Moron did what???
Honestly, how the fuck does he even have the power to try to do this? Like, if the president announced he was firing, say, me from my job at the local bookstore, we would laugh and move on with our lives, because he doesn’t have that power. And if the president announced he was firing his own chief of staff, sure, that makes sense. But what’s with him treating apparently the entire federal apparatus as if it’s his own private business and firing people at will, when I should presume there would be an entire multi-level org chart between him and these people that would not give him the power to directly fire them?
When nobody stops you…
IIRC the supreme court recently decided that federal employees had no protections because firing people for partisan reasons is ok even if their performance is fine
Someone should fire them. Out of a cannon preferably.
This. I don’t understand either.
Science promotes facts, and facts as we all know have a liberal bias.
At presstime the White House had not responded to questions from Science about the reasons for the mass firings and any plans to appoint new members.
Authoritarians don’t feel they have to explain themselves.
The reasoning is so obvious it doesn’t need explanation. Science disagrees with a ton of their rhetoric. So science = bad. The way we change that is get rid of all people that know/study science, and replace them with people that will say whatever you want until science becomes what you want it to be.
Climate change is the best thing ever to happen to both earth and humans will be an upcoming headline I’m sure.
You see, they have a budget of 9 Bn $ that cannot reliably send to the pockets of child rapists friends so he needs to put in some yes men.
Stupid never liked what it didn’t understand.
