So now the moon, and probably the universe is meant for male, white nationalist Christians exclusively! What are they going to do, plant a cross on the moon? (They’re probably disappointed it won’t burn there!)  
Damn, I hate Trump, his MAGA supporters, white nationalists and their ilk!  
Everything they touch turns to shit!

I don’t expect Artemis 3 to go forward at all as long as Trump and Musk are running the show, anyway.

I’m wondering if the “report claiming that King Charles III would make an offer” is referring to something I saw posted on Facebook, which shows King Charles III “revoking America’s independence” in light of our demonstrating our inability to properly govern ourselves by electing Trump. (unfortunately I can’t figure out any way to copy it here). I had seen a similar meme years ago with Queen Elizabeth II

I wouldn’t be a bit surprised if Trump or someone at Fox news would think it was serious.

I’m not exactly a student of US history, but I fear Prince Charles "revoking America’s independence” may not be an idea that would go very far. You guys had some disagreements on that topic the first time it came up.

I kind of chuckle whenever I see the word “shock” used to describe people’s reaction to this administration’s bullshit.

Anger, outrage, disgust, alarm, sure. But shock? Is anybody actually _shocked_ by anything this ass-clown is doing?

My guess is that it was Charles making Droll satire of Trumps comment about making Canada a 51st state but it went over Trump’s head with a great wooshing sound. .

This sounds kinda like the descriptions of the original Sumerian beer I’ve read about.

They drank it through a straw because that helped to strain out the solids in it.

Certainly not when they realize it is named after a female.

They might rename it Zeus, an egomaniacal male rapist is much more to their taste. Somebody they can admire and identify with.

Perhaps we could convince them it’s named after Artemis Gordon from The Wild Wild West. Trump can talk about how he’s one of America’s greatest heroes and he’s looking forward to meeting him at Mar-A-Lago.
