I made a mistake in my post and I wished to correct it.
Btw,
The comments from you and dahmage were totally unnecessary.
Insert “Ric” picture here.
I hate it when some people act like we are supposed to mind readers.
i don’t mind readers.
typo corrected.

Wow. Just Wow.
Even if that was the guy, none of that had anything to do with how badly the situation was handled. And since when is winning money at poker scandalous? Unless you’re having illicit gay sex and drug trafficking during the game of course. 😉
I agree, even if the guy was corrupt, unless it had something to do with how he got his plane ticket and that was why they were removing him from the plane, it has nothing to do with the situation at hand.
United is going to have to cough up millions in a lawsuit, or just to make this mess go away quickly. I hope Mr. Dao takes them to the cleaners.
Seems the Telegraph and Daily Fail may be paying out too…

oops!
It is incredible that some people think that, someone whose gets angry and uncooperative about being a thrown off a plane ride for which they had a ticket that they bought and paid for, is acting like a spoiled brat.
Coca-Cola Life … kinda tastes like piss.
So re-branded New Coke?
I’d like to b**** about the practice of overbooking for airplanes. It seems that sometimes for whatever reason airlines sell more tickets for a flight than there are seats on the flight. If everyone shows up for the flight, it is overbooked and they bump as many as needed to the another flight. It can lead to what happened to David Dao on the United Airline flight that everyone seems to be talking about about. Why the f*** do airlines overbook‽‽‽‽‽‽ How do they get away with this practice. Whatever the case, I think it is time this process be banned/outlawed. You have X number of seats on the plane, sell only X number of tickets. Simple. Anyone wish to disagree?
Finally Trump tells the truth!
Yeah and I mean we can always use the politics thread for that
Nah, that thread is for bashing Trump. 😉
Silverwook made clear he was only locking it temporarily.
Actually I missed the date so I screwed up, but it’s now hilariously relevant. I’m guessing Hannity is not going to apply the exact same standard this time.
No, he won’t. And if anyone tries to point it out, he’ll ignore it or change the subject. I’m with Jon Stewart on this: Hannity is ruining the country.
Actually it was Ted Koppel.
Good old Ted Koppel. I miss him.

Well, you are not the first to commit that mistake here.
I guess the honeymoon is over.

Glad our arrogant Pres. is enjoying his taxpayer funded golf outing after announcing the US should take military action> >against Syria
Wasn’t this the sort of thing they complained about Obama doing?
edit: oops.
I see.

Republicans killed the Supreme Court filibuster. But maybe they shouldn’t have?
All they have to do is change the rules back before the next election.
Won’t this encourage the Dems to do the same thing when they get control of the Senate?
Not when, but if.
So you don’t think the Dems will ever regain control of the Senate?
In the short term, 2016 was the best opportunity for the Dems to retake the Senate. Have you seen the 2018 Senate map? That’s what I’d call a “Dems lose 5 seats” map. 2020 looks good for the Dems, but not good enough to come back from a deficit that big, so the earliest they need to worry about that is 2022. In the meantime, Republicans almost have enough legislatures to start monkeying with the Constitution directly, and repealing the 17th Amendment has always been a dare-to-dream Conservative longshot wishlist item. Once that’s done, the Dems can win all the votes they want in 2022 (and beyond) and still can’t take the Senate. It will be just like the House today, where all the pundits just assume it doesn’t matter how well the Dems do with the voters, the Republicans will retain control.
I think it unlikely that the 17th Amendment will get repealed. Remember, in order to do so, you have pass another amendment. To do that, it needs to pass no only Congress(where 2/3rds is needed), but also 3/4ths of the state legislatures(which means 38 of the states would have to pass it). Even if it were to pass. It would mean that the state governments themselves would pick the US Senators. Each state could decide to allow the voters to elect them or the state legislature could pick them(is the Dems controlled the majority of said state legislature, they would no doubt pick Dems to be that state’s US Senators). The Dems could still gain control of the Senate.
I’d certainly like to believe that an opposition party could someday take one of the branches of government, or one of the houses of the legislative branch. That’s pretty much the definition of a functional democracy.
The Dems have had control of the Senate before, they will get it again.
Sounds reasonable.
Is he high?

Did they at least turn the sound down? (Then again, maybe it would have been better to turn the sound up and drown the jerk out)

Beristain’s wife voted for President Trump in November and previously said she believed in the Republican’s immigration policies. In February, he ordered officials to be more aggressive in arresting and deporting those living in the U.S. illegally.
“I think our President is going to keep all the good people here,” she said in a March interview with WSBT. “He is not going to tear up families. I don’t think he wants to do that. He just wants to keep us safe."
Well, I guess she was wrong.

Fuck the Republicans.
R.I.P. Mr. Rickles 😦
The way I say thanks to those numbskulls that got my self-reflection thread locked.
You should look the top of that thread. It says that the thread will be re-opened at your request.
