@catlynne333 I'll also point out that my wife is an evangelical #MAGA. Our politics are polar opposites; it wasn't always that way. We've chosen not to discuss politics, because preserving the bond is more important.
@catlynne333 Keep in mind that today's #NASA path to Mars began in 2010 when President Obama gave a speech here at KSC establishing that as the goal. That was minutes after meeting with Elon Musk at the SpaceX launch pad, where Obama pledged to help SpaceX achieve reusability.
Elon is a crackpot and a general menace to humanity. That said, his companies do a lot of good. California's carbon footprint is down because so many people drive Teslas; that's per the CA government.
@catlynne333 A response like that is a good way to get me to place you on mute. I don't want to hear it. You're confusing Elon Musk with the tens of thousands of good people who work at SpaceX, some of whom are my friends. If you're going to call my friends "ass holes," then please unfollow me.
#California governor Gavin Newsom calls a special session of the state legislature to pass laws protecting the state from #Trump retaliation.
#Politics Not meant as a snark, but a serious question ... Would the Dems have done better if they'd stuck with Biden instead of tossing him overboard for Harris?
Kamala ran a great campaign, no doubt, but if the white male voters ran to #Trump because they didn't want to vote for a woman of mixed ancestry, would some of them voted for Biden? Or would we have lost other voters who thought he's too old?
A question for political scientists and historians to answer.

Just as predicted, he will get away with everything he's done, the DOJ is making sure of that:

@teengee Oh, for sure. NASA would become his personal piggy bank. He would do to NASA what RFK Jr. is about to do to the FDA.
@teengee Who would stop them? The congressional Republicans sure won't.

@Armchaircouch You're assuming that #Trump allows elections to be held.
Idle thought ... Will #Trump nominate Elon Musk to be #NASA Administrator?
Elon has so many conflicts of interests, but the Republicans have shown that they don't care, they'll approve him anyway.
Trump's last administrator, Jim Bridenstine, just abruptly resigned from a NASA advisory committee. I wonder if he's coming back. Bridenstine was widely respected and non-partisan; I'd rather him than the dancing dips**t.

@MLClark Yep, I had the same thought, get my vaccines while I can.
Is this when we claim the election is rigged and start looking for fake electors? 🤔
The numbers are bad for Democrats across the board. What a total disconnect between good governance and malevolence.
I've always said that the electorate gets the government they deserve.
For all the #Biden administration accomplished the last four years, it went unappreciated and unrecognized.
I fully expect #Trump on inauguration day to order arrests of his political opponents. The deportation camps come next. The courts will go along.
Welcome to 1933 Germany.
