Gov. Rick Scott’s anti-science purge begins: State employee banned for uttering ‘climate change’ A Florida state employee has been reprimanded and told not to come to work after Gov.

You would think after the felonious moron magnet praised "the Great Hannibal Lecter" last month, his handlers freaked the fuck out and explained to him that expressing admiration for a serial killer is bad, but nope. He did it again. CNN's Jim Acosta read a few of the more batshit crazy things Donald Trump said to Republicans during his policy meeting when he returned to the scene of the crime.
"But during his remarks to House Republicans, Trump also complimented the fictional serial killer, Hannibal Lecter," Acosta said.

Trump just started freaking about sharks, batteries, boats, electrocution..to the point some in the MAGAfied crowd behind him began looking at each other, like "what the f*k?" And here's the thing--we at Cliff's Edge found footage from a year ago of Trump freaking about the exact same thing!
Gotta hand it to your merch team, Dark Brandon! Very quick response to Trump's hatred for Milwaukee.
