The space station thing is a side quest that has nothing to do with the linked article. I'll happily concede the point, even though it seems pretty questionable to me.
It's still not remotely true that (sigh) "Obummer" was using the law to threaten grants and censor research. Trump did that. Only Trump did that. And that's a whole lot worse than wasted effort on a dumb space station.
I think the dude above was just explaining the Wolf amendment origins, I don't think it was an attempt to shift blame away from Trump for the current policies or both sides it. Just giving more context as to one specific item listed in the original article, and the ridiculous knock on effects it's had.
Which, in itself, is interesting, and is something that I wasn't aware of. Think it's just an innocuous tangent in this case.
Oh we have to worship our ex presidents like kings? It’s possible to criticize both Trump and Obama.
For example my top criticism of Obama is that he killed a 15 year old American child without trial. His press secretary was not only was unapologetic he said “ I would suggest that you should have a far more responsible father if they are truly concerned about the well-being of their children.”
> Oh we have to worship our ex presidents like kings?
No, but we shouldn't excuse wrongdoing by one by reference to something vaguely related by the other. It's fine to criticize both Trump and Obama. It's not fine, as the upthread commenter did and which you are defending, to criticize the Obama administration for actions taken by the Trump administration.
Drone strikes would be my top Obama criticism, followed by not closing Guantanamo, but I can use the man's name without some clever nickname. That's just not worthy of the actual conversation. It a very Trumpian thing to do
Oh I see a unilateral execution program does not warrant a vaguely rude nickname. A bridge too far. Glad you’re concerning yourself with the important issues (while Gitmo remains open and holds people)
