      SpaceX Dragon launch in February

      To clarify, the Dragon is scheduled to return in February. The Dragon launched back in September, and is currently docked to the ISS.

        Classic Trump. It’s actually something Democrats could learn from as far as communications go.

          Really? The left could learn some “communication skills” from the right — taking credit for things they didn’t do is not one.

            If they took credit for the shit they did do, they wouldn’t leave themselves open to Republicans doing it.

              So your solution is to somehow communicate facts to a cult who doublethink’s their way through everything based on team sports, is enveloped by a right wing propaganda machine facilitated by big tech and MSM billionaires, and otherwise chooses to inject disinformation directly into their brainstem?

              Bold move cotton. Stupid, and useless… But certainly bold.
