It escapes me how anyone can support the catholic church after all the sexual abuse and their efforts to cover it up.

Maybe IMPOTUS "prizes loyalty above all else" because so few people are crazy enough to be loyal to a turd like him?

Industry is always quick to tout the cost of Federal regulation. But they never mention the cost of deregulation. How many cases of cancer does it take to cost a trillion dollars?

How about if I claim my wife is an emotional support animal who should fly for free?

In a way I agree with this. If you're going to ignore everything these people say why continue to pay them?

More like Russia where he will be greeted as a hero.

Greeted for sure, but not as a hero. Russians are smarter than that. More likely as a useful idiot.

the Trump White House has hit a new LOW...

It's pretty low but it's got some tough competition. The IMPOTUS base will love it.

The Boeing suits cut all those corners on the Max development to save money. I'm sure they paid themselves a big bonus as a result of all those savings. Now it looks like they would have saved more if they had listened to their engineers.

Why bother to advise IMPOTUS? He's not going to pay attention to anything an advisor says.

It is in everyone's best interest for actual scientists and engineers on the ground to be drafting and implementing rules

True, but that's not what is happening now. All the rules are being written but industry lobbyists with little regard for what the laws say. Some of the worst regs are being held up by the courts but the Senate judge production line is working on that.

Saddam was an evil man as were his kids. They did need to go.

Maybe so, but where were all the suicide bombers when Saddam was running the place? You could walk down the streets in Baghdad and not worry about a bomber. ISIS wouldn't dare show its face. Once he was gone they were a daily occurrence. Maybe Saddam is what you have to have to maintain order in that part of the world.

Ds tried to pack the Court? Maybe I missed something. Is Merrick Garland on the Court?

It's fake news. His next executive order will change the spelling of jenius.

It's all about controlling of the woman's body.

Sad to say, but I'm afraid that you're right. One anti abortion type said he (of course he) thought they had won the war against abortion and now they were going after birth control.

It always amazes me how Rs claim to be big believers in "right to life" but one the kid is born they don't mind feeding it poison or sending it off to die in some stupid war.

The Cancer Society is wrong! All those wind turbines IMPOTUS stopped from being built would have caused a cancer epidemic.

Trump stuck his grubby little fingers into models mouths to check their teeth during beauty pageants.

They should have bit those fingers off.

If he had published his tax returns like every other President in recent history this wouldn't be a problem for him. It makes you wonder what he's hiding.

they're really just using up inventory

It's all new stuff. The SRBs (the only rocket NASA ever bought that killed a crew) is similar to what the shuttle used but longer. The rocket body is built using Shuttle external tank tooling but it's new build. Basically it won't do anything the Saturn 5 didn't do. 50 years after the Wright Brothers flew we were building supersonic jets. NASA is living in the past. Sigh.

And yes, I'd love to see it lift off.

What on Earth was an airliner doing flying in the middle of a shooting war? It's not like there was any secret to what was going on. No airliner should have been within 1,000 miles of Iran. The airline suits that let that flight take place are idiots.

They'll still use the thing once and chuck it into the ocean, just like they did 50 years ago. If I built rockets for a living that's what I'd want my customers to do. Then I get to sell more rockets. We need something better than rockets but at least SpaceX is trying to get the costs down a little by reusing boosters. Why can't NASA do the same?

At this point, I'd say he is clueless in that area.

At this point I think the evidence suggests that he's pretty much clueless in all areas. And Rs love it.

Everyone is giving far to much credit to IMPOTUS when they try to come up with reasons as to why he did this. He did it because that's what his gut said. Any attempt to follow his reasoning assumes that he thought out the decision in some way. There is no reason to think that is the case. Somebody made the mistake of mentioning that this could be done and he said "Cool! Do it!" End of process.
