Do you want to make the case that it should never have been built?

Welcome to the future.

Technology is moving us into another unknown future even than faster ever. Decisions we make today will decide whether there is a future for humanity.

Today's inventions are obsolete in years now. Not decades or centuries. Years. Months sometimes.

Also if I was around 150 years ago then I would not be around today. That would be a real bummer for my family.

Re 11

Now that is interesting.

My great great (not sure how many greats) grandfather (who later became a general) also served under General Pershing as a Colonel and he chased Pancho Villa across the border and Pancho was shot in the leg (by one of his troops most likely) at The Battle of Guerrero.

Re 2

" Does this mean the GOP finally has grown a spine?"

Don't hold your breath. Turning even bluer won't help with that.

Similar to telecom, only the infrastructure (cable) was eventually used (didn't go obsolete).

Interesting point. How long will we even need all these data centers? Is anyone actually studying the future sustainability of these technologies yet?

Phone lines are practically obsolete now. Most of the systems I spent hundreds or even thousands of hours training on and installed and maintained all the way up thru the 2000's have gone or are going to soon be obsolete and overcome and replaced by the latest technologies.

"My military hero is Smedley Butler"

Yeah I was thinking him too. But then if I'm going back into history I'd have to go with George Washington.

Who, after winning the Revolutionary War, and been given the reigns of ABSOLUTE POWER, he voluntarily relinquished that power rather than seeking a crown or dictatorship, and he helped establish the U.S. Constitution and peaceful transitions of executive office.

Semper Fi

Now when a Dem introduces an article when they're seated in the House

No worries. It will be.

It was a very close vote.

The only reason it did not pass this time is because there were 11 dems and 7 pubes absent.

Enjoy the delay.

And actually this was a shot from within the opposition party fired at itself.

The Dems haven't even got their ships in the water yet. But the armada is assembling.

Most good prosecutors know not to charge if they don't have a good chance at convicting.

The House should do the same.

Impeachment is essentially political in nature.

Sometimes it's not about the conviction. Though that would be nice.

...

Impeachment should mean something. Right now it's just a daily headline.

Politics is a blood sport.

It means a shot was fired across the bow of the opposition. It means another shot can and probably will be fired . And this one might hit its target. So you best slow that bullshat down. Or we will fire again.

We're listening.

Obviously not. Did you not hear the American People??

They spoke loud and clear. We've had enough of the BS.

After getting your arses beat soundly you all just keep digging that hole of hate cruelty and suffering.

Good luck with that. Make it nice and deep.

We will bury you in it.
