We're here on earth to fart around, and don't let anyone tell you different ~ Vonnegut
The web was a mistake. I'm ready and willing to go back to carrier pigeons.

Hold dear, such as: prosecuting corruption, insurrectionists, pedophiles, rapists, kidnappers, torturers, murderers. You know...the base level of a civil - just - society. Republicans can no longer claim to be the "law and order" party until the heat death of the universe.

Ivana was Maxwell's best friend, they would troll schools together for victims. Literal testimony to the FBI from a victim and not one reporter, not one, has asked about this.

I think this tip line stuff is going to be the prime distraction. They want people to focus on the unverifiable and let that backfire giving cover to hide the more damning evidence. Don't fall for it people.

Dems should have defanged ice when they had the chance. Why are they carrying weapons for civil violations? Just proves Dem leadership helped jeopardize everyone’s safety and are complicit with these murders for a campaign issue

"Trump and His Party Have Put Ilhan Omar in Danger for Years"

A complicit media and her own party doesn't question any of it. This is America, where they clutch their pearls to lecture the left to "tone down their rhetoric".

Not a vanity film, naked corruption. Repukes spent millions of tax dollars, used illegally obtained info, most likely from *russia*, investigated Hunter over a small car loan from his dad and they lied calling that pay to play. But 28m right into Melanomas pocket for...? And crickets...

762K+ dead by USAID cuts, mostly children. Kidnapping, torturing migrants, visitors and executing citizens. 14m about to lose health care. Vendetta prosecutions. Handing Russia Ukrainian intel. Murdering fisherman. VE coup. Stealing 500m from VE. Crypto scams insider trading. Worst human in 80 years

This is cosmically insane. This traitorous ghoul. I doubt even his moronic audience is dumb enough to believe this. But I've been wrong about the depths of their stupidity before.

Omar isn't in there with them, they're in there with her!

The goal is white supremacy. It's the media that doesn't appreciate this by never, ever, questioning this goal. We're at a societal breaking point

You think there is a middle ground for supporting Nazis?Aligning yourself with Nazis makes you a Nazi. *Every* Republican is a Nazi and every single voter that supports Republicans are Nazis.

It has everything to do with politics when AL sens block competitive bidding for an SLS program plagued by quality control issues and kickbacks. Which makes going to a traitorous Nazi inevitably look better in comparison. Of course it's cheaper when costs are baked into dev costs to send up Starlink

It was started under Obama because the economy was obliterated by bush and friends and Repubs forced austerity. You're clearly uninformed on this topic...
January 20, 2026 at 7:54 PM
No, repubs are responsible for gutting nasa, SpaceX is the beneficiary. Cost+ has always been political with a mix of capitalist corruption. SpaceX is no different, they still mark up 100%! If nasa were given the tools ($$), they would be just as “efficient“ without angelic “competitive spirit“
January 19, 2026 at 9:51 PM
“Competitive spirit”. I mean, come on. I won’t argue that companies routinely use that “competitive spirit” to under quote to win, or rip off gov subsidies. SpaceX is 100% markup alone! Politics, jobs programs, austerity, it never gives NASA a real chance to shine but always capitalists gain.
January 19, 2026 at 9:34 PM
It isn’t about “belief”. And I shared actually 2 points without cherry picking. You can’t have one without the other. So, no, it says the complete opposite of your point unless you just ignore half the study. It appears far more complicated than just “SpaceX good”.
January 19, 2026 at 9:02 PM
Nah, I’ll look at the actual research. snip: industry-built spacecraft are associated with lower cost, especially for lower-risk classification C and D projects. However, for higher-risk class A and B projects, developer type has no significant effect

Doh!

The only mystery is why his Christian Nazi cult is so pathologically obsessed with him to the degree they are by never being embarrassed by his cosmic insanity. The stupidity is off the charts counterproductive and exasperating, yet there they are. 8/10 approve.

January 18, 2026 at 11:15 PM
but nothing shocking about the feckless media purposely failing again to inform people by calling out the lies being spewed by this admin about “security” and Canada as a target.
January 18, 2026 at 11:12 PM
And his kids board sit corps with the most blatant conflicts of interest and have seen crazy insider trading off policies from this admin. Hunter got a car loan for $4k from dad (to influence peddle!). That he paid back. GOP spent years and millions of tax payer money to investigate. But both sides!

So, the gestapo is ok as long as they don't wear masks...
