>A female scientists' organization is harshly criticizing Bill Nye, saying "the Science Guy" does not "speak for science" by attending President Trump's first State of the Union address on Tuesday.
>500 Women Scientists, a group that describes itself as a grass-roots organization dedicated to "making science open, inclusive, and accessible" to a diverse population, condemns Nye's decision to attend the speech and accuses him of putting his "personal brand over the interests of the scientific community at large."
>"As scientists, we cannot stand by while Nye lends our community's credibility to a man who would undermine the United States' most prominent science agency," the piece reads. "And we cannot stand by while Nye uses his public persona as a science entertainer to support an administration that is expressly xenophobic, homophobic, misogynistic, racist, ableist, and anti-science." TLDR- women kicked Bill Nye out of science because he was invited to the State of the Union by the head of NASA.
Oh btw- Trump “undermining NASA” = giving NASA it’s largest budget since the Cold War ended.

Jose Wilson
Uh... it literally says nothing about not allowing men in science. Is that really what you gleaned from that sentence? Your worldview is totally fucked.
Aaron Roberts
How about appointing a "yes-man" politician (not a scientist) that doesn't believe in climate change to the head of NASA?
Nathan Russell

Cameron Williams
>Poland scoring higher than UK in two categories Yikes.
Dominic Sanchez
NASA head doesn't have to believe in climate change as long as he can put on a program that makes interplanetary travel a thing. That is what Trump wants after all.
Parker Harris
Women Scientists making "science open, inclusive, and accessible" That's scientism not scientody
Fucking hacks

Let's be real, all us 90s kids loved Bill Nye back in the day.
Bill Nye actually had *some* credibility for a bit when he BTFO that creationist faggot with reason and facts. That was the most one-sided debate I've ever seen in my life.
Then he squandered all his credibility in that stupid leftist propaganda show. Now he's just a joke pretend science guy and no one really respects him.
Every right winger likes to get a few easy coolness points from taking cheap shots at Bill Nye like really represents the "science" behind leftist thought.
And Bill Nye endorsing things that are obviously real like global warming makes an easy paper tiger for right wingers to yank down to make it look like the science behind global warming is dodgey (it's not).
He just needs to retire. He shat the bed with that tv show and there's no recovering from it. It's like Pee-Wee Herman cranking down during a gay adult movie, it casts all that we *believed to be true* about him false... and thus he can never be the beloved celeb he once was again.

I'm not sure I understand why this had to be a female scientist issue. I mean don't male scientists hate drumpf too ?

Female scientist have existed but they were actual fem spergs now we have stacy SJW idiots posing as scientist to advance their political agendas.

Not a fan of Bill Nye, but these women are retarded and should be ignored.

jesus
Sebastian Turner
Well, I wrote that post and you do have a point. I loved them both, but my family generally watched Beakman more. And it really was the better show, more entertaining with more interesting science. Beakman isn't given his just due by history.... but sometimes that's how history is, guys equally famous to an established celebrity are forgotten.
Do any of you know Johnny Winter, he was a guitarist on par with Hendrix and one of the best paid musicians of the late 60s and early 70s. He opened at Woodstock (when the crowds were huge, by the last day of Woodstock, it was rainy and most guys went home). But despite being huge in the late 60s and 70s, most people who didn't live through his fame don't remember him.

Expects a agricultural nation of 4.5million to invent a lot of things. The absolute state of burger education.

I liked Bill but his new show isn't a learnign science show. It's a political show like the Daliy Show or Full Frontal. Yes he uses facts during his segments(some of the time) but sadly the show isn't about the wonder of learning. It's a liberal circle jerk.
Aiden Martin
This, goddamn. That fucking propaganda of a show and they disown him for simply going to the State of the Union. I mean, fuck Bill Nye, but Jesus

China would have the highest scores because tests aren't about intelligence, they're about knowing whats on them and the Chinese are the best cheaters in the world.
Jason Cox
Leftists, already lacking integrity and utterly ruthless, only see these traits magnified in leftist females. Anyone, especially white people, that stop being 100% useful puppets, are the be discarded, degraded, and destroyed. It's horrifying to see this social totalitarianism in action and with such mass support from the left at large. Mark my words, they'll fucking see all of us dead before they share a world with us.
Justin Evans
It's James. Sorry facts don't work for you

Gee, really ? Maybe because he is not a scientist by any stretch of the imagination. He is a tv show host.

