I haven’t seen it mentioned here, but it’s going through my Facebook feed (FWIW) that he’s placed a gag order on not just science departments but on all federal agencies. Anybody know if this is true? I have some Facebook friends who work for various agencies and have created new FB pages with pseudonyms but even then they’re keeping their heads down after posting that they need to keep their mouths shut.
If this is true, it’s as scary as all the rest, if not more so.
From a friend of mine, who is co-author of a book with the person who sent him the following:
"So I work at the EPA and yeah it’s as bad as you are hearing:
The entire agency is under lockdown, the website, facebook, twitter, you name it, is static and can’t be updated. All reports, findings, permits and studies are frozen and not to be released. No presentations or meetings with outside groups are to be scheduled.
Any Press contacting us are to be directed to the Press Office which is also silenced and will give no response.
We are still doing our work, writing reports, doing cancer modeling for pesticides hoping that this is temporary and we will be able to serve the public soon. But many of us are worried about an ideologically-fueled purging and if you use any federal data I advise you gather what you can now.
Feel free to copy and paste, you all pay for the government and you should know what’s going on. I am posting this as a fellow citizen and not in any sort of official capacity."
Have you been in a coma while he was assembling his cabinet? He is fertilizing the fucking swamp and adding stagnant water.
Yes, I have. Please expand on your thoughts, etc. Thank you.

I wanna feed it! I wanna feed it! That “Ogunga” was like a hook with a tasty treat on it!

Can someone please explain to me why just about every single republican to join this forum has the IQ of a fucking mashed potato? Like, it’s uncanny. Where the fuck are the smart conservatives? Surely they must exist, yet for some reason the only people who are willing to post here are fucking retards like this jackass, who apparently don’t get that experience matters at high-ranking state department posts, and that replacing positions like that is really hard , and that inserting clueless numpties to important department positions doesn’t make things better .
Whenever any of you are upset, just browse this Twitter account that retweets people who regret voting Trump: https://twitter.com/trump_regrets?lang=en

Remember that old movie “Revenge of the Nerds”? Well, this election has been the opposite: Revenge of the Morons. And the whole country has to suffer the consequences.
One reason, I suspect, is that we’re being repeatedly served the same potato on a new paper plate.

“Hi, I’m gopachok and the very first thing you should know about me is that I’m an utter flaming asshole. Go Trump!”
Well, that was fun while it lasted!
It’s easy to see why people wouldn’t know Trump is an narcissistic ignoramus given America’s famously short election season.
He. Just. Cannot. Let. it. Go.
President Donald Trump, angered over a National Park Service retweet comparing his inaugural crowd size to Barack Obama’s in 2009, called the acting director of the National Park Service on Saturday to complain, two sources with knowledge of the call...
Trump called Michael T. Reynolds, acting director of the National Park Service, to express anger over the fact the National Park Service’s official Twitter account retweeted a message that negatively compared the crowd sizes at the two inaugurations.
Apparently the Deputy press Secretary has the patter down already:
Sanders said the call proves Trump “is so engaged, he is so involved and when he sees a problem, he takes action to fix it.”
“If he sees an issue, he is going to take action and do something to fix it,” Sanders said.
It just boggles my mind…this should have been worth a few snarky comments for a day or so on Facebook/Twitter and then filed in the back archives, but he keeps coming back to it again and again.
I have resisted the easy way people (with no experience in the matter) have diagnosed him as having a disorder, but this…well, obsession is the only word I can use to describe it…is making me wonder.
What we really need is a “How has President Trump pissed you off this hour?” thread.
Well, you can POST hourly, if you want to.
There’s nothing quite as fun as proposing a ruinous tariff for one of our biggest trading partners: http://www.cnn.com/2017/01/26/politics/donald-trump-mexico-import-tax-border-wall/index.html

There are at least 20 rogue Twitter accounts for various agencies posting now. I’ve seen them doing things like coordinating getting things from the EPA and other sites backed up to the Internet Archive before they get wiped.
I’m playing that Trumpian 3D chess thing with them.
One down one to go.

Revenge of the Morlocks, you mean. It doesn’t pay for the Eloi to become complacent.

Also how covert he was with that shit throughout the campaign, or indeed his entire career.
