think they will pray to the machine or to the Donald?
This administration would fuck up and pray to The Deciever.
Is this what he faked an assassination attempt to distract the news cycle from?
They were about to prove, using science, that the second assassination attempt was a fake.
Yep. Not big surprise. I'll keep my books and be sure to share them with those who wish to continue to do proper science. I didn't trust the government before the orange, now I know that I'm dealing with the mentality I'll and will treat them as such.
Depending on what happens in 2028, it will take years, if not decades, to recover from this. Fuck RFK jr with his worm and racoon penis.
I don't know why people take it as a given that the US has to recover. Seems much more likely that the US is just another failed experiment in ways to organize human society that's destined to collapse.
Why this sort of news is so under resported. It’s a lot of things happening weakening America in so many ways that are so under reported.
How people so called patriots don’t see that?
Even that makes no sense. Public taxes were paying for science that is then exploited for free by businesses. It's pure stupidity.
Yeah I think the next generations will build something else and better, if we don’t destroy it completely.
The biggest loss in the end will be the creative arts and entertainment I guess. The rest isn’t unique to the US, others will fill those holes. As for the empire that really depends where you stand; it offers no protection for many.
I’m now willing for my country to take its chances in a new world and cut some ties. I want AUKUS and the ANZUS treaty scrapped. It’s not just a few politicians and billionaires that are the problem, the country can’t be trusted now. They’ll do it all again.
The next generations are going to suffer tremendously for the loss of American culture, science, industry, and empire.
Personally; I Would celebrate the eradication of America's empire. Sadly i think the imperial part is the one still heavily funded and guarded; They will dismantle everything else.
Woah don't be too based or someone will call you an antinatalist and hit you with the "then you should just kill yourself."
Fascism doesn't want education or truth. It just wants loyalists who follow the fascist doctrine
So that's what the shooting was a distraction from
The USA is killing itself and everyone is just shrugging.
72% of Republicans think the US is going in the right direction. They are not just shrugging, they are applauding.
It is pretty clear at this point that almost nothing Trump could do would lose their support. How can the US ever work if Republican voters are so utterly detached from reality? It is likely a symptom of corrupt media.
Honest question: does he have the authority to do this? Not that it changes anything in the immediate term, just wondering if this is yet another move that will eventually be undone by the courts.
He didn't have the authority to do half the stuff he has. Why should this be any different?
"... Will the president fill the NSB with MAGA loyalists who won’t stand up to him as he hands over our leadership in science to our adversaries? A real bozo the clown move."
Laying it on the line for Pedophile President Drink Bleach.
I hate Trump as much as most people, but Zoe Lofgren is quite literally one of the most corrupt of the congressional class. She has been in office for decades and enriches herself through silicon valley tech donations...
A real bozo the clown move.
Trump: I'm not even supposed to be here, I hope I don't jack off!
