President Trump: The NEW one and only politics thread

This is going to be tough for all the sportswriters who LOVE them some Leach.

He's smarter than most football coaches for sure and can be entertaining, but I find him completely tiresome.

Aside from this, he's constantly running down his own players in public and never takes the blame for anything.

 

I don't believe there's any "fireman" connection. What's confusing is that "rescue" is a common name for firefighter organizations, and fire stations are often numbered. So you see something red, with the word "rescue" and a huge "1" . . . and you think "fireman!".

He simply rescues broken coffee machines.

Never enough aliens to kill, I guess.

So much MAGA ...

 

We have not been separating children from asylum seekers until their status is determined since 1998.

And the Bureau of Labor Statistics disagrees with your "not really, wages are rising" retort. If you have data proving otherwise, I'd love to see it.

 

Doesn't matter. Trump wants to point at the sky and imagine space fighters going "pew pew pew."

 

Space has already been militarized. It's just that no one talks about it much. If it drops in the pot vs. the Russians or Chinese, one of the first things that will happen is that they'll try to take down our GPS satellites. There are hardened satellites in orbit, and I'd be willing to bet that there are some in orbit that are essentially giant canister shells built to send anti-sat buckshot into the orbit of the GPS sats. Lasers as well, either already up or available to be launched at need. We've got them too, either in orbit or launchable.

Orbital mechanics makes where a given satellite will be when completely predictable. That means that taking a shot at our GPS is not that difficult. Satellites are by their nature somewhat fragile, their antenna and solar cells need to be external. They are in general a soft kill. I'm sure that we know that and have taken steps to harden our GPS and recon/ElInt sats. No one really knows as yet who has the advantage in the hunter/killer vs defense race in space.

 

We don't negotiate with terrorists.
