evilweasel posted:i think he used his wealth to suggest he must be incorruptible and competent, both of which are hilariously untrue, but like for part of the republican primary he was running on increasing taxes on the rich, running against free trade, and the racism and sexism was part of his appeal rather than a thing he needed cover for I'm saying his supporters and surrogates used it as cover. It gave people something to point to as a reason for their support rather than just openly saying "yeah, I'm voting for Trump because gently caress everyone is who isn't white." Wealth fetishism was a huge component of Trump's popularity with his base.

Oh by the way, here's something fun. https://twitter.com/rustysunshine/status/871756450422341633 The only ways you can really reduce delays like Trump wants is to build more runways (NIMBYs won't let that happen even if the godemperor says so) or reduce the minimum separation distance between aircraft. So who wants to fly in formation from LA->JFK and hope nothing goes wrong?

Dear lord every single drat thing the right said about obama being a laughingstock of the world was just them describing every single thing trump is doing right now. Verbally attacking and Berating an ally who just suffered from an attack is freaking insane. Hurry the gently caress up on the special prosecutor already... this poo poo show can't go on for three and a half more years... it just can't

Airline companies pretty much control the world and public transit is all planes. They are armed with weapons and shoot each other out of the sky to make better times and land quicker. Every scene showing the sky just having hundreds of plays flying in every direction all crazy. It never came out as it's release date was set for 9/11/2001.

Sarah Sanders is giving the briefing today. Remember last Friday when Spicer got asked twenty times whether Trump believes climate change is a hoax, then a lady reporter at the end finally gives up and asks "well could you loving ask him, Sean?" I bet ya  that Sanders has not asked the President, and will be unable to answer whether he believes climate change is real.

My local paper decided to run this amazing opinion piece from the Philadelphia Inquirer. It begins with probably the poorest interpretation of 1984 I've ever seen:quote:“As usual, the face of Emmanuel Goldstein, the Enemy of the People, had flashed upon the screen. There were hisses here and there among the audience. … The programmes of the Two Minutes Hate varied from day to day, but there was none in which Goldstein was not the principal figure. He was the primary traitor, the earliest defiler of the Party’s purity. All subsequent crimes against the Party, all treacheries, acts of sabotage, heresies, deviations, sprang directly from his teachings. … He was the commander of a vast shadowy army, an underground network of conspirators dedicated to the overthrow of the State. … http://onlineathens.com/opinion/2017-06-04/parry-media-have-forfeited-all-objectivity-bid-pull-down-trump Our paper is owned by one of those big rightwing media groups that's been buying up local papers, so we get these pretty regularly. They actually held our paper hostage before the election and forced them to endorse Trump.

No I completely agree, my PhD was not climate science but closely related and I'll be a pedant about it whenever someone talks about "belief" in climate change. Science isn't asking you to "believe" in anything, it simply presents the evidence and you can choose to accept or reject it. In this case there's overwhelming evidence for man-made global warming, you can choose to reject that but it's irrational and reckless given the consequences if unchecked.

One of the WaPo commenters captured the problem with air traffic privatization perfectly: edit: the article itself offers some good background https://www.washingtonpost.com/loca...omepage%2Fstory tldr: it's not the traffic controllers that are the problem (Congress actually loves them), but rather the FAA's plan (called NextGen) to modernize some of the air traffic control systems. Congress says the plan is moving way too slowly and thinks privatization is the solution. Slow News Day fucked around with this message at 17:16 on Jun 5, 2017 |

Fun fact, air traffic controllers have strict health requirements just like pilots and are mandated to have physical exams and have a hard retirement age. They have to disclose every medication they're on and if they don't, they can be suspended/fired. Good luck replacing these people with $9/hour shitfucks who are high on adderall and/or oxy.

What may torpedo this privatization plan is that strong, urban, democratic-area airports are all going to be profit centers for this corporation while weak, rural, republican-area airports will be money-losing boondoggles for this corporation, and the thought may percolate through red-state senator skulls that perhaps the free market is only appropriate when it benefits their constituents.
