Did he tell the staffer to make sure he was in the cockpit and that's the best they could do?

That's not what the scene actually looked like

Still some uncertainty...

Driving the news: NBC News said in a statement it would provide live coverage of the president's remarks on NBC News NOW and air "a special report" on NBC afterward.

• ABC said it would air the speech on its 24/7 streaming channel, ABC News Live, and ABC News Radio "with comprehensive, anchored coverage" and "in our regular network newscasts."
• ABC added that it is "prepared to break into network programming to deliver live updates and reporting should significant developments occur."
• CBS and FOX have yet to announce their plans for the speech.

You mean they are being deceptive?

I'm shocked!

Tourism Bad!

Nick Sortor
@nicksortor
One of the BEST new policies under President Trump is a $100 SURCHARGE paid by EACH FOREIGNER entering our National Parks

It made my trip to Zion Nat’l Park this week SO much more enjoyable

US taxpayers are PRIORITIZED now

American citizens pay $35 per carload, and foreigners now pay $35 PLUS $100 per person.

Foreign carload of 4? That’ll be $435. Exactly how it should be. American taxpayers shouldn’t be subsidizing their vacations.

Thank you, @SecretaryBurgum and President Trump!

The surcharge will keep a lot of the riffraff out, and subsidize the cleanup of whatever riffraff that makes it in.

Not to mention it’s funding a lot of the beautification projects in DC!

Not sure we need foreigners who are strapped for cash traversing our country

This isn't good for tourism though- which is the most efficient way of free money

This is part of the reason why they advocate for "evaluating on the margin," looking to maximize short-term gains and maintaining the flexibility to switch focus at the first sign of diminishing returns.

The ideas laid out in the early Effective Altruist literature are actually rather astute and well-considered. It's too bad that the community are killing its chances of being a useful movement.

As usual, people ruin everything.

You just found this out?
People are fallible. All of Us.
Which is why I put little stock in Utopian ideals and schemes. They just don't work.

Wasn't that a MAD Magazine feature?

Nope. Rowan and Martin's Laugh in, a TV show, created that slogan.

Trump's speech tonight will make no difference. No one will be swayed by his claims at this point. Those who are stupid enough to believe the election was stolen will continue to believe him. The rest of us will continue to see him for what he is: a pathological liar and narcissist who can't accept losing.

THIS. I think all but the hard line MAGAs take everything he says with a ton of salt.
And some GOP stratagists think his obssesion with 2020 will hurt the GOP among undecided voters in 2024.

This is totally nuts:

"Trump Media & Technology Group has unveiled a paid-for, licensed data feed that will give banks and trading firms 'the fastest' access to posts from influential Truth Social ‌accounts, such as President Donald Trump’s, whose posts often move global markets.

President Trump’s posts on the platform regularly move markets. High speed access to these could be very valuable to traders and investors."

Truth Social to sell Wall Street firms the ‘fastest’ access to Trump’s posts

Not just nuts (or that it matters much), but it sounds pretty illegal.

“When the President does it, that means that it is not illegal.”

There's just no limit to the corruption, is there?

Is he so ◊◊◊◊◊◊◊ dumb that when he heard that semiconductors use "transistors," he thought they said "transgenders." ?

It's about China now

@berniemoreno
I was just briefed by the White House on what to expect this evening.

I would encourage every American to tune in tonight to the President’s speech. This may be the most important Oval Office address since the Cuban Missile Crisis.

The time for complacency with China is over

Unacceptable, as I must persist but have (as yet) not been able to become a cockroach or a tardigrade or a baby shark. The work continues.

Wonder how long this rant will be?

Wonder how long this rant will be?

Six beers, three shots, and a fattie.

Not for me, of course.

 

[Aridas]

Something seems off to me. My understanding is that Blue Angels (and Thunderbirds) pilots and ground support are so rigidly by the book they don't so much as fart without proper authority, not to mention long hours disciplined practice.

You're suspicious that this stunt was ordered, then?
