He’s Trump’s official science advisor now, but Idk why people leave his very impressive stint as Trump’s default science advisor with no science experience off of his resume these days…

Sign of the times I guess

Trump’s de facto science adviser is 31 and has no science training

More than a year into his presidency, Donald Trump still hasn’t appointed a top science adviser. So who, then, is the top-ranking science official in the White House?

“The job falls to Michael Kratsios,” ClimateWire’s Scott Waldman writes. As the top-ranking official in the Office of Science and Technology Policy, Kratsios is now the de facto top science adviser in the White House.

Kratsios is a 31-year-old with a political science degree and a focus on Hellenic (a.k.a. Greek) studies from Princeton who cut his professional teeth in Silicon Valley, according to Waldman. These are not exactly the qualifications you’d want for the person the president is supposed to turn to for advice on dealing with a disease outbreak, or an environmental disaster (though Archimedes’ principle does come in handy in explaining sea level rise).

The vampire is Johnson, Thiel is the one that had his boyfriend pushes off a balcony.

p.s hoping that Thiel spends a lot of time on balconies will get you banned from the r-site, becauase its more cucked than bubba-the-love-spong

  Thiel gets regular blood infusions from his son’s blood. That’s why people call him a vampire.
