United Airlines temporarily grounded all of its mainline flights Wednesday evening due to a technical issue, the airline said. Mainline flights are operated directly by United, using its own aircraft and crew. These typically include Boeing 737, 757, 767, 777, and 787 jets, as well as Airbus A319 and A320 models. "Due to a technology issue, we are holding United mainline flights at their departure airports," a spokesperson told FOX Business. "We expect additional flight delays this evening as we work through this issue. Safety is our top priority, and we'll work with our customers to get them to their destinations."

Donald Trump and his people aren't interested in competence. They are interested in the appearance of competence. They want to be treated as geniuses without putting in the work. When reality rises its ugly head to they create some fiction to blame.

Trump's administration will be, and has been, a series of disasters. Of which the Epstein pigsty is the worst for Trump because it is so damned believable given his character and history. It'd also worse for Trump because it involves his corrupt rear end directly and isn't something like a lot a dead school girls in a flood whom he never cared for when they were still alive.

So, while we're in prediction mode, Trump will oversee:

1) Another (another) ruinous climate disaster

2) A military defeat

3) Something very bad and impoverishing related to the economy (in progress)

4) More than one gruesome airline crash.

How much $$ are you willing to bet on that, point by point?
