BOROWITZ: Stormy Daniels not surprised Trump’s defense was small and didn’t last long

I read that she won her primary. Georgia Trumpsters are probably gnashing their teeth....Oops!....tooth.

I have through on this and I think Cooper was deliberate in his intentions and willing to go out in a bang if needed. I think the scale tilts in favor of the bomb being real but that there is a further assurance in my mind that may yet be confirmed. If the bomb were real he was most vulnerable when the passengers deplaned and Tina went to and fro getting the chutes/meals. To me the tell of authenticity would come form the stews recalling if after coming back form the Lavatory Cooper continued to place his his hand back in the attache case for comfort. Basically while the passengers deplaned and Tina went to and fro was he watching the door then with his hand in the case. Possibly Flo, Alice, Tina may recall seeing him place his hand in there after the request were delivered. In flight he kept the pressure/control on until his demands were met. However once on the ground did he seek security form the bomb by continuing to place his hand in the case? To me if the stews/records could confirm he continued to seek control over his destiny by interacting with the Bomb then in my mind that action of seeking control/security in the bomb tips the scale from a ruse to very much real.

Dude, you sounded like a new skydiver with a problem you were trying to figure out without enough tools. Just like everyone else, only every one of us has different problems. And awesome to get your A. You’ve got a lot more tools to work on problems, but you’ll get new problems, and you still won’t have the tools to solve them all. Just like all of us! Wendy P.

Agreed, to think I joined dz.com in 1999 in my mid twenties.

There will be a memorial gathering of family and friends on July 13, in DeLand. The date will definitely be Saturday, the 13th. Additionally, planning a celebration and skydive honoring John Sherman at the PIA Symposium in March, 2025. It's fitting to honor him at the Symposium, as he was one of the founding members of the Parachute Industry Association. July 13th. 5:30 PM. Come celebrate John Sherman's life and accomplishments with Nancy and the rest of John's family and friends, with food and drink, stories and memories, and a memorial jump load.

I think an ask for a Trump drug test is in order.

Nope, it's not correct. Simple. "The left" does not want to abolish free speech or freedom of religion. Indeed, they are fighting back against republicans who are trying to ban books, courses of study and topics in schools. They are fighting back against people like Trump, who wants to arrest and jail journalists who criticize him. They want to stop conservative cancel culture that seeks to cancel anything or anyone they disagree with, from Colin Kaepernick to The View to CNN to "woke" media. "The left" does not want to abolish gun ownership. But they do want to do a better job keeping guns out of the hands of homicidal maniacs. Again pretty simple.

The combination of nationalism, isolationism, the taint of racism, misuse of religion, showmanship and above all populism all are factors that Trump has combined into his own unprecedented formula for just enough success to gain power through exploiting the flaws in the American federal system. It is hard to compare him to any of the 20th century figures being alluded to here. I feel that he is uniquely American and an entrepreneur and of course narcissist of the first order. Two things stand out to me marking him as very different. His age for one. He is far too old to ever become a dictator like those being spoken of. But more importantly, he does not really have an overarching agenda he wants to accomplish. Other than of course to accumulate money and power. The real danger is not Trump. It is the forces that he may unleash that will follow him into the future. Trump is not disciplined enough or smart enough to really lead. He merely reinforces the worst in his supporters that is already present.
