Here is something on which I hope that DT will take to Twitter in the morning.

Comments by Diego Maradona, Argentine Football great who is currently visiting Russia:
Quote:
Putin is a man who can bring peace to many in this world,” he added, describing the Russian leader as “a phenomenon; simply a phenomenon.”

The legendary Argentinean said he didn’t see US President Donald Trump among the elite, saying, “For me, he’s more of a comic.”

“He’s like a cartoon to me, if we talk about politics… Every time I see him on TV, I switch the channel,” he added.

Everyone knows that science and facts have a liberal bias.

Besides, we've got InfoWars. Can't get better science elsewhere!

Careful. Whell is going to challenge you for impugning the journalistic integrity of his Dear Leader's primary source of "news."

What most people don't understand is that much of what is presented by the media as Science is technology and most science is theory.

We need science. We don't need science in service of a political agenda. Therefore, bravo to the decision to shutter the Office of Party Science in the White House, and long may it remain dead no matter the occupant of the White House.

Besides, there are myriad other govt agencies that could more than take up the slack...for better or worse.

Look, you moron. EPA tried to pressure a scientist to change her testimony. She told them to stuff it. Science is under assault by this disgusting administration. They need to be shown the door. As a Trump supporter, you show your utter ignorance daily.

More proof that politics and science don't mix. Now, in the case you cited, the individual was "pressured" allegedly over a policy matter not specifically related to a purely scientific issue. But even an affable intellectual like you can see that a government scientific agency will be used for political purposes and not be bodily trusted.
