Trump's presidency is costing me decades-long friendships

A friend from way back in my high school days now works in astrophysics and has connections at NASA.

As soon as it became clear that Trump had lied his way into the Whitehouse, I asked her to call down a meteor strike, and she totally didn't do it.

She said that "it's impossible," but clearly she's unwilling to think outside the box.

She's a lifelong progressive, but if she won't bend the laws of time and space, what kind of friend is she, really?


Thanks a lot, Trump.

She could, say, give him a one way trip to the International Space Station. That's well within NASA's capabilities, so she can't use technical infeasibility as an excuse.

That's when the Bible says Nibiru hits.

It's all over after that.

I had heard that SETI was interested in getting their hands on the taped conversations between Pence and Manafort after Mueller was finished with them. I'm beginning to understand why.
