Leopards…leopards everywhere.

Sure, he was looking for solutions and allowed smarter people to steer the research. He also allowed the smarter man to take his place in office.

It could be that simple. He didn’t realize the potential the first time around and so many things got in the way, including a disaster that tried to force a leadership role on him. This time enough was changed and built up to prevent the obstacles, and he not only can avoid justice for his past, but he can, in his own words, “do anything and they’ll let you.”

As an American, I think you’re spot on. I keep thinking how America is portrayed in the series “Years and Years” might happen this time around.

I was told in posts from the last disaster that Spain has floods all the time and this isn’t a big deal. I’m beginning to think they might have been not telling the truth.

Something about pigs and lipstick…

When I first saw one pass by me in reality, my first reaction was “jesus”. And the colors I’ve seen on display (a Tesla store is nearby), wtf? Not that a good color would help a lot, it still looks very wrong.

But it is nice sometimes to finally get remembered, even if it’s for blame.

As a Gen-X I will never blame the later generations. Especially Gen Z and younger, if I was in their shoes I’d be livid. You bring me into this mess and then tell me it’s on me to fix it? F U

We’ll make the countries they’re deported to pay for it, I suppose.

The 5 blade razor is probably the first example I can think of when The Onion broke reality and predicted the future.

Just have to look at climate science for an example of science taking a backseat to political will.

Going through that every morning will shorten your lifespan.

That was the previous phase. Continuous government control means you don’t have to worry about making the next person in office look bad with the mess you made. You know the CEOs they bring in to help deconstruct a dying company for its assets? Why would you need an EPA agency when you aren’t protecting anything anymore?

The timing of all this, as well as multiple conversations with Trump right after the election, can’t be coincidence. It suggests a green light was given, which would mean there was still caution while it was uncertain who would be in office.

If the Constitution and related things persist, it will be the last Trump term. And maybe some lessons learned on the way on why the GOP in control is a bad thing.

You forgot racism, a quiet cornerstone of the Southern Strategy. Not as quiet now, since it worked so well in growing a solid voter base who is now more encouraged when those parts are shouted loudly. Could be why Roe v. Wade was allowed to disappear, didn’t need that windmill to charge at anymore.

Maybe not. We knew what direction Trump would take.

I think that’s the most disappointing part. His win is valid, the will of the majority of Americans. Why they picked this direction (and mostly who to blame) is what everyone is arguing about. The sad part is the MAGA fanatics will never see the irony that their decision is acknowledged by the rest and no insurrection is done, only preparation to save people from the fallout. They can’t see the difference in behavior as they laugh at the “liberal tears”. We’re crying for the state of the country, something they can’t conceive.

I thought we had a good idea what was where in orbit. How is this a sudden surprise? I had first read it thinking that it had drifted recently for some reason, but it’s been in that place for 50 years. I get that as more satellites go up things become more risky, but this should have been a known problem a long time ago.
