Florida wants bombs I guess.
*half bombs
I wonder which half
We're talking about Matt Gaetz, so probably the useless half. Maybe the packaging.
all you need is a fat sharpie...
or maybe some idiot just forgot to turn on the faucet while it was still over the ocean....
with enough bombs they can blow up the next hurricane before it becomes a problem for the people living in florida
A reminder that this is still how they think.
Here's a fact check OF a fact check about Project 2025, something that has been stated recently will gut the National Hurricane Center.
USA Today's fact check of that claim
Now when I first ran across this link, I thought, hmmm...are liberal Youtubers making up stuff to sell their position as a hurricane approaches? Maybe so. Then I read the article and actual text from Project 2025.
Not in the text, this part of the fact check is correct. The text calls for review of it as well as other agencies and downsize or move resources around as needed. But then I see:
Well, that set off some alarm bells in my head. They aren't actively proposing to shut it down, but there does seem to be an agenda here.
I read all this as exactly how MAGA Republicans in power have been treating anything tied to climate change. They aren't completely cutting things out, only the parts that are inconvenient to their agenda. Which of course is terrible science, and will absolutely affect the ability to learn and respond to future threats.
USA Today is a tool for them if they are marking such claims as completely false.
AccuWeather's owner and Republican megadonor Joel Myers has been dreaming for years about destroying the National Weather Service. He wants weather to be a for-profit venture (specifically his profit).
The claim is false and we should absolutely be careful about how we word things but also the outcome will be, as you say, essentially the same.
“…reminder that Project 2025 plans to defund large sections of the NOAA and is more worried about how facts ruin their arguments than the safety of your towns and cities.”
A little longer but at least it’s true.
Using recent history as context for my interpretation of this, I believe what they actually mean is “…should definitely not be presented neutrally, because doing so would rely only on the peer reviewed science which overwhelmingly agrees that climate change is definitely a real thing that is currently happening. Instead, DO adjust it to make it seem like it’s impossible to say for sure.”
Also it’s important to note that NOAA is often used for military purposes. Four of our six military branches (Navy, Air Force, Coast Guard, and the Space Force whatever they do) absolutely and unequivocally depend on their data to do their job, one just relies on it, and the sixth hitches rides on navy equipment.
I’m not the biggest fan of the military industrial complex, but if the oceanic and atmospheric arm of one of the world’s most significant consumers of mined hydrocarbons has been sounding the alarm bells for decades I have every reason to believe them
It's an older
codetweet, but it checks out.Traitorous sexual predator.
Can someone please make me understand how people like Gaetz, MTG and all these very obviously either stupid as fuck, or evil as fuck people keep getting voted in? My brain can't ever wrap around this. Am I crazy or is there more to elections in politics. Like how in the fuck does a man like Ted Cruz keep getting reelected over and over by people?
The uneducated can vote.
Racists vote. Old people vote. Sometimes they're the same person.
One can only guess that there is a large and chronically uninformed body of people that only get their information from the bad guys' personal propaganda machine.
In their districts, they have the right letter next to their names on the ballot. Also, the “own the libtards.”
What else was in the bill?
*edit: 8 or 9 upvotes, downvotes, and no replies. Didn't realize I asked such a polarizing question. Some bills are totally crap. They'll be earmarked to hell. A bill could have "all animal shelters must be non kill" earmarked with "give isreal US nuclear arsenal and the OK to launch them" then when a party votes no on it, the other party screams out "those guys want to kill kittens and puppies!"
So I just wanted to know what else was in the bill.
if the need didnt exist...
