But it's hard to be certain.
It is only with great reluctance that I'm even linking to this. I had started to do this earlier today, but I had backed out. Since Popehat was getting into this, I figured I might as well give it a go as well.

For all of the money we are spending, NASA should NOT be talking about going to the Moon - We did that 50 years ago. They should be focused on the much bigger things we are doing, including Mars (of which the Moon is a part), Defense and Science!

People, stop making fun of the President of the United States over minor verbal infelicities. Clearly he meant that the Moon is part of Mars for purposes of Space Force jurisdiction. They're both Omega Quadrant.

There has been a lot of speculation today about my relationship status and I would just like to clear things up. I am with the Earth and have been for quite sometime and we are very happy together.

He can start making sense, or he can (better yet) shut the fuck up.

(3,433 posts)I give a pass to his supporters in 2016 believing that some/many were just misguided and duped but anyone that votes for him next year will get no support our defense from me. Voting for Trump is a vote for incompetence and idiocy.. not to mention racism, homophobia, misogyny and general bigotry.

He just wasn't typing a coherent thought.
