I see that a #ScienceMarch is being planned for April.
The organisers for this can go fuck themselves in the most uncomfortable of fashions. They reckon they will get 800,000 people marching.
IN reality it will be handful of left wing scientists, s larger bunch of climate scientists and the rest will the usual sore losers that turn up to every anti Trump moan fest.
What gives them the right to have an anti Science march and smear science with the reputation of being nothing but political bullshit.
If they want to march about climate change.. go ahead.. if they want to march for vaccinations.. go ahead.. I might even join them on that one. But dont fucking project yourself as marching for science. Fucking twats. They are marching for themselves and their political; views, nothing more. Dont sully the name of science en masse because you cannot handle losing.
Every single US president has ignored scientific advice. Every single one. Usually when it is politically or economically expedient.
Just like the womens march was not a womens march.. it actually march for women who like support abortion and hate Trump. This Science march is not a march for science.. it is a vanilla march against Trump.. and a massive exercise in virtue signalling. "ooh look at me I marched for science.. I am so much more logical and cleverer than Trump supporters". Fuck off.
These ass clowns are going to damage science more than any policy Trump could come up with. -
There's a lot of focus on this thread on Trump.
Not so much focus on how terrible the Democratic party currently is.
Can't beat Trump when your party is in this much trouble. -

It was only a matter of time
I guess it's just one of those things where you have to be first to tell the joke. At least the very end was funny.

@antipodean that was painful to watch. Is that passes as comedy on TV these days?

@antipodean I didn't get to the end

I'm certainly sick of the continual cries of 'fake news!'
Fake news is stuff that is entirely invented for clicks/ratings. If a story is based in fact but debatable that does not make it 'fake'.
By all means dispute the claims, but the shrill cries of 'fake news' every time something that doesn't agree with your take on things comes out is just bullshit.
As an example- the 'Russia Files'. They aren't fake. They exist and good parts are verified publicly. Are news agencies meant to ignore them entirely? If they are credible enough to make it through analysis checks to a high level security briefing then they are far from fake.
Yes, the 'headline act' may end up proved to be false and maliciously reported on, but it wasn't invented by the press.Meanwhile the count of totally non- factual claims from Trump and his cohorts rises by the day.

If I were Trump, I would not pursue the current travel ban EO any further, make the vetting more "extreme" in the interim, get the new Supreme Court justice in as quickly as possible, then resubmit a cleaned up version of the EO - possibly with some love hearts and flowers drawn on it so the 9th circuit like it more.

This is an example of an uppity group really deserving Trump's pimp hand.

A mildly amusing fake Twitter account having Trump as a 9th Century Mercian King.
I like the one about The Venerable Beds being a hypocrite.

A variant of that is likely the plan all along. Much like the "make Mexico pay for it" wall.
They will relax on the green card and existing visa holders for sure.

Haha, really?
From the guy that posts about Trump in pretty much every post, and even mentions him in other threads too.
This is a US Election thread, about a polarising figure that won the election, who else will they focus on?
