    Jesus fuck. This cunt just cut NIH’s indirect cost payout to 15%, but at least we have plastic straws. This is going to cripple hospitals, universities, and all biomedical research in the USA.

    Newsflash: his mission is to destroy the United States.

      Yup. I imagine this is exactly what Putin, China, and the rich bilionaires want. I think they’re playing at something the the fall of the USSR but with more of a ‘controlled demolition’ vibe. Oh, we’ll all still get fucked while they power grab.

    They didn’t go anywhere. You can get them. The Woke Police aren’t going to glitter your door down and trans you. Buy all the plastic straws you want.

      It’s like he’s going through every stupid fox and friends ‘controversy’ and just tries to ‘fix’ it. I think the closest anyone got to banning plastic straws is specific city ordinances in certain cities, and only for establishments that serve drinks.

      And seventy some million voters suddenly forgot this was true as soon as they read about this great achievement from their God-king.

      When a turtle chokes on a plastic straw, it will float to the surface, beach itself, and you can strap it to the roof of your car and drive it to your cottage where your family can feast on it for days.

      Maybe you’re one of those families that buys mostly straws. The ones you see with little children huddled and sobbing around their parent who is desperately trying to hold back tears while explaining, “we can only afford 13 bags of straws this week instead of 36 because woke took away our plastic straws. And while duck calls will work just fine with biodegradable straws, they don’t have the same mouth-feel as the ones that choke sea turtles.”

      He makes international deals with Canada and Mexico by throwing out the deal he himself made while scorning the idiot that made it, and then threatening tariffs until he gets concessions in the form of things they were already doing. Our righteous savior, America. God help us all.

    Well, I for one have now completely reversed my opinion on this whole kerfuffle we are all enjoying so much.
