news doesn't follow a narrative. (well, maybe at places like fox 'news' it does.) honestly, i feel like many trump voters were simply duped. sure, there are plenty that follow him because of his racist and sexist overtones and his 'their fault not ours' overtones, but generally i think many were coerced and misled down a partisan path, and trump simply saw a tree ripe for his exploitation. i, for one, have long believed that both parties are wounded, if not utterly corrupt. that's what power does, and that's what power seekers seek. that's why we, as americans, have a duty to be better educated about our system so as not to be hornswaggled by the carpetbaggers. it's up to US to open our eyes, educate our minds, and stay abreast of the day's events so that WE, THE PEOPLE, guard our precious freedoms...lest they be lost to those that would abuse them, and us. |

I firmly believe that true space expansion will not happen with any significance, until the people of the planet pull together as one. As far as space is concerned, we are Earthlings and or civilization is the Human Civilization. For that matter, any significant achievement towards the Kardashev Type One Civilization will be a planet-wide achievement of our species. If we are ever contacted by an alien civilization, they will see us as Humans from planet Earth. It doesn't matter who pays for it, who invented which technology, It matters that humans left their planet. It wasn't alligators, worms, bees, monkeys...Humans will be the ones that did it. The posturing we do to other people, nations, is immature and restrictive. It holds our species back from taking that next step. Space exploration is not about power and money, its about survival of our species. Our overpopulation problems are only going to get worse. Do we perish as a species or expand off-planet? |

Roscosmos General Director Dmitry Rogozin during the briefing on the results of the Big Challenges 2018 educational program
The head of Russia's space research corporation has spoken about its latest planned projects and noted that cooperation with the United States could continue on condition that the American side treats Russia as an equal partner. "As far as participation in the Deep Space Gatewayproject is concerned, if it's a purely American project with other participants performing minor helping functions, we are not interested in it. We are ready only to cooperation on equal terms," Dmitry Rogozin said in a major interview with TASS. "We have the Angara heavy carrier rocket and soon we will get the Federation spacecraft - the tests for the super-heavy project will start in 2028. Russia, like the United States has its own transport system to work in the far space. We were not born yesterday, you know," Rogozin said. "Unlike NASA, we already have the Soyuz MS manned spacecraft with a tremendous record of launches. Back in Soviet times designers foresaw the necessity of deep modernization for this vehicle, including its use in the Moon program." The official also told reporters that he had invited American, European and Japanese space research specialists to visit Moscow in November this year to mark the 20th anniversary of the International Space Station (ISS). "I think it is time to start discussing future international cooperation in the field of manned space flights. Even if we seal no contracts we will at least have a serious discussion on the future fate of the ISS and of our future actions," he stated. Rogozin also said that in October he plans to have a meeting with new NASA administrator at the Baikonur launching facility which Russia rents from Kazakhstan. Rogozin was appointed as head of Roscosmos in May this year as part of a major government reshuffle. In previous press comments he advocated increase international cooperation and trade in the sphere of space exploration, noting that Russia could use the revenues from selling its products - such as the rocket engines - to finance its own space program and develop the newest technologies and devices. Comment: While Trump has been touting the idea of the ISS being handed over to the private sector, the US deepstate needs to demonize Russia to justify its existence so it seems unlikely that any constructive cooperation will be allowed to happen between the two countries anytime soon: |

You started the thread with Trump in mind . Otherwise why start it?..to give a background on Hitler? Why? Then why didn't you list his atrocities as well ? so don't insult our intelligence with veiled attempts to diss the president I would respect it more if you just dissed the guy We're dummies. We support Trump. Blindly, as he would think it. It wasn't too long ago when we watched another party do the same thing with obama. What he doesn't realize, is that Trump is talking the talk we want to hear. Jobs, thriving economy, lower taxes, fair trade, getting along better with the world. Much to the dems dismay, we aren't as racist as they claim. That goes against their voting base something awful. We're drawing them into the ideas that finding jobs, and making a decent wage isn't such a bad idea. Many are finding out that obama was a sales pitch with nothing behind it. The giveaway didn't hold them. our perception is our reality, I suppose this: Trump is talking the talk we want to hear. is something salesmen are supposed to be very good at, and he certainly does. Unfortunately, most politicians do this towards their base, or their base would not be supporting them. and this: Many are finding out that obama was a sales pitch with nothing behind it. will also be true of Trump, depending on perspective of what 'nothing' is. for this Obama supporter though, the man had a history that backed up his words in terms of his goals and values, he also came in during near recession, and left us better than he found us. Id say thats something, even if it is never as simple as what a POTUS alone has done. as I said, politicians have a base because that base is hearing what they 'want to hear' POTUS does not accomplish anything with an independent vote or magic wand, they can only state what direction they will put their effort into. The rest is a matter the Congress and how they support or dont support those efforts. I dont remember Trump saying that legal immigrants would not be able to be citizens if they EVER accepted government assistance either. What has that to do with anything? |

They are not excuses, they are equally important responsibilities. the help is temporary, most are not LIVING on the scraps of assistance. most who believe they are have never had to try to and are only assuming from what they hear or what they have seen in any given event they witnessed on a day out and made assumptions about.

