1. Mother fucking Republicans are destroying America.

[samsingh]

14. imbeciles voted them in

ignoring what they said they were going to do,
or thinking it would only be someone else.

I fear for the world right now.

[Moostache]

28. Your fears are 100% legitimate...

We have a thing nominally in charge of the most destructive arsenal in the combined history of humanity. He is ACHING to detonate nuclear weapons (he fucking said so multiple times in his first failed administration....and yet the morons in this shit hole country somehow saw fit to return him to the office????) - EVERY SINGLE TRUMP voter - SPARE NONE - has blood on their hands already and are going to be bathed in it eventually... fuck those assholes for eternity.

Trump is the symptom, the idiocy of the average American is the disease.
The consequence is a bankrupt and shattered USA (at best) and total nuclear anihilation for all (with just a few things going wrong).

[Mister Ed]

30. Nuclear annihilation possible, climate/environmental disaster certain.

They've pulled out all the stops.

[ImNotGod]

37. I blame the billionaires backing them, the economic terrorists like musk, bezo, the tech bros.

[wnylib]

64. Only right now? I've been fearing for it ever since 2016.

[bdamomma]

69. That someone else

mindset will get them too.

[DENVERPOPS]

29. Thom Hartman's list of destruction

[hadEnuf]

36. This is terrorism.

The American people have a say in this.

[Magoo48]

38. Whenever we pull this national clusterfuck and political sabotage out of the swamp,

Republicans must fall into irretrievable disgrace.

[vapor2]

74. Crimes of humanity?

[haele]

60. DNA MnRA studies COVID Hoax. All those health nuts do are Woke viruses....

That's the way the marginally motivated and bubble residents think.
If "Bubba" or "Chase" can't watch it in action in a short or it can't otherwise be broke down into short sentences, it's some sort of expensive experiment by some elitist or woke snob wasting taxpayer money.
Because, of course, if you can't understand it, those people are just bullshitting you for their own advantage.

And for those religious cultists out there, DNA is really short for "the Devil's Natural Ammunition", a philosophical lie set up to make you doubt the Creator, don't you see?

Sad , ya, I'm looking down at the American MAGA and otherwise useless non-voters out there.

[vapor2]

73. And killing us off (literally)

[yardwork]

2. Everything that made America great is being destroyed.

Our healthcare system is deeply flawed, but our infectious disease prevention, surveillance and response was a model for the world.

All gone.

The danger this puts us all in is beyond comprehension.

[samsingh]

15. maga is really make america not great

[soldierant]

63. Make America Gross.

[BattleRow]

65. Make America Gag Again

[Mister Ed]

32. The foxes have taken over the henhouse.

Pay no attention to the flying feathers, the terrified squawking, and the thin trickle of blood down the chicken ladder. That's just a little temporary pain.

Soon, this drastic reduction in the hen force will mean much greater egg production at a fraction of the cost. Or at the very least, we'll have very, very satisfied foxes.

[madinmaryland]

3. Cue up the next round of lawsuits to be filed

Against the rump administration.

This absolutely insane.

[magicarpet]

4. That is okay,...

... these scientists will just migrate to New Zealand, Australia, Canada, and Europe where their skills and talents will be appreciated.

Team trDUMP's damage to AmeriKKKa has only just begun.

[yardwork]

6. It's not that easy or simple.

A lot of these senior scientists are not going to go someplace else. They are forced into early retirement and there is no pipeline of younger scientists for them to mentor.

There is no easy fix. We're fucked.

[Solly Mack]

5. Some other nation will benefit, and I hope they do. It would be the smart thing to do for them and the scientists.

The Trump Regime wants people to die. They want people sick and ignorant. They want people scared.

Easier to control.

[calimary]

51. THIS!!!

[bdamomma]

70. Solly Mack

That is their goal to have people scared and easier to control, but let's not bend to them.

[Solly Mack]

76. Yes. We can't bend. We can't yield.

[vapor2]

75. 100%

[hlthe2b]

7. The brain drain will be something no western country has ever seen. I know some being terminated at CDC...

and I know others by reputation. The number of deaths that could have been prevented will ultimately reach numbers never seen outside of the 1918 Spanish flu pandemic--approaching those lost in the concentration camps. No, the overt and direct act of pure evil is not there as it was with the Nazis but the scale of deaths we will see in the US over the next decade will be horrific, all the same.

The journal, Nature surveyed its most prolific (publishing) scientists last month and 75% were trying to leave.

[Laurelin]

43. Didn't china have that thing where they purged the intelligentsia?

Sent them off to work on farms as unskilled labor? So it's kind of been done before.

[hlthe2b]

44. I said the worst in Western countries... n/t

[Laurelin]

45. True, sorry

I was honestly trying to remember the cultural revolution, which i haven't studied since high school, not trying to criticize your post. But sorry.

