  1. They can't even elect a speaker. Until that happens the House can't do anything.
  2. Do you ever think Republicans will get around to actually providing the government people elected them to provide?
  3. Like I said, due process Nationalist style. We don't need no courts, except for the benefit of homophobic, misogynist scumbags.
  4. https://news.yahoo.com/trump-praises-putin-move-ukraine-021323120.html https://www.newsweek.com/heres-all-times-trump-has-praised-putin- 708859https://www.foxnews.com/video/6299056962001
  5. Hunter doesn't even get a day in court for you to pronounce guilt. So much for due process.

  7. Ya, Ukraine will be a democracy again when Putin takes over. Speaking of ignorance.
  8. Any contact sport is a gladiator sport except a deliberate intent to injure is not common.
  9. The towers were supposedly designed to withstand the impact of a B707 at normal cruising speed. The speed limit below 10,000 feet is 250 Kts. Below 2500 feet and within 4.5 nautical miles of an airport it is 200 Kts. Both La Guardia and Newark were within or close to 4.5 miles. This was done in the event of an aircraft being lost or off course in fog. AA 11 was 404 Kts when it hit the tower.
  10. Sure, all buildings are built to withstand 150 tons of aircraft containing 20 tons of kerosene hitting them at 400+ knots.
  11. Because we understand that countries like Russia, Iran, China and North Korea aren't going to stick up for our freedoms.
  12. Boston ARTCC bypassed standard protocols and directly contacted the North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) Northeast Air Defense Sector (NEADS) in Rome, New York.[17] NEADS called on two F-15 fighter jets at Otis Air National Guard Base in Mashpee, Massachusetts, to intercept. Officials at Otis spent a few minutes getting authorization for the fighters to take off.[17] Atta completed the final turn towards Manhattan at 08:43.[27] The order to dispatch the fighters at Otis was given at 08:46, and the F-15s took off at 08:53,[17][35] roughly seven minutes after American Airlines Flight 11 had already crashed into the North Tower. Of the four hijacked aircraft on 9/11, the nine minutes of advance notification about the hijacking of Flight 11 was the most time that NORAD had to respond before the aircraft crashed into its intended target.[47]
  13. As far as building 7 goes, I don't know but because no one knows, it must be a conspiracy.
  14. Don't you ever get tired of playing the victim
  15. A: They didn't know what the terrorists are up to or even that they had been hijacked. B: You don't shoot down civilian airliners just because they are off course or doing something weird. Particularly if they are your own airliners. They may have thought they could have been hijacked but had no reason to think they would be flown into buildings. I don't think anyone would argue there weren't some serious security lapses. Let's face it, there hadn't been a hijacking in North America for decades and we had become very complacent.
  16. Ya, they did. Back then, cockpit doors and their locks were easily forced. The locks were there basically to keep passengers from thinking it was just another washroom. After 9/11 they were replaced by bullet proof doors with deadbolts. Two pilots strapped into their seats will be in no position to fight back if someone comes up behind them and slits their throats. I don't know if any of the box cutters were found by security but at that time you could legally take a knife on an aircraft as long as the blade length was less than 4 inches. Pre 9/11 I used to carry a Leatherman and always got it through security. The buildings collapsed from the top down, demolitions always show explosions at the bottom of the building, there is no sign of that in the 9/11 collapses.
  17. How many stolen guns have been used in US mass shootings? Almost all have been bought legally. If the US has by far the most guns per capita and no requirements for training and few for storage, the odds of a firearm being stolen are much greater. Only eleven states have laws requiring locking devices and twenty seven states with laws designed for keeping them out of the hands of children. That's it. Sweden and the US couldn't be more different. https://www.findlaw.com/legalblogs/criminal-defense/gun-storage-laws-by-state/ You forgot this part. Also, ammunition for military issued weapons is kept at armouries, not taken home with the weapon.
  18. If the towers were brought down by planted explosives, why did they bother to fly two aircraft full of people into them? Just asking.
  19. I guess the friends and families of those crew members and passengers don't exist either.
  20. It's the real story. You should have quit while you were ahead.
  21. Sorry, but not a fan of a god who gave my high school sweetheart and bride of almost 53 years inoperable brain cancer. He can stick his "plan" where the sun don't shine.
  22. The aircraft that hit the towers were B767's. The aircraft that crashed into the Pentagon and the field in Pennsylvania were B-757's. The 767's are wide bodies and the 757's are narrow bodies but have almost identical systems and pilots are often dual qualified. A 767 qualified pilot only needs a one day difference course to be qualified on a 757 and vice versa. There was debris from both B757's at the impact sites. The debris field in Pennsylvania was small and the crater deep because the aircraft went in almost vertically from altitude and was likely supersonic when it hit the ground. It isn't complicated.
  23. So West is now a lefty. Do you think he knows that?
