But Virgin knows how to treat its passengers well.

Yes! This works! It contacts you every day with another reminder. You don’t need to leave a long message, just, “Vote against the AHCA, plesae - we need health care.” Got more issues? Send another one tomorrow.

“...using high powered rifles...” Has the NRA then so totally won that we no longer consider that some of these killings would not have occurred but for the easy availability of guns, including high powered rifles? (Yes, I know, Chicago has laws, and the guns come from just out of state, where there are no…

Oh, that is just so heartbreaking. I’ve at least had good warning with my dogs, I can only imagine the shock and pain you’ve been going through.

Lauren, I asssume you meant that 45,00o Americans died annually from lack of insurance (it gets really sticky to do broader calculations...)

But the Republican voters like the ACA! It’s just that by putting the label “Obama” on the bill, their voters were suckered into thinking they didn’t like the law.

None whatsoever.

Or they are both gone because Pence is implicated in the Russian mess (let’s not forget about that!) and Ryan becomes President.

Especially when he keeps his daughter or son in law close to hand - or they stay close to hand. I really believe that they are there to deflect what might be worse displays of him being disconnected from reality.

For you and Rhinocat - go to your local dispensary, and tell them what you are looking for. While some/most weed is potent af, there are many strains with specific effects, as in, “very little stoned, mostly stress relieving”. And/or, try just one hit?

Plus he’s talking about renewing Iran sanctions, even though they are compliant with the nuclear weapons treaty. Cut off their oil sales, and Exxon/Russia make even more money. No conflicts there, guys!

A lot of the money for this election, and for congressional elections, comes through the Daily Kos website. A good read.

Any bets on where Silicon Valley will relocate? Canada, perhaps?

There’s a flock that is generations old in San Francisco.

Hey, in the midst of all the crap we are going through, welcome!

Australia or New Zealand. Lovely countries, and the Southern Hemisphere shouldn’t get much, if any, of the fall out. (I’m a cold war baby, and spent much of my life reflecting on this subject.)

Not an oversold flight. A flight they decided, after boarding, they wanted to use to shuttle crew. Different rules apply. The ground crew, or their supervisors, f’ed up. They should have worked it out before boarding.

I fly out of a main United hub (SFO) and have avoided them for years now. Bad service, deliberate lack of amenities. Go Virgin!

I’ve been thinking exactly along those lines, but did come to consider the fact that, with all the airline cut backs and mergers, there might not have been another airline taking that route at a time that worked for their needs (checking it out, it looks like American does have some flights - but would they bump a…

And thus far no one has mentioned that the victim “randomly selected” and then roughed up happens to be of a tannish complexion... Coincidence? I think not.
