Rep. Andrew Clyde, R-Ga., Let's make sure the racist gets full credit for being racist.

Also if you live in DC its your civic duty to repaint the mural every night after they finish working.

This guy wants a thank you for what now? Did he launch a rocket? Manage a network?

Let's ignore the fact that a private company who has countries begging them for their service is fucked up.

The obsession that some people have that they are a part of the football team they like is nuts. Rubio asking for thanks for something starlink did is like me asking for thanks for Taylor Swifts latest hit.

I'm no federal judge, but I don't need to hear any arguments. Keep ICE out of schools.

You want to terrorize kids you can do it some other time, not while they're learning.

What services does it connect to?

Edit: after I posted I saw in the summary that you're not sure whatserviceds it uses either. I wonder if there is a way to get the specifics from f-droid.

You might check out ironfox to see if it also has the same issues.

Its more than just foreign relations.

The reason for continuous military, space, energy and other development isn't just to push the state of the art, and its not just a jobs program. If you stop building things you forget how. You can still build something but it won't be nearly as good because the people who learned the mistakes the first time around have all retired. Or in this case fired.

We will have at least a 4 year gap when this is over.

Switching gears, do you think infrastructure will be funded? Falling 4 more years behind in maintenance isn't going to do any favors. This includes federally maintained dams and bridges, but also levees for storm protection near the coasts. Trump will throw you some paper towels after the next hurricane, then withdraw funding for FEMA.

How about the EPA? Are they going to continue to handle superfund sites? No? Well you can expect some real problems from this to bear fruit in a couple of years. Lawsuits against manufacturers doesn't bring your home value back, or stop the cancers.

I'm mentioning these things because while people are seeing the damage done by alienating allies, and that is concerning to some, this doesn't matter to trumps base, who have a particularly America centric viewpoint.

People need to be aware that the problems he brings aren't just foreign and that if something doesn't change soon there will be nothing left of the America they knew.

Be careful hosing it down or scrubbing it. Those radiator fins are delicate and shouldn't be bent or broken.

I won't say don't do it because I dunno, its probably fine. But watch a how to video or read up on it first. Just don't put a firehose on it.

With Trump as president, I imagine any second now they'll be approved. Probably after they appoint the Boeing CEO as head of the FAA.

I will take away your healthcare.

I will take away your job.

I will take away your children.

I'll take away your children's protection from preventable diseases.

I'll ruin your children's education by firing most of the oversight and hiring an unqualified person to run the department of education.

I'll cause the things you need to buy to widely fluctuate in price due to tarrifs or the threat of tarrifs.

I'll undermine the government so much they can't get rid of me or my cohorts.

And also I'll boil your teeth. That was a fun one too.

It used to be fully funded with the money paid into it. Your current contributions are supposed to be paying for your future security.

Just use something else on mobile. I use mull (until it becomes insecure because I think they stopped working on it) and fennec.

Fennec supports extensions and syncing so it should be okay for most use cases.

If its all normal shit that is totally needed to operate then why didn't they need an agreement before now?

America does have this actually. I think at one point in about 10 years ago it was like $500k. I believe they raised it to something higher but it was less than $5m though.

Trump probably either didn't know because the law doesn't apply to him, or this is just a fee increase disguised as a new program his sycophants will applaud.