The Congressional Black Caucus boycotted the SOTU, just like they boycotted the inauguration and even Trump's ribbon cutting at the Civil Rights Museum.
They've brought up articles of impeachment against Trump every week since he took office and they're now up to 58 votes

Ah yes, the nigger caucus, yet another roadblock in the way of a the multicultural rainbow society. These people don't want equality, they want domination. All coated in the cushy language of equality and compassion, fucking sickening.

>both sides are in disarray The only unhappy right wingers are Mormons like Romney, David French and whiny Jeff Whatshisface.
The right isn't the group that claims to represent all feminists, gays and Muslims, or all labor unions, environmentalists and open borders advocates, or all moderate socialists, Wall Street and Silicon Valley.
Austin Phillips
Hopefully fucking nothing and this group of 500 nitwits can shove their stupid opinions up their hairless assholes.
How partisan do you have to be to think that merely showing up to listen to Trump talk is an indictment of someone's character? Do they really want to cover their ears and close their eyes the entire way through the administration?
Josiah Russell

But they'll actually need to go to space and stuff. Before, they just had to hire grills and perform muslim outreach.

Keep in mind Nancy Pelosi was attacked by Mexicans at a town hall and Chuck Schumer at his own fucking house for the crime of speaking to Trump and even considering his offer of amnesty for 1.8 million underage illegals in exchange for $30 billion in wall funding.
Evan Anderson
>xenophobic, homophobic, misogynistic, racist, ableist, and anti-science
Are they just throwing out buzzwords completely at random now?
Daniel Robinson
I didn't claim Republicans are in disarray. I'm saying they're simply clearing house of any moderates who might be able to afford to make deals in the future. While at the same time Democrats will stand to probably gain a lot of seats with crazy Progressives coming out of 2018.
So by that point you have two rabid dogs staring each other in the face and nobody is willing to talk and there's way more of a chance that it will be an even playing field so jack shit will get done for two solid fucking years. It's a recipe of insanity to get anything done.
Lucas Ward
>So by that point you have two rabid dogs staring each other in the face and nobody is willing to talk you should listen to trump's SOTU. he offered amnesty for 3.6 million illegals for border security funding, and 75% of americans liked it, but the dems were glued to their seats. the theme was unity, because he knew the dems would cut off their nose to spite their own faces. dems won't win anything, republicans will keep winning
Ryan Wilson
Nice 9s and 3s there but there's still congress to consider and lot of fights during 2018 and really?
>polling
That's not an indicator of anything at this point as Trump's election victory has shown. Way too much shit and really, really dirty group of campaigns coming up in 2018. These last few elections in Virginia and such show some Dem support going forward in places that I wouldn't really have expected. I'd say Alabama was a one-off since it was a really really specific example and Moore barely lost.
Democrats like to think they'll win big but if anything like said I'd just expect it to be more even in the House without a Republican majority and basically the same in the Senate. Again, a recipe for gridlock.

I think it's a function of diversity. America is too 56% to govern.
There are already regions where whites aren't even part of the equation - Oakland politics are defined by black vs Latino squabbling, the black Philadelphia City Council is at war with the overwhelmingly Korean local businesses
If there ever ends up being a civil war it's gonna have like 16 sides, everybody hates everybody
Mason Hernandez
>and accuses him of putting his "personal brand over the interests of the scientific community at large." and what are these attention seeking sacks of shit trying to do exactly? oh the same thing ? the only people in academia who are focused on that shit are the garbage bags who cant hack it to be real researcher and experimenters.

The way media works today scares me the most. We have examples of literal fake news being spread all over Facebook/Twitter with no citations on anything being fed to grandma. So now you can do the same with #metoo and have fucking accusations with no credible citations or evidence.
Two sides of the same dirty fucking coin. The madness has to end. There was a day in politics where if you had dirt on you the opposition would find out but at least it was legit dirt you had to own. Now you can have your story up in the National Enquirer and the president can cite it and the base will believe and on the other hand you have some woman come up and say some shit about you and that's cool and you're a sick fuck.

you're telling me 500 women scientists dont have the intelligence between them to figure out that bill nye quite literally isn't even a scientist, let alone one who represents the scientific community?
