They don’t need conferences on OUR dime, we have gotomeeting.com and Skyp now SCREW conferences!!! These DAMNED CONFERENCES are nothing but a HUGE PARTY for them!!!!

[eyedigress]

Yep! The grifter in chief is gone.

The funny part is that they wanted to do it, but feared Trump officials waiting at the exit doors with pink slips for the federal attendees.

[Made In The USA]

Perfect, easy to see Trump is in charge.

[leftcoaster]

I guess their environment is suddenly getting too hot for them to hold this conference?

[BarbM]

Someone give me a tranquilizer - Im hyperventilating from all this WINNING!!!!!!!!!

I’m prepping for a colonoscopy tomorrow, and when I read things like this, I can’t help but smile.

President Trump even makes colonoscopies better.

[Let's Roll]

Probably realized they were going to have to pay for it out of their own pockets.

[Jim Noble]

The CDC is another agency that needs a HUGH dose of chelation therapy!!

The technical people are really quite good.

[Roger Kaputnik]

Agreed. And it would please me beyond words if Trump were to repeal the $1 billion Obama handed out to other assorted international and US gubmint organizations the week before Trump took the oath of office.

[Rome2000]

Attention FEDGOV apparatchiks.

The party is over.

That is all.

[Vince Ferrer]

Yet more winning!

And remember, this is just the first day, everyone. This was just one day's worth of winning.

[SuperLuminal]

Hooray!

[Freedom_Is_Not_Free]

I cannot wait until President Trump exposes anthropogenic global warming theory for the hoax it is. I am going to open a bottle of Dom Perignon that day.

[catnipman]

“adding that the agency is “currently exploring” whether it could reschedule the event later in the year.”

I would bet not ...

[catnipman]

“The CDC should not get involved in “climate change” issues.”

Neither should NOAA or NASA, and I’d love to see the climate parts of the NCAR budget completely eliminated.

DDT yes, perhaps the most effective mosquito killer. Now illegal.

Unfortunately, in every agency in the crosshairs, there will be good people at risk. I have been through such scenarios in the past, not as a govey employee, but as a business contracting with the govey. But one needs to look at the overall benefit to this country. If these people can be identified and retained in a slimmed-down CDC, it would likely benefit us ALL.

My first thought was the CDC raid that presumably went down yesterday morning at 3 am. Some are calling the story fake but...???
