Doesn’t that kind of gloss over the fact that the Khashoggi murder was pretty damn horrific in the first instance on a dozen difficult to ignore levels? The Saudi crown prince had the guy lured into an embassy on foreign soil (a NATO member no less), tortured him, killed him, chopped him up into little pieces, then…

The thing I love about Splinter is that there doesn’t seem to be any Democratic presidential candidates you don’t instinctively crap all over. Is Bernie still OK?

Which is irresponsibly nuts.

Wait ... they’re sending if off to France now? Does France even have the software to process it? Germany doesn’t.

Woah ... what? That’s absurd on it’s face.

Well, they just grounded these motherfuckers, so I guess it’s up to Boeing now to prove they are safe, eh?

Best article I’ve read on the scandal by far.

Kooteani County here ... I don’t think I have seen a “Blue Lives Matter” bumper sticker once.

This is among the most big-city centrist Democrat things I’ve ever read.

This policy is a mess.

But for a narcissist ... isn’t self-awareness basically all they have?

A friend of mine just raised a very good point.

I dunno. Didn’t around six minutes elapse from when they asked to return to the airport with control issues to when the craft crashed? That is a damn long time for two trained pilots to experience a panic-induced brain fart ... especially over a major issue that would be one of the most recent things introduced to…

I don’t necessarily disagree, but how things should be and how they manifest in the real world don’t always match up.

I can’t decide the extent I agree or disagree with this ... neither option is particularly great.

The thing that gets me here is that after the Lion Air crash, officials pushed out updated pilot procedures alerting of the issue and providing specific response procedures. At least the FAA did. How could anyone pilot one of these things right now without being fully aware of the Lion Air crash and it’s causes?

The first training models didn’t hit pilot’s hands before mid 2017. How many years could anyone *possibly* have an informed opinion?

Fair enough. Thanks for the reply. IMO, the problem isn’t bad analogies, it’s trying to have a debate based on hypotheticals. Your reply there didn’t help much.

I’m betting the bulk of her social media “followers” were acquired exactly the same way she got into college.

That’s my nightmare ticket right there. It would be disheartening to see Harris ride Biden’s coattails from her perch as unaccountable CAAG to a seat of highest power in 24 focus-grouped months.
