@hittitezombie @AkaSci

Reality keeps getting in the way, so obviously anyone who sides with Reality on any matter has got to go.

@AkaSci He's mentioning more science so the only thing I can think of is safety

Pretending Jared was qualified to invest $2B for MbS has bought him American service members to put at risk. Jared’s conflict here could lead direct to American deaths, even before you consider he is painfully stupid.

TSA agents: unpaid, understaffed, pushed to the brink.

ICE agents: deployed into airports anyway.

If this were really about safety, they’d fund the people trained to do the job.

This isn’t security – it’s intimidation.
I still can’t believe this is real. Trump is giving a French company $1 billion in our taxpayer funds to scrap their wind farms.
