WASHINGTON — The final version of a fiscal year 2016 spending bill will provide NASA with nearly $19.3 billion, funding most agency programs at or above the administration’s original request.

The omnibus spending bill, released by House and Senate appropriators early Dec. 16 after extended negotiations, allocates $19.285 billion to NASA for fiscal year 2016. That total is $756 million above the administration’s requested budget and the total provided the agency in a House spending bill passed in August. It is nearly $1 billion above a Senate bill that appropriators approved in June but was never passed by the full Senate.

China will kill any and everyone necessary to prevent North Korea from going far enough to actually launch anything that will provoke a real and measurable response from the US.





This does not account for Cotton who has said he will not vote for anything but a complete repeal of any and all regulations of the health care industry.

Moving right is why the Democrats have lost over 900 seats in the last 8 years but nope gotta double down on that, we need those Republican moderates! Oh hey you working guy, get the gently caress out of here!

This is partially correct.

Gerrymandering has essentially ensured that white rural areas are the majority of the voting districts.
The democratic party has operated under the assumption that minorities have to vote for them because the Reds hate them. Which no longer works since....
The Democratic party is bought and paid for by the same slime ball lobby groups and corporations that screw anyone not in the upper 5%.

The challenge the Democratic party faces is the same challenge the Republicans face with the Tea Party/libertarian movement. Progressives are now becoming a zero exception/negotiation group, moderates are being shamed into either joining or leaving, and the leadership still thinks everything is fine despite the house burning down around them.

Well, that's one thing I have to give the Republicans, they consistently throw more money at NASA than Democratic administrations.

“I don’t think there’s anything new here in his behavior,’’ said Mr. O’Brien, now the executive editor of Bloomberg View. “He's been doing this kind of thing for the last 45 years.’’

“He’s deeply, deeply insecure about how he’s perceived in the world, about whether or not he’s competent and deserves what he’s gotten,” he added. “There’s an unquenchable thirst for validation and love. That’s why he can never stay quiet, even when it would be wise strategically or emotionally to hold back.”
