I think this is one reason why Artemis 2 was so much fun.
Watching the four astronauts flying around the moon and all the scientists and engineers on the ground not afraid to show genuine excitement felt liberating.
This is why GenZ needs to be ironic about everything. Showing true passion is scary because it'll immediately be mocked. The Internet made sincerity terrifying for a whole generation.
Now picture that with Chief Justice Roberts acquitting Pence after presiding over his treason trial while Trump pursues a Captain Queeg-like vendetta against his former VP, and you have America, 1806. https://t.co/JccFsqlIv9
From the NY Times article on Graham Platner:
"regularly grabbed her by the shoulders — sometimes hard enough to leave marks"
"yanked her out of a cab by her wrist after an argument when she wanted to stay in the car"
"he twisted her arm behind her back, shoved her into a bedroom and held the door closed from the other side so she couldn’t get out"
How would you describe a man who did that?
@agraybee That would hold water if he got it covered upon finding out what it really stood for
Instead of proudly telling everyone who would listen what it was
my earnest question to the folks claiming this is a cynical, politically-motivated smear is… why isn’t the “lie” more damning? the abuse described by the GOP operative is awful, but i think Platner could recover from this. if she was lying… why not lie better? so to speak
Remember when those guys thought it would be a good idea to comment pie flavours on women’s tweets? Did they stop because they realised it looked weird to demand another man’s wife bake them a pie? Also the umbrella metaphor still makes no sense.
Something about pulling a gun out on a black guy but he apparently turned out to be a violent felon
And he does run his mouth too much and appears to be a hothead while annoying his own party, But John McCain was that, too! Not exactly unprecedented in the Senate
@nobodyknows2322 Trauma can do horrible things to memory. It’s detailed in the memoir Picking Cotton, written by a woman who was raped when her house was broken into, then accused the wrong man who spent 12 years in prison before he was exonerated, and how he forgave her. They became friends.
Wait so while the US starts teaching about the horrific things our government ha fine in elementary school, Spain is inventing conspiracies that all the bad shit they did is just anti Catholic boas by historians
