peepaw needs mental help, or he just needs someone to release the epstein files

He's def gonna try to get the most popular (by far) living ex president arrested on some insane bullshit. In a midterm year where the Rs are sinking past D+6/7/8 on the generic ballot already and he's flirting with GWB term two approvals. I'm sure that will work out.

So, he’s openly attempting to loot the Treasury!

He’s just dipping straight into your pockets now. He thinks the Treasury as his own personal piggy bank. Do his supporters realize he stays awake at night figuring out ways to steal money from the American taxpayer. He does not care about you. He’s now attempting to steal $10 billion from "We the People".

Kleptocracy, means basically "rule by thieves," is a form of government where political leaders (kleptocrats) systematically exploit their power to expropriate state resources and wealth for personal gain.

I guess he'll also order them to settle the lawsuit, so Trump can effectively rob the American taxpayer, again.

Trump sues government department for $10 Billion, then orders government department to settle with him.

MAGA will support this, because it's a cult and it literally doesn't matter what he does, they will agree. He could order they send him all their teenage daughters for Baron Trumps harem, and they would do it...

Bombardier had to sell to Airbus and eat the cost of developing the plane. Kicker was Boeing had no comparable airframe for sale.
Yep. The competitor to the CRJ series was the Embraer E series. The 737 is simply a bigger plane that serves a different market segment.

The Max 8 is close-ish but at a non-trivially higher unit cost and fuel burn. Airbus has sold almost a thousand A220s heh.

BTW… a decertified aircraft can be sold in the United States.

I worked for a company that has done this several times. In my case, I got a one time ferry permit from the FAA to my maintenance base specifically addressing why the aircraft was decertified. At completion of all the maintenance and inspections required to conform to the type certificate an FAA inspector must sign off and issue a new type certificate or supplemental tc as required by the manufacturer.

He must be sicker than we thought. This is his legacy, right here. This. Throughout his entire existence, he’s been looking for handouts funded by the very people he’s screwing over. He needs one more big score before he croaks.

Funny enough, those A220s are having…problems. I recall there’s a reliability issue with their Pratt & Whitney engines that’s bad enough that 20% of the worldwide fleet is grounded.

A220-100s have been parked to cannablize engine parts for the 200s while P&W gets its shit together. Airbus just, like yesterday, announced the A220-500 and it sounds like CFM is going to be asked for an engine option.

Trump vows to keep housing expensive, to benefit the rich.
If you don't own a house, you simply did not work hard.

This feels like a repost, but it probably needs to be said until people understand it.

Wanabe real estate magnate sees everything as a lot. Hammer meet nail. He cares nothing for the average American, only those that can make significant private contributions.

Journalists arrested for the crime of... journalism

Journalists Don Lemon and Georgia Fort taken into custody after Minnesota church protest

Lemon has repeatedly said he was present at the demonstration as a journalist, not as an activist. In a video of the episode that he posted to YouTube, Lemon said, “I’m just here photographing, I’m not part of the group… I’m a journalist.”

Fort made the same points in a Facebook Live stream when federal agents arrived at her home early Friday morning.

“This is all stemming from the fact that I filmed a protest as a member of the media,” Fort said before she surrendered to agents...

Where is the opposition party to really amplify these events which shit on the Constitution? To rally and inspire opposition?

Absolutely nowhere.

Why not just let the failed state, fail on it's own accord.
From the day communism came into the world, the capitalist-controlled states have been at war with it, making sure no successful communist state comes into existence. All systems opposed to capitalism must be destroyed lest the masses figure out that they are being robbed of their lives by the capitalists.

at what point does peepaw get sent to the sanitarium?

just saw that 'Melania' is the most expensive "documentary" ever made, almost twice the cost of BBC's Earth or World at War (which is 26 episodes)


lol paying people $50 to see it ? was that part of the marketing budget? lmfao
That's what happens when you skim a project.

How is this even allow? How can a sitting president file a lawsuit against his own government? I would asume this would be a conflict of interest.

I agree he'll order his stooges to settle with him. Also I think at some point it would be abuse of power. Since he the head executive of the IRS and DOJ. He can basically order them to settle with him. I'll be surprise if it goes to trial. If it does it'll be sham trial. We know congress, at least the republicans won't step in and tell him to quit the stupid bullshit.

I was reading Twitter/X this morning. Maga cult was praising Trump for suing the IRS. It like wtf is wrong with these dumbasses. Anyone with half a brain knows maga cult would be screaming their heads off if any other president was trying to sue the irs for $10 billons. They would be screaming abuse of power, calling for impeachement, etc

The failed state, is really only failing because of decades of crippling US sanctions inflicting hardship on them.

Yet another example of how the US has repeatedly wrecked other countries, and has never really been, "The good guys".

At best the USA was often the lesser of evils between Russia/China/USA.

But lately it's not even that.

Who's left to stop it? Trump just fires anyone that gets in his way, and replaces them with corrupt sycophants.
