..and building a new space thingy in Houston when they cannot manage a nasty hurricane is...economically viable because then it will need to be rebuilt after Houston screws up again with the next big hurricane.
I see you are joking, but just to sharpen the point a bit, that damn interstate highway system never created one job, damn them for building it. And that science government funds, nothing ever comes of it, it should be scrapped because the private sector will create all the science we'll ever need. And DARPA, imagine creating things like the internet, nothing of economic value will ever come it and certainly no jobs.
Well, years ago there were people saying one cannot travel faster than the speed of light. Errmmm...I guess people are still saying that.
If you want to play that game, then pick anything impossible or claimed to be impossible. Then claim it won't always be so. Then declare you've logically proven that it can be done because one day it will be done. Wow!!! This is an amazing new logical rule you've discovered. Anything, anything is possible!!
Well, at least no one will accuse the Evangelicals of honor and integrity ever again. Trump has exposed them for the hypocrites they've always been, and they are too stupid to realize how he's played them.
Yeah, the same Western civilization that created modern science and health care, democracies instead of dictatorships, outgrew the A-bomb, Tuskegee, napalm, and the Eugenics Movement and now attempts to counter those. It also outgrew slavery, which is still practiced in those nice local, multi-culti countries which periodically go on pogroms to "cleanse" their societies.
Trump's honesty? Yep, he honestly separated parents and children at the border to satisfy his Evangelical followers Christian values. He's turning back the rules and regs on pollution because he's being honest about a little pollution never hurt anyone, especially not those darling coal workers or the poor communities living in the shadow of the polluting industries. He honestly insulted two entire continents. He's honestly giving the racists in the U.S. cover to exercise their "freedom".
I think the current factless atmosphere on the right (and so a smaller extent on the left) is a phase. It will pass just because no zeitgeist lasts very long. Sooner or later, people will tire of the factless and want something they can trust. Most quality news organizations realize this and work hard at sourcing their stories.
The Stars are like pink unicorns. They are very pretty, but they exist on the edge of our imagination because you cannot get there from here. We can do wonders with astronomy, we cannot do wonders with space travel. Space is big...really really big...so big you cannot imagine how big. It also tends to be filled with radiation fields.
Not to split hairs, but could he just open his mouth like during a campaign speech? He's not stopped giving those so we could just plant him in California and face him west.
Nonsense. The Evangelicals and Trump have never evolved. They were made by G-d in His image. I guess even G-d makes mistakes. Maybe he'll get some mulligans like Trump gets when he cheats at golf.
What an enlightened frame of mind. So if a few thou infants, old people, poor people, etc. die, well that's just to show they aren't average Americans with good nutrition. Hey, you should tell the CDC, they'll be happy for this information...save them a whole lot of trouble and angst. I'm sure they'd listen to you.
More likely than your conspiracy imagination is that the many flus start in S. China where contact between humans and animals is less than sterile...pigs and chickens. The PRC, knowing they have no real legitimacy, is reluctant to allow that sort of bad press come out if they can avoid it. The fact that those diseases could kill millions never enters into the calculation.
And they aren't worried about invasion. Japan cannot and wouldn't want China. Russia cannot even manage their own country. There is no one else. Also, there isn't much China has that anyone wants except access to their domestic markets. And no invasion could supply that.
I don't believe it is Trump causing the friends of the U.S. to think twice, it is the fact that a significant portion of the U.S. electorate support el Presidente Tweetie that has them concerned. They now realize just how stupid the U.S. electorate can be and that problem is not going be fixed soon. There's no fixing stupid (to reuse a Ron White phrase).
Impeachment only if the Democrats take the House and are stupid enough to fall into that trap. El Presidente Tweetie would have a field day with it. And the Democrats probably are that stupid.
And the Senate is not going to turn enough Democrat (assuming it even does) to convict.
I'd rather that ePT gets thrown out on his ass in the next election.
Yep, as soon as we're all armed to the teeth, there will be a new rule: the perp gets to turn one, maybe two, into stiffs before we get a chance to whip out our weapons and open fire on the perp...miraculously missing any innocent by-standers, and there will be no chance law enforcement will see any of the citizenry waving guns around as a threat and shoot their asses for good measure.
In fact, we'll put in a new Amendment to the Constitution: we all get to whack 1 or 2 people before any serious prison time or the death penalty will result. The Law of the Jungle!!! Kill or be killed. Kill'em all, let G-d sort out the righteously armed from the armed perps. Oh, and no alcohol allowed anymore...ermm...it doesn't go well with guns. And no school children either, they don't go well with guns as well.

Hell, most of Texas is anti-science. They are big believers in Federal dollars, just as long as they don't have pay taxes.

Ah, someone makes an allegation and it is up to the victim to prove they are guilty? My...how...American of you.

Nah, he'd apologize only if backed into a corner and then blame the video on Google.
Lying is going a bit too far. Rather, Trump cannot discern any difference between belief and fact. He's not the brightest bulb on the tree.

Hmm...so you are arguing Trump made the stock market go up. And when it goes down will you still give Trump the credit?
The Stars are like pink unicorns. They are very pretty, but they exist on the edge of our imagination because you cannot get there from here. We can do wonders with astronomy, we cannot do wonders with space travel. Space is big...really really big...so big you cannot imagine how big. It also tends to be filled with radiation fields.
Hell, look at USA and Russian cooperation on the last U.S. election. Who says they cannot get along?
Trump is angling to get rid of the WTO. They won't bow to his grand overblown hair do.
Not to split hairs, but could he just open his mouth like during a campaign speech? He's not stopped giving those so we could just plant him in California and face him west.
Yeah, all those comments Trump made during the campaign about how he was going to screw China? Mere noise that China could easily ignore.
Nonsense. The Evangelicals and Trump have never evolved. They were made by G-d in His image. I guess even G-d makes mistakes. Maybe he'll get some mulligans like Trump gets when he cheats at golf.

You mean he is until he get sued because someone's daughter was killed with one of those guns.

Well, he'd like to stand NEXT to the bodies of the still warm victims, but you alt-right nutjobs have stacked so many of them there isn't room.
