Best case: The President of the United States knew about a pedophilia ring and did nothing to stop it.
Medium case: He also used his office to protect the perpetrators.
Worst case: Because he was one of the perpetrators.

In the century leading up to 1975, nearly 6000 freighters went down in the Great Lakes.
The Edmund Fitzgerald was the last.
The last. In 50 years, not a single commercial freighter has been lost in the Great Lakes.
Why?
It's NOAA. Of course it's NOAA.

It's unheard of! We went out to do a final cleanup of our "extra" garden (the one gifted to us for use by our 96 YO neighbor), and there were so many still viable tomatillos! I scooped all of the good ones up as we tore out the plants. Now cooking into Chile Verde!

I'm deeply upset about this, yet another Trump-fomented death for science in the public good. Hurricanes, tornadoes, now earthquakes.
