The Trump administration’s federal hiring freeze is squeezing the team of meteorologists who help air traffic controllers inform pilots about the weather minute-by-minute as they steer airplanes in and out of the Bay Area’s three major airports.

People will die directly as a result of the policies of this administration; literally there will be increases in morbidity and mortality. And pyutti could not be happier. It will take decades to recover from the damage done just up to this date. I cannot fathom what 45 more months will do in terms of harm to the US and to the rest of the world directly from these policies. smh.

That’s precisely the goal. It’s a great way for Russia to kill Americans without firing a shot. It is one of many ways they’re doing this.

I just don't understand what happened between the first term and the second. First term all the dude did was play golf.

This second term its like he's under threat of assassination or something.

Or, it's just the courts that ruled the President can't go to jail for any actions they perform. So he's basically a dog off a chain.

If you look at what he actually did first term and compare it to this term, they're pretty close in their evilness. The Muslim ban, the family separation, the hiring of really dumb people. Everyone is just forgetting or weren't paying attention the first time.
