I vividly recall the Kuwaiti X-Ray machine guy nodding off with his feet kicked up behind the monitor, so yeah I'm not upset about this.

They still haven't deemed the Egypt Air flight a terrorist attack or not. Some media outlets were stating it was a bombing using an IED the size of a 8oz soda can. There was an ACARS message stating that it was actually a catastrophic electronics failure, followed by the pilot taking a rapid descent, potentially to clear the cabin of smoke. They've also found explosive residue on some of the victims. It's a cluster gently caress worthy of Egypt.

http://www.thenewcivilrightsmovement.com/davidbadash/trump_tells_gop_lawmakers_i_m_gonna_come_after_you_if_you_vote_against_trumpcarequote:President Donald Trump Tuesday morning told Republican House lawmakers he will "come after" them if they do not vote for TrumpCare, the Republican bill to repeal and "replace" ObamaCare. Earlier today NCRM reported the President had threatened Republican Congressmen by stating they "will lose" their seats if they don't pass TrumpCare. He's gonna die alone.

In a different timeline, that's the kind of stuff that fires up moderate R's and makes them come out against the Prez. In this timeline, the healthcare bill makes it out of the house with unprecedented R support.

Its pretty loving simple for the Democrats to get elected but it'd also require them to admit that they were just as guilty as the Republicans about loving over Americans at every turn to please their Corporate Overlords

In the former case, it was definitely an IED smuggled aboard by a compromised baggage handler at Sharm el Sheikh Airport. In the latter, a definitive cause has never been released. Curiously, I don't recall any groups claiming the EgyptAir crash, which is rare even if it weren't terrorist activity.

Genocide Tendency posted:Given that the these are the same people keeping him from being impeached for colluding with the Russians to undermine the elections, maybe threatening them is a bad idea. I consider this health care thing a major test of how hard a grip the trumpster fire has on the entire republican party's balls. He's promised his followers the moon and the rest of the party has to follow along with his bat poo poo insanity or fight him head to head. If the Hate Mango was smart he'd rebrand the ACA by scrawling Trumpcare across the title with a gold sharpie, sneak in a few tax cuts that nobody except a billionaire's team of lawyers can understand and spin it to his base so hard a vinyl record gets jealous. He is not smart and is instead lashing out in fury at perceived slights against his ego because he doesn't get how the game is played in politics. The "freedom caucus" (gently caress I hate that name) is already making GBS threads on his gold plated ideas for not being a full repeal right now, and it's only going downhill from here.

I was talking about this with a mate yesterday. If trump was even slightly competent he would be dangerous as hell. Imagine if he could keep his fat mouth shut instead of lashing out constantly. Imagine if he forced through all his terrible ideas instead of demanding respect.
