your usual drunken word vomit
@cliff-mashburn saidYeah it's amazing what a Democrat President at the head of the US government can do when taxes on the wealthy are high.
USA did it first in 1969.
Plus they sent men there, not robots.
Reagan and the neocons ended that.
@athousandyoung saidJust to learn ya something, young goat... 🙂 the SCSC, do you recall?? (Super Collider Super Conductor)
Yeah it's amazing what a Democrat President at the head of the US government can do when taxes on the wealthy are high.

The SSC started as just an idea among scientists in the 1970s to improve the study of particle physics. By 1983, the U.S. Department of Energy recommended building the project and assigned a design group to draw up plans. In 1987, President Ronald Reagan approved the 54-mile super collider that would have been three times larger than the largest collider in existence today.
That's right. the European collider is 17 miles. Effective, but much smaller than the SCSC.
Now, Reagan was president from 1981-1989. Do you know what shut down the project...?
Bill Clinton was elected president and first served in 1993, bringing in a democrat house and senate.
Their first act was to shut down the SCSC, despite this project being 6 years old with
$2 billion sunk into it already, and, it would cost $1 billion to shut it down.
That really sucked. Thanks for nothing, democrats

@earl-of-trumps saidAmazing how Reagan managed to afford the SCSC, Star Wars, a 600 ship Navy while also cutting tax revenue to the bone.

He and his intellectual heirs are why we're in so much debt.

@athousandyoung saidyes. debt bad. and reagan did start the ball rolling. but that is moving the goal post, good buddy

@earl-of-trumps saidThe goal post was landing a drone on the moon. Then somebody brought up the 1969 Space Race and now you started talking about the SCSC. I'm not the one who started moving the goal posts.

@athousandyoung saidyou started discussing how repubs don't like science and the dems do. I just had to intercede! 🙂

@earl-of-trumps saidThe vote to shut the project down was about as bipartisan as it could be:

"A total of 166 Democrats, 115 Republicans and one independent voted to stop work on the collider, while 98 Democrats and 61 Republicans voted for the project."
https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1993-10-20-mn-47771-story.html
That's about 63% of Democrats voting to kill it and over 65% of Republicans doing the same.
So your usual partisan take is as usual BS.
EDIT: HMM, looks like the LA Times screwed up; there were 176 Republicans in the House but there weren't 264 Democrats like their vote count says - there were actually only 258. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/103rd_United_States_Congress
EDIT2: "The extraordinary 282-143 vote almost certainly means that the Texas collider project is dead." from the LA Times article.
This is the roll call: https://clerk.house.gov/evs/1993/roll511.xml
Dems: 166 For, 85 Against
GOP: 115 For, 58 Against
So both were a little over 66% in favor of killing the project.

@AverageJoe1
No but he did yank babies from the arms of moms and put 5000 of them in cages and 8 of them died. He has blood on his hands from that and thousands more from his incompetence 'handling' the covid epidemic, like shine a bright light up your butt, cures covid, or ingest bleach, bleach kills covid in MINUTES.
But of course you overlook ALL of his evil ways and just pile up BS allegations against Biden.

@averagejoe1 saidErr congrats but I don’t think the Brits were trying to go to the moon, as for the rest I wouldn’t have a clue.
And the Aussies and NZ.. Shav is the one who touts his 4-week vacations. If all of them dutch-shoe wearing foul mouths do that, no wonder they never do anything worth putting in the news. I defy one of you to find a main news story on Nlands or Romania. (main)

@zahlanzi saidZahlanzi doesn't know that we just landed a space craft on the moon. Maybe the papers over there didn't want to draw attention to it. You know, a country that can do that. My point exactly.
i don't know what the fuk the issue is you again started rambling without linking anything.

Funny how you can land a craft on the moon, but can't house or educate your own bloody masses.

@shavixmir saidMasses are what we are fighting against so that we can run our country. My maid's son sits next to a mexican in class who cannot speak english. We are fighting his mass, Shav,if you get my drift. We have lost our freedom, Shav,.. can you start a thread on americans losing their freedom, and maybe throw in that countries like Netherlands are learning from our experiences, and tightening up their borders.........at our expense?

P.s that’s not a maid joe it’s a mental health professional and her son still lives in Mexico
