The space station thing is a side quest that has nothing to do with the linked article. I'll happily concede the point, even though it seems pretty questionable to me.
It's still not remotely true that (sigh) "Obummer" was using the law to threaten grants and censor research. Trump did that. Only Trump did that. And that's a whole lot worse than wasted effort on a dumb space station.
I think the dude above was just explaining the Wolf amendment origins, I don't think it was an attempt to shift blame away from Trump for the current policies or both sides it. Just giving more context as to one specific item listed in the original article, and the ridiculous knock on effects it's had.
Which, in itself, is interesting, and is something that I wasn't aware of. Think it's just an innocuous tangent in this case.
Did the use of Obummer give you that sense?
Oh we have to worship our ex presidents like kings? It’s possible to criticize both Trump and Obama.
For example my top criticism of Obama is that he killed a 15 year old American child without trial. His press secretary was not only was unapologetic he said “ I would suggest that you should have a far more responsible father if they are truly concerned about the well-being of their children.”

That father incidentally was another American killed without due process by Obummer’s personal order.
What’s your favorite Obama criticism?
