So the NASA scientists, like NIH scientists, will quit. Which is the point. Fascists hate science. They hate expertise. There can be only one expert, Trump. There can be only one voice, Trump.
How dare an elected member of the United States House of Representatives have an opinion on how to run the country!
A federal judge tossed Donald Trump’s $15bn defamation lawsuit against the New York Times, book publisher Penguin and two Times reporters, and said the suit was filled with “vituperation and invective” and violated civil procedure in federal cases for failing to get to the point. US district court judge Steven Merryday in Florida will allow the president to refile and amend the action within 28 days, however. Merryday cited Rule 8(a) of the federal rules of civil procedure requiring a complaint include a short and plain statement of the claim showing that the pleader is entitled to relief to disqualify the filing. “Alleging only two simple counts of defamation, the complaint consumes eighty-five pages,” Merryday wrote. “Count I appears on page eighty, and Count II appears on page eighty-three … Even under the most generous and lenient application of Rule 8, the complaint is decidedly improper and impermissible.”
