Oh boy. Welcome to the fun house. On top of everything else, according to Forbes:
In a flurry of activity last week, Anthony Scaramucci became the White House communications director while President Trump accepted Sean Spicer's resignation. In doing so, President Trump gave one of the biggest microphones in the world to someone who believes the Earth is 5,500 years old.
Yep, you read that right. In an interview on CNN in 2016
… Scaramucci said he believes the Earth is 5,500 years old, saying the scientific community has gotten things wrong in the past ...
"You're saying the scientific community knows, and I'm saying people have gotten things wrong throughout the 5,500-year history of our planet," said Scaramucci in the interview.
Scaramucci goes on to say that human history is 5,500 years old. It's unclear whether he believes both or only the latter. However, written history dates back to over 5,500 years while human artifacts date back well over 10,000 years.
I wonder which tectonic plate is giving itself a blow job. I’m betting on the Juan de Fuca plate. It just sounds like it could … or should.