[hlthe2b]

47. No problem... I am reminded of China on this as well.

[TommyT139]

57. Cultural Rev(ulsion)

You are right - and the fact that they are simultaneously attacking universities -- with a separate but synergistic attack on peaceful foreign students on visas -- helps prove your point.

Hit the federal grants, and hit the student population that tends to pay full price -- not many schools will be able to survive. And do you want to bet there are trumpist land magnates ready to snap up some of these prime properties?

[NoMoreRepugs]

8. I had no idea that in 2025 we would be racing back to the 18th century and bloodletting as a cure-all.

[calimary]

53. Are THOSE the "good ol' days" now?

And double-plus bonus: in the 18th century, women were basically property. No voice. No rights. Not even considered. Benefits and self-determination for men only.

[patphil]

9. Chaos is the point of all this.

Create chaos, and then declare martial law and suspend the Constitution.
Trump can pretend he's the only one that can "save" America, even though he's the one who is killing America.
Of course it has the look and feel of an abusive relationship. Use brute force to break the nation, and then rule through threats, intimidation, and violence.
Punish anyone who resists; fear is the method of choice for dictators.

[Harker]

10. The fools are in charge.

Destroying
Our
Government
Entirely

[dlk]

11. It's the Republican race back to the Dark Ages

Their war on science will have long term, devastating consequences and the body count will be high.

[bif]

12. Make America Suck Again!

Nice move shitheads!

[hlthe2b]

13. These professionals put their lives on hold for two solid years of hell during COVID--much like the military

in that Trump et al have nothing but disdain for sacrifice.

We truly are being "ruled" by the worst of mankind.

We are fucked for decades to come, yet so many of our fellow Americans are deluded into thinking otherwise.

[yardwork]

17. I just scanned the Facebook posts of a MAGA relative.

Every post is a complete lie. The opposite of the truth. She believes every Trump lie.

[hlthe2b]

19. I can't help but think that some/many? of us here may not live long enough to see this turn around---

assuming, as I have to, that it will eventually turn around. That thought just takes my breath away.

[yardwork]

25. I know, right?

[shanti]

59. It sort of

Makes me glad that I’m in my twilight years.

[Oneironaut]

16. This country doesn't need science anymore.

The writing on the wall is that we’re becoming a Biblical country that purposely tries to hide real life from the public so that we can indoctrinate extremist Christianity and a lack of reasoning in their minds.

Science and education teach people how to reason and think for themselves. We don’t want that. Everyone must unquestioningly follow religious dogma and not understand history, or, how civics work, so that they can easily be exploited for money and labor.

[Demovictory9]

46. Well said.

[iluvtennis]

18. All because Dr Fauci and the other scientists stood up to the con man and told the truth during the Covid outbreak. It

is nothing but EVIL to destroy people's lives and well being.

May karma bit Don the Con and his administration in their arses.

[Initech]

27. And they're paying the price for not having their lips superglued to his ass. Fuck.

I hate this MAFIA cult that's ruining my country right now.

[newdeal2]

20. Fuck the Republicans in Congress

Most of them know better than this. But they are cowards and won’t lift a finger until it’s too late.

[ShazzieB]

39. I agree.

And I am even angrier at them than I am at Schlump. Collectively, the Republicans in Congress have the power to do something about this, and they are refusing to use it. He needs to be impeached and removed from office. The power to impeach is vested in the House, and the power to convict him and remove him from office belongs to the Senate. And we all know which party controls both the House and the Senate right now.

Schlump is destroying our government and our economy, alienating our allies, and disrupting the structures that have kept the world from descending into the horror of nuclear war for the last 80 years, and those GOP nincompoops in Congress are just letting him do it!

I find it both horrifying and enraging that those nimrods can sit there pretending not to see what's happening, even lying to their constituents about it (to the extent that they communicate with their constituents at all). They've made a bargain with that Orange Hellbeast, literally sold their souls to him, together with all of our futures, and I hate loathe, and despise them for it.

[MorbidButterflyTat]

50. I share your rage

[sop]

41. The Republican party knows this is complete insanity. They could stop it, but are too afraid to do anything.

It's being done just to please the dumbest, least educated and most ignorant MAGA morons, there's no other discernible reason.

[milestogo]

21. MAGA: Morons Are Governing America

[Johnny2X2X]

22. These scientists are some of the best in their field

A lot of research scientists forgo more lucrative careers in the private secrot because they want to work on stuff that will do the most good for society. That's who they're purging, people who sacrificed so they work on cutting edge stuff to best help others.

Disgusting.

[LaMouffette]

23. The gaps in my knowledge of history are enormous, but this seems like China's Cultural Revolution in which they purged

professionals, scientists, and intellectuals, closed all of the schools, and empowered the ignorant.

[orangecrush]

33. Chicken dinner

Nailed it.

