The last time a president was dumb enough to try wide tariffs, republicans lost 55% of the seats they controlled in Congress. Like, that’s “pass Amendments” levels bad for Trump.

Taking credit for a woman’s words…

Instead, you got the party that sent 2000 lbs bombs and wants to eradicate the people of Gaza so he can build some casinos.

To what end? What is the purpose that you feel you need to correct that inaccuracy, because she did not say “A former space communications specialist with NASA and later, the U.S. Space Force” like her actual bio does, even though you, and anyone else reading, understood that context?

And with 30 under 30, it’s 1,230 people a year. It’s just a list of influential under 30 year olds across various industries. It’s going to include good and bad people. Forbes itself addresses it even: https://www.forbes.com/sites/forbesunder30team/2023/11/28/hall-of-shame-the-10-most-dubious-people-ever-to-make-our-30-under-30-list/

She’s someone who distills space science down to easy to consume media to the point she specialized and got a job doing it for the government, so she has credentials to be able to talk about space on social media. That’s all the more she was saying.

Language is intended to convey content. Are you unable to understand what she said and need an adult to explain to you what she meant? While the wording could be less ambiguous, it does not detract from what she was trying to convey. She wasn’t posting a CV, and trying to dismiss her like this feels like you’re trying to come up with any reason to invalidate what she is saying.

Yep. Guy was arrested this morning and will be facing interstate felony charges.

I suppose Trump can pardon him if he wins.

… But that was a Bush thing.

"You've got to read this," Fran Townsend remembers the president telling her. "He said, 'Look, this happens every 100 years. We need a national strategy.'"

Thus was born the nation's most comprehensive pandemic plan -- a playbook that included diagrams for a global early warning system, funding to develop new, rapid vaccine technology, and a robust national stockpile of critical supplies, such as face masks and ventilators, Townsend said.

Like, Regeneron and Moderna were direct US DARPA funding that came out because Bush was certain a new flu pandemic was enroute any day now.

Gonna be honest: Yes. You know one side is going to keep committing child murder on purpose until made to stop. They went out to murder children, looked children who were cowering in the eyes, and murdered them in cold blood. Then they went back, put their own children near their weapon stores, hid among their children, and begged third parties to keep them from getting punished for murdering children. Considering the last major hostage trade gave the children murders their chief child murderer back, I would not want to arrange another trade of child murderers for civilians who did nothing wrong other than be close to them.

Israel hasn’t been fighting these child soldiers. They were part of the Yemeni civil war.

… Israel will sink our ships if they find them inconvenient.
