If there is a 'brain drain' at the EPA, it's going to be disastrous, and not just for the US. Under Obama, wonderful research was going on and experimentation was encouraged in order to preserve the environment through clean energy and conservation. Now, under Trump, scientists are going to flee in droves for jobs elsewhere rather than being forced into providing false data to back up Trump's anti-environmental agenda.

In the past other administrations have given federal agencies (including my former workplace) instructions that made policies 'lean' towards their agenda, but never, ever so blatant as this! And they never planted 'spies' throughout the workforce.

This is Nazi-ism at it's finest. (Sorry for the Godwin's Law violation.)

Sean Spicer - the guy who regularly cites Fox News as evidence - just called Pulitzer-prize winning ProPublica a "left wing blog".

AcrossthePond55 · 04/04/2017 15:31

So who does this (pardon my edits) speech sound like:

"Well, ladies and gentlemen, we're not here to indulge in fantasy, but in political and economic reality. America, America has become a second-rate power. Its trade deficit and its fiscal deficit are at nightmare proportions. Now, in the days of the free market, when our country was a top industrial power, there was accountability to the stockholder The Carnegies, the Mellons, the men that built this great industrial empire, made sure of it because it was their money at stake. Today, management stake in the company Country!'

"I am not a destroyer of companies countries. I am a liberator of them!"

"The point is, ladies and gentleman, that greed, for lack of a better word, is good. Greed is right. Greed works. Greed clarifies, cuts through, and captures the essence of the evolutionary spirit. Greed, in all of its forms, greed for life, for money, for love, knowledge, has marked the upward surge of mankind. And greed, you mark my words, will not only save Teldar Paper, but that other malfunctioning corporation called the USA.

Nope, not Trump. But the person on whom he certainly bases much of his 'persona', Gordon Gecko.

(Now I just hope my edits work!)

Oh yes. I love that tweet by Tony Posnanski. How true that is. And what a ridiculous fanfare they made about his donating this at Spicer's press conference. It was embarrassingly awful.

From the article:

"U.S. President Donald Trump called Putin following the attack and “expressed his deepest condolences to the victims and their loved ones, and to the Russian people.” Trump also offered the “full support” of the U.S. in finding the people behind the attack, according to a White House readout of the call."

of course he did. Hmm They're besties.

I heard this reported on Radio 4 this morning & thought I couldn't remember him phoning our T'resa or expressing condolences to the UK for the recent Westminster attack, only his Tweet the American tourist that was killed. And don't even get me started on the twat that slated Sadiq Khan...
