Is he aware that the decades of solar radiation on the moon has bleached the flag the Apollo astronauts left?

It's white. Indistinguishable from a flag of surrender.

Not to mention, the US is a signatory of the Outer Space Treaty, recognizing space as neutral ground and subject to the same legal precedent as maritime law governing international waters.

Fucking lunatic should have been removed already.

Never should have made it through the first term.

Republican party bent the knee so god damned fast...

Oh, look, another treaty he's ignoring.

Except Trump had made it abundantly clear that: A) American agreements are signed in pencil B) The American people are OK with A).

American treaties have a long history of being ignored. Treatment of the native peoples, for example.

the US's agreement on something is worth basically nothing, and will be for a very long time

At this point I don't think he's aware of much beyond that 2pm is pudding time.

Is that what they call it when he shits his pants?

[–] LadyButterfly@reddthat.com 6 points 1 day ago

He likes white things so you'd think he'd know about the flag

I would assume the cloth on the flag has broken down by now. It's been getting blasted by unfiltered solar radiation for almost 60 years. I'm not sure what it was made of, but I wouldn't expect thin cotton or polyester lasting in that environment for 60 years.
