Call your senators and congressmen and give them hell for allowing Trump to destroy American dominance in science.

Trump is actively seeking to destroy American greatness.

One of the ironies is that biomedical research is one area that AI can’t make obsolete. Even a super-intelligent computer would need to perform physical experiments to answer biological questions.

The only possible explanation is that Trump wants to bring America down.

exactly. In fact Trump wants to help our geopolitical rivals.

It all makes sense when you consider the possibility that the Trump administration actually wants to help our geopolitical opponents.

The whole thing is a mockery of justice. Trump deserves jail time like his accomplice Cohen.

This statement alone shows that we elect far too many people whose crude behavior, manner, and language are an affront to the dignity of the office..

Republican efforts to whitewash Trump’s role on J6 are despicable.

I love Clarke, but other than vague intuitions of right and wrong, what β€˜simple basis’ does morality have aside from religion or secular rules ultimately derived from religious notions?

Trump was β€œonly” found liable for sexual abuse. In that case, it’s no problem making him POTUS.

The most improbable event of all was the emergence of a self-replicating system with sufficient fidelity to avoid mutational collapse. Current knowledge cannot account for how such a system could emerge.

McConnell reaps what he has sown. He could have rallied Republican senators to convict Trump, but he chickened out.
