Watching every organization and person capitulate to this bullshit is exhausting. There’s a real cool word you can use when someone tells you to do something fucking stupid and authoritarian:
“NO.”
-
The same thing the Trump administration does every time a judge tells them to stop doing something
-
Do you think Trump respects when someone tells him no? The guy who's been accused dozens of times of rape? He (and any other fascist) speaks and understands only one language: violence.
-
-
Just like every other dictatorships, the Trump regime wages war on knowledge and data.
And it's not new either: this started on day one of Trump's "presidency", and it should have been an ominous sign of things to come.
Americans voted for this. What a sad, sad country.
-
Sounds like a diversion seeing that Trump is in the Epstein files.
-
Yeah, destroying the planet to exacerbate wealth inequality really is a distraction from the scapegoat figurehead that has survived a hundred scandals being a child rapist. Surely this time if we focus all of our attention on the scandalproof figurehead's scandals rather than any of the issues, we're going to win. I know it sank two elections, but this time it's different. Because that's what's really wrong with the current US administration: Not imprisoning people without trial or destroying libraries of scientific knowledge, but the figurehead having some something wrong personally.
I guess Trump was right - when you're a star, you can grab them by the pussy and you can do anything.
-
The reason that people keep repeating it is because Epstein is the conspiracy theory that Trump's cult is founded upon. Him denying that the list exists has caused the biggest schism in his supporters that we've ever seen. People made this thing their entire belief system, and now their idol is saying that it never existed and that he won't release it. Even though his campaign was based on the promise of releasing it.

NASA, please say you destroyed it but instead turned it over to a country who gives a shit about the world. I know there are so few of them but this is such a waste.
-
I am just amaze at how Americans (and those residing in America) have truly been conditioned and pacified to accept such blatant act of self-harm being inflicted. Never mind the defunding of climate change research, but defunding welfare is really the red line most other governments will never cross. In France, they riot whenever welfare is touched. In Russia, of all places, the only time Putin was seriously challenged by the public was when he announced pension reforms. And then he backed down! A dictator!
Americans have been brainwashed to think free healthcare, unemployment benefits and childcare is bad for them! Not even conservatives in other countries will dare touch the welfare because it is a political suicide! What is happening in the US right now is the culmination of liberal values it was founded on; worshiping the altar of individualism at the expense of the common good.

It's somewhat that, but the key point is the manufactured consent that our biggest corporations prescribe via their media subsidiaries. I'd argue America has the best propaganda in the world. WE'RE #1!!! WOOOO

That documentary about Edward Bernays. The Century of the Self. The episodes are appropriately named too! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Century_of_the_Self
It explains how we are here. Basically after WW2 the leaders embarked on a psychology advertising campaign for Western civilization where it would be too uncomfortable to wage a war again like that without all the comforts of consumerism. America is at the peak of it.
The only way the citizen of America will really push back is when the government collectively takes something from them that lies at or near the base of Maslow's Pyramid. When it gets too uncomfortable. Or else everything is actually fine.

Indeed, the French beat the Americans hands down.
-

-
He does anything to make the Epsein circus go away
-
He was constantly doing horrible things before the Epstein circus started. This is just what Trump does.
-
-
-
Yep
-
-
Sell it to the ESA, if it isn't a cover-up.
-
Would require transferring the relevant ground infrastructure and the people involved or at least their knowledge. Not as simple as one might think. Also ESA would have to allocate funds to it first.
-
-
Who would've thought that the bourgeoisie will weaponize climate change and put it against us, the working class? 🤦♂️
-
I guess as an American I'm counting on the rest of the world to continue working on problems while we sit here and shit in our own mouths for the next 3.5 years(hopefully just 3.5)
-
It's standard procedure to deliberately deorbit satellites that are no longer in use, since the whole program was defunded.
It's not like they are doing this out of spite, they are just doing what they said they would do, which people voted for.
Crazy, but true.
-
If I was in his position and absolutely had to part with the sats, I would SELL or RENT them out. Like how a genuine businessman would. This bull is stupid on all the levels.
-
I think the intention is to get rid of the data being provided to fix global warming. If the satellite is sold the data would turn up in some fashion eventually.

