Trump Dictatorship and All Things Politics

This will definitely help the working class slob. They should just take ivermectin and stick flashlights up their asses to cure cancer. We don’t need none of that stickin science stuff in America these days

Wait I was reassured many times on this very website that Trump had nothing to do with project 2025. Did he lie?

Well, in trumps defense, his lips were moving when he denied his ties to project 2025 so it's not really his fault he was lying. It's the moving of his lips that's to blame for the lying. Not trump though.

Good movie everyone should check out. The lead actor has been nominated for an Oscar.

Donald Trump called 'The Apprentice' a 'hatchet job.' Now, Sebastian Stan is an Oscar nominee for his portrayal of the president.

Sebastian Stan's turn as Donald Trump earned him a Best Actor nomination at the 2025 Oscars. It couldn't have come at a more interesting time.

Cancer. Cancer is big. I wonder if this is Project 2025?

This is to finally address the reproducibility crisis that everyone has known about and no one has fixed. Trump's nominee to head the NIH, Dr. Jay Bhattacharya, had vowed to tackle this issue head on.

NAS Welcomes Nomination of Dr. Jay Bhattacharya to Lead NIH by National Association of Scholars | NAS

www.nas.org

"We believe he will provide strong, reforming leadership for the NIH—which is in strong need of reform. NIH, like the other federal agencies whose powers are informed by scientific research, does not operate according to the best scientific principles of transparency and reproducibility. We strongly urge Dr. Bhattacharya to make a priority of bringing best scientific practices to the NIH. ... NAS has documented precisely how the irreproducibility crisis has distorted government policy"

This issue is not a right wing conspiracy.

‘An Existential Crisis’ for Science: Institute for Policy Research - Northwestern University

In its most basic sense, the replication crisis refers to a pattern of scientists being unable to obtain the same results previous investigators found. At its most expansive, the crisis threatens the scientific enterprise itself, leading to questions not just about research practices and...

1,500 scientists lift the lid on reproducibility - Nature

Survey sheds light on the ‘crisis’ rocking research.

The research coming from these NIH grants has been worthless. We've been paying out billions and getting back useless garbage. Scientists are generating papers, but when the results are double checked by another team, nothing matches. The science has either been faked or done so poorly as to be a waste of time. Taking a pause to weed out the criminals and incompetents gaming the system will do nothing to delay a cure for cancer. If anything, it will speed it up as researchers will know they are building on good science, not some grant scam.

Can anyone tell me what Trump, the blue collar worker president, has done for the working class slob?

Negotiated a ceasefire in Gaza and got hostages released. Reduced the institutional racism in the Federal government. Rounded up and deported 308 illegal aliens who had committed rape, child molestation, and/or felony assault. Shifted the political climate so significantly that even Democrats voted in favor of the Laken Riley Act. Presented an ultimatum to Putin to end the war in Ukraine. Put the Houthi back on the terror list. There is a shocking number of positive actions that have happened in only one week.

I don't know what the constitution says about non consecutive terms or if it even says anything about the topic.
Might be some wording that could be misconstrued or something.

Yeah I checked. It's baked into the constitution. It would need a full-on amendment to change and that's actually what they submitted. But then it would take ratification by the states and I think that requires a 2/3 majority or something. It'll never happen.


Edit: I should have kept reading this all got answered above.

To be fair, I haven't been raped or murdered by an illegal immigrant recently released from an insane asylum while on my way to the store to buy bread. Not even once. And my dog and neither of my cats have been eaten by immigrants either.
Thanks trump

Funner fact, never happened to anyone else either. At all.

But has anyone snuck a sex change operation in on you?

Yes, twice!

I don't think there will ever be another amendment in my lifetime

Yes, twice!

“With a ******* I came from my mother's womb, and with a ******* I will depart. The Lord gave, and the Lord has taken away, then the Lord gave it back; may the name of the Lord be praised”

That's an interesting censor. "Shh long"

It's almost as if the person that Bernie was speaking to is completely unable to say the words yes or no.

But I mean the first question was so insane that's it's hard to fathom that any president would even think of doing. Of course, trump is that president that will do it.

The richest in our country are richer than ever before. The income gap is wider than ever before. So of course trump wants to take money from a program that helps the poor and use that money to pay for tax cuts for the richest in our society. That is insane and shouldn't be allowed yet I'm almost certain that it's going to happen. Smh

Haven’t heard any complaints from MAGA World. Since MAGA is strongly anti-science, I wouldn’t expect much, if any. Taking decisions regarding science out of the hands of science. RFK Jr. must be salivating at the thought of being installed at HHS….

Grant reviews have been suspended at the NIH. This could be an omen.
