- It will take a minimum of 5 years to strip, inspect, and retrofit that Qatari airplane to spec, by which time our native VC-25Bs will be ready. And for the record, white American voters like me *are* dumb.

- So, if he's gonna start using this "free" airplane from Qatar as AF1, it's going to be missing a lot of countermeasures. Matador radar missile jammer, IRCM jammers for IR missiles, DICM, and probably visual laser dazzlers to thwart collision attacks by a suicide jockey flying a stolen bizjet.
- Once a foreign government can openly give the president a half-billion-dollar plane as a personal gift, there’s no red line left between a democracy and a full-blown kleptocracy. www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/corruption...

- This insult has been deployed against me once people learn I'm originally from the United States. Hard to argue with it, really.
- This is one of the reasons Google removed the option of showing 100 results per page, forcing you to view only 10 at a time, so they'll serve less results and more ads.
- Reposted by Robert Westbrook, Aircraft & Accordion RepairI've been deleting comments from the bathroom police but I am annoyed that people pretend to care about the safety of women when they literally elected a rapist felon president. No one is falling for your lies. We know you don't care about women. Stop pretending. It's pathetic. You're pathetic.
- Good grief.
- Reposted by Robert Westbrook, Aircraft & Accordion RepairToday I am thinking of my mother, Dr. Shyamala Gopalan Harris, and the many lessons she taught me. I am so proud to be her daughter. Happy Mother's Day to the mothers, stepmoms, grandmothers, godmothers, aunties, and all the women in our lives who love, raise, and guide us.

- What "negotiation?" They can simply leave. russians don't do negotiation, those vile fucks only kill, or die.

- "They are all fanatical capitalists, a philosophy founded on the premise of infinite and eternal exponential growth, so of course they reject the science, or fall for twisted, perverse wish-fulfillment versions of the science."
- Just because someone has been critical of trump & vance doesn't necessarily mean they're on the side of the angels (which don't exist, btw).
- White people voted out everyone who could have stopped this: POTUS, House reps, Senators. Now we've got an Executive Branch that cares not a whit whether its citizens live or die. Griping that "Congress" does nothing shifts blame from Republicans to an amorphous entity, which is not helpful.
- BREAKING: Radar screens at Newark Airport went black early this morning. Air traffic controllers told a FedEx plane that their screens went dark around 3:55 a.m. They then asked the aircraft to tell their company to apply pressure to fix the problem. abcnews.go.com/US/radar-scr...

- This theatrical opening to the Edmonton/Vegas game is the most moronic, farcical shit I have ever seen in sports, and that includes the stupidity of pro wrestling.
- Fetterman's always been trash (he held an innocent Black jogger at gunpoint when he was mayor), but it's terrifying to know that a stroke could turn a person into a monster, altering your personality in an instant.

- Safer on the ground anyway than flying on that trash Sukhoi Superjet along with the drunkard russian flight crews.
- If I were a crazed enemy of the United States in the government, I'd discourage vaccination (while getting vaccinated myself), and destroy large supplies of stockpiled smallpox vaccines the U.S. has ready for emergency use.

- Reposted by Robert Westbrook, Aircraft & Accordion RepairHow was it strategic? Can I ask that you pls be specific answering and try to avoid these principled-sounding moral terms that don't have any actual, political significance? Now's your chance. Explain it to me like I'm 6: How was you helping a racist felon rapist get reelected "actually strategic?"
- Reposted by Robert Westbrook, Aircraft & Accordion RepairFar too many fundamentally misunderstand what voting is. It's not a form of personal moral expression; it's a large scale harm v benefit equation, & that takes certain sympathetic & critical thinking skills, of which there's a woeful dearth in this country. Dumb & mean. That's what we are, mostly.
