There still is a John Birch Society? Where do they find Communists to hate on?
Same place they always did. Everywhere.
Under rocks. In the State Department. On McCarthy’s list.
Plenty of Commies today.
I think they’ve switched to saying the Russians are the Best Thing Ever, and they have always been our friends.

1984 seems rather quaint, these days, don’t it? A bit like steampunk.
At least we got to appreciate it when it was a horrifying vision of the future, rather than a boring historical novel.
Here’s a scary piece that tells you not only how nutty Michael Flynn is, but also his team: Scariest Thing About Trump: Michael Flynn’s Team of Nutters
Trump’s budget director pick: “Do we really need government-funded research at all”
This sounds like a SNL sketch, but sadly, it isn’t.
Much more detail at the link.
Well, call me crazy, but when science isn’t sure about something, isn’t that one of the reasons why you DO the research? <scratches head> Especially when the lives and health of real people are at stake?
Anti-intellectualism has found a home in the Trump Administration.

I’m beginning to watch this unfolding with both sarcasm and amusement.
Trump is no longer interested in “draining the swamp” according to Newt Gingrich when asked about the term:
“I’m told he now just disclaims that. He now says it was cute, but he doesn’t want to use it anymore."
You want the swamp drained? You can’t handle the swamp draining. No swamp-drainer, you. Bah! I deride your swamp draining abilities!
Just like “lock her up”. Basically, he’s repudiated the principles on which he was elected, with a “just kidding.”
It won him the Presidency. Insistent that he stand by past slogans and actually pursue policies his voters favored? Sad.
His supporters are still chanting “lock her up” at his rallies. It’s like these people want to be lied to. I bet he could start re-enrolling for Trump University and make a fortune.
Trump Names Peter Pudd’nhead Navarro to Head House National Trade Council. Here is what’s comming down the road.
Oh yeah, and Billionaire Carl Ichan tapped as Trump’s regulatory adviser. It’s gonna be Fun Fun Fun…
I swear when I first read that article’s first sentence, "Now that he has written a new chapter in American politics, Donald Trump is about to rewrite the economic textbooks on the way to a renewed American prosperity, " I thought, “Oh…Here is someone criticizing Trump…so where does he mention this Navarro fellow you’re talking about?”
It is only after reading a little further that I realized that first sentence was meant as praise, not insult, and that the author was Navarro! Now I am seeing why it is so difficult to come up with satire of these people that is actually distinguishable what is being satired.
As a lifelong St. Louisan, let me say, FUCK CARL ICAHN! FUCK HIM AND ANYONE WHO ASSOCIATES WITH HIM. MAY HE DIE MISERABLE AND ALONE!
Seriously, fuck that guy.
