Has DU given up on them?

Idiot in Chief mixes up "transgender" with "transgenic.

Claims that the US spends millions on developing transgender mice when the funding actually went to developing transgenic mice (which are used, amongst other things, for cancer research).

We have truly entered bizarro land.

So where are all these wars Trump, the man of peace, says he

"stopped before they started"? "Wars you've never heard of...".

Idiot in Chief is now referring to rare earths as

"raw earths".

February 24, 2025

For the record:

Lithium, cobalt, nickel, manganese are not "rare earth elements" or "minerals" for that matter.

About the only rare earth element that is especially relevant to today's context is neodymium which is used in some cases for magnets in electric motors and wind turbine generators.

F.I.R.T?

It seems DU might, during these tumultuous and stressful times, make good use of a variant on MIRT. I propose it be called "FIRT", the F standing for FUD. Or, perhaps "FLIRT", the F & L standing for Fear & Loathing.

IOW's things are now bad enough based on the facts - we don't need to make it worse based on misinformation and speculation or, IMO deliberate attempts in some circumstances i.e. AGIPROP (Agitation Propaganda) to rile folks up.
