More incompetency as the US's do-nothing, no-nothing, commandeer-in-chief lets America's standing as a leader in science slide.

Haven't you figured it out yet? This is what he meant by 'draining the swamp'.

Happy Thanksgiving!

With the help of data-tracking service SafeGraph, Chen and Rohla traced the movements of more than 10 million Americans across the past two Thanksgiving holidays. They focused specifically on people who traveled from Republican-leaning areas to Democratic-leaning areas and vice versa, and found that politically divided families spent on average 20 to 30 minutes less time around the dinner table in 2016 than they did in 2015. That added up to a loss of 62 million person-hours of Thanksgiving time across the country—and specifically, the authors estimated, a loss of “27 million person-hours of cross-partisan Thanksgiving discourse.”

That's probably the most dubious of statistics, but I like it anyway!

[Brian Peacock]

62% of all statistics are wrong, but of those only 46% are wrong all the time.

[pErvinalia]

You're not wrong!

Il Douche is a patently ignorant, information-averse chowderhead and many of his supporters are of the same ilk. Then there are useful idiots who still think that he'll 'get things done.' The reality is that his administration is unequivocally doing harm to the United States in a wide spectrum of ways. The Thiel apparatchik who's been installed in the Office of Science and Technology Policy could help move things forward, though, with a 'different' approach to science.

'Peter Thiel Funds "Unethical" Offshore Herpes Vaccine Trial'

Defying U.S. safety protections for human trials, an American university and a group of wealthy libertarians, including a prominent Donald Trump supporter, are backing the offshore testing of an experimental herpes vaccine.

The American businessmen, including Trump adviser Peter Thiel, invested $7 million in the ongoing vaccine research, according to the U.S. company behind it. Southern Illinois University also trumpeted the research and the study’s lead researcher, even though he did not rely on traditional U.S. safety oversight in the first trial, held on the Caribbean island of St. Kitts.

Neither the Food and Drug Administration nor a safety panel known as an institutional review board, or IRB, monitored the testing of a vaccine its creators say prevents herpes outbreaks. Most of the 20 participants were Americans with herpes who were flown to the island several times to be vaccinated, according to Rational Vaccines, the company that oversaw the trial.

“What they’re doing is patently unethical,” said Jonathan Zenilman, chief of Johns Hopkins Bayview Medical Center’s Infectious Diseases Division. “There’s a reason why researchers rely on these protections. People can die.”

The risks are real. Experimental trials with live viruses could lead to infection if not handled properly or cause side effects in those already infected. Genital herpes is caused by two viruses that can trigger outbreaks of painful sores. Many patients have no symptoms, though a small number suffer greatly. The virus is primarily spread through sexual contact, but also can be released through skin.

The push behind the vaccine is as much political as medical. President Trump has vowed to speed up the FDA’s approval of some medicines. FDA Commissioner Scott Gottlieb, who had deep financial ties to the pharmaceutical industry, slammed the FDA before his confirmation for over-prioritizing consumer protection to the detriment of medical innovations.

And yet many Trump supporters are anti-vaxers...

Beautiful Invisible planes
Trump told the service members on Thursday that the Air Force was “ordering a lot of planes, in particular the F-35 fighter jet, which is, you know, almost like an invisible fighter," according to a pool report.

"I was asking the Air Force guys, I said, how good is this plane?" Trump said. "They said, well, sir, you can't see it. I said, yeah, but in a fight -- you know, a fight -- like I watch in the movies -- they fight, they're fighting. How good is this?"
"They say, well, it wins every time because the enemy cannot see it. Even if it's right next to it, it can't see it," Trump said. "I said, 'That helps.' That's a good thing."

We’re winning!! Not like an Obama win, but a really terrific Trump win:

"What you are doing with ISIS is again being talked about -- with armed forces, we're really winning. We know how to win, but we have to let you win. You weren't winning before. They were letting you play even. We want to let you win," Trump said, referencing the Obama administration.
