I think it should be changed to a Nazi boot, with the meaning being "commies: if you don't respect the American flag you're in for a whole lot worse!"

Whatever the president is against, we are against. Whatever he is for, we are for. Unless the president is black or a democrat, in which case it is your patriotic duty to oppose him. Disagreeing with this very intelligent and consistent opinion makes you a cuck.

Do you even have a clue. Trump's dad is German. Trump because of his very low IQ said his dad was born in Germany lol. Trump's grandad was born in Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany.
For Trump's 2nd term, practice your Sieg Heils.

What would be helpful I think is breaking the term down into different types of free speech. Say like "Voltaire Freedom of Speech" (supports freedom of speech as an ideal, even if not legally required) vs. "1A Freedom of Speech" (supports freedom of speech to the extent legally required by the first amendment).
So, like, when people were raising freedom of speech objections to Alex Jones getting banned vs the "nuh-uh, Youtube is a private company the 1st amendment doesn't apply!" people, that was a conflict between Voltaire vs. 1A freedom of speech.
But what if the situation was flipped. Say AOC got banned from Infowars for advocating socialism and gun control. Then the sides flip of course. I am 100% confident that if the big web companies were managed by right wingers and leftists were getting banned from Youtube and Facebook, the sides on this would be flipped.
I guess it's a bit like free software. You have a small minority of Stallman types who are really into free and open source software based on principle, but you have the other 99% who download LibreOffice because they don't want to pay $150 or $9.99 a month for MS Office and don't care one way or the other about open source as long as they can open and save .docx for $0. I remember for a while there was a thing where they tried to emphasize "free as in speech" vs. "free as in beer" because people would get confused and think Acrobat Reader is "free software" because anyone can go to Adobe.com and download it free of charge.

I think there has been a real blurring of lines between what you are free to express and other people's obligation to give you a megaphone for that. It's a little maddening that people don't tease that apart more often.
> Say AOC got banned from Infowars for advocating socialism and gun control.
It's not like Alex Jones was giving equal time to AOC's views to begin with. He pretty much does whatever the fuck he wants with his own show.

I just realized... Bert and Trump have something in common. Trump pussied out of a war with Iran, and Bert pussied out of the war with Desert Storm.
Two of America's biggest pussies.

@1,009,335 (A)If you had it your way the flag on the moon should be the confederate flag. People who live in confederate states should have been rounded up and put in prisons as traitors.

LOL President Johnson's Space center in Hostage Tx.
Being fair Alabama's Redstone Arsenal now renamed is one hell of an operation. Of course one must credit German Wernher von Braun or otherwise NO GO -
I truly miss my trips to Redstone. Mostly because at some point I got smart and stayed in New Orleans for the weekend prior.
Anyway my point is that the South were traitors to US Constitution - Turn coats - And as a result more people died in that war than in WW1 WW11 Korea and Vietnam and Iraq put together - Much as a result of Berts ancestors and others like them.

@previous (Meta !Sober//iZs)Damn I just had to review exactly where/when/who/how/states/companies/ were involved and in what with Apollo and of course my State a Liberal state of course sure was key. Alas without Nazi needs for sure Moon wood happen one day just NOT when Kennedy wanted it to happen.
I had zero involvement with Apollo in any way shape or form. I did work on the mission that proceeded Apollo, the Surveyor spacecraft. Thought that wood be my mission in life design wise - At that time I said to self hell NO - You got one small detail to work on and become expert in and that was that - Wayyyyy to limiting at that time - Took me years to get over the downsides of that work and find a way to get back to space and get in on the Big Picture. Also no big money when working on some detail when the Big Picture pays BIG $$$
Oh the missions main purpose was to test for amount of dust on surface - Like was it so soft and thick that any Spacecraft wood sink. Did have other missions like midcourse corrections. My area of expertise at time was Radar so that was my part of the pie.

Launch sites nearer the equator were on purpose, to take advantage of the faster linear speed of rotation.

True but it gets more complicated depending on what you launch as well as factors like Security - For Spy and quality communication Satellites launched from USA, launching into retrograde or polar orbits, Vandenberg is more suitable.
And security wise when you launch from the Cape it's in seconds over international waters with NO land based US controlled secure land stations. Over Vandenberg you have the USA proper to do command and control of system.
