Commerce Department aides knew Alabama hurricane forecasters were not responding to Trump, but still

[crickets]

3. IKR? It's ridiculous that Mulvaney spent time guarding the Tyrannical Tangelo's ego,

just because Trump decides to make an ass out of himself on the Tee Vee. (Again.)

It is crazy how politics was injected into a situation regarding public safety. There was no reason to put up with Trump needlessly panicking Alabama. Professionals did their jobs in response to the proper parties: the citizens who contacted them wanting to know what the heck was going on.

NOAA’s unsigned statement critical of the forecasters has generated at least three investigations, including one by the Commerce Department’s inspector general, one by the House Science Committee and another by NOAA’s chief scientist, who is looking into possible violations of the agency’s Scientific Integrity Policy.

Well, good for them. In the mean time somebody needs to make sure to keep the crayons away from the toddler, at least while he's on camera.
