Federal funding for scientific research was already in turmoil.

Rep. Zoe Lofgren, D-Calif., the ranking member of the Science Committee, said in a statement, “This is the latest stupid move made by a president who continues to harm science and American innovation. The NSB is apolitical. It advises the president on the future of NSF. It unfortunately is no surprise a president who has attacked NSF from day one would seek to destroy the board that helps guide the Foundation. Will the president fill the NSB with MAGA loyalists who won’t stand up to him as he hands over our leadership in science to our adversaries? A real bozo the clown move.”

        The dems really screwed the pooch with that one. If it had been a flipped ticket, trump would have lost by a landslide.

        A black man being president is what started the MAGA movement, the US is still far too racist and sexist to have a black female president.

        Its bullshit, but it’s reality.
