Y’all should all come to Texas.

Texas is pretty much there. We’ll see how we fare.

Yep. The proof load is 2.5g + 50%. For approx 3.7...but that the minimum to be demonstrated. In practice, less sophisticated, earlier Boeings did 5+ in emergency conditions without coming apart. There’s some hoohoo you can discuss about how the actual loading rate translates to radius of path, but none of the truthers are close to that level of sophistication in their objections.

The actual current state of secession movements in the US is “nobody has any idea how it could possibly happen.”

This is purest hopium.

Everyone agrees Texas is most likely to, right? And here in Texas, there is no serious discussion of any of the real economic or security issues. Zero.

What we have is one very minor state representative who got beaten up in his last campaign because his challenger got a hold of the court documents from his last divorce which indicated the judge agreed with the ex wife that he is somehow dangerous to the kids...and this surprised absolutely no one who had met him IRL.

Don;t fall for it, pedes. Secession is false hope. We have to find a way to win as a union.

They’re not afraid of anything. They are maintaining the danger narrative.

Looks like no, and that makes me sad. Draining the swamp was the most amazing thing ever promised to me by any politician.

Plot twist: the people communism kills aren’t very interested in communism, either. Particularly toward the end.

And so was Graham. They’re milking the “danger” narrative. Don’t OD on cheap hopium, pede.

Some things need to coordinated...but blacklisting ex Trump employees? That needs no assistance at all.

No argument, but that also militates against his notion that the purge is an important event in the life of these companies.

Any asymmetry like that in an elderly person, first thought is she recently had a small stroke.

Don’t get behind this guy.

Central Texas pedes saw his last campaign and knew the dirt his opponent dig up was true. Pizza.

What a great clip. What a hollow, fake human being.

So, this is a good post. Too bad most discussions only last 2 minutes on here.

What the dumbasses usually get wrong is the means, not the motive. They only criticize what is on the tv screen, and get caught up in questions Of basic physics (which they get wrong).

Re: the towers, they got caught up in whether jet fuel can melt steel beams (it can, almost any fuel can if burned properly, and the trigger is “soften”, not “melt”) and myriad other things they don’t know.

The better target was the FBI and whether the plot was simply allowed to go forward.

And all of the theories are like this. There probably is a tremendous amount US skill-duggery behind a lot of the news, but instead of actually getting at those lies, people on the internet mostly get involved in unwinnable technical arguments, which attract crazier and crazier theories as they continue.

Everyone in those chats is FBI.

The point being that Twitter was going to lose their single most popular “show” when Trump left office, no avoiding that for them, so investors were looking to see how Dorsey handled that. He apparently handled it to some of their satisfaction, but not all. It’s. Bump, not a catastrophe.

I don’t understand why anyone is impressed by Flynn anymore.
