Wait, is Elon himself heading to the ISS ?

D.D. Harriman was never allowed in space even though he owned all of the
space ships. He had to sneak into Space and the Moon with a couple of
old spacemen and an old junked space ship. “Requiem” by Robert A. Heinlein.

No, just junk journalism, with a clickbait headline.

The plan has been in place, and well known, for months. A SpaceX capsule
is going up to return the Boeing astronauts whose ship was judged too
dangerous to use.

Criminal Trump is just trying to take credit for something he
didn't do.

The SpaceX ship they will return on has been docked to the ISS for
months(?). Elon is not on board. There's a policy to always have a
'lifeboat' ship docked, in case the station needs to be evacuated.

The Boeing astronauts will return after the *next* SpaceX crew
capsule docks.

If it is rejecting it because of the hyphen in "he’s" isn't an ASCII
hyphen, some time ago I found that adjusting Agent to use MIME headers
and "Quoted Printable (MIME)" usenet text fixed the problem.

Actually, the level of typical Trump BS has become much, much higher.

There is no comparison between this and trying to override the
Constitution with an Executive Order.

All those Executive Orders are raising the bar for Trump BS to be
"typical" to really impressive heights.

A rising tide, and least Trump-BS-wise, does indeed lift all boats.

Indeed it was.

I don't /originate/ these headers. I merely reply to the post. Agent
doesn't use the funny apostophes, as those in this paragraph clearly
show.

So, if you want entirely ASCII Subject headers here, you need to talk
to those deviating from your desire.

All I did was find a way to not have to avoid error messages from
Eternal September.

Yesterday, in a Fox News interview, Vice-President J. D. Vance revealed
-
unintentionally - that all this talk about a Russian and Chinese menace
in the
Arctic is just a pretext, and Trump plans to invade and conquer
Greenland in order
to exploit the mineral resources there - resources that Denmark has
forbore to
exploit due to the delicate nature of the ecosystem of Greenland given
its harsh
environment.

So Trump wants to join his buddy Putin by adding the United States of
America to
the ranks of aggressor nations.

Canada has birthright citizenship, and as it's not enshrined in our
Constitution,
I thought it was a reasonable thing to do to remove this backdoor route
to
immigration into Canada. So, while indeed the Constitution can't be
overridden by
an Executive Order, in my view things have now risen to a considerably
higher
level.

Also, while pardoning the January 6 rioters was very bad, and especially
including
those who committed acts of violence against police officers because he
was too
lazy to review the cases individually was bad indeed... going after the
FBI agents
who were doing their jobs in hunting them down is, I think, one of the
most
egregious acts in a Presidency that has been a litany of egregious acts
so far.

It is clear that you feel the Shock.

But do you feel any Awe? I sure don't.

Or has Trump failed once again?

As to the FBI agents, he may be in for a /big/ surprise: government
employees who are acting within the parameters of their duties
/cannot/ be held personally accountable for the actions they take.
Instead, the government is to be held accountable.

And, thanks to the Supreme Court, Biden has the same immunity (for
actions taken while President) as Trump does for acts within the scope
of his duties. Those members of Congress whining about Trump's
"violating the law" need to remember that he is allowed to do exactly
that by the Supreme Court Moscow Mitch and the other Republicans
allowed him to assemble.

Lots of lawsuits coming! This will be a /very/ exciting "Presidency"
-- if that term can be used when the office is held by a 3-year-old
prone to throwing temper tantrums.

It may even feature a war or two!

And a war on immigrants. And not just those in the country illegally.
This has the potential to become a civil war, as it were, between Musk
and some Republicans.

And a War on DEI, which is getting nasty when applied to businesses.
Apparently, Republican concern over matters of conscience is only
aroused when people they agree with are being coerced.

And I'm sure the War on Drugs will resurface at some point. I think we
can forget Federal relaxation on MJ for a while. No matter what the
country thinks.

But I'm thinking here of a /real/ war. It may seem unlikely, but that
is why the future is getting so exciting.

Buckle up! We have a long bumpy ride ahead!

It's not quite that wide ranging
"Presidents have immunity from criminal prosecution as it relates to
core constitutional acts of their office, presumptive immunity for
official acts, but none for unofficial acts, a divided Supreme Court
ruled July 1."

Now exaclty where the limits are legally I'm not really qualified to
say, and exactly where the current Supreme Court would say the limits
are is a different question as well

Nonetheless, some Republicans don't seem to realize that, when they
complain about his firing all of the Inspectors General because he
failed to provide the mandated-by-law prior notice to Congress that
that statement /in itself/ shows that his executive order was an
official act and so he has presumptive immunity for violating the law.
No awareness at all. The reality that Congress is now irrelevant has
not yet settled in. All that is needed is for the Senate and the House
to disagree about when to recess, and Trump can (under the
Constitution) step in and say when ("right now") and for long long
("for all eternity"). And, with Trump people in charge of both, that
is inevitable.

But, yes, the courts are speaking. And Seattle's Judge Coughenor being
particularly unimpressed by the Justice Department's arguments over
birthright citizenship. And verbally vehement about it as well.

Trunp's "buyout" (I'm unclear as to whether this is what he calls it,
or just what others think of it) also appears to be on hold.

There are State-level lawsuits out there as well that should be moving
toward a court date.

The Supremes are going have an interesting season, one of these years.

Well, unless Trump signs an Executive Order dissolving them, of
course.

Buckle up! Rough times ahead!

He is ignorant, stupid and demented. So he will propose that nuclear
devices of the slow kind be placed in the Greenland ice cap, melting
it away within two years. All that nice fresh water can be sent to
California provisional on that state adopting a grovelling subservient
posture to his vision, else it can just run into the sea. That will
clear the ground for mines, air bases, condo towers, casinos and real
