And on her official House.gov site she called for Trump to be censured: https://gabbard.house.gov/news/press-releases/rep-tulsi-gabbard-calls-house-censure-president-putting-personal-political-gain

She's basically saying "He obviously abused his power as president to gain an advantage in upcoming election, but it 'breaks her heart we are so divided' so lets just censure him instead".   <==that's me paraphrasing.  

Her arguments just don't make sense to me though.  ...

They make perfect sense to me. The House voting to censure would be a completed action with some political impact. (Based on lies by lying liars but that's beside the point.)

The House as-is voting to impeach makes them look totally like fools plus incompetent.

My honest opinion on this would probably be NO. If humans had landed long back with those technologies then we would have a colony by now on Moon. World wanted to see who won the space race and US grabbed that opportunity by creating this.
If Columbus had gone to the West Indies and found nothing but a vacuum and barren rocks and craters, exploration would certainly have stopped.

We didn't find gold, women, and rum on our Moon...

If this is true, it is too bad. All the more reason for us to make a law that all adults have to wear at least a .38 pistol when in public....

I can hit targets easily with a 22LR that a 38 would be 1% on a lucky day.

Personally, I think being 'an impeachment happy country' is better than not.  Adding "I agree to be transparent, reasonable and not bitch and moan when I am inevitably investigated" to the Presidential Oath wouldn't be a bad idea imo.

It sucks how divided and pissed everyone is, but the less we investigate and scrutinize every decision the President makes, especially when it comes to anything involving elections, the bigger the risk of becoming a ' Wink democracy Wink'.

Hell of an attitude, coming from an obivious Obamanoid and sole loser of 2016.

Don't you really mean "investigate the enemy" and "Never investigate our own tribe"?

If not, do you recognize that "Never investigate our own tribe" is one of the primary features of your tribe?

High crime and misdemeanors is the text that's used in the constitution but that doesn't necessarily exclude impeachment for something that isn't a crime. ...

I kind of think that "High crimes" referred to crimes, don't you?

I mean while I'm a fan of Trump, I'm not someone who's going to close my eyes and put my fingers in my ears and say LALALALALALALLALALALALALAL. That's just not fair in the least. Trump lies, and so does the Media. But Trump isn't this Saint who is always truthful and nor is the media.

It's not fair to anyone, and yourself to try to beleive that the Conservative echo chamber (of the liberal echo chamber) is always right without fault.

Both sides are right are certain points, and we have to come to accept that.


Last statistic I bothered reading, media was negative on Trump 93% of the time.

No need to say much further!

Squatz1 is a big fan of false equivalence.

It's worth noting that Trump is not any kind of traditional conservative politician. Look at the number of Repubs who were opposed to him (some of them still are).

He is something quite different, and for many people, hard to comprehend.

It would seem that much more difficult then, to apply a moral equivalence argument.

It's really quite strange.

The other thing, weight is a major issue why were no wheels with spokes used? ....
All I can guess at on that would be to absolutely minimize pounds per square inch loading where the tire meets the dirt. That would be contrary to power efficiency. Yes it would seem to be like driving with half flat tires.

They were paranoid about some places having soft fluffy dust that could bury people and machines. By Apollo 15 they had a lot of knowledge about the surface, but remember, each LEM touched down in a geologically different area. Although the surface dust turned out pretty much the same in hindsight.

There may have been other reasons.
2069  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Trump doesn't care about the deficit, no one does. on: December 31, 2019, 02:23:40 AM
I think that the only realistic end result is the collapse of the dollar through hyperinflation.
That was always a wonder to me. How is it possible that printing money will kill us but fractional reserving them out of thin air will not?
There is basically billions of digital dollars created out of debt everyday, what difference does it make to print some real cash instead?
All the mints in the world contracted to print dollars, would not match the rate that privatised banking makes digital bucks.
I think it's an exaggeration with this hyperinflation scenario, mostly because it already have happened, dollar lost tremendous amount of purchasing power in the last century, I think it can't do any worse. That's why they are printing, when all tenders are sharing the fate of Zimbabwean dollar, non of them do.

