Clinton wasn't too bad as I recall once he stopped listening to Hillary the C*NT! Bush had it in the bag until he acted like a dumbass about the economy.

The SECOND I do that I'll get an email from one of them wanting to know why they can't log in. The accounts aren't hurting anything, so I'll leave them be.
Thank You Blondie
So what?
That's a real question: so what?
Let's mention that Kamala Harris called Biden a racist and white supremacist on global TV during a presidential debate....then went on to become his VP.
Politicians and public figures spout nonsense for performance art.
They change their minds given more information.
Rush Limbaugh ripped Trump on the regular during the 2016 primary, fully and wholeheartedly backed Ted Cruz. >> a few years, he's fully onboard the train and Trump is giving him a medal.
Worse than, say, Marco Rubio? Or JD Vance? Or TULSI GABBARD? (Tulsi thinks I've forgotten that she posted an hysterical screed about tanks on the Mall when Trump was planning a 4th of July celebration, but I haven't forgotten.)
Nope. Retired. And all my savings are intact because I left the stock market in December, knowing what the Orange Fat ass was going to do to the economy, now entering a recession. Too bad punk.
yeah… Getting fired is not being retired and the change in your beggar‘s cup isn’t the stock market.
I see you dancing with joy! You go girl!Nope. Retired. And all my savings are intact because I left the stock market in December, knowing what the Orange Fat ass was going to do to the economy, now entering a recession. Too bad punk.
So, in other words, you have pussed out! Recessions with corrections are good, with crashes are great! On another note, why would you worry about losing $5.50 in the market?Nope. Retired. And all my savings are intact because I left the stock market in December, knowing what the Orange Fat ass was going to do to the economy, now entering a recession. Too bad punk.
I glanced at just a few names at the beginning of the list. There are accounts from 2006 with one post.
A lot of them still lurk. I had a blast from the past just the other day email me about somesuch.

The ISS is almost at end of life. Musk himself has come out and said it should be deorbited as soon as possible. Musk needs the US in order to launch his vehicles. Where else is he going to do that? We pull the plug and SpaceX will be out of business.
The US has, in pretty much total secrecy, launched, kept a mission alive for almost two years, and landed the X-37B space plane. Without Elon Musk. The capability is there, if we want to fund it.
And then there is DOGE. Government efficiency. How about cancelling all of those SpaceX contracts? How much could we save there? Since we are all about cutting government costs, let's trim those contracts. Haven't seen that happen yet. Not holding my breath either. I do hope it will happen one day. We shall see. It will obviously take a political change. Maybe if the other side gets in power they will be so pissed off that they go and do it. I don't want to see the left gain power back because they represent too many positions I am opposite with, but that would be one thing about it I would not oppose.

Not sure if you are seeing the big picture. Have you ever looked at the specs of the X-37? Hell, it gets to orbit as cargo on the freaking Falcon. Things cargo bed is the size of a pickup truck. The thing is very cool. And Boeing did do a good job on it. Boeing also got paid almost twice what SpaceX did to develop the Commercial Crew capsule (A bit over 2.5 billion to a bit under 4.5 billion) Now pay attention.
The capsule Boeing provided for CC was literally years later than SpaceX. Provided ZERO extra capability for almost double the money and schedule. Failed its first empty flight. Failed its second flight, stranding its passengers on the ISS? Brings a whole new meaning to "If it aint Boeing, I aint going!!!" So you think paying Boeing is going to get you better outcomes than paying SpaceX?
So, all the satellites that SpaceX launches, those can sit idle while you wait for someone else to deliver the capability to launch that much stuff? ULA retired the Atlas. The Centaur will neve match the cadence or cost of Falcon or Falcon Heavy. Hard for expendable rockets to do that. Do you know how many foreign sat launches and billions of revenue that SpaceX brings in? They accounterd for more than half of the launches in the entire globe in 2024. Who you going to pay to stand up that capability?
You want efficiency? You already have it but want to destroy it because you don't like the guy. You would rather cost the US billions upon billions for less capability? Nobody else is reusing rockets. Not yet, and nobody will be able to scale that for years, a decade or more. You like throwing away mutil-hundred million dollar rockets with every launch?
yeah, but Musk man bad!

Fire Damages 4 Tesla Cybertrucks in Seattle
Federal and local law enforcement authorities are investigating what caused the Sunday night fire, which came after a series of attacks against Tesla in rebuke of its chief executive, Elon Musk.

You know there's a significant cost to terminating a contract, don't you?
The Government Contractor’s Guide to Termination for Convenience
The Trump administration, as part of its efforts to reshape the federal government, began terminating federal contracts for the convenience of the government almost immediately after coming back to town. These contract terminations show no signs of slowing in the near term. Accordingly...

Boeing, or should I say McDonnel-Douglas, gutted their engineering capability in the name of efficiency and bean counting and have paid for it ever since. After the merger the bean counting culture of McDonnell-Douglas took over vs the engineering first culture that Boeing use to have.

I know some damn good Boeing engineers. But they are kept on a tight leash.
And in todays media spin chamber, there's this. Bondi says flat out that criminal action towards Tesla will result on charges. Heaslines all scream that she threatened the protestors.
Oh, and some "civilian" guy in Seattle got his sidewalk parked Model 2 torched.

As in illegally parked on the sidewalk? Can't say that wouldn't be satisfying to do to any ******* that does that no matter what they drive.
Is it a federal crime though? Would torching a Ford be less worthy of prosecuting?
As someone who doesn't believe hate crime laws should exist I don't think the crimes against a Tesla should be any different than crimes against any other car, business, or person.
