Two senior #NOAA officials were just placed on leave. Both led ‘#Sharpiegate’ inquiry
While the reasoning behind the move is not clear, the two officials affected — #SteveVolz, who heads NOAA’s satellites division, and #JeffDillen, deputy NOAA general counsel — led the investigation into whether NOAA’s scientific integrity policies were violated during the so-called Sharpiegate scandal of President Donald Trump’s first term.

Keep your Sharpies ready.
With enough magical thinking, and creative drawing, one can will the storms away.

@ponderingpolitics.bsky.social discusses a DESPERATE Donald Trump who was caught spreading a fake photo as backlash over his immigration fiasco intensifies. This is fucking #SharpieGate all over again!!

Desperate Trump CAUGHT Spreadi...
@Wileymiller Another #SharpieGate?
Instead of fixing his mistakenly inflated tariffs I think Trump will probably just write "4 x" on the formula with sharpie & blame the original economists for his administration's market crashing error, like a #SharpieGate 2.0. 😭
After backing Trump’s false hurricane claim in 2019, Neil Jacobs is now set to lead America’s top weather agency. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/commentary/2025/02/10/world/trump-sharpiegate-noaa/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #commentary #worldnews #neiljacobs #nationaloceanicandatmosphericadministration #noaa #sharpiegate #donaldtrump
Trump's National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration ( #NOAA ) leader Neil Jacobs was the original #SharpieGate acting director that lied about Trump's clearly sharpied fake hurricane path being accurate in his 1st term. This is the kind of slavishly stupid sycophant the Republican controlled Congress is approving Trump put in charge of every government agency.

Trump nominates ‘Sharpiegate’ figure to head NOAA
"
"In September 2019, after Trump apparently used a Sharpie to alter the projected path of Hurricane Dorian on a map to depict Alabama in its path, .. storm did not ultimately make landfall in Alabama."

@qoker989 This is because of #sharpiegate. That's how pathetic #Trump is.
>> #Trump’s #Sharpiegate grudge may have cost #NOAA’s acting chief scientist his job.
That was in 2020.
#Projecy2025 is a blueprint for what #Trump intends to do in his second term.
#TrumpIntendsTo fire anyone who contradicts him or delivers conflicting information
On a lighter note, Tropical Depression, Sean and L94 attempting a #sharpiegate (2020) reenactment
@wasootch @chowderman aware of them. Friend was MAGAts and refused to hear anything bad about Trump. When he lost AZ in 2020, she went off on #SharpieGate and said election officials were corrupt. I tried to tell her we have used them for years, printing on back offset so if it bled through, wouldn’t affect ballot. Election officials were Republicans, not corrupt. Reason didn’t work. She posted Rudy’s 4 Seasons screed. I ignored her and #DeleteFacebook as it was toxic.
An interesting twist of fate: While #Trump was invited, he did not attend.
#Sharpiegate ensued instead.

He "congratulated" the Poles--an odd sentiment given the nature of the commemoration.

Every left-handed person innately understands why the non-smudging aspect of the Sharpie is desirable. #SharpieGate
I can't believe I'm actually discussing this.
sérieux il y a un #sharpiegate ! 🤣🤣🤣

Trump allies have become fixated on "Sharpiegate," a controversy alleging that MAGA voters in Arizona were tricked into using Sharpies to have their votes invalidated. But elections officials say there's no problem reading or counting those ballots. https://www.thedailybeast.com/trumpkins-fixate-on-bogus-sharpie-ballot-controversy

#sharpiegate brings this quote to mind. Guess the book.
"But by far the more important reason for the readjustment of the past is the need to safeguard the infallibility of the Party [...] For to change one's mind or even one's policy, is a confession of weakness"
