The media and government stupidity and hype and mob mentality are reaching epic proportions.

And just like every other instance, the lies will come pouring out when the mob disperses and cooler heads prevail

“pRiVate organizatioN!!”, so it’s not erasing history or enforcing thoughtcrime laws.

This is craziness.

The man hailed something great in getting to space. He was a Russian.

Get over it.

Yet another meaningless, mindless, stupid virtue signaling act.

I think this is stupid but I do think the Ruskies on the space station should be evicted.

This is getting ridiculous. Are we going to rub out his photo and just show an empty capsule orbiting space? That’ll show them!

“the Ruskies on the space station should be evicted.”

I hope that was a joke.

Perhaps you should be evicted from your property because the third cousin of your great grandfather was Russian.

Yuri Gagarin, the first person in space ... as long as you don’t count Sukolov’s son and his failed attempt and crash in China.

More childish idiocy from the cancel culture clowns. Gargarin still went into space first and the idiots can’t change that with their childish ‘Headstart’ style antics. They need to stick to fingerpainting.

Do you think they’ll get around to cancelling Ayn Rand, and Alexander Solzhenitsyn?
