Does anyone understand why the Mexican flags in the LA riots? It seems like the most idiotic move you could make. It gives credibility to Trump’s argument of an invasion and undermines the message of “we are here as Americans and for the American way of life” I’d imagine it would be confronting and possibly even offensive to many Americans seeing a foreign flag being waved as American flags are burnt, regardless of your views on Trump and immigration?

We have!

And that’s what you voted for.

I change regularly. I go with however the evidence persuades me. I'm not married to any particular viewpoint. Why would I be? Why would I care if Cooper jumped at 8:11 or 8:15. It doesn't matter to me. I'm very malleable actually. I just need to see enough evidence to persuade me. As for the time of the jump, it's not evidence that is making me lean a certain way now, it's the lack of evidence. My understanding of Anderson's interviews was that they waited a while after the pressure bump then called to report it. So why isn't this call documented? Why isn't it in Soderlind's notes? Why isn't in Lowenthal's notes? Or the other NWO notes? I would think that would be an important freaking thing to document: the crew telling you "hey I just think he jumped." Yet we DO have them documenting the hell out of the "oscillations" call. Every single notetaker from NWO documented the oscillations call. But nothing at all about a pressure bump call. We have the FBI transcript from the oscillations call and it has a parenthetical inserted that says Rat lost his ear piece when he turned to look at the cabin rate of climb indicator because of an "increase in pressure." How would they know to include that parenthetical unless Rat or NWO told them that's what was occurring when his ear piece popped out? Unlikely they would insert that unless they knew. Case agents wouldn't have just made that up. Additionally, in that transcript Rat appears to be a bit shaken up. It reads as if he just experienced the pressure bump and was taken aback for a second. He's at a loss for words (for once). We've been told that the oscillations were only seen but not felt. Rat wouldn't have been reacting that way if he was just reporting on something they were seeing in the gauges. He seems shocked as if he just felt something. Rat's reaction makes it seem like the pressure bump occurred WHILE he was in the middle of reporting the oscillations. If so, then Cooper jumps at 8:11 or 8:12. The Vortex has dramatically complicated his jump time. I'm guilty of it obviously. But the lack of any reporting about a post 8:11 "second call" is really hard to overlook. Sometimes absence of evidence IS evidence.

It’s arguable that Trump hasn’t hurt me personally. But he has most certainly hurt what I believe and for me that’s worse.
