Scientific American Backs Biden With Its First Presidential Endorsement In History | MSNBC
Intelligent action by data and facts. Right on!
@informationOD Finally, Einstein….Trump did not put a band on anyone. Over 40K people were allowed entry into the USA after the so-called band & the Clown TOTALLY ignored Europe where the virus entered the USA. The USA is now the one banned from entering many countries on the planet. He LIED about testing being available for all who needed one. To date, thousands of americans are still unable to get testing & the results takes too long to return. He was LATE every step of the way. think about it, we have the largest number of infected & deaths in the WORLD.🤡 Trump FAILED us all & they are laughing at us….nothing new, they’ve been doing so since the coronation of the Orange Clown.
@Adventure54 – At least he did more than any single one of the whinny demonrat. All you idiots ever did was whine and complain. Which one offered any solution???? Every single demonrat was calling Trump xenophobic and fear mongering when he banned travel from China. Don’t tell me they don’t have data because if they don’t they shouldn’t have open their trap. Change your party name to Blame Party and your motto should be “If it’s gone bad, it’s not our fault”.
JamieLan2011 I mean they defend every president so we know they are all obviously corrupt (DOJ and every president and every presidential candidate). Those 3 are obviously always corrupt. I’m speaking about how science is just as corrupt now.
Waryaa Wariiri the fact that you admit that science has been tainted by politics means we can no longer trust the scientists.
@Philip Erdman It must be painful being you. You believe in nothing because you’re easily tainted. the science can the trusted….it’s the politicians who can’t be trusted in today politics. It will all change as soon as Trump is removed from office. You’re the kind of loser who don’t vote just complain & whine. Science is not perfect, It evolves based on new information gathered on a daily basis.
“The 2020 election is literally a matter of life and death,” the magazine added in a tweet. “We urge you to vote for health, science and Joe Biden for President.”- Scientific American
@Modernday PC go back to school learn something more then Trump bullcrap
@Modernday PC racist
Jerry Hate school is closed by Democrats and the word “racist” holds no weight nowadays. Try again
Lol
@CMUNIC8 God bless you 😊
“We won with poorly educated. I love the poorly educated.” – Donald Trump
Fake Quote
@Oscar Medina “evidence and logic” along with other basic sensibilities are incompatible to leftist degenerate shitheads like you.
Are these called “educated” are same ones complaining that they can’t pay off their debt? Just because someone received a college degree doesn’t mean that person is “educated”. These are also the same group of people who claimed that there are more than 2 genders. Went to college but have absolutely zero common sense.
@I SUPPORT TRUMP that says that US has a flawed political system where the candidate with majority of the votes doesn’t win
@I SUPPORT TRUMP a quick look at the financials and quality of life statistics state to state, city to city and one can see that you WISH that were true.
Trump: “I don’t think science knows, actually.”
Science: “Hold my test tube.”
Scientific American: “What science said.”
no… just no… you need to take that joke back to the drawing board…
Jay L. Humor is a sign of intelligence…..nothing funny here.
@ The last farewell: This statement isn’t properly punctuated, that’s all. It is supposed to read:
Trump: “I don’t think. Science knows, actually.”
@Jay L. – Tough crowd 🙂 I’ve fairly thick skin so take no issue or offense with your criticism. I’ll grant that the joke was rather weak, but cannot being myself to pour more than a modicum of effort into these. It’s YouTube after all.
Trump and Putin walk into a bar without wearing masks. The bartender points to a clearly-visible sign on the door “No Mask. No Entry” Putin looks at the sign, smirks, and says “That sign does not concern me. I’ll have a vodka and tonic.” Trump looks at the sign, smirks, and says “That sign does not concern Putin. Now, how much do I owe you?”
The left cant meme
All the money in the world can’t fix senile old fool syndrome….Lol

