I’m fairly certain this was still technically outside of China’s South China Sea “Penis” territorial claim map. Too bad Duerte’s too much of an idiot. Reopening Subic Naval Base would be a great response to their aggression in the region. Might see one in Singapore though.

I fly monthly (always boarding last), and I’d say realistically I don’t have room for my bag 1 out of every 8 flights. And when that happens it gets gate checked.

Ignoring airlines with no assigned seating; Why do people want to spend anymore time on a plane then they have to?

“I’m not sure if there are any Nightstalkers in the NYC AOR.”

“I’m not 100% but it seems like the only plausible explanation for a CSAR/SAR mission flight over NYC”

Why is that?

What?

I don’t know about POTUS related. They have very specific pilots and birds for those missions. Although maybe they can’t assign those to him until after he’s sworn in.

“the effective tax rate FOR SOME firms is irrelevant”

You should probably familiarize yourself with the details of Trump’s tax-plan.

That’s irrelevant (along with your statement about LMT’s stock). Familiarize yourself with “effective tax rate”.

That’s the repatriation tax rate, not what corporations themselves are paying annually. LMT’s effective tax rate is around 20%. It also doesn’t mean a better bottom line or higher stock prices.

Which tax rate is this?

I totally misinterpreted that. I was picturing someone sticking a couple fingers down their throat to introduce a few bullies to a partially digested egg salad sandwich. But honestly who’d know the difference? It’s egg salad after all.

Reminds me of that “Would you rather” that Fallon did with Springsteen:

“The capricious assignment of solitary confinement”

It’s bad if your retirement portfolio includes the ticker LMT.WD.

“I have a real problem with her serving 35 years in military prison, given the completely inhumane treatment she’s endured so far.”

All of your statement is incorrect. Patraeus didn’t intentionally leak, and to the best of my knowledge, none of his information went public. He also plead guilty and received 2 years of probation along with a $100k fine.

Consumer confidence hit’s a 12-year high and this dunce blames the election for his company’s woes. lol
