Even if they knew the policy, I assume the parent and gate attendant differed in their opinions about what constitutes form fitting pants, especially in kids/teens, which is fine. So it really comes down to how those kids were treated during the enforcement of the policy. I haven’t seen many details about that, just…

Another poster said they bought their teenage son a suit jacket from an airport store to board an AA(?) flight, so UA isn’t the only airline enforcing a dress code for pass holders.

Nice! What did Obama say to get that response? Also, why is Boehner so thirsty? Biden has 1 glass of water but he has like 3.

But the shoes and liquids thing applies universally. As a somewhat frequent flyer I’m genuinely trying to understand why security professionals think those specific airports are higher risk when, for instance, the most infamous plane-related terrorism in our country originated from Boston, Newark, and DC. Not to…

Do those Middle Eastern airports have less stringent security screenings than European ones? Why does it make sense to target them rather than Brussels, Paris, or London for example.

Was she sitting like that because she had been standing on the couch taking an overhead picture with her phone? Or maybe her feet were in the photog’s shot and instead of moving to another spot she just pulled them up? I’m just trying to think of a reasonable scenario to explain this.

According to a recent Forbes profile there are 2 PWC partners responsible for overseeing the ballot counts. They have the entire winner list memorized. For security reasons, it’s not written down aside from the 2 identical sets of envelopes. They’re stationed on opposite sides of the stage and one of them hands the…

Matt Damon was at his seat wolf-whistling during the audience shots. It’s possible he could have gotten back after leaving the stage but unlikely. Probably more a case of white guys in tuxes looking alike.

I think she looked good in the dress, but the dress itself didn’t necessarily look good. It’s pretty obvious that it’s a thin material (jersey?). I wouldn’t be surprised if that’s part of the reason the company failed...people bought the dress because Kate looked nice wearing it only to be disappointed when they tried…

I’m guessing anyone decent wouldn’t want to touch this administration with a 10-foot pole.

Asking for real here. Would it be appropriation or racism if they’d dressed up Liu Wen as a geisha?

Hospital workers in other countries do strike, e.g. NHS junior doctors 2016, and I personally think it can be morally justified in some circumstances. But it requires unionization, high level organizational support, and legal protections that we don’t have here in the US.

Can a lawyer clarify this: “However, the reversal reportedly does not apply to those who physically had their visas revoked at airports.” What does it mean and how many people fall into this group?

Therein lies the problem. These guys are pushing back because of “process” and their exclusion from it. They don’t have a problem with those policies. If the WH starts to treat them with the respect they feel is warranted, they’ll fall right back in line.

Wait, really? The district of Newt Gingrich, where Price won over 60% of the votes, almost went for Clinton? Source? I need a glimmer of hope here. We’re talking the predominantly white and affluent cities of Roswell, Alpharetta, Sandy Springs, Dunwoody, Johns Creek, etc. I can see Chamblee and Doraville leaning left,…

Forget airtime. I hope she goes to work for one of the states suing the federal government. California managed to retain Eric Holder. Maybe Washington State or Massachusetts can get Yates.

The same way that 53% of white women who voted live with themselves.

Tet festivities this weekend are full of former “boat people” and HO refugees cheering on the ban because “our people are nice” and they’re brown and terrorists. Not one fucking person was troubled.

Synthetic surfactant, which has allowed 23-24 week fetuses to be viable - porcine and bovine.

The Patriarchal Commission got its name honestly.
