National science will now change course every 4 years.

Projects lasting longer than the current political administration are subject to losing funding and ending prematurely, wasting the previous 4 years of funding.

Fully predictable result of politicizing science. Really, I blame the scientists for it.

Yeah, guess you’ll be right.

The worst time to be a scientist in the US since people got burned at the stake for witchcraft.

You healed my dying cow, with those magic herbs, witch! Off with your head under my giant golden triumph arch!

Imagine someone dictating what you should research about who does not understand how two layers of paint work with each other.

And then starts blaming domestic terrorism on an Olympic athlete who just walked by and tried to figure out how your golf buddy fucked this reflecting pool coating up for 14 Million USD.

And then you realise 56 million people said yes, that’s my man, I want this guy to be in charge of shaping the future of my children. Nobody hates Americans more than Americans.
