It's a 100% fact that we didn't get to vote on the Clown Posse Trumpy calls his administration that is now systematically dismantling America.

"Whoops! With all the staff cuts we missed that Cat 5 heading for Mara Lago! Sorry Donald."

Sincerely,
The last few meteorologists at NOAA after the Fool in Chief fied most of them.

ouch ouch ouch...the stupid burns from way over there :(

I'm guessing you MAGAt clowns want to "elect" administrators to run departments made up of actual SMEs and scientists.

These administrators will be ignorant misinformed clowns based on what your current god king has proffered...

And they will fire the actual scientists, because of course they will.

The rest of the world will continue to advance, and the US will turn into the third world potty it was destined to.

I'm sure that this of no concern to the MAGA population in Texas, Okiehomie, Missoura, Southern Illinois (pronounced: Northwest Kentucky) and Indiana, where tornadoes are apt to visit, upon short notice...
