A little som’som’ about the Director of Communications of #NOAA who sent out the statement backing up President Bonkers’ hurricane forecast.

[Wounded Bear]

1. Surprise, surprise...

[malaise]

2. Get thee to the greatest page

The Kakistocracy is as naked as its leader, King Con of Israel

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

3. Quelle surprise. He's got his toadies on the inside

of all of these agencies. I knew it couldn't have been one of the real NOAA employees who actually know something about and support the agency they work for.

[lunasun]

4. So much of the government is a trump scam heaven . Rolling in my tax money and telling fibs

to please their benefactor the chosen one is the priority if they know what’s good for them

[Arkansas Granny]

5. That explains a lot. Another Trump ass-kisser.

6. Well, we should have known

that it wasn't an actual meteorologist who did that.

[MontanaMama]

10. I feel better knowing that it wasn't a meteorologist.

I was feeling really let down when the NOAA statement came out...it was worse than the normal ass kissing bullshit we hear about. Jesus if we can’t trust our scientists, we are in huge trouble, right? There’s something about this, however, that isn’t going away....who knew it would be a friggin’ magic marker stunt that would cause so much chaos for the MF.

[2naSalit]

16. I knew it couldn't be.

Even if it were someone with the title(s), they would likely have been previously exposed as a fraud anyway. It's all about believing something and accepting without proof. Because I was abused with religion when I was young, I came to a philosophy of my own that keeps me sane. Goes like this: I believe in nothing. No religious deities or philosophies. I do, however, know a great deal, understand more than I know and am willing to consider anything else whether I agree or not.

Our system of justice is based on belief rather than truth and is often biased toward the victim creating a desire to be seen as the victim regardless of the truth. I hope that is something that will change during this time of exponential social shift we are swirling into.

[sarge43]

24. "....that isn't going away..."

Moron keeps poking at it.

If he had just STFU about "Alabama" or at most had a press release issued about "Early in Dorian's development, some projections could have included the Gulf Coast states blah, blah, blah."

It would have been a one day wonder, then disappeared. But noooo, Moron got out a made up map and THE SHARPIE. Game On, Baby! You do not do comedians and satirists work for them.

And they're still at it. Amateurs assemble.

Still waiting for the documentation supporting this claim. You know, maps, videos, analysis, etc. Not holding my breath.

[Volaris]

28. Yeah, but doesn't make me feel good that even at an otherwise innocuous agency like NOAA,

trump botheres to park an outright bribed-with-the-position fucking lackey...if I wasn't worried about AG Barr before (I was), I sure as hell am NOW...

[Totally Tunsie]

33. ...and then there are his appointments for life on the Supreme Court.

Talk about frightening!

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

7. The first thing on the agenda of the new Democratic president,

whoever that turns out to be, should be to fire every single Trump appointee. Every damn one of them, immediately. They clean out their desks and leave the premises by COB on Jan. 21, 2020. And the very first one whose fat ass is out the door is Bill Barr.

[dalton99a]

13. +1. They must be rooted out similar to the denazification program post-WWII

[SCVDem]

14. Everyone out!

Only people who have passed background checks will be let back in.

All three of you!

[ArcticFox]

17. Only thing wrong with that

Is that it omits having security escort them out

[smirkymonkey]

25. +1000

This cannot be said enough. Trump is a nightmare, but his appointees are silently destroying our government agencies from within. If he is allowed to continue, our system of government will be nothing but a dysfunctional, hollow shell due to the people he placed in those agencies only to destroy them.

[triron]

29. 'It's even worse than you think.'

[underpants]

8. Really? They had to use a red sharpie?

😆

[tblue37]

20. Yes, because all the black Sharpies were being used by Trump toadies to doctor weather maps. nt

[CDerekGo]

9. O.M.G!

Why is she even writing this 'change' if she's NOT a Certified Meteorologist? She's just a paid azz-licker for Dump. I can't see the sun any longer, we're so far down this tunnel!

11. K&R for exposure of corruption

26. "The more people prepare for a disaster, the less government will need to provide."

That statement right there tells me all I need to know about this incompetent lackey.

[Mc Mike]

32. Help yourself, America. We're from the government, and we can do absolutely nothing to help.

We're busy dealing with national security issues by mobilizing brownshirt battalions of ICE agents.

[certainot]

15. they know all they have to do is providde limbaugh and fox with ammo they don't have to

vouch for or qualify - just that NOAA agreed with the president - and that's good enough for 1500 radio stations

[sharedvalues]

23. Yes

18. The trump cult has insinuated themselves into these PR jobs.

Lies are now truth and truth is lies.

19. Inaugural Committee eh?

Maybe she knows where all that Inaugural money disappeared to.

21. This is the sort of thing that is starting to make me reflect.

I looked up Dean A. Heyl of DOL at ProPublica yesterday afternoon.

Director of Communications | $128,000 | Financial Disclosure »

Bio, via LinkedIn:

In August 2017, I was named the Director of Communications for NOAA. My experience in emergency management and crisis communications provides me with the background to carry out this new challenging but exciting job. As people have reminded me NOAA's mission includes from the bottom of the oceans to the surface of the sun. In the first month on the job I've witnessed an eclipse, handled two major hurricanes, a geomagnetic storm, fires in the West, and a few fish stories to round out the month. I look forward to where this new job will take me and the people I will meet along the way. I have over fifteen years professional experience including emergency management, scheduling, event management, international trade, and government relations. My experience in building public-private partnerships includes state and federal government and the private sector. In June 2016, I coordinated a partnership between the Florida Division of Emergency Management, Jet Blue, Airbnb, and Uber to provide resources to the victims and families of the Orlando Shooting Event. For four years I worked in emergency management where my focus was on building a culture of preparedness for families, business and families with special needs. Kids Get a Plan focuses on education children and their families on how to prepare for disasters. I worked with the private sector to build a statewide re-entry program for the private sector after a disaster. The more people prepare for a disaster the less government will need to provide. I spend my free time volunteering to help others including multiple mission trips to Ethiopia, volunteering through the Junior League of Tallahassee, and serving as an Advisor to the Zeta Tau Alpha Chapter at Florida State University for nine years. It is our responsibility to find ways to give back to people to make this a better world.

NOAA staff warned in Sept. 1 directive against contradicting Trump

By Andrew Freedman, Colby Itkowitz and Jason Samenow
September 7 at 8:16 PM

<...>

The official said agency leadership had considered making a statement for “a day or two” to clear up confusion. Acting NOAA administrator Neil Jacobs was involved in drawing up the statement as was the NOAA director of public affairs, Julie Kay Roberts, who has experience in emergency management and worked on the president’s campaign.

The leadership of the Commerce Department, headed by Secretary Wilbur Ross, also approved the release, though Ross was out of the country at the time.
