Where does Obama fit into that picture? If you want to blame the GOP for gradually reducing NASA’s budget, Obama was the one who finally drove the stake through the heart of the manned space program.

There are normal Department of Defense projects that are intended to prevent just that.
Certain classes of ships or tanks or whatever get greenlit even though DOD doesn’t need or want them, and they’re criticized as wasteful spending. In reality, their purpose is to keep shipyards and factories open, and the skilled w…

Same reason I can’t fathom how people carry on affairs for years, to the point they even have “second families,” manage to pull it off. I have a hard enough time juggling a full-time job and one wife. How does anyone find the time necessary to do that AND keep a second wife/family satisfied? Especially without getting…

Too bad the Duke boys will get arrested the second they leave Hazzard County.

I’d be OK with scraping a couple billion off of military spending and entitlements as well. My point was, we pay a shit ton in taxes already, so why don’t we demand our government be a little more frugal, judicious or efficient in its spending before we give them more?

On top of that, the funding for the programs that sin taxes provide never drops or gets phased out as the problem you’re supposedly trying to solve goes away. So if you cut smoking by 75 percent in 10 years with a cigarette tax, that should be a good thing ... except now there’s a $30 million hole in the budget and…

Better spending of our tax dollars would fix a lot of things. Unfortunately, the folks in Washington don’t seem to have that skill in their toolbox and have not had it for generations. Which makes me wonder why in the hell anyone would advocate for more taxation?
The root problem is not a lack of money, the root…

I’m amazed the tires held up that long. Rolling on the abrasive asphalt instead of indoors or concrete like they’re probably designed to, I can’t imagine those things would have made it the entire trip.

Six of the 13 federal inmates executed under Trump were white.

I thought it was released as Junkyard Simulator ‘18?

And I’ve got a job and adult responsibilities to attend to.

You can’t seriously believe this. If for no other reason than there are, have, and always will be political extremists of all stripes.

These are not the Antifa you are looking for. Move along.

Yeah, I got some of the practical optics of CHAZ, but it is analogous to the Capitol situation. For the sake of law and order, you can’t have people take over part of your city for a couple of weeks just like you can’t have people storming the Capitol. You simply can’t tolerate that behavior, no matter how bad you…

Fair enough. And I’m also on the side of “fuck those guys” when it comes to the Capitol-stormers. Find them and prosecute them to the fullest extent of the law. Make an example of them. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes. I have no sympathy for them.

I thought Progressives didn’t like profiling?

Problem is, there is someone out there in Internetworld who might see something you post and decide you are a horrible fucking human being. You will never meet this person. They will only be known to you as “Administrator” or “Moderator.” They will decide your fate, and there will be no appeal, and you must bow before…

Hate to break it to you, but so is a lot of left wing activism. What we need is less “activism” all around.

Huntsville normally gets one or two snowstorms a year, but has had some storms in the 7-10 inch range in recent history. Do the cleats help with ice? Gotta imagine that’s a much bigger issue there.

Three of these were produced by Adam Carrolla’s company. Strange to think he might become one of the most important auto racing historians of the modern age.
