    Looks like Trump forgot to fire this DEI hire.

    Did you even read the article from your own post? He’s an astronaut for the European Space Agency. Trump doesn’t have a single thing to do with this story, so please don’t tarnish an awesome news story my bringing him up.

    Edit: Oh FFS the article mentions him later on too. That’s just thinly-veiled ableism.

      John McFall will fly to the ISS - which is co-administered by the United States - on a SpaceX rocket. If you think Trump or Musk had no say on whether he should be allowed on the mission, you’re deluded.

      Also, it was a joke.

        They literally don’t, not without a few more layers of fascism anyway. That’s not delusional, it’s facts.

          You can’t be this naive…

          Trump and Musk have destroyed an entire state agency and damaged several more despite not having any right to do so, and yet they did so.

          I guarantee you, if Trump said “No amputee onboard my ISS” or Musk said “No amputee onboard my rocket”, no amputee would leave the ground in a New York minute.

            They’ve yet to actually cause any international incidents. The second they actually follow through on any of that rhetoric, I’ll believe you.

              Sadly, I believe you won’t have to wait long to believe me. Vance is working his hillbilly ass off to create a diplomatic incident in Munich as we speak.
