The first 100 days

Didn't they recently just scrap bringing back their ship for awhile?
They brought back the Starliner months ago but believed it was too dangerous to have the crew return in the ship. Not sure why NASA couldn’t have retrieved them in the last 8 plus months.

Not exactly a huge to-do. These astronauts would were already on a shortlist for a more extended space mission, but the odds of them being picked for it were low. They kind of viewed it as a unique opportunity and being up there for an extended period was a plan B that they were aware of when they took off. This wasn't Apollo 13.

Moreover, the Starliner failure, as well as the recent Spacx failures are examples of the risks that privatization still has for early stage space exploration.

I very lightly skimmed that an article that said some things about a space ship being stuck up in space, talking bout it being too dangerous to bring back. Think it was off of a current news site. I thought I remembered that ship returning, but I just assumed I was misremembering. Can't think of any other ship being stuck up in space other than that one. Must have been an old article & I just didn't realize.
 
So, let me get this straight.... so far we've labeled military history webpages for Jackie Robinson, the Navajo Windtalkers, and an African American medal of honor winner as "DEI" when reveiwing the pentagon's websites....

The anti-DEI initiative I is just a dogwhistle for publicly accepted racism.

There was 7-10 years in between first through third generations of fighter jets. Then jets became a little higher cost project, and the tech was able to last a little longer. It was 15 years between the next generation, and 20 years between the last generation. Now it has been 25 years since the last generation.

So it's probably about time for 6th gen. So I say bravo on Trump deciding to build the next gen jet. But wow, Boeing is not doing so well to depend on them putting out a product. It could be inferior quality, behind schedule, and have major cost overruns. Their last big project, the Starliner didn't fare so well. They had to do the return trip without pilots to ensure their safety. Doesn't make you feel confident in projects like this.

I'm glad though that Musk didn't sidle up to the offer table. A first run project w/ Space X doing the F-47 would have been a bigger disaster. I'm hoping that other companies like Lockheed Martin get more heavily involved this time. Hopefully it exceeds China's J-36.

Okay @aTUfan, time for you to take some medicine. You always said you just wanted people to come in legally (“through the front door”) and that your problem was with illegal immigrants.

Now, the people who came in legally, (through the front door) are being booted out for little to no justification. Are you going to stand by your word or are you going to be a hypocrite?

they were escorted in by Biden without actually meeting the requirements.

You ****ing liar

You never cared if people came in the way they were asked to come in and allowed to come in (on a probationary basis by the way) You just didn’t want them here. You don’t care to actually give people an opportunity to become American and escape violence and poverty. No one will ever be good enough for you.

What if some of those Haitians spent all of their time learning English, US history and civics in preparation for the US Citizenship test? Why do you think they don’t deserve to stay?

because I know people who did it the right way and Biden let people jump the line

The right way is whatever our government says it is, not what you say it is.

Did the folks coming through Ellis Island who signed their name come in the “right way” to you?

Remember, these people weren’t done. They were just given a pathway to citizenship. You want to take away that pathway for no reason.

Personally I would trade one of them for you no questions asked.

Trump has no teeth. He keeps backing off his tariff threats. People will just laugh at the next ones.

They also removed any pictures or named references to the "Enola Gay" aircraft that dropped the bomb. I wish I were kidding. The things that happen when you say, "Hey, ChatGPT... Go through all gov sites and auto-remove anything related to LGBT or "diversity".

Not smart enough to supervise automated actions.
 
Trump's tariffs and 'drill baby drill' policies are lambasted by Oil Executives in anonymous survey conducted quarterly by the Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas.


“The administration’s chaos is a disaster for the commodity markets,” one executive said. ”‘Drill, baby, drill’ is nothing short of a myth and populist rallying cry. Tariff policy is impossible for us to predict and doesn’t have a clear goal. We want more stability.”
“Uncertainty around everything has sharply risen during the past quarter,” another executive said. “Planning for new development is extremely difficult right now due to the uncertainty around steel-based products.”

“The threat of $50 oil prices by the administration has caused our firm to reduce its 2025 and 2026 capital expenditures,” an executive said. ”‘Drill, baby, drill’ does not work with $50 per barrel oil. Rigs will get dropped, employment in the oil industry will decrease, and U.S. oil production will decline as it did during COVID-19.”

He and co-president Musk don't give a crap, and Trump probably doesn't have a clue what his chaos government will do to the markets.
 
Trump now bragging that the Judiary, Legal system, Congress, bla bla bla, doesn't seem to be able to slow him down. He is bragging that he seems to be able to do anything he wants without anyone to slow him down. He's in the middle of tearing up the government that we have lived in for 200+ years, and is proud that he is destroying it with abandon. I hope the courts make him eat his words. I hope the people that can't afford cars at 25% higher cost also help drum him out of office.
 
Today, on his 69th day in office Donald Trump played golf at the course he owns in West Palm Beach, Florida. Since his inauguration on January 20th, it’s his 14th day of golf at that particular property and the 18th time he has played at one of his golf courses.
That means he has played golf on more than a fourth of the days since he was sworn in.
Based on a 2019 Government Accountability Office report which detailed the cost to taxpayers for moving his motorcade equipment and security personnel around as well as the immense cost of flying Air Force 1 for each of Trump’s first term golf trips, the total cost to date for Trump’s second-term golf outings is now up to $26,127,531.
I would love a monthly report detailing how much the sitting President costs the American taxpayers with travel expenses. Heck….Congress as well.
 

Mr “Tough on Crime” makes history as the first president to pardon a corporation… specifically one found guilty of charges of acting as a vehicle for money laundering.

So…for those keeping score at home… shoot a CEO who has a hand in the deaths of thousands of people? Death penalty….

Defraud the public and promote other criminal activity? Get off Scott free.

Break the windows of the US capitol in efforts to prevent constitutionally mandated processes? Get a Kennedy Center honor.

Break the window of a Tesla Cybetruck because the owner is a fascist? Get sent to a Salvadoran Prison.

Thats a really Utopian we live in.
 
Hey guys… quick check in…. How are the price of eggs doing today?
Looking great :)

 
Looking great :)

Did Corey Booker talk about the price of eggs?
He certainly had enough time to discuss eggs.
No, I thought I heard him talk about having boned your high school sweetheart though. Go listen to his speech and see if you can prove me wrong.

Well, he told another lie.
He must have been thinking of when he boned Nancy Pelosi. She's more his type.
