Why you can’t win with MAGA

Why would Ukraine have to invade Russia? Canadian fans picked this fight: But team USA threw the first punch. Who started it? -

If the IRS is gone, it's because the tax revenue is external, not internal. But, as I have said on here, it will never happen. Do you really want to keep up with thes childish attempts at gotchas? -

Not making a deal started the war. What more do you need to know? -

There is a government website for that. -

Because of the ages of some of them. There are about 8 million people over 130 years old per that spreadsheet. True. But the point of the post you replied to is that the numbers were people with social security numbers and not the numbers of people collecting Social Security. -

LMAO...oh I just read it again. Conclusion: We are both wrong. Musk isn't claiming those people are collecting Social Security. He's claiming those are the numbers of people alive with a social security number. -

His point was that they should have made a deal (in 2014) with the separatists and then there may not have been a war. -
Elon is a volunteer (aka special government employee). He's not taking a salary so he's not an employee. That doesn't mean he's not in charge. The President has assigned Elon with the power to make decisions and Elon has been granted security clearances based, in part, on his responsibilities and authorities at DOGE.

Trump voters regret their votes en masse
gatomontes99 replied to robosmith's topic in Federal Politics in the United States
@robosmith is just desperately trying to cling to a fantasy. CNN: Senior data reporter shows stark difference in Trump’s approval ratings from first to second term Trump has a net positive rating in multiple polls, in the average of all polls and for the entirety of his term. Noone has any regrets. -
There are far too many problems with this guy's analysis for me to hit them all. However, I will hit him pretty hard on the crosswind technique. He assumes that the GA technique of slipping the aircraft at landing is appropriate. I don't know that is the case for the CRJ900. Some aircraft require no wing dip and allow for side loading of the tires on touchdown. I would doubt that that is the CRJ's SOP, but it should be noted that he is assuming he knows the correct crosswind technique. Part of me thinks something other than the gear hit the ground first or at the same time as the gear. You see some snow fly about 1/3rd of the way out under the wing at touchdown. Couple that with the assumed fact that they had drifted left of centerline and might have attempted to correct for that, they might have been over banked. I will also add that you see a significant ground speed drop over the runway. There are a lot of very young and inexperienced pilots at all of these regional right now. A scenario where an inexperienced pilot reduced the thrust at the standard height above touchdown and having not had enough power to maintain the appropriate approach speed could have put this aircraft in a position where it lost lift and descended rapidly in the last 50 feet. A lot of these regional teach power settings for approach. It is a short cut to help inexperienced pilots fly stable approaches. Strong winds require adding power to maintain an appropriate glide path. That still wouldn't explain how the gear and wing came off though. That mistake is made every day and has been made every day since the days of Orville and Wilber. Why did this airplane come apart and none of the others? I'm going to say the two most likely culprits are maintenance or the wing contacted the ground. The firm landing is going to be a contributing factor though. Lastly, this is all speculation and talk. Nothing I said is factual to this case. I just threw out some generalized statements that might apply.

Depends on the doctor.

Ok, tell us what exactly the cuts did that directly caused a helicopter pilot to fly into the path of an RJ, a Mexican jet to have a catastrophic flight control failure and a delta landing gear or Wong to separate from the fuselage. Id love to hear that so we can fix it. After all, your the genius that knows how all these things are connected. So quit holding back and detail the chain reactions that caused this.

Why you can’t win with MAGA
gatomontes99 replied to Radiorum's topic in Federal Politics in the United States
After adding those numbers up and multiplying by 2,000 (the average monthly SS check) i came up with just $900B rounded up. The US spends $1.2T on SS. I doubt his numbers are massively wrong. -
Is it? This is what they did to Trump: They literally took out important context that painted Biden in a negative light to make Trump's answers seem incoherent. In reality, his answers were really damaging to Joe. Now watch the Kackler: She starts with an incoherent, disjointed word salad. When she finally comes around to something that sounds somewhat plausible, they cut to that. In the second clip, they edited out the parts where she sounded unsure, scared and weak to the seconds where she sounded somewhat authoritative. The evidence is there. They were editing their interviews to create opinion rather than editing them for time.

Another win for America
gatomontes99 replied to Deluge's topic in Federal Politics in the United States
The win is the fact they are actually trying to stop waste rather than just throwing the money down the toilet and asking for more because they are out. -
Full List of Lawsuits Filed Against Donald Trump This Week The left is painting themselves into a corner. They have three major issues as a result of filing lawsuits. The first is money. These lawsuits require money from both sides. However, Trump has the almost unlimited resources of the federal government. The democrats have to raise money. Every dollar they spend on this lawfare is money they can't spend on campaigns in the midterm elections. More important than the money is the appearance of what they are doing. They are fighting to keep corruption. That is the perception. This holds in polling that shows Democrats with a 59% disapproval in the polls. The thing that will hurt them the most is the results of the lawsuits. Every lawsuit that they lose will codify the Preisdent's power. Those EOs won't need to be made legislation. The EOs they manage to cancel will need to be legislation. The end result is the Democrats will have helped Trump determine what he had to prioritize for legislation and what he didn't. When it comes to the budget process in September, they will have to use less political capital to get the reconciliation bill passed because they will know what must be prioritized what can be left as an EO.