[riversedge]

54. NO GAP. you are spot on.

[Grim Chieftain]

24. Another day, another horror

I often wonder about the suicides these mass layoffs are creating. People are losing their jobs, income, health care and security. Many are probably losing their homes, all at a time when prices are increasing, and job prospects are declining.

How long will this be allowed to continue? Is there nothing that can be done to stop this? Of course there are the midterm elections, but the damage that can be done in the meantime is unimaginable.

[Initech]

26. This abomination of an administration is a fucking travesty. They all need to be behind bars.

And they can't have their precious fucking social media megaphones following them around, either.

[Luvcatz14]

31. Other countries are hiring

Germany, France, Canada, etc. I know people who are leaving.

[IronLionZion]

34. Make America Sick and Stupid Again

[orangecrush]

35. Let's all just stand back

And watch it happen.

[Joinfortmill]

40. When we rid ourselves of Putin's Puppet (and we will), we will need to rebuild much of our federal system..

[intrepidity]

56. And increase taxes on the wealthy to pay for it!

Close the loopholes! Go back to 90% tax on corporations!

That is where the problem, and solution, lies.

[mahina]

79. That's going on the fridge. Thank you for this.

Hope abides.

[hadEnuf]

42. This isn't going to stop. We can't continue to delude ourselves that there is a way to bargain with these monsters.

It doesn't matter if the media caves to Trump, he will screw them anyway. Same with the Democrats. They are looking for an excuse, any excuse, to put this country under an emergency order and secure total power. They will do it whether we protest or whether we don't. It will just take longer the second way.

America is under siege.

Trump wants a civil war and we may not have a choice in it. We need to be prepared for that possibility and be able to defend and preserve democracy.

[aggiesal]

48. Making America Greedy Again ...

Taking us back to the robber barons days.
This is all about trying to pay for the Oligarchs tax break.

I would love to see (D)'s win the 2 Florida special elections today.

Maybe this bloodbath being announce today, will change some of those voters decision.

[Wingus Dingus]

49. WE DON'T NEED NO ELITE SCIENCE NERDS! WASTE OF MONEY!!

(says typical MAGA, who are almost certainly confused and conflicted about this but don't want to seem unfaithful to their god Krasnov)

[Dave Bowman]

52. This is fucking anarchy, going back to the dark ages, ffs.

[La Coliniere]

55. The Republican Party is a death cult, plain and simple.

What more proof is needed?

[maxsolomon]

58. Same approach as when Musk took over Twitter.

Just randomly cut staff, make the remaining staff pick up the pieces and figure out a way to do the same job with reduced resources. "Get Lean" or something similar.

Except in the case of USAID, when they've deleted agency and assigned its work to another place.

[Blue Owl]

61. What will be the tipping point to make us all stand up and take our country back?

[Pacifist Patriot]

62. I know people personally involved here.

Getting paid through June 02 to do fuck all until they add to the unemployment numbers.

More incompetence, cruelty, and insanity. The consequences will not be pretty.

[Tree Lady]

66. My son n law who worked for CDC

got his notice today, he knew it was coming.

They lied on form about his performance review giving him lower scores than he got. But as we know law suit will probably do nothing.

He worked on a special task force to try and retain good scientists and doctors so they wouldn't go to private sector. He said his entire job of the last two years was all for nothing.

[mahina]

80. Please thank him for me. It wasn't for nothing.

We had a chance. I could’ve gone differently on the choice not to do. It would’ve ended a path forward before this fire raged.

May we heal and me all the scientists and docs endure

[Tree Lady]

81. Thanks it was going well until these

layoffs. Kyle is a really good guy, he is a retired military officer Lt Colonel and a friend told him about job, it was mostly at home, they live in Texas, but he flew to Atlanta for meetings once a month.

He's been job hunting but a lot are looking and Texas not easy for good paying. People on base said they would hire him civilian job if military freeze came off but that probably won't happen.

[ReRe]

67. K&R

We are on our way!
On our way to becoming a third world country, i.e.

[bmichaelh]

68. RFK Jr has made US weaker

First, I heard many of the researchers are seeking employment in Europe.

Even if the next President is a Democrat, it might take a generation to reverse.

The next discovery may come from Europe and not USA.

RFK Jr and Trump have made this nation weaker

This is terrible from the country of Jonas Salk.

Second, shame on the Senators who trusted RFK Jr.

There is no more
mercy in him than there is milk in a male tiger.
--Shakespeare, Coriolanus 5.4.28-29

[SunSeeker]

71. Fucking disgusting. This is totally illegal. And devastating for our country's health.

[live love laugh]

72. Nothing should be unexpected with the current regime.

[Jit423]

77. My granddaughter is one of them. It is difficult to comfort her and we all are sad and worried how we can make it now.

Our family cannot afford a non-working family but we all will pitch in and stretch those dollars.

[liberalla]

78. ALL of this is SO WRONG!!!
