Is there any truth to Biden's camp declining Musk's offer to send help to bring them home?

I am pretty sure it was reported that SpaceX asked for more time before launching and Biden said sure.

Pretty much nothing they say is true, so it's a good bet that this isn't true either.

NASA said that they approached SpaceX to contract them for the retrieval, and SpaceX hemmed and hawed and said they need more time. Musk obviously wanted to wait to maximize the political angle.

Quote:
In a post on the social media platform X, SpaceX CEO Elon Musk claimed Tuesday that the Biden Administration left two astronauts “stranded” and said President Donald Trump has asked SpaceX to step in to rescue them.

But NASA already put such a plan in place months ago when it asked SpaceX to return astronauts Suni Williams and Butch Wilmore from the International Space Station as part of its Crew-9 mission. A delay in that plan was then announced in December because mission teams said they needed more time to prepare a new SpaceX vehicle.

The astronaut for some reason believes that Biden denied Musk.

https://nypost.com/2025/03/05/us-new...utely-factual/

Quote:
Although Wilmore said he trusts Musk, he added that he and Williams knew nothing about the behind-closed-doors discussion regarding their rescue.

“We have no information on that, though, whatsoever. What was offered, what was not offered, who it was offered to, how that process went. That’s information that we simply don’t have,” he said.

Canada ranks 4th in the world for overall quality of life. Why the **** would we trade that for a country spiraling under the regime of a felon who worships dictators and doesn’t care about anything but himself.

Good (non conclusive) article on if Trump is compromised by the Russians. Well, ok he's definitely an asset, this debates the level of it.

Natalia said later: “Trump melted at once. He is an emotional person, somewhat impulsive. He needs recognition. And, of course, when he gets it he likes it. My father’s visit worked on him like nectar to a bee.”


Within weeks of this meeting, Dubinin was rapidly appointed ambassador to the United States. Was this all a coincidence, or a KGB plot to recruit Trump?

From post 4669 and the last time trump lied about this

https://www.npr.org/2025/01/28/nx-s1...e-spacex-trump

Wilmore and Williams are slated to fly home on#SpaceX's Crew-9 capsule, which is currently docked to the ISS. It was sent up with only two crewmembers — a move to make room for Wilmore and Williams to return in the capsule with them next month.

But#NASA#recently#announced a delay#in Crew-10, which would bring Crew-9's replacement to the station, to late March.#NASA#flies a new crew to the ISS before returning the previous one, maintaining adequate staffing at the station.

Shockingly trump is lying aout this 'new' rescue, plans were already in place under Biden.

In that same vein, apparently photos of the Enola Gay (the plane that dropped the first atomic bomb, for those who don't know) have been flagged for removal from military websites because those geniuses thought it was an example of DEI.

Quote:
In some cases, photos seemed to be flagged for removal simply because their file included the word ”gay,” including service members with that last name and an image of the B-29 aircraft Enola Gay, which dropped the first atomic bomb on Hiroshima, Japan, during World War II.

The people who vote for Trump. How are they even able to operate a computer with so few brain cells?

You might call him a CINO. Or, bilingually, En Cino....

Doug Ford is Encino Man.

Anyone who calls CP an echo chamber needs to check out that subreddit. The lengths they will go to defending the deletion of any post that disputes their bull#### while also claiming to be for free speech is truly mind-boggling.

Interesting hearing some chatter out of Japan. Trump is threatening tariffs there as well.

What he wants?

For Japan to stop devaluing the Yen.
For Japan to stop relying on the US for national defense and spend more on the military.

Not sure if already posted, but apparently as part of discussions with Trudeau, Trump said he doesn't believe the 1908 treaty that determined the border between the USA and Canada is valid.

So yeah, really pushing that invasion / annexation thing.

It's not valid. They need to fix the errors at Point Roberts an The Northwest Angle.