measuring things is woke
-
Ban rulers, speedometers, fuel gauges and pressure sensors! Cook meat on a gut feeling! Destroy all cups! Long dresses for all so we can't see feet! YAAARGH!
-
Cook meat on a gut feeling!
Anyone who needs a thermometer to cook meat is either a minimum-wage flunky who can't find their ass with both hands and a map, or shouldn't be cooking meat at all.
-
-
yeah all that "quantitative objective science" liberal BS
/s
Oh god how do we share a planet with these troglodytes
-
That's why no more weather service. If you can't see the F5 Hurricane barrelling down on you it doesn't exist.
-
I read this this is the voice of Butthead. To which Beavis would reply "Heh, heh, yes, we need more FIRE!"
-
-
Chat, are we cooked?
-
literally trying to cook us now
-
We won't know. Neat, isn't it?
-
-
This is some "Don't Look Up" type shit. Can't happen if you don't acknowledge it.
-
I would say that if presidents are allowed to be this corrupt, no long-term legislation or treaties can possibly be assumed to survive in between presidencies ... except that would imply that the US is still a representative democracy when the reality is otherwise.
-
Yeah, if the Democrats weren't a fucking joke of a controlled opposition, they'd be running on total rollback: declare a state of emergency and remove and detain every single Trump appointee, repeal every single executive order, reverse every single item of legislation, revoke every grant, cancel every contract signed during the Trump administration. Then ban any Trump appointee from ever holding office again, blacklist every recipient of a federal contract awarded for the first time under Trump, shut down any "nonproit" that served as a fascist front organization, and revoke the corporate charter of any corporation involved in corrupt lobbying.
-
-
I have come to the conclusion that Trump is actually an alien. He is helping to prepare our planet for the arrival of his species by ensuring CO2 levels quickly reach a more tolerable level. It's the only explanation that makes sense.
-
Honestly, I WOULD prefer him to be some kind of alien super agent. It is a lot less depressing than the alternative.
-
My conclusion is that he’s the culmination of the US losing the Cold War. Putin has been investing in kompromat on all the red politicians for a long time, and this is the era of profit taking.
-
Sadly he's just the product of the american "culture" of selfishness and arrogance. They will destroy the world as we know it.
-
-
Don't look up, people.
-
Sorry Donnie, we're gonna need a really big missile in order to take that down, could you send us some cash to build it?
-
Distraction.
He's on the Epstein list and wants it to be buried under all his other bullshit. -
Ah employing the same 500iq strategy as they did during Covid.. if no numbers are reported, then there must be no climate change!
-
If we don't test for CO2, then no-one can complain that we have high levels of it taps forehead - that's big, beautiful brain thinking right there.
-
Need to reframe this:
"The satellites measure success of our roaring industry! The higher values, the better."
-
"You will serve until such a time you are no longer needed".
-
I put my phone down, then picked it up a few moments later hoping I ate the onion.
I hate him.
-
if nasa really have those laser destroyer sats it's time to aim at the whitehouse
-
What next? Trying to get rid of animated cartoons factually depicting Tumps penis?
-
Gonna have myself a time.
-
-
.... ostrich ....
-
Can we accidentally leave the keys near ESA HQ?
-
The question is, will americans do something about there antichrist problem before he destroys the whole world, or will they just watch and complain only if they are personnally afected. The answer is within the question.
-
Vandalism
-
Just relabel the satellites as methanedione detector and good for the plants for big beautiful grasses and they are not going to check back
-
Someone should just offer to buy it. Pakistan has the means and motive. Should be the kind of thing that fat idiot would go for. Plus he's salty at India rn...
-
Just deorbit it straight into cunt-a-lago
-
Is it massive enough to be deorbited on top of Mar-a-Lago?
-
Looking forward the Mad Maxy future that's coming up. Where Gasoline and Drinking Water are the primary commodities and no one truly remembers how things were in "the before times" and the "long long ago" (aka a single generation ago).
-
-
That's not how the UN works. It's a diplomatic platform, not a world government.
-
Plus the US is one of the least blockeable countries on earth. They have basically every natural resource and industry.
-
-
-
I love BBQing indoors. Babies taste best. CO and smoke detectors are just alarmist annoying hysteria that my family would use against me to value their lives over baby BBQs. BBQ hating commies in my household should not ruin my freedom with information based logic, and so tools of alarmism must be destroyed.
-
Maybe they can fake this somewhat convincingly, since Trump and his cabinet are a bunch of fucking retards.

Have republicans actually ever done anything that hasn't been absolute dog shit decision?
Many of them have died
Not enough :(
yeah but it doesn't count when it takes that long.
too little too late
Technically they made the EPA, which I guess they decided was a bad idea.
Yes, but not since the days of Goldwater
The super racist guy who Hillary Clinton supported whom the Goldwater Rule was named after?
That's who you think was the last good Republican?
Oppose slavery.
But its hard to believe they were the cool party until the 50s. Thank you Reagan.
Slavery is still explicitly legal in the USA.
They were Hoover's party. They stopped being cool long before the '50s.
Budd Dwyer blew his brains out on live TV. Granted it was on a snow day when all the kids were at home watching TV. Maybe not the best decision but it did lead to one less republican wasting oxygen.
