People tweeting stuff. We allow tweets from anyone.
RULES:
Can someone please make me understand how people like Gaetz, MTG and all these very obviously either stupid as fuck, or evil as fuck people keep getting voted in? My brain can't ever wrap around this. Am I crazy or is there more to elections in politics. Like how in the fuck does a man like Ted Cruz keep getting reelected over and over by people?
A reminder that this is still how they think.
Here's a fact check OF a fact check about Project 2025, something that has been stated recently will gut the National Hurricane Center.
USA Today's fact check of that claim
Now when I first ran across this link, I thought, hmmm...are liberal Youtubers making up stuff to sell their position as a hurricane approaches? Maybe so. Then I read the article and actual text from Project 2025.
Project 2025 "does not call for the elimination of" the National Hurricane Center, Heritage Foundation spokesperson Ellen Keenan told USA TODAY.
Not in the text, this part of the fact check is correct. The text calls for review of it as well as other agencies and downsize or move resources around as needed. But then I see:
Data collected by the department should be presented neutrally, without adjustments intended to support any one side in the climate debate.
Well, that set off some alarm bells in my head. They aren't actively proposing to shut it down, but there does seem to be an agenda here.
Project 2025 accuses NOAA of "climate alarmism" and calls for it to be "broken up and downsized.β "That is not to say NOAA is useless, but its current organization corrupts its useful functions," the playbook says of the agency.
I read all this as exactly how MAGA Republicans in power have been treating anything tied to climate change. They aren't completely cutting things out, only the parts that are inconvenient to their agenda. Which of course is terrible science, and will absolutely affect the ability to learn and respond to future threats.
USA Today is a tool for them if they are marking such claims as completely false.
The claim is false and we should absolutely be careful about how we word things but also the outcome will be, as you say, essentially the same.
ββ¦reminder that Project 2025 plans to defund large sections of the NOAA and is more worried about how facts ruin their arguments than the safety of your towns and cities.β
A little longer but at least itβs true.
Florida wants bombs I guess.
all you need is a fat sharpie...
or maybe some idiot just forgot to turn on the faucet while it was still over the ocean....
with enough bombs they can blow up the next hurricane before it becomes a problem for the people living in florida
It's an older ~~code~~ tweet, but it checks out.
