aircraft fuel is pretty different than just standard mogas, avgas for general aviation usually has lead in it still thanks to a million general aviation planes being old as gently caress. jet A is pretty close to kerosene

avgas is also quite literally orders of magnitude lower usage than cars/trucks, in '08 the US general aviation fleet used .14% of mogas consumption apparently (186 million vs ~172 billion)

I'm surprised Donald never purged his old tweets, but I guess that would constitute an admission of error.

The orange fecal smear is incapable of discernible function. An alligator's brain is about the size of a shelled walnut, and yet an alligator's behavior is hugely more predictable and functional than that of the poo poo stain that is the current "president".

A huge part of the reason that the Comey letter happened was that the NY FBI office had already leaked to Trump's campaign about the investigation "opening back up" into Clinton. Comey probably never would have said anything to anyone if they hadn't.(this is not to excuse Comey)

It bothers me that “I didn’t know it was a crime” doesn’t work for poor people or people of color, but it does work for scummy, rich assholes.

THAT'S the motherfucker about all this: trump and his ilk are pissing and moaning about real, actual issues! It IS hard for the innocent to defend themselves in America's justice system, you CAN have your entire life destroyed for a crime you didn't commit, you CAN be forced to make a fake confession, all that stuff is very real and very serious...but not for motherfuckers like them! It's so loving infuriating and this planet is so lucky I can't set things on fire with my mind. Watching, in agonizingly slow real time, how much different the justice system is for the wealthy while they, for the very first time ever in their life, point out the flaws in our system that aren't effecting them in the least is loving galling.

maybe I am misinterpreting, but france is primarily a diesel driving economy no? so the jet fuel exemption would be significant -- and regressive as gently caress -- as kero jet can be straight blended into diesel (ie only spec differences are sulfur and jet a additives afaik, probably slightly different cetane and flash points but immaterial I would suspect).

It is kinda funny that he's lauding the anti-Macron protests since Macron was his best friend a few months ago.

I just figure his predilection towards being petty about something overwhelms all other considerations most of the time. It's a very noticeable character trait of his. He quite literally just seems to in order of priority:

- Fling poo poo at people on twitter/Golf
- Go to rallies and photo-ops after national tragedies and disasters expecting to be applauded
- Nominate judges for McConnell to cram through the senate (Jeff Flake basically makes this impossible right now so he seems to be spending even more time flinging poo poo on twitter since November)
- Antagonize U.S allies with tariffs and reneging on trade deals Obama, Bush and Clinton made

And that's been his presidency after 2 years. He literally doesn't seem to do or care about anything else, which makes me wonder what he's going to run on for re-election other than more lies and bullshit.

I figure they've probably been keeping it a little more on the down low. Supposedly he's spent at least 25% of his entire presidency to date on the golf course though. I honestly wonder what the breakdown of him watching Fox News and rage tweeting is though. I still think it has to be at least 25% as well, like it's without a doubt the defining part of the Trump Presidency and what people will remember most about it in 10-15 years.

It’s strange how much has just been forgotten with the constant dump of scandals. Anyone remember Nov 3 2016 when for some odd reason Dmitry Rybolovlev’s plane landed in rural NC for some odd reason at the same time Trump held a rally? Never had any reason and it only stayed for a single day.

They're correct in only being concerned about the base, because nothing will come of the Mueller investigation.

Even if it's correct that convincing the base is enough to avoid immediate consequences, convincing only the base isn't enough to win elections. 538 did an article on it--basically, Republicans have to convince people outside of their base to vote for them to win, whereas Democrats have to convince their base to vote at all to win.

Of course, "loses in 2020" is not the full extent of the consequences we want to happen but it's definitely not nothing.
