OBAMA: It's fair to say that 80% of the world's problems involve old men hanging on who are afraid of death and insignificance, and they won't let go. They build pyramids, and they put their names on everything. They get very anxious about it.

Global warming is a "hoax." But it's killing everyone.
Trump to the UN: "Europe loses more than 175,000 to heat deaths every year because the costs are so expensive you can't turn on an air conditioner. What is that all about? That's not Europe. That's not the Europe that I love and know. All in the name of pretending to stop the global warming hoax."

⚠️TYLENOL & AUTISM—RFK Jr & Trump are wrong—the largest best study in the world in 2.5 MILLION KIDS—found no increased autism risk with acetaminophen (aka paracetamol/Tylenol). A crude analysis found only a tiny 5% risk, but once you adjust via sibling controls, the even tiny 5% risk vaporizes to 0%📉

Because of the device’s design (it used a highly enriched uranium primary), large yield, and the low height of the burst, “Canopus” produced a massive amount of highly-radioactive fallout, contaminating nearby atolls and rendering Fangataufa off limits to human beings for six years.

Do you know how insane and infuriating it is to live in a country where one party claims, with media and public support, the mantle of being the ‘tough on crime’ party while its leader openly calls for convicted criminals to be released from prison ‘or else’?

Can I just point out it is totally legal for countries to have their own uranium enrichment capacity and that’s why it’s b.s. when the nuclear industry says civilian nuclear energy is distinct from atomic weaponry.

We warned the choice was between the Iran nuke deal and war. We were called extremists. Now we have been proven right. Trump killed the Iran deal. He and Bibi are to blame for this strike and the start of this war.

Starting to think the play here is to destabilize the regime more than cripple the nuclear program. It’s quite a bet by the Israelis.

its crazy how dominant germany was in science (especially chemistry) in the 19th century, it was basically the international language for scientists, people came from all over the world to train at heidelberg etc, and then....
There are 2 previous historical cases of countries destroying their science and universities, crippling them for decades: Lysenkoism in the USSR and Nazi Germany. The Trump administration will be the 3rd.
It's not just budgets but research, institutions, expertise, and training the next generation.

There's a whole set of stereotypical masculine traits, like having courage, adhering to core moral principles and decency towards others, being loyal to and protective of your friends and family, especially your spouse and children, that you rarely hear on Fox because it would so indict Trump.
