Judging by the standards set by the current president, a very great deal indeed.I wonder how willfully incompetent one can be and still keep the job?

You will always be foolish enough to believe your own bullshit or the Republican party's bullshit. Want a dog treat for it?I guarantee that was removed by a Democrat in protest. That website is specifically the Library of Congress website, whose head librarian was dismissed and a new Trumpier one appointed a couple months ago. What sounds more likely: that one guy personally demanded the removal of specifically the page explaining that Congress can't grant titles of nobility, or a angsty left-wing employee decided that "Trump is declaring himself king, so I guess I'll take that page down now, so everyone knows we've degraded to monarchy".
That "wait, you weren't supposed to say that" look on his face at 8:12 is absolutely priceless. A piece of shit being confronted with actual humanity.
I don't know about Kennedy, but I do know that a good number of Republicans (including a couple on these forums) are eager to see people die, because that means more people to feel smugly superior to.RFK Jr. may have shown a little hypocrisy, but I expect he genuinely cares about wellbeing and health.
"It couldn't have been us! It had to have been THEM!"I guarantee that was removed by a Democrat in protest.
It does highlight that peoplemight believe something like that. It reenforces it, in fact, which is precisely why someone who opposes Trump would gain from doing itYou can say that, but even if so it highlights the way that the administration has deleted all sorts of information, websites, resources, shut down research, etc. on politically non-approved topics. It's just so believable that Trump and team might do something like that.
Yeah, literally gonna wait because such a banal reasoning turns out to be false 90% of the time.It does highlight that peoplemight believe something like that. It reenforces it, in fact, which is precisely why someone who opposes Trump would gain from doing it
The other day, the kerfuffle was that "The Trump White House Pressured the Smithsonian to Rewrite History"

"Genuinely scary": Smithsonian accused of "rewriting history" after quietly removing Trump from impeachment exhibit
The Smithsonian is under fire for quietly removing Donald Trump’s two impeachments from its presidential history exhibit.www.dailydot.com
And then the actual story is that what they took down was a temporary placard that was getting worn down because they had mounted on the outside of the glass case, and they are making moves to update the contents of the case to reflect more recent events.

Smithsonian will again include Trump in impeachment exhibit in 'coming weeks'
The museum's decision to remove a placard referring to President Donald Trump from an impeachment exhibit sparked concerns over Trump's influence on the cultural institution.www.nbcnews.com
If you heard that story and thought "Oh man, I totally believe that Trump would force the Smithsonian not to mention his impeachments", then your perception is worse than the person who recognized that it was almost certainly fake news.
In this instance with the website of the Constitution, there's not even anything for the administration to gain by taking those pages down. At least with the Smithsonian, you could imagine someone being embarrassed about being impeached. This one is just contrived, you have to first imagine that Trump and his people feel themselves opposed to those parts of the Constitution, then you have to imagine that they think that removing them from that particular website has some meaningful effect... it's implausible in lots of ways, and perhaps you can recognize that on thorough inspection, but getting slammed with these sorts of stories constantly, even if 99% of them are totally fraudulent, the barrage feeds people's perceptions of plausibility.
Literally blowing up satellites to make sure Trump's feelings aren't hurtYou can say that, but even if so it highlights the way that the administration has deleted all sorts of information, websites, resources, shut down research, etc. on politically non-approved topics.

White House Orders NASA to Destroy Important Satellite
The White House has instructed NASA employees to destroy two major, climate change-focused satellite missions.futurism.com
Literally drawing up completely hypothetical plans for projects that could theoretically not be funded in next year's budget. Nobody ordered anyone to destroy satellites, just to make plans for how to move forward if funding for some projects were to get pulled. The NPR article your source has as its reference states "Draft budgets that Congress is currently considering for next year keep NASA funding basically flat", without explicitly mentioning that project as continuing or being cancelled, leaving enough ambiguity for someone at NASA to start making contingency plans, which could potentially include international cooperation or private funding, rather than destruction.Literally blowing up satellites to make sure Trump's feelings aren't hurt
I mean, they got Superman.I wonder how willfully incompetent one can be and still keep the job?
A Superman. A shitty and forgotten has been one who tries to remain relevant but has nothing to stand on, and still is is irrelevant. The coward is only doing this, because most people don't like him, outside of his little echo chamber, and the biatch couldn't handle the truth.I mean, they got Superman.

