NOAA leaders backed Trump's hallucinations over their own forecasters. They should resign

The astonishing statement from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration attempting to provide some justification for  Trump's obsession with proving himself right about a hurricane threatening Alabama, days after forecast tracks had fully removed the state from Hurricane Dorian's potential path, and Trump hand-altered a printed map with a black marker and proudly presenting it to the public as official weather information. The WaPo suggests that the two governmental f*ckwits who appear to be most responsible for warning National Weather Service forecasters to remain silent about  Trump making up the f*king weather are acting NOAA administrator Neil Jacobs and, notably, ex-Trump campaign functionary Julie Kay Roberts, now ensconced as the agency's director of public affairs. It goes without saying that both should resign.
