Meanwhile, Trump intensifies groping of America

Was it his recent anti-Hillary tweet storm, childishly bashing his former rival again and again for joining Jill Stein’s recount effort, the bitchy little hissy fit coming, this time, not from a boorish reality-TV imbecile, but from the imminent leader of the free world, the most powerful human on the planet, the president of these newly doomed United States – thus reconfirming Trump’s grievous incapacity to “pivot” to something remotely more mature and respectable as we lurch toward apocalypse inauguration? Is it the heartbreaking letters from large teams of NASA scientists – and the other one signed by more than 2,300 very concerned scientists across all disciplines – decrying Trump’s promised annihilation of all international climate accords and research, including Nasa’s long-standing, enormously valuable, deeply respected Earth Sciences division?

[Stripping the division of all funding] would mean the elimination of Nasa’s world-renowned research into temperature, ice, clouds and other climate phenomena. Nasa’s network of satellites provide a wealth of information on climate change, with the Earth science division’s budget set to grow to $2bn next year. By comparison, space exploration has been scaled back somewhat, with a proposed budget of $2.8bn in 2017.

Bob Walker, a senior Trump campaign adviser, said there was no need for Nasa to do what he has previously described as “politically correct environmental monitoring”.

What about Trump’s nonsense pule that Hillary actually didn’t win the popular vote (by a record 2.5 million humans, and counting), but rather, due to a completely baseless, reference-free lie he found on a racist fake news site somewhere, he actually won it, but all those millions of votes for him weren’t fairly counted, even here in California?

It’s all kinds of ridiculous. Except that it’s not. Except, much like the mountains of fake news his numb followers believed pre-election without giving a damn for credibility, millions of his acolytes appear to believe him, based on nothing but bloviated BS propaganda.
