Yep. Good thing it wasn't the Washington post instead of the Atlantic - Bezos would have buried it.

I wonder what all the so-called progressives who thought Tulsi Gabbard would make a good president think of her now.

The Space X flight was to have launched in September, on some sort of data gathering mission. Then the crew of the ISS got stranded and NASA repurposed the SpaceX flight. This all happened in August and September. /2

I said that the fault Is with Boeing.

SpaceX was a month behind schedule - but shit happens - the delay is just part of the story. Boeing stranded those astronauts. But the plan to bring them home was developed four months before trump became the so-called president. /1

The main fault is Boeing's who couldn't get them home in the first 1st place. In August 2024 NASA came up with a game plan to contract/pay SpaceX to help get them home by Feb. SpaceX was 1 mo. behind schedule, so the astronauts had to stay an extra month waiting for SpaceX to get its shit together.

I've heard quite a few posters who are still mainly on twitter, say they're staying because, "we still have to fight the good fight..." or something like that. I think that's one of the big problems for progressives - they think posting on social media is actually doing something.

True. The plan to bring them home was hatched in August 2024. A hydraulic issue with the SpaceX rocket actually caused a one month delay in their return, which had been scheduled for February.

I've heard a number of people argue that your article is a defense of Bezos's "personal liberties and free markets" statement. Someone stated that now "everyone owes Bezos an apology." Is that true? Were you defending Bezos? I read it as a subtle criticism. Which is it?

Starmer and Macron embarrassed themselves and their countries last week by coming to the white house and bending the knee to the new American fascist dictator. Hopefully they'll grow a pair after team trump's shameful ambush of the hero of the free world, Zelensky.

Of course, he wasn't as bad as Trump, who lied about everything and rambled on about things that didn't have anything to do with anything.

If people didn't know better, they might think that France and the US are only a couple of tweaks away from agreeing on everything, which is not remotely true.

Well, that was a pretty wishy washy string of euphemisms from Macron just now.

because that legislation won't even make out of committee. It definitely not make it to the floor. It would just be for show - a pretense of actually doing something while knowing it's doomed to fail. Brownshirts don't suddenly turn on their nazi-in-chief.

Love Independence Pass - been thru there many times. Is this from National Park Area. The last time I was there it was the first day it opened on June 1, and it was snowing like crazy and 32 degrees.

Two more years. The Dems are odds on favorites to take both houses in the midterms - the fascists are going to do everything they can to stop that.

LOL. Lawsuits. πŸ˜€

The rule of law is so passΓ©. I'm old enough to remember when lawsuits could actually effect public policy, protect the Constitution, administer justice. Now the courts are bought off and the DOJ is a fascist organization.

DEMOCRACY IS DEAD.

Treason. Fraud. Obstruction. Murder. Rape. It doesn't matter. The courts are bought off and the DOJ is in the hands of the fascists. There will be no justice.

What action are you proposing. Give me ONE actually idea. Are you going to propose legislation that won't even get a vote? Are you going to speak more harshly? Are you going to form violent militias? ONE idea. Just ONE. Otherwise just STFU. It's your lack of leadership that got us to this point.

He didn't say billionaires, but he still got the percentage of wealth they control wrong. The most recent data indicates that the top 1% controls around 31% of the wealth. The issue now is not wealth, it's POWER. The billionaires have purchased all levels of govt. and the courts. Democracy is dead.

lol. Empty rhetoric. I would like to hear what he thinks congress CAN do. Propose legislation that won't even get a vote? Form their own militias? Speak more harshly? I'd REALLY like to know they can do when all three branches are controlled by the fascists. I think it's up to the people now.
