Re: Here have a can of worms...

Except that the 9th isn't the most overturned court, that would be the 6th. Of course since the 9th is the largest, it would have a large amount of decisions regardless.

But it isn't the most overturned, nor has it ever been.

Hubble 'scope camera breaks down amid US govt shutdown, forcing boffins to fix it for free

Re: Whiskey-Tango-Foxtrot

And during the last major election, the people who said we aren't building a monument to the Maginot Line got the most votes and said no wall. It is the will of the people who voted their representatives into office.

As far as this being Trump's shutdown, he went on national TV and made it a point to say he would be proud to wear the mantle and claim it as his. Are you trying to take away one of his few accomplishments?

Re: Optional reasoning

The space race in the 60's was a case of the project management triangle being skewed towards we will get to the moon first, damn the costs.

If you really think that NASA is being mismanaged, how much do you think it would have cost the US to have Haliburton or Boeing to put the rovers on Mars or send pictures back from the Kuiper Belt?

NASA's FY 2017 budget of $19.5 billion (in nominal dollars) represented 0.47% of the $3.98 trillion United States federal budget during that year.[2]

NASA was allocated $601.31 billion (in nominal dollars) overall from 1958 to 2018.

Re: Neutrality

Donald Trump is on record, due to the fact he said it on national TV before it happened, claiming that this is his shutdown.

Calling it that is not being biased.

As part of the system of checks and balances, one of the houses of a co equal branch of the government (in this case the one that controls the purse) is now controlled by people who said they were not willing to build a wall. So it should not be built, on the premise that the majority of people have spoken and said no.

US Declaration of Independence labeled hate speech by Facebook bots

That's ok, last year when the Declaration of Independence was read on public radio ( something they have done for almost 20 year) the trump voters swore up and down that it was a plot to overthrow trump.

Guess that goes to show the intelligence of the type of person who voted for him.

Trump’s new ZTE tweet trumps old ZTE tweets that trumped his first ZTE tweet

Actually the big problem with ZTE was them breaking laws dealing with sanctions on NK and Iran. Trump just gave them a pass, or took some chinese bribes and let them go on their business... depending on how you look at it.

Google Pixel 2 XL: Like paying Apple-tier prices then saying, hey, please help yourself to my data

Re: ZTE and Huawei - the tip of an iceberg?

While it might take time and money to spin up new or find replacement facilities China is just as much at the mercy of their biggest consumer if they wish to keep their growing middle class happy. As far as closing any of the Foxconn facilities, they make stuff for all the major IT companies so that is a no go also.

This saber rattling between the two is amusing to watch if it wasn't so dangerous to the worlds stability.

Huawei CEO sings 'Bye, bye, mister American Pai', trims US C-suite

Re: "you chose to enter against German........"

Don't mind him, he's just another trump follower who thinks muh american exceptionalism is really a thing.

But he should be reminded the last time someone ran around yelling America First it was a bunch sympathizers to a certain austrian guy who thought he too was exceptional. To be fair though, according to trump there are many fine people in that group as well.

From the Dept of the Bleedin' Obvious... yes, drones hurt when they hit you in the head

Re: Ban them!

Actually, I for one am all for dropping politicians from 5.5 meters but I also think we should try dropping them from increasing heights until we find out what height starts knocking some sense into them.

That way, anyone who files to run for office can immediately be taken outside and dropped from that height before their campaign starts.

You are assuming that lawmakers will take the time to actually read or have staff read these reports instead of taking what the lobbyist says as gospel.

Drive-thru drive-by at McDs after ice cream no-show, say cops

US Secretary of State: I will work with Russia on cyber security issues

Re: Enough.

He is doing his job, like many on the trump team he has been taking Russian money for years.

His job is to make life easier for trumps benefactors from the late 90s onward when all the western banks wouldn't loan trump money because he was such a credit risk.

And Clinton is not in office, you trumpers have to find someone else to blame, your guy is in charge.
