http://www.youngcons.com/while-overseas-trump-hails-populist-poland-declares-west-must-defend-civilization-and-faith/?ref=FacebookPost

Which wasn't quite what Trump said,
So, together, let us all fight like the Poles -- for family, for freedom, for country, and for God.
http://www.cnn.com/2017/07/06/politics/trump-speech-poland-transcript/
Which just makes clearer the intent of the dogwhistle and less plausible the "oh, no, we certainly didn't mean that." (teeheehee)

There was a report about a flight where a flight attendant took a bottle of wine and smashed it over a passenger's head.

I didn't really believe it or figured there was more to it.

I now believe it. There was more to it.

OF COURSE IT WAS A loving FLORIDA MAN

https://twitter.com/seattletimes/status/883495392805085185

quote:

A 23-year-old Florida man on a Thursday flight from Seattle to Beijing tried to open a exit door on the airborne Boeing 767, sparking a wild brawl with flight attendants and passengers who used wine bottles and zip ties to subdue the combative man, according to a federal complaint.

Joseph D. Hudek IV was charged Friday with one count of interference with flight crew members for allegedly assaulting two flight attendants on Delta Air Lines Flight 129. He is expected to remain in federal custody until a detention hearing scheduled for Thursday. Hudek appeared for a hearing Friday in U.S. District Court in Seattle, wearing a beige jail uniform and sporting a scrape or bruise below his right eye.

About an hour into the flight, Hudek briefly went into the lavatory, according to the complaint. He then went back out and asked one of the flight attendants a question in the galley area, the complaint says. Hudek returned to the lavatory for approximately two minutes. After he walked out he lunged toward the emergency exit door, grabbed the handle and tried to open it, the complaint alleges. The flight attendant and a second flight attendant tried to subdue him, but Hudek allegedly shoved them away and moved the emergency release lever halfway up.

One flight attendant later reported that the door could have opened if it was fully disarmed at the altitude they were flying over the northwest end of Vancouver Island, B.C.

Attendants turned to passengers for help as one of them called the cockpit to alert the flight crew of the emergency. The pilot notified the Federal Aviation Administration of the threat, and the flight carrying 210 passengers and 11 crew was diverted back to Seattle-Tacoma International Airport. Meanwhile, Hudek allegedly punched one of the attendants twice in the face, hit a male passenger in the head with a red dessert-wine bottle and punched him several times. A flight attendant grabbed two wine bottles and hit Hudek with both, breaking one over his head.

According to the criminal complaint, Hudek was undeterred by impact of the 1-liter red-wine bottle and asked, “Do you know who I am?”

It’s unclear what Hudek meant by that.

I thought those doors popped out with no hinges, based on the safety cards?

Wasn't air force so correct me if I'm wrong, aren't planes at those altitudes pressurized? Air gets pretty thin up there from what I understand.

I'm almost certain that it has a hinge because not having one seems like a real bad idea, but I don't know enough to say right off the top of my head.

I mean, in any case, the article speficially mentions the plane was at a low altitude, and that it could have opened had the safety system been disabled.

Typically the cabin is pressurized at something like 6000-8000 feet. Above 10000 you definitely want to be pressurized (and heated).

Dead Reckoning
Sep 13, 2011
If their doors work like ours, the opening mechanism is coupled to a pressure plate in the door; when the cabin is pressurized, the internal air pressure acts on the plate, which resists attempts to open the door while the cabin is pressurized. The greater the difference between the cabin and the outside air pressure, the harder it is to open. I never tested it in flight, obviously.

He tied Bourmeche’s shoelaces together, then took the belt, wrapped it around Bourmeche’s neck, strung it under his laces and tightened it so Bourmeche bent at the waist. ‘‘Are you a terrorist?’’ Felix held the end of the belt like a leash.

Not advocating for anyone to give up, and I'm truly glad people are digging this poo poo up. At the very least a generally ineffective Trump presidency mired in controversy and covered in the stink of conspiracy is one of the better possible outcomes now that we're in this dark of a timeline.

....but really at this point it's become, I dunno, basically "president corrupt, so what?" It just feels like, "Oh again? Eh, let me know when the poo poo starts to stick and there's charges filed or something". At this point everyone either accepts how loving lovely he is, or has their head buried so far up Donald's rear end they're truly sucking his dick from the back. It's loving depressing to think, but I really don't see any new revelations swaying anyone that hasn't been already. By now anyone saying wishy-washy, "gee I dunno we should give him a chance and see where the investigation goes before we decide" stuff is just a lying gently caress stick that will not accept any evidence, ever, but they don't want to come out and say it.

I think the reason why nobody really cares is that Trump, for better or for worse, has surrounded himself by so many stupid and incompetent people that the threat has largely been contained.

Hope the poo poo he comes out with is smoking gun video tapes of bags with dollar signs on one side and "Rosneft" on the other with Trump personally putting them in a safe while saying, "Send my thanks to Putin for the bribes he just gave me" because it's all going to rely on Republicans doing anything other than quietly mumbling at their feet about how they're deeply concerned then saying "but her emails!" and loving welp, KildarX just covered the motto.

By 2020, probably. Mueller is a fine grinder with a special remit from the JD, a basically unlimited budget, and the finest investigators of this generation. There is no way that he's going to rush this.
