The double standard being applied for Trump’s benefit has to stop.

We talk incessantly about one guy being old and making verbal mistakes … while barely touching on the facts that the *other* guy is also old and making verbal mistakes (a hell of a lot more of them, frankly) *AND* is a psychiatric basket case to begin with???

It’s absolutely absurd. We must make this stop.

The United States is the only major constitutional democracy on Earth that allows lifetime tenure for judges on its highest court.

A bill in Congress, the Supreme Court Tenure Establishment and Retirement Modernization (TERM) Act, would institute term limits of 18 years for Supreme Court justices.

The challenge faced by science in the United States isn’t that scientists are awkward and bad at communication. It’s that we’re beset by propaganda and mass media channels funded by corrupt billionaires to sow confusion.

We need big, generously funded communications channels dedicated to verifiable reality. Scientists who are slightly better at talking isn’t going to cut it.