Hyperinflation is not a numerical phenomena, where it kicks in when some excess number of dollars have been printed. It is a psychological phenomena, where people on the street do not want the currency, but want hard goods instead. This increases the turnover of money by orders of magnitude. The US is not going to such a place.

We may be in for a moderate inflation, though. Such a thing can be tracked and is to a degree predictable.

Does anyone know what the urge was to pick up a rock 5 miles form base instead of just bend down and pick one up?...

Geology. Some very important rocks were literally picked up from the surface. All rocks are not the same.

In many ways, the Moon has not changed in billions of years. Sure, there's a couple of meters of dust on the top layer. But can we find some of the original rocks? What were they like? Eg the genesis rock.

Many of the rocks are breccia, sort of everything-compressed-and-fused together.

What would it mean to find little beads of orange glass?

How thick is the crust of the moon? Is there a molten core?  What causes the localized magnetic fields? Is there water? Was there water in the past?

Ok, don't throw me into the same basket for the believers of conspiracy theories.

I believe Earth is NOT flat. I don't believe there are aliens in Area 51.

But this question is factually not very convincing and it is, did we actually land on moon in 1969.

There are many compelling evidences, facts etc that proves that indeed we landed on moon.

But even in 21st century where there an accident with Kalpana Chawla who merely went to space and came back, it sounds too good to be true that in 1969, we landed on the moon which is around 300000 kms or 186000 miles from the Earth with those time of technologies and successfully came back. Remember, the first apple computer was launched in 1976.

I'm not saying we didn't, I'm just saying that it's not really a question that can be debunked like other theories which says Earth is flat.

we did land on moon, but if we really talk about the first landing by apollo 11 I have my own doubts. there are videos and documentaries which try to prove the landing wrong and consider them as hoax. it was in time when USSR and USA were going through a cold war which was basically fought at technological front and USA was desperate to go an extra mile after USSR's successful launch of Sputnik. For more, watch such videos on youtube and you would kind of believe it as hoax too.

Well, if we didn't go to the moon, what did we do with those big fucking rockets?

I think Americans are lucky, so much of their social media is consumed by the clown show between Trump and Pelosi, for years now. I think it is wonderful that a country is so well off that it can afford to focus so much time on fluffy reality show. While circus goes on, everyone still lives their lives because circus does not really effect them. In Philippines we have our own small circus but we are more focused on every day survival.

Good Luck and God Bless,

We may be lucky but everyone here is really, really sick of this particular bit of luck.

Apparently Mars has been battered by 635,000 meteors.
I'm not disputing that Mars is battered, but I don't understand how a meteor can do it, because a meteor has no opposable thumbs and so can't operate the deep fryer. Astronomy is perplexing.



I'm surprised at the low number (635,000). There are billions of craters > 7-10 meters in diameter on the Moon. Guess the presence of a slight atmosphere makes a big difference.

...Not only Musk, but visioneries like Jeff Bezos and Brandson of Virgin group belive in same vision of colonization. There are startups in place at ideation phase who are getting into space exploration.
Maybe. But building rockets that will take people and things off Earth to low earth orbit is not "space exploration."

Columbus was a explorer, not a ship builder.

.... claims based on the Copernican model or heliocentrism is straight up fraud. No man has, can or will land a foot on any light in the sky.

I have not seen any claims anywhere based on the Copernican models or heliocentrism. Those are completely outdated concepts. Certainly none from NASA.



"...Would a medal engineering company not be a better choice to provide steel mesh tires as Goodyear, a Rubber Company?..."
IIRC tires have steel belts.
...

Steel belted radials were just coming to reality in the years of the various Apollo missions.


No, the 1970 model Lincoln Continental Mark III was the first American-made vehicle with radial tires as standard equipment.
The Citroën 2CV came from factory with radial tires fitted in 1948 as standard.....
...
These statements are pretty consistent, moon landing in 1969, first American car with steel belted radials in 1970.

Although the Citroen in 1948, that's quite interesting.
