Jennifer Homendy NTSB Chair on CNN. Investigators taking trains, driving to site.

I don’t have a link because I’m watching it right now - but she related the ordeal of some of their own investigators in simply trying to get to the site. She spoke about investigators waiting 3 hours in the same lines everyone else is, and that many of them opted to take the train or drive to get there.

And I’m watching this thinking . . DAMN . . even the NTSB doesn’t seem too very eager to jump on a plane right now


What a sad and horrible tragedy. I’m so pleased to see Homendy is still there. It’s so good to see that Piggy hasn’t been able to fire every single competent human in the government. She is a masterful professional, from what I have seen over the years.

He looks exactly like TSF, and there is ZERO chance Trump would allow his name

to walk around on a kid that wasn’t his. I think anybody who gives that serious thought will ultimately arrive there. They have the same stupid face, it’s just difficult to tell now because the elder is SO twisted and worn.




He often uses very strange language around his children. We know this, but I think this particular dig is deliberate. I think he’s had a little grudge going agains Mel and “her son” every since Barron, for whatever reason, did not serve as a delegate at his father’s nomination as the Republican candidate for president in 24. The announcement came from Melania’s office: Chew on that for a minute. The man was informed by the office of his own wife that his son would not be jumping through his flaming hoops for his reality TV convention. This is his way of “punishing” her or him or both.

Donald Trump’s Barron Remark Sparks Crowd Laughter
JUL 19, 2024 AT 08:42 AM EDT

Donald Trump's comment about son Barron at the Republican National Convention on Wednesday drew laughter from the audience. During his closing speech on Thursday night, the Republican presidential candidate thanked his "entire family" for supporting him during the RNC, which ran from Monday July 15.

"I also wanna thank my entire family for being here. Don, Kimberly, Ivanka and Jared. Eric and Lara. Tiffany and Michael. Barron," Trump said at the Fiserv Forum in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. "We love our Barron.”

The 18-year-old, whose mother is Trump's third wife Melania, was chosen as an RNC delegate for Florida in May. Delegates cast their vote for the Republican presidential candidate on behalf of the state they represent, with Trump officially accepting the nomination on Thursday.
However, the office of Melania Trump said Barron would not be taking part in the proceedings.
"While Barron is honored to have been chosen... he regretfully declines to participate due to prior commitments," a statement released at the time said.

Trump speech at Arlington

Starts with
Thanking Mikey Johnson saying he will go down in history as “a great man.”

Says he has a 92% approval rating! Says it’s better than the 37% approval rating of Biden. How amazing for him. Gee. I’ll bet Chi and Vlad are really proud of him.

Annouces his “PROCLAMATION” that he has renamed Veterans’ Day to VICTORY DAY because RUSSIA and France have “Victory Day” and “we’re the ones who won the war.” More of. his burning jealousy over the easy life and fun times that Vladimir gets to have and he doesn’t.

States we won WWI and WWII because the department was called the “WAR” department, but then we changed it and quit winning because “politically correct” so now it’s the WAR department.

Says he has cut the backlog of VA claims in half. I work with vets every day at work. IF they have cut the backlog I can tell you myself from what I have seen - They are cutting the backlog by making the VA totally and completely unnavigable. It’s easy to reduce your claims if you make them IMPOSSBLE TO FILE in the first place. That’s how you take care of the front end. They are taking care of the back end by simply dissapearing the claims altogether. Since the new administration has taken power, things we previously filed for like oncology consults and denture appointments just simply dissapeared. Poof.

LIES about Joe Biden saying he stopped the Veterans Choice Program but now it’s going again. He’s previously claimed Veterans Choice Program was started by him and repeated that claim ad nauseum, it was passed under President Obama.

Went off on a tangent fantasiizing that he fired 9000 SADISTS, SICK PEOPLE and THEIVES in the VA who hated our veterans - but then Biden hired them back? So apparently he believes he did this in the first term, then evil Biden came along, and then “Trump" fired them again. He says this like there’s some army, a wanton horde of invading civil servants taking these agencies by force. He’s so fucking weird and stupid.

Claims luxury hotels were being rented by Biden to house immigrants from mental institutions and prisons.

Waddles away from the podium. Wanders over and stands next to that puffy, mangey eyeliner salesman. Both of them look miserable and inconvenienced.

He wanted the constitution suspended in his FIRST term.

Now he has the infrastructure falling into place to make it happen. I’m not terrified, but I am increasingly unsettled, HerdingCats. And it does hurt.

Telling people how they should feel is generally received poorly. I predict

you will see that here. Finger-wagging nanny scolding is kind of . . . Karen.


Also. Kirk had no policies. He wasn’t a lawmaker or a politician. He was a bigoted gasbag misogynist white-power MAGA. He felt we should be willing to let some folks die for the 2nd amendment and he got his wish. I feel bad for his kids, but I felt bad for them before he got shot, too.

Pampy giving a surprise Oval Office presser in his hat/bad hair, no tie.

Good god in butter - the wheels are on fire.

Oh Pampy. You can’t hold your arms over your head anymore to style your hair, can you? That’s why we got the dopey CCP-made hat 85% of the time now. You look just as stupid as you think you do, and no tie in the Oval office? You look like a used car guy on a “golf” vacation that’s going to mostly involve being a skeev by the pool and very little hygiene.

"I'm actually the chief law enforcement officer, but I thought it was better this way"

Said by Trump just now on why the FBI raided his ex National Security Advisor. You know this means he wanted to do a ride along and maybe even be there in person to arrest Bolton.

Will they be able to keep him out of the car when they harass and assault the Obamas? Hillary? Beyonce?
