40 years later and we’re back to Ronnie’s Star Wars all over again.

Update: $25B to design the system??? No AI?

    The Soviet Union collapsed in good part because it bankrupted itself trying to catch up with the Star Wars program, which was not even real.

      And here we’re just trying to catch up to that 0% billionaire tax rate.

    Does the plan involve every American billionaire being paid to provide everyone with a golden shower

      Yes, but you’ll have to pay for the shower. Otherwise it’s too much like getting something for free and that’s commie bullshit.

      I had to scroll shockingly far through these comments to find a sex joke.

      Is a “golden dome” not what happens when you try to suck off someone who gives zero shits about you before he pisses in your mouth? Because that’s exactly what it sounds like

      Just 175B into a selected few pockets.

      Oh. It’ll work. Tax payers dollars will flow into the pockets of Trump’s billionaires. That’s the only goal here. It worked last time for the wall too. The intended mission was totally accomplished

      It has every chance of working exactly the way the wall did since of course all it’s just a money grift.

      Why do you say that? It’s a metal that can be hammered extremely thinly, gold leaf etc.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to “Mom! He’s bugging me!” and “I’m not touching you!” Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That’s all the rules!
