One of the NASA astronauts trapped on the International Space Station said he believes Elon Musk’s claim that the Biden administration rejected the SpaceX CEO’s offer to help bring the team home.

“I can only say that Mr. Musk, what he says, is absolutely factual … I believe him,” he said.

Musk, who donated $288 million to Donald Trump’s presidential campaign, told Fox News’ Sean Hannity that working with him to bring the astronauts back would have made Trump “look good” and that Biden “didn’t want the publicity” so close to the presidential election.

Biden did a lot of things purely out of spite for Republicans and conservatives. That general attitude was put on display very plainly at Trump’s address. Dems are a bunch of mentally damaged, adolescent-minded, disgruntled deviants who simply cannot act like adults.

That it's "OK" to be batshit crazy, because it's all Trump's fault anyway? Does anyone know what this old cane-shaking fool was frothing at the mouth about?

Doesn't matter, it was the same old made-up crap they always regurgitate. Russia, Russia, Russia or something else we've all heard before.

As if Biden actually had control of any action emanating from the White mouse.

“The caning of Charles Sumner, or the Brooks–Sumner Affair, occurred on May 22, 1856, in the United States Senate chamber, when Representative Preston Brooks, a pro-slavery Democrat from South Carolina, used a walking cane to attack Senator Charles Sumner, an abolitionist Republican from Massachusetts. The attack was in retaliation for an invective-laden speech given by Sumner two days earlier in which he fiercely criticized slaveholders, including pro-slavery South Carolina Senator Andrew Butler, a relative of Brooks. The beating nearly killed Sumner and contributed significantly to the country’s polarization over the issue of slavery. It has been considered symbolic of the “breakdown of reasoned discourse”[1] and willingness to resort to violence that eventually led to the Civil War.

Contributed to the war in a few years as much as Anything

Brooks was a bit of a cripple from the Mex war

Hence the cane

I can only imagine the howling

Brooks died shortly after sounds like throat infection

Summer recovered eventually to be an ardent yankee
