Shameless Jackass Lee, a true representative of those that voted for her.

NASA and those that support NASA have done some truly amazing things that foster innovation and a better life for us all. She Jack has done none of that.

Leave it to fucking morons to turn a thread about our amazing scientific progress in space into a thread about our generational failings down here.

"fail" attracts the morons like flies to bullshit.
