    Couldn’t have happened to a worse person

    Actually, strike that, there are still worse, but the day isn’t over yet, there is still hope.

    I feel for anyone who gets cancer. This woman, though, deserves every second of suffering she will get

    She is continuing to work despite the diagnosis, and will be joining the White House’s new advisory council on AI, the Presidential Council of Advisors on Science and Technology.

    Of all the fucking things. Forget all the blatant corruption and illegal behavior of this administration for a moment. This is why Republican administrations are always a bad idea: They put non-experts in roles that require experts!

    I’m 48 and every single Republican president in my lifetime has pulled shit like this. From John Tower (first Bush) to the severe incompetency of the George W. Bush administration (e.g. “Brownie, you’re doing a heck of a job.”) to the catastrophic incompetency and corruption of both Trump administrations.

    Democratic administrations aren’t perfect, but they at least try to appoint actually qualified individuals into any given position. For Republicans, the only qualification necessary seems to be loyalty and/or making friends with the right people (and who knows what back room/hidden dealings).

      Democrats do the same thing. Sheila Jackson Lee… In 1997, while serving on the House Science Committee, she reportedly asked NASA officials if the Mars Pathfinder rover had taken pictures of the American flag planted on Mars by Neil Armstrong.

        A congressperson serving on a congressional committee for a technical topic is very different from a rando appointed to the head of a specialized department of the executive branch.

    Hope she lives long enough to be properly deposed for executing the most horrific and odious cover up of the 21st century.

    Then, then the cancer can have her.

    But first, the people need justice, or things will get very bad, very fast.

      We need her to survive long enough to get convicted of her crimes and have her appeal denied (death before opportunity appeal posthumously overturns convictions).

      Then she’s allowed to die.

    You can’t have that much vitriol and hate inside you before something gives. My wish for her is that there are good oncology facilities in her near future prison.
