Didn’t happen

whoahbaby Launch got scrubbed

...and, in classic 2020 fashion, something we can all get together behind and root for.... is postponed.

CNN reports the scrub of the launch was due to realDonaldTrump not wearing a mask during his NASA visit.

CNN host S.E. Cupp declared on Wednesday that President Trump is 'hallucinating' and 'needs help'

Can someone besides TeamCavuto be on there?I just can’t stand to watch him or listen to him. 😱

Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ please protect these Men as they travel from 🌎to the International Space Station !! I pray they return safely As well !! In Jesus name I pray Amen !! 🚀SPACEFORCE

Can we instead put Trump and Kushner instead of those 2 astronauts and do a 1-way trip... Just asking...

Get Cavuto’s gravels voice off there. Tired of listening to his hacking-up his luggies on camera. It’s ridiculous
