The Democrats are increasingly flailing.

The Russian colluded massively With Democrats.
And between Trump and Obama, who is/was tougher on Russia? Hey, he did want to pass the message on to Vlad that after the election, he’d be “more flexible.”
This idiotic sort of thing is what my current project, to make the international legal environment more friendly to space development and settlement, partially about.
It’s hard. Very hard.
If you don’t read Sarah Hoyt every day, you should.
Jim Treacher has a modest proposal.
On Twitter the other day, I proposed lowering it to minus nine months, to increase the pro-life vote.
We need it more than ever.
Yup. The current situation is approaching exactly what the Founders feared.

Mark Steyn: A total failure of the State.
That assumes, of course, that this wasn’t exactly what the State intended.

Yes, it would appear that “liberals” don’t want to stop school shootings.
It’s an extended straw man.
More from Sara Carter, who has been all over this story from the beginning.
No, literally (I hate that as a title of a space article or op-ed). They’re apparently doing a reboot. I thought the show was stupid as a kid, but as my old roommate Alan Katz (and Glenn Reynolds) noted, the first season, which I missed as a kid, was actually quite dark and interesting, before it devolved into camp with the robot flailing its arms around shouting “Danger, Will Robinson.” It could be interesting. But then, I think between acclaim of The Expanse and everything exciting happening in real spaceflight, it could be new golden age for good space-based hard science fiction, in all venues.
I’m back in Florida, not for fun. Still trying to get another house ready to sell, so we’ll finally be done with real estate in this wretched state. I hope to see the Falcon launch on Sunday, but from afar (I’ll be down in west Palm Beach County). So probably not a lot of blogging for the next week, but I’ll post a couple of things a day, to keep the conversation going. Just to let you know, you know, that I am at least keeping an eye on comments.
And congrats to SpaceX for another successful launch and getting closer on fairing recovery. I’m sure Mr. Steven is disappointed. Though I’ve heard that ships get upset when you anthropomorphize them.
Obama was bad, but yes, these were probably all worse. The best thing about Obama was that he gave (finally) us an election that will allow us to undo a lot of his damage (though he should have lost in 2012). But what the kids’ opinions about good and bad presidents really speaks to is how ignorant of history they are, thanks to government schools and teachers’ unions.
Brian Wang (who I met at Foresight Vision Weekend in December) has a good roundup of the coming revolution in space assembly.
