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.

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.

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

Trump was “only” found liable for sexual abuse. In that case, it’s no problem making him POTUS.
What is wrong with this country? 🤦♂️

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.

And if militias break the law, Trump can pardon them.

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

Imagine being a US senator and thinking nominees for high office need no vetting.

The Trump administration will be full of people who in any sane world could never dream of holding such high office.

I don’t like the precedent Biden is setting here, but don’t think for a second that if Biden had kept his word and refrained from a pardon that it would have influenced Trump’s future behavior in any way.
