I mean it is poetic that it happened immediately after he did that, and it's definitely a stupid decision, but this almost certainly didn't have anything to do with that decision. That's an action whose consequences won't start to materialize till much later on.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Nuance left the room in 2016
This is just like how he gutted the pandemic early warning program, called PREDICT in China just before COVID hit.
Or how he put a science-denying antivax fool in charge of the Department of Health and defunded all scientific research just before the great bird flu pandemic of '25?
Bird flu and tuberculosis pandemics of ‘25
Didn't forget polio and measles. The antivaxers want those to make a comeback, too.
This time we are even starting early, only not sure if it will be bird flu, ebola or turbeculosis.
No one at all would he better than a nepbaby.
It's all Trumps fault.
What a great narrative to start
Absolutely, it is. Also, why the hell is gas still so expensive?
Same with eggs. All his fault!!!
He did that --->
Too bad holodecks aren't real. We could put him in one and let him fuck up a virtual world instead of the one we actually rely on.
We could take him up to space and blow him out of an air lock. That's kind of like Star Trek.
More like The Expanse.
Maybe we should aim for the Event Horizon experience?
Total Recall. Let's see those eyeballs pop.
The end of Alien. ...oh and the end of Aliens oddly
I literally just started watching this. Going in for episode 2.
The Lemmy algorithm is working ;)
You won't be disappointed. Easily the best space scifi show of the last decade.
This happened before, right? He did the samething with the trains. How did that workout?
Well that's good news for Boeing commercial at least.
And because Poe /s.
