OMFG - he's appointing Sean Duffy as NASA

[malaise]

Administrator. It’s all farce.

1. True but at this point no serious candidates would consider joining

the Trump Administration.

2. Good point

7. My dad loved HMS Pinafore

Played it on the Grundig on Sundays 😀.

14. I love it too!

We put on a production of it when I was in summer camp. I can't believe I remembered all the words to that song!

This post gave me to resolve to watch Gilbert and Sullivan instead of taking meds to ameliorate my angst over current events. As a mature adult I can appreciate it much better than when I was a preteen kid.

4. great - a moron in charge of NASA

Sean Duffy engaged in climate change denial[69] on Fox Business in 2024, saying:

If you say the climate's changing, is it coming from CO2 or is it coming from the sun? Where is – why is the climate changing? And then you would say, let's have a rigorous debate about what is causing it, or what are all the factors that bring us to climate change? And when you have the left that says "we're gonna shut down alternative science or science that challenges our narrative," I think it makes people go "maybe there is a different set of priorities here as opposed to climate change, maybe it actually is an agenda of control."[70]

6. Karl Marx said history repeats itself, "the first time as tragedy, the second time as farce."

The first Trump Misadministration was tragedy, the second is pure farce.

9. Is this during all his free time as Secretary of Transportation or instead of?

U.S. Secretary of Transportation Sean Duffy seen stripping and dancing naked in resurfaced footage from 'The Real World.'

Will he still be Secretary of Transportation?

[hatrack]

13. Hey, why not? He probably watched Lost In Space reruns as a kid.

He's probably flown commercial - he could be Secretary of the Air Force as well.

Why not? It's all reality TV anyway.

11. Wait! You mean appearing on The Real World isn't preparation for the real world? Who knew?

17. Nicely played

12. Love Rolling Stone: "Man Afraid to Ride Subway Named Head of NASA"

Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy, who has vehemently described the New York City subway as a hellscape, has been named to oversee NASA — putting him in charge of rocket ships that are far more dangerous than public transit.

16. Well what NASA does is kind of like transportation only its in outer space.

And since Duffy knows nothing about anything except kissing Trump's butt, he is qualified.