Getting reports that Adobe is detecting & deleting R18 work stored on their cloud, and banning the related accounts. NSFW creators who use the Adobe suite, would suggest you back up your work on your hard drive immediately.
No proof but honestly at this point, my personal advice would be to treat Apple/Microsoft cloud storage as hostile to NSFW art as well, and slated for deletion. Buy a real hard drive, and back up all of your shit. I'd rather be wrong and you to have a fresh backup than to be right yet again.
So people getting an infection induced side effect directly after getting a vaccine has literally nothing to do with the vaccine?If you had a shred of credibility left, this would explode it spectacularly.
You explicitly said you were counting all hospitalisations, that they might not be from covid, and said "i'll ignore that".
You gave your own numbers. You even did your own maths with them. And the risk remained magnitudes greater than 0.0005% even with your shoddy include-everything numbers.
Nope.So people getting an infection induced side effect directly after getting a vaccine has literally nothing to do with the vaccine?
You took the total hospitalisations in an age group, from all causes, and compared it to the total population in that age group. Then you tried to conclude something about covid from this.What stats did I use that were unrelated to covid? You make all these claims that make no sense or hold no water.
The numbers given are rough, unavoidably. But I provided the basis for them all, and you haven't actually demonstrated a significant problem with them.The stat I couldn't get was how many of the 234,000 hospitalizations for young people were severe and I said that is a much smaller pool. You, again, made some baseless claim that arrhythmia is like 40x higher with covid than myocarditis due to the vaccine in the same group. That is not at all true and you seem incapable of doing math.
Any number of reasons. Usually low returns in a cost-benefit analysis.The fact that every country stopped recommending vaccines/boosters for this group means that I'm literally right. Why would countries stop recommending something that is giving people overall benefits?
I very much doubt that section was removed at the behest of Trump or any higher-up in the administration.you have to first imagine that Trump and his people feel themselves opposed to those parts of the Constitution [...]
Vaccines replicate an infection whether giving a lot less potent version of the virus/bacteria or the mRNA vaccines that just give you the spike protein of the virus. The former is still an infection and the latter may or may not be based on semantics. Regardless, it's recreating in your body the same (very similar) immune response as actually getting the infection, and that immune response is the cause of inflammation. It's pretty obvious that the covid vaccine causes quite a response because of how often people have to take off work after getting the vaccine (which is not that normal for most vaccines). Everyone at my last job had to take off work for both shots when they got vaccinated, I didn't myself but I also got the J&J shot because it was just the one shot.Nope.
Myocarditis can be caused by various things. One of them is infection. Another, in exceptionally rare near-zero circumstances, is vaccination.
Vaccines are not infections. This is the horseshit misinformation that anti-vaxxers and cranks peddle, because they cannot grasp elementary basics of medicinal science.
You took the total hospitalisations in an age group, from all causes, and compared it to the total population in that age group. Then you tried to conclude something about covid from this.
The numbers given are rough, unavoidably. But I provided the basis for them all, and you haven't actually demonstrated a significant problem with them.
But it doesn't matter. Even when we took your numbers, the risk of myocarditis from the vaccine was still infinitesimally smaller. There's no way of getting around that. The risk you're whining about is simply negligible, while you want us to totally ignore greater risks altogether.
Any number of reasons. Usually low returns in a cost-benefit analysis.
You continue to conflate policy with science. Until you can comprehend the difference, you're not going to get off the starting block in any discussion about this.
No, its not. This is monumental ignorance of what vaccination is.Vaccines replicate an infection whether giving a lot less potent version of the virus/bacteria or the mRNA vaccines that just give you the spike protein of the virus. The former is still an infection and the latter may or may not be based on semantics.
No, absolutely not. You explicitly acknowledged that they may or may not have covid, and you even said "I'll ignore that". You seem to have just forgotten what you posted. Go back and reread your own post.I'm not sure if the number was just hospitalizations with covid or specifically from covid, but definitely covid related in some manner.
Infections can still happen-- including severe ones-- in people who have already had covid. The risk of such a thing happening is much lower... and yet still many times higher than the negligible risk of myocarditis from the vaccine.You're also ignoring a vast percentage of this group already had covid before the vaccine was available and didn't gain any benefit from said vaccine.
No: the recommendations were adapted because the benefits-to-cost were minor. It was not due to the non-risk of mild myocarditis.The science is literally that they found the vaccine caused myocarditis at a higher rate than covid infections. And then the policy reflected that known science.
There are so many things that Trump said he would never do and then he did that very thing the next dayLiterally drawing up completely hypothetical plans for projects that could theoretically not be funded in next year's budget.

Nobody is blowing up those satellites. Nobody has stated plans to blow up those satellites. Nobody said they were even asked to plan to blow up those satellites. You should be able to see that headline and understand it's likely fake.
I'm not even trying to be pedantic (in this case), I do not believe Trump has said anything about those satellites, at least not publicly. We have two pieces of information:There are so many things that Trump said he would never do and then he did that very thing the next day
Speaking of -To quote Clarence Darrow: "I have never wished a man dead. However, I have read many an obituary with pleasure."
ETA: Plus, there is a certain dark humor to the fact that he died exactly ten years after his racist rant was leaked.
