Discussion: WH Bars Intel Agency From Testifying That Climate Change Is 'Possibly Catastrophic'

“the climate change findings in the testimony, coming from government research, did not match the administration’s official stance and thus were inadmissible.

Officially idiot. The Trump admin could declare an Idiot Pride Month and parade all they want.

it’s paramount for the fascistgop that the truth must be suppressed, not only concerning climate change but on every other issue of public importance.

How much of this is just Russia’s (unwitting) Agent Orange gaslighting?

That trump quote is so utterly stupid is makes most of W’s quotes sound like Carl Sagan.

Deny and refuse to allow the utterance of climate scientific facts. Makes it easy to deny and refuse for others to hear other esoteric facts. Makes it easy to deny and eliminate from reality other inconvenient facts.

And, voila! Alternative facts. Alternative reality. Complete fascist control.

Since @civik invoked Tryrion Lannister, perhaps it’s more like his dialog with Jamie about their cousin Orson, who, as a child, was dropped on his head by his nurse.

“Smash duh beetles, smash ‘em, kuh, kuh, kuh”

“Why did he do it?”

Trump is an imbecile and a fraud. I can’t outdo others in derogatory names. But I can say that, from minute one, any bad feelings about Trump on my part have been focused on his enablers. Everyone knows who they are.

Trump, propped up by the above, has a job to do as well…and he does it perhaps better than anyone ever has.

No need to spell this out.

But none of it would have occurred without the enablers.

None.

There is far FAR too little attention placed on Trump’s enablers than Trump. And that is structural malpractice at the highest levels of a number of social institutions. I believe the bulk of THAT has to
do with $$$$$$$$

Denying this guy his right to speak is bad enough, but twiddling your thumbs doing nothing while something “possibly catastrophic” is looming is unconscionable and a dereliction of duty. And the people saying this are our military and intelligence agencies, not exactly hotbeds of left wing activism.

I think you are referring to the GOP.

Stupid fuckers, all of them. Double for the elected. Those creatures speak for thousands of stupid fuckers.

Would this be a good place to also add that the DNC will not only NOT host a climate debate, but will BAN any candidates who take part in any debates about the climate from participating?

Bipartisanship is gonna kill us all, but the profits will be impressive.
