Everyone. That's why you should put it on the moon.

Nope we've already sent our citizens to the moon. Maybe you could see if China will let you tag along.

He was Obama, that was what was bad about that, and just about everything else he ever said or did.

Maybe you should put more of your citizens on the moon. A lot more.

Yeah but it probably wouldn't be the ones you wanted to go and then where would you be?

Good old whataboutism.

PS. Do you have a source for those "several hundred" defectors being turned over to the Soviet Union by UKK?

Same place I was before but at least we'll have a moon base, or something off this planet for when it all goes tits up.

I've always thought the moon would be a perfect place for the Palestinians. They could get along with everyone existing there.

Somehow I doubt that.

MSM finally picking up on Hillary Clinton's dirty dealings

The Clinton camp and DNC funded what became the Trump-Russia dossier

Quote:

The firm that the Clinton camp and the DNC paid also has alleged ties to the Kremlin. In Senate testimony in July, Hermitage Capital Management chief executive William Browder accused Fusion GPS and its head, Glenn Simpson, of running a smear campaign against Sergei Magnitsky, a Russian whistleblower who in 2009 was tortured and killed in a Russian prison after uncovering a $230 million tax theft. Magnitsky worked for Browder, and he is the namesake of a law containing sanctions that was passed by Congress and is a sore spot between the U.S. government and Russian President Vladimir Putin.

Washington (CNN)House Republicans announced a probe into the circumstances surrounding the sale of a uranium mining company to Russia's Atomic Energy Agency, Rosatom, that was approved by the Obama administration in 2010.

The deal had to be approved by the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States, a committee that is composed of representatives from several US government agencies, including the State Department, which at the time was led by Secretary Hillary Clinton.

First charges filed in Mueller investigation

Quote:

A federal grand jury in Washington on Friday approved the first charges in the investigation led by special counsel Robert Mueller, according to sources briefed on the matter.

Lordy.

What is this? Previews of coming attractions?

Are we truly at the point when we need trailers for legal action?

Why make the announcement on a Friday for action to take place on a Monday? Ratings?

Why make this announcement in the first place? Just do your job quietly and efficiently.

Make the announcement on Monday after the action is taken

I swear, our government is turning into a reality show.
