If you don't see a hurricane coming... does it really exist?

A more active hurricane season is predicted this year. The DoD is shutting down its data delivery program, just when hurricane season is ramping up. trump wants people to die.


In today’s episode of What Are They Thinking: “If you don’t see a hurricane coming… does it really exist?”

🚨 The Dept of Defense is shutting down its weather satellite program. No more data. No more updates. Meteorologists are scrambling—and we’re heading into peak storm season.

Brilliant timing.

He has those press conferences every day so we just have to listen to him.

We will be shit out of luck if the hurricanes happen during the weekend when he's golfing.

And his magic sharpie can tell us when and where the hurricanes are so that he never suffers the embarrassment of being wrong again.

These are real scientists, and real science says that climate change is not only real, it's a big fucking problem which needs to be dealt with decades ago. That conflicts with controlling the message, and controlling the message is a matter of political necessity if you're going to run an autocratic government. If people die they can always blame Democrats.

Rich people will find a way to survive and people who aren't rich are disposable.