Why do that
|

Humm it all depends how you raise your kids... My grandson is 7 he has a kids 4 wheeler, can drive the ATV & got a 22 for Christmas that he knows how to shoot... My son has made sure he was taught the right way to use those things for my son had them as well... I was a single mom as well...my son learned the correct way to use those things and we rode 4 wheeler's together him on one and me on the other... Do they get hurt at times sure they do heck they can get hurt riding a regular bicycle or walking out the door.. I'm all for teaching kids the right way to use any type of motorized vehicles. Heck my son was riding horses on his on at 3 1/2 we made all the team penning and roping events by the time he was 12 was riding bulls.. At 12 he could drive my truck in the pasture and hook up the horse trailer... then helped me load the horses... So saying it is a single parents home problem is far from the issue... it all depends how one teaches their kids to use things the correct way ... But even then at times it is a learning curve.. |

Ya know, all of you are looking at this one sided...welfare fraud isn't just the consumers, it's also the store owners as well, where the bigger frauds take place... For all you deniers out there, a simple Google search will show this no on has denied fraud exists. the debate is whether the degree of fraud justifies treating all recipients as lazy and 'undeserving' of the little help it provides by overhauling the whole system to one which treats recipients as mere slaves to the taxpayers will of what things they should be able to purchase or eat or own. they 'should' get a job, but they HAVE to also have their kids supervised (which isnt free) have jobs in a vicinity they can get to, which meet the skills and education level they have, and pay a wage that makes the expenses of traveling, childcare, wardrobe, and paying living expenses, worth the while. As we know, even then, they can wait three weeks to a month to start that job and get a pay. I know a young man my son works with who waited a full month after being 'hired' for the job for all the checks to complete and corporate to clear everything to START work and then another three weeks to receive a check. Jobs arent flowers, and more importantly, paychecks certainly arent. One does not just step outside and pick one from a tree and suddenly have the ability to pay bills and give their kids food and shelter. |

Saw this recently, thought it would make for an interesting topic of discussion here: He had a domineering father and learned at an early age that you either dominate and win, or you lose. He became immature and impatient with a short attention span and little attention for details. He freely told lies and came to believe most of them himself. He eventually lived in a fantasy world and lost his grip on reality. In spite of all this he attained success, in large part due to his bravado and showmanship. He even acquired a fabulous retreat in one of the most beautiful locations in the country. Through his oratory capabilities and theatrics he was able to mesmerize his base. He promised to champion the middle class and put the unemployed back to work. Making numerous promises that he had no intention of keeping, he was voted into political power largely by protest votes against established politicians. He became the leader of his country. He abrogated treaties and convinced his people that he was the only one who could lead their country back to its rightful place of glory. After denying he would do so he sent troops into foreign lands. He often didn't take advice from his closest advisers. In fact, although he surrounded himself with high ranking military officers, he seldom took their advice, believing and saying that he was smarter than the generals. He believed that legislators were there only to do his bidding. He took refuge in those few who were still loyal and told him what he wanted to hear. Who am I talking about? Why, Adolph Hitler of course. Who did you think? that's just because you can't get him out of your mind. moe and o, sittin' in a tree k i s s i n g   |

What Tariffs Do And Don't Do
|
|
Tariffs on raw materials, make the cost of the final domestic products produced with them, much higher. If the goal is to help domestic raw materials companies, at the expense of the cost of living of the customer classes, that tariff application can work, providing domestic customers continue to buy the final products, at the now much higher cost to them. What actually happens, is that the raw materials needed, are imported from multiple countries overseas because that's where these raw materials are, not because the raw materials are cheaper. We don't have them in the United States. He was not looking forward to the new tariffs. I think youre quite right about people not really seeing how one thing effects the other. On one hand, yay, theres a group of people who feel saved for the factory reopening. That really does sound great. On the other hand, they dont see the big picture, then the other shoe will drop.  |
