Have republicans actually ever done anything that hasn't been absolute dog shit decision?
Many of them have died
Not enough :(
yeah but it doesn't count when it takes that long.
too little too late
Technically they made the EPA, which I guess they decided was a bad idea.
Yes, but not since the days of Goldwater
Watching every organization and person capitulate to this bullshit is exhausting. There’s a real cool word you can use when someone tells you to do something fucking stupid and authoritarian:
The same thing the Trump administration does every time a judge tells them to stop doing something
Do you think Trump respects when someone tells him no? The guy who's been accused dozens of times of rape? He (and any other fascist) speaks and understands only one language: violence.
Just like every other dictatorships, the Trump regime wages war on knowledge and data.
And it's not new either: this started on day one of Trump's "presidency", and it should have been an ominous sign of things to come.
Americans voted for this. What a sad, sad country.
Sounds like a diversion seeing that Trump is in the Epstein files.
Nah, this seems in line with Project 2025 goals.
NASA, please say you destroyed it but instead turned it over to a country who gives a shit about the world. I know there are so few of them but this is such a waste.
I am just amaze at how Americans (and those residing in America) have truly been conditioned and pacified to accept such blatant act of self-harm being inflicted. Never mind the defunding of climate change research, but defunding welfare is really the red line most other governments will never cross. In France, they riot whenever welfare is touched. In Russia, of all places, the only time Putin was seriously challenged by the public was when he announced pension reforms. And then he backed down! A dictator!
Americans have been brainwashed to think free healthcare, unemployment benefits and childcare is bad for them! Not even conservatives in other countries will dare touch the welfare because it is a political suicide! What is happening in the US right now is the culmination of liberal values it was founded on; worshiping the altar of individualism at the expense of the common good.
It's somewhat that, but the key point is the manufactured consent that our biggest corporations prescribe via their media subsidiaries. I'd argue America has the best propaganda in the world. WE'RE #1!!! WOOOO
That documentary about Edward Bernays. The Century of the Self. The episodes are appropriately named too! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Century_of_the_Self
It explains how we are here. Basically after WW2 the leaders embarked on a psychology advertising campaign for Western civilization where it would be too uncomfortable to wage a war again like that without all the comforts of consumerism. America is at the peak of it.
The only way the citizen of America will really push back is when the government collectively takes something from them that lies at or near the base of Maslow's Pyramid. When it gets too uncomfortable. Or else everything is actually fine.
Two factors, probably:
They set the US up to make failure->death the easy fast default option unless you're a proper peasant working the fiefdom.
He does anything to make the Epsein circus go away
He was constantly doing horrible things before the Epstein circus started. This is just what Trump does.
This is why I don’t care about MAGAts. They are enemies of the human species and we should all be preparing to over throw these people when they try stealing the next election.
I am walking 12 miles a day at time just to get my millennial bones in shape. Pushing almost 300lbs on the bench and curling over 145lbs for sets. Get ready people. We need to defend this world.
I bought a shotgun, and once a month aim to do a gunnery drill for 150 shells. It is exhausting and expensive, but should be a good benchmark for the results of my swimming exercises: About an hour and a half of water weights, walking, and swimming. Probably another 20 minutes in the steam and hot rooms. Figure I need enough strength and endurance to patrol and wield a rifle.
If there is a 2nd American Civil War, the good guys will need infantry, and I intend to be part of the ranks. I won't excel, but at least it frees up skilled people to hack, drone, or spy on the MAGATs.
Sell it to the ESA, if it isn't a cover-up.
Would require transferring the relevant ground infrastructure and the people involved or at least their knowledge. Not as simple as one might think. Also ESA would have to allocate funds to it first.
I guess as an American I'm counting on the rest of the world to continue working on problems while we sit here and shit in our own mouths for the next 3.5 years(hopefully just 3.5)
Who would've thought that the bourgeoisie will weaponize climate change and put it against us, the working class? 🤦♂️
If I was in his position and absolutely had to part with the sats, I would SELL or RENT them out. Like how a genuine businessman would. This bull is stupid on all the levels.
I think the intention is to get rid of the data being provided to fix global warming. If the satellite is sold the data would turn up in some fashion eventually.
measuring things is woke
Chat, are we cooked?
literally trying to cook us now
This is some "Don't Look Up" type shit. Can't happen if you don't acknowledge it.
I would say that if presidents are allowed to be this corrupt, no long-term legislation or treaties can possibly be assumed to survive in between presidencies ... except that would imply that the US is still a representative democracy when the reality is otherwise.
I have come to the conclusion that Trump is actually an alien. He is helping to prepare our planet for the arrival of his species by ensuring CO2 levels quickly reach a more tolerable level. It's the only explanation that makes sense.
Honestly, I WOULD prefer him to be some kind of alien super agent. It is a lot less depressing than the alternative.
Don't look up, people.
Sorry Donnie, we're gonna need a really big missile in order to take that down, could you send us some cash to build it?
It's standard procedure to deliberately deorbit satellites that are no longer in use, since the whole program was defunded.
It's not like they are doing this out of spite, they are just doing what they said they would do, which people voted for.
Crazy, but true.
Distraction.
He's on the Epstein list and wants it to be buried under all his other bullshit.
If we don't test for CO2, then no-one can complain that we have high levels of it taps forehead - that's big, beautiful brain thinking right there.
Ah employing the same 500iq strategy as they did during Covid.. if no numbers are reported, then there must be no climate change!
Need to reframe this:
"The satellites measure success of our roaring industry! The higher values, the better."
"You will serve until such a time you are no longer needed".
if nasa really have those laser destroyer sats it's time to aim at the whitehouse
Discussion of climate, how it is changing, activism around that, the politics, and the energy systems change we need in order to stabilize things.
As a starting point, the burning of fossil fuels, and to a lesser extent deforestation and release of methane are responsible for the warming in recent decades:
How much each change to the atmosphere has warmed the world:
Recommended actions to cut greenhouse gas emissions in the near future:
Anti-science, inactivism, and unsupported conspiracy theories are not ok here.
