The brain drain in the US has begun and it is going to be devastating. China will own us within 5 years easily!

1,000,000 mil. for military

Surely having less of the world’s top international students studying and sharing their unique brain power here in America will help…. Oh.

The GOP is basically the political representatives of a criminal mob boss and part-time US president whose loyalties are to Vladimir Putin, MBS and anyone else who shovels lots of money to him

He’s so afraid of smart people because he’s so fucking stupid.

Why should anyone care about global economic and geopolitical competition with China?

The other thing you notice, of course, is that we were already spending a pathetically tiny amount on funding basic scientific research we touched the stove, given that the federal budget is $6.8

They call their strategy the King Canute ploy.

The problem with scientists is that they keep coming to conclusions that don't comply with official GOP policy.
If you want funding, you have to get with the program and produce the results that Herr Musk requests.

the gop doesn't want to compete with china, they want to destroy china militarily but are waiting in the meantime because they see a fellow traveler in xi as an autocrat

How to tell the difference between an idiot and a foreign agent in the White House? Turns out, you can’t.

Or the family friendly party, or concerned with the deficit, or the law and order party, or trickle down economics champions…

I never want to hear again, in my lifetime, ANYTHING positive about the GOP. They are just destroyers.
