Whatever this hose of bullshit strategy is, it's probably working because I'm already tired of venting through mocking comments.

Are the mocking comments wrong? This decision does not make sense at all and sometimes, only mockery is the way to make some sense/humor.

aaaand we're here This is my biggest concern. When jackass Rick Perry said years ago he wanted to eliminate the Department of Energy, I expected this would be a talking point republicans would stick to. Because it got their voters excited. The uneducated hear "Department of Energy" and they think "these people are make my gas and electricity more expensive". When their actual job is safeguarding nuclear weapons. This…

Rick Perry famously had a list of three departments that he wanted to eliminate, but after naming the first two, he forgot what the third one was. It was the department of energy. So of course that's the department Trump put him in charge of. He was reportedly shocked to learn that he had been put in charge of the nation's nuclear weapons. He wanted to eliminate the department of energy despite having absolutely no idea what it does. Par for the course these days.

Wikipedia article about WIPP, the storage facility overseen by the group that might be axed. I'm not sure if the lease being cancelled is for the office of the team monitoring the site or if it includes the actual storage facility as well.
