What would this bill have done? Real world. If this bill had passed. What would it have done? Because if it was just words with no mechanisms for change, what does it matter how we vote other than the feels that come from it? America has strongly condemned Russia's actions. How would it help to do that again? It didn't change anything in the past. Maybe this time we try to get the war ended and move on. Yes, that means Russia bullied their way into some of what they wanted. But it also means innocent civilians in Ukraine aren't being killed.

Nothing to see here folks. It is just a glitch that it suggests replacing the word racist with the word Trump. Does anyone believe that it was a glitch? Best case scenario (for apple) some a-hole lib working for them snuck the code in. Worst case, they did it on purpose.

Now, to what really happened at KMDW today. https://www.liveatc.net/archive.php? Start at 14:50 FlexJet 560 is cleared to taxi via Alpha, Foxtrot and Hold Short of Runway 4L. Later they are cleared to taxi via 4L, cross 31L and hold short of 31C. XLJ560 followed all of the instructions except hold short of 31C. You'll notice that they are confused about the instructions from the very beginning. They asked for clarification for every set of instructions they were given and were corrected on the last set of instructions because they read back that they were going to cross 31C. They did read back and appear to understand the instructions. Here is the airport diagram with arrows and a read line at the last point they were told to stop. Pilot confusion appears to be a factor. Another factor is runway markings. On taxiways, every runway is preceded by a "hold short line." On runways, they don't put hold short lines for crossing runways. The exception to that rule is based on land and hold short operations. In some cases, the runways are long enough that it can be reasonably expected that all aircraft can stop prior to the crossing runway (or taxiway in some cases). When that is the case, a hold short line will be painted prior to the runway (or taxiway). Runway 31C is not far enough down the runway to get that type of indicator. Most likely, the pilots didn't realize they were crossing a runway because they didn't see the Hold Short Line. However, they should have known where they were. The Challenger 350 is equipped with large screens and a moving map display. In addition, they pilots almost certainly us JeppFD that is on an iPad and has a moving map display. KMDW can be a very busy airport. It was not that busy at the time of the incident. Sometimes pilots don't even get a chance to read back taxi clearances. Frankly, there is no good excuse for entering an active runway without clearance. What really should be the narrative right now is not DEI...not cuts to nonessential FAA personnel...the narrative should be that single pilot commercial operations would be an inherently unsafe policy. The SWA crew was able to execute a flawless rejected landing and save all of the passengers on board precisely because there were two pilots on board. Two pilots doubled their chances of seeing the offending aircraft. Two pilots doubled their chances of making a good decision. Two pilots doubled their chances of rejecting the landing safely. Further, even thought the Challenger had two pilots, had it only been one pilot, these types of incidents would occur more often. For every event like this, there are countless events that are stopped because one pilot saw the problem the other pilot was creating. Also, stop making these things political. They aren't. The FAA sets the minimum government standard. Pilots and controls that can only meet the minimum government standard suck. The incidents that happened recently are unrelated and unaffected by anything Biden or Trump did. Since the days of Bush pilots, controllers and airlines have been begging the FAA to modernize. They haven't. It didn't happen under Bush or Trump and it didn't happen under Obama or Biden. It's not political.

Isn't it great how well we all get along. 😬

Trump saved the day while Canda nearly screwed us! Did you see how the well trained and more efficient ATC and SWA pilots prevented a deadly accident while the Canadian made jet just taxied right onto an active runway! Someone should ask Trudeau why he is trying to kill Americans! Do you think liberals will get the sarcasm?

The irony of the whole thread is that he can't argue with MAGA because he doesn't know what he's talking about.

He's cratering! Lmao

I put links to all the public financial filings for these 501c3s. This isn't a MAGA says. This is a follow the money and it says.

So naive.

That sounds like you've given up. Maybe ten years ago this would be very hard. With the tech they have now, there can be meaningful analysis that leads to targeted cuts. Make no mistake, some of the cuts will go too far. But that is actually better than not going far enough. It is relatively easy to reinstate these people.

Yep. Libs ignored it and tried to dismiss it. But I put a lot of links into it.

Or it's a wellness check to see if anyone responds. Plus, AI can analyze all the responses to see who put something worthwhile and who didn't. So feed the returns to a computer and let the results speak for themselves. For now, this is a shake up. Break it then rebuild it better than new.

Rule #2. When they can't fight us intellectually, they just resort to name calling. The irony here is that she lacked the intellectual fortitude to discuss anything of substance. But she did manage to say that stupidity should be censored. Of course, that doesn't mean her stupidity. It's only the stupidity of others that matters. But we know what she really means. She means that people she disagrees with should be censored.

It's not sinking fast, it's steady and it's only lower than 50 because of an outlier that reported multiple times.

When did Trump ever exceed 50% in his first term? He didn't. Despite what your poll says, Trump has a 53%: https://napolitannews.org/posts/president-trump-job-approval-53-percent-approve-44-disapprove According to that aggregate of polls he's been over 50% the whole time. If you go onto the 538 polling, only the Ipsos/Reuters poll shows Trump significantly below 50% approval. Toss that out and his average is over 50%. You are just stuck in your fantasy world.

Lmao. Ok. So I use actual polls and links to back my position and all you have is a personal attack? Forgive me if I don't question my views based on your predictable use of rule #2.

Rule #2. It has to be that the people that disagree with you are sexist, right? It can't be that she wanted to destroy the housing and stock markets with an insane tax on money you don't have? Her absolute lack of ability to have a coherent conversation? Her inability to even make a website without plagiarizing Joe, a senile old man that can't even tell you how to get to a website. The last month has show us that real leadership can cut costs, secure the border, bring home hostages, fight back in the long running trade wars, negotiate the end to real wars and bring back sanity to our federal institutions. Harris wouldn't have done that. Biden could not even spell or say institution. They were a joke and the people that voted against them had zero misogyny in their hearts.

No. He was talking about the starting point of his drop being from a record low position and then going lower. I pointed out that Trump was at a high position. That is what is accurate. If you look at the 538 poll tracking, Trump started at 49.5% approval and has fallen all the way to 48.5%. @robosmith is just trying to cherry pick data and/or completely make shit up. Here is reality: 538 Trump Approval

I don't think he knows english. I think he's using Google Translate. So I don't think he has access to the actual quote.

Yeah. I don't have to lie to support my position. My position is firmly rooted in reality. Your position is based on lies and hope.

Yes, but @robosmith tried to claim Trump started at a very low point and went lower. That was a lie. Actually, his amature diagnosis is spot on. This thread is the product of mental anguish that resulted in delusional rantings attempting to create a believable fantasy of discontent that is in opposition to the reality that is Trump's support.

Since what you said is without context, here is the context: In other words, if you got an email by mistake you may disregard it for the reasons stated above.

So this is a wellness check of sorts.

Project much? You don't even know that it is the President's job to ensure laws are properly enforced.
