    The researchers’ legal team is now asking the judge in the case to skip a trial and formally declare that the White House repeatedly violated the constitution, including the First Amendment. A court hearing on whether that’ll happen is scheduled for Oct. 20.

    Wut. Oct 20th?

    We have absolute proof. Use it now.

    Best I can do is Tuesday. In a few months.

    And dont tell me the court is “backed up”. It wouldn’t be if judges made obvious calls to clear the docket.

      Anti-Intellectualism manifest you mean. Everything Magats don’t understand is perceived as an attack on their imagined superior intellect - the ravings of mad men.

      Maga is simply an conglomerate of everyone who would have been laughed out of the room when they uttered their bullshit. The internet just showed up how many stupid people are out there and gave them a way to connect.

      I didn’t think that the eternal september would end in this shit.

        their imagined superior intellect

        mostly what I’ve run into in real life is a marked, outward dislike for education and expertise. They don’t think they’re smart, just that everyone else is obviously stupid because you don’t buy into their garbage. they genuinely dislike people who appreciate education. they don’t read. at all. it’s pretty amazing.

    keywords related to diversity, gender, vaccine hesitancy and COVID-19 to screen for projects that ran afoul of the Trump administration’s priorities.

    Welcome to the new and improved NAZI USA, where false beliefs beat science, and religious bigotry is considered a virtue.

      The difference is the Nazis were smart and had goals. Not trying to toot their horn, to be clear.

      This is a bunch of leaded-gas drinking buffoons that could never figure out the blinking 12:00 on their VCR, and solved the problem by blowing up a country.

      Bidens government was mediocre.

      This is self-sabotage on an unprecedented scale which threatens the livelihoods of the absolute scientific elite in the country, which already caused them to flee en masse. The damage is already done, the courts can only try to salvage the scraps caused by people who hate everything they don’t understand.
