The "obelisk" looked errantly like one of the stands that used to hold up those "futuristic" AT&T phones with the dot matrix screens that you'd see at larger airports back in the 80s and early 90s. Top marks go to clickbait headlines that started with "mystery metal" to imply they were something other than garden variety stainless steel, too.

The new VC-25Bs will lack in-flight refueling capability. They've never actually refuelled with the president aboard, but it still seems like a bad idea. That being said, the E-4s have refueling capability but they're...kinda short on creature comforts. Like, "no shower" short.

Reminder that the only reason the VC-25s got fast tracked in the first place is because Trump was embarrassed that his 747 was shorter than the Qatari and Kuwaiti 7478i VIPs he saw before the now notorious ORB meeting. Before that he was all "spendy Obama and his new planes!  "

Cythereal posted:Deutsche Bank is also after them, probably due to the PR. Anyone who takes down the Trumps, or does significant damage to them, is going to be famous at least for a little while. Have to imagine that's a part of it. Douchey Bank relies heavily on being the The Bank of Choice for Evil Motherfuckers so I don't have a lot of faith in their "investigation" being any more than lip service for fear of scaring their clientele.

What I've never understood is how the nuns get away with everything they've done. The sexual abuse is abhorrent enough, but nuns are known for some truly sadistic poo poo. Magdalene nuns abused and tortured young pregnant girls out of spite, jealousy, and because the Bible told them it was okay. And since it seems in vogue: lapsed Catholic who stopped caring after Confirmation.

Hollywood made smoking cool from the 30s to the 90s, making them complicit in the deaths of hundreds of thousands if not millions of people.

Yeah, the SCOTUS decision to not even HEAR the case has me just as  as if they had. Donny is the type who was probably pretty sure "his people" were going to back him up, which further proves just how bad his advising is - once SCOTUS Justices are seated the only thing they care about is their ~legacy~, and no one wants to die on Orange Hill.

Fallom posted:Having top of the line healthcare still means $6k+ in deductibles and out of pocket expenses before you max out. I'm on a grandfathered pre-ACA PPO individual plan with a $300 deductible and I pay an obscene amount per month. The only plan I've seen come close to mine is the platinum plan through Kaiser, which for the non-US people, is an HMO. Oh, and to even find out about the best plans, you basically have to agree to let the health insurance companies badger you incessantly during Open Season. Non-stop phone calls and texts until you finally tell them to leave you the gently caress alone, and even then it won't stop until Open Season ends.

2016 Legacy owner here. Haven't had anything go wrong with the accursed CVT *yet*, but fished for the extended warranty simply because I'd never owned one before and had ~heard stories~. My main issue is that the car seems to chew up its brake rotors every ~20k miles, and I'm not a brake rider at all.

Owning the Russians by closing off incredibly valuable patches of sovereign land upon which intelligence gathering can be conducted and organized. "That bully keeps punching me in the arm, so I'll show him by cutting both of them off!"  I say we start playing by Russian rules. Bomb their "Internet Research Building" and then call Putin with condolences for the "gas leak." Mob rules goes both loving ways.

Leavemywife posted:Why are these people so obsessed with a loving loser who doesn't give a poo poo about them? Trump makes assholes feel better about themselves. The lovely opinionated uncle at Thanksgiving who waits the entire year to spew his "now I'm not a racist, BUT" bile. Karens. Small business owners who revile their employees because they have to pay them what the government requires them to. He's what they aspire to be - a piece of poo poo that always seems to fall upward despite all the "haters," and even though everyone hopes/wishes he'd just shut the gently caress up, he never does, and everyone HAS to listen to him, whether they like it or not. And at the farthest fringe of the spectrum of Trump supporters are the sort who see in him their path to relevance. The sort who'd happily be tower guards in "relocation" camps, or ICE deputies. His fascist leanings offer them a societal stepping stool the same way Hitler did to guys like Eichmann and Himmler. As for the yes-men (and women) catering to Trump's Twitter delusions...why wouldn't they? They can't *all* get jobs with FNC, Newsmax, and OANN when this is all over.