@Lana Kahl I heard the Demonic Democrats are starting the fires,spraying the carona virus on us via chem trails and manipulating the weather causing hurricanes…😯
@Mark Black you lost a spelling contest to a bag of rusty nails…🤣
@Deku my evidence is watching this political circus staggering about every day…lol
A 175 year magazine broke tradition. Let that sink in.
@henrymartyn When you know what that means but I assume as Trump stooge science isn’t your thing🤣
Max F this is almost like Cardi B getting into politics
Raydensheraj what is hilarious is the assumption that if someone doesn’t believe in YOUR views, a person is ignorant. The most ignorant thing is that these media organizations are campaigning hard for Biden. And the more disrespectful you are, presenting your case—the more people vote RIGHT to distance themselves from people like you.
Does anyone on this post have the qualifications of Dr. Curry?
https://reason.com/2017/01/04/georgia-tech-climatologist-judith-curry/
Yes This science community just must have lost their need to be objective and real data to support their beliefs. She used way to many points that are easily disproved with a little research. Mad loss of respect.
Just read these threads lol
Flat earthers hahaha
@brian nemeth It’s amazing how you can’t follow a thread. I never said the dissenting scientists were bought off, you did. I said they are intimidated by having their funding cut off and by being removed from positions. You say something and then claim I said it. No wonder you’re a Biden supporter, seems like you two have about the same mental clarity.
@TheFloridaPappy amazing how you see the faults in others when you do exactly the same. I never claimed to be a Biden supporter, I’m not liberal or Democrat. I’m a tree hugger representing deep rural WA. Drop by next time you’re in Nemah.
@brian nemeth Faults in others when I do exactly the same? You’re going to have to explain that one to me. So I got your politics wrong, so ’bout that, but the upcoming election is realistically between two parties and when you were insulting me assuming I’m a Trump supporter, it was logical to assume you were for Biden. BTW, I’ve got no problem with hugging trees.
@Dave , luciferians run the circus…
@brian nemeth , you are a clueless indoctrinated sheeple too ignorant to challenge the lies you have been pumped full of. Eventually the truth will be made clear to you fool…
for those who don’t know, he also thinks that your life is like a battery, no need to work out, no need to eat right. When your battery life force is empty you die.
Cite your sources
Well he’s been looking a bit run down lately. Time to plug him in for a quick recharge. The problem is that both his bottom and his top are negative.
One day everyone does die.
@Raspberry Picasso Lol

“As Trump rails against ‘far-left’ fascism, new database shows leftwing attacks have left far fewer people dead than violence by rightwing extremists”
(article by Lois Beckett in The Guardian, 27 July 2020).
…for reality….
Oh my. Science. Stand up. Amen.
@jesus deavila well judging by his comment it suggests he is bovine, porcine or similar.

@Utub Commentater a true wack job
This is a giant discredit to the science community as a whole.
FunFact: *Scientific Americans* Walk Back ‘Life On Mars’ Claims After Revelation It Was Just An Unborn Baby
175 years? She doesn’t look that old!
Tnxx Lawrence,I always watch and appreciate your contributions…hope your bosses read this
And still no discussion of a vaccine to protect us against future infections like D. Trump.
More scientists and engineers need to run for office. Too many “C” and “D” students, now adults, getting elected on fear and religious affiliation.
So you don’t support Biden, right?
MarcSylex I‘ve been saying that for decades.
In China, many of the top politicians are engineers; one of the reasons the Chinese are so successful.
And it may well have something to do with Angela Merkel‘s scientific background, that coronavirus numbers and deaths in Germany remained low.
But try to co vince a fervent, bible-thumping Trump supporter.
You will never get through.
Perfect! ✨
“Unanimous and immediate.”
Thankyou, for your expertise. TRUTH MATTERS !
At least she has facts and Backing Biden up which is Good! Biden/Harris 2020🔥
I’m all for science, but political endorsements….???!!!
Truly a sad day
She made me see with science! Science!
Makes me feel hopeful for election day.
