#53 - Bellringer - you are most welcome. You stuck with it and I was able to see where and how you came up with the perspective you had.

The Alien Sedition Act of 1798 is not applicable to the issue of complying to the order of the court. They are two different issues.

Don't you know?
You cited it.

Why are you bringing up what it was?
Do you hear what you're screaming out about yourself?

That jstor study doesn't say what Scotts thinks it does.
I've read the whole thing.

The conclusion it makes is that black IQ have been rising with respect to previous tested Black IQ, that any difference is due to education, testing, support, and environment. It ruled out completely anything related to ancestry. It also notes that the improvements have been since the 1960's (which I'm sure people can figure out what changed back then...)

So not so good on Scotts part.

Because you lie so much? Is that why?

#56- exactly. This is an all out assault by people that hate the function and existence of our government to destroy it - to cripple it - and to force it to be privatized as much as possible. Those plutocrats/sycophants all over Trump are lined up to step in. To get the 'proceeds' and take over those functions.

They will become the American Oligarch - just like it happened in Russia.

OCA sorta answered #54 - however my understanding is ATC order/effectively change a flight plan in-flight and that pilot is required to comply. They can ask for clarification, but that's it. That's why you, when you filed your flight plan over an OCA you could ignore that ----.

You're driving in your work car and someone calls you

Someone? Anyone can call a pilot? Anyone? No checks, nothing? Do pilots get all kinds of prank calls? This is rather fascinating to me. I want to know!

Let me repeat that, WuMao:

NO CHILDREN were in the study you linked.

You wanna know why?
I bet even you are smart enough to figure it out.
Need a hint?

Aw fcck it. It's because the number of "children" that have had gender affirming surgery is NEGLIGIBLE.

More children attempt to commit suicide AFTER surgery rather than BEFORE.

Let's just destroy that using your own link, shall we?
First, let's start with the most obvious problem:
NO CHILDREN were in the study you linked.

Second: The suicide rate was not compared to transgender that did not have surgery, but rather against those that went to the emergency room for any reason. The study compared those that had gender assignment surgery against those that had a vasectomy, and lumped those with tubal litigation in with those that had gender reassignment surgery. That is just flat out crazy.

Third: The only point this "study" made was that "Individuals who underwent gender-affirming surgery had a 12.12-fold higher suicide attempt risk than those who did not."

Fourth: The study never indicates or compares that suicide rate to transgender that did not have gender affirming surgery.

Get it, WuMao?

A judge has no authority to radio a pilot and tell them to do anything.

The judge isn't and wouldn't do that. Those that ordered the action are responsible, and that includes ordering the pilot to turn around. If the pilot refuses them, that can still land that pilot in jail for disregarding a legal order. Just like violating restricted airspace, operating in an unsafe manner, endangering other's lives, and on and on and on.

Like Danforth said - step back and look at the chain of "command" and what's going on before you go to the pilot. Honestly, the pilot is down the chain on this.

Thanks for clarifying that for me.

It's just a very broad brush to use for almost any past administrations other than Trump's, though. Or do you believe it is common practice to have the level of utter wretchedness, incompetence, unqualified aristocrats (plutocrats) that we have with this current Admin?

I do not.

My understanding is that the pilots as final authority, are responsible for violating the order of the Judge. If they weren't notified of the order, then those that withheld that notification would be responsible and the contempt order would apply to them, and so forth.

The order of a Federal judge is not optional. It is a Federal order and violating it is a violation of Federal authority (contempt), and the violator may be imprisoned. You do NOT FAFO on contempt. Or go ahead and you'll FO.

Fair enough.

Thanks for acknowledging that.

What federal law did these pilots break?

Federal Contempt of Court.

BTW - none of those reporting bothered to cite the law, the verbiage, or link to the law.

The law doesn't state that because if it did Inspira wouldn't say the following:

A statement that Inspira Health sent to Action News seems to reflect recent distinctions and clarification on the part of the hospital's implementation of the law. The statement reads in part, "Inspira Health will request this information from adults. This update in protocol remains compliant with the law."

So some hospital group, Inspira Health, decided to use the same words/form for every patient like morons. Not exactly confidence inspiring when it comes to care!

The general point, though, is correct. If you can't say this is stupid you're part of the problem. It is genuinely stupid to ask those kinds of questions about a newborn, IMHO.

It's also a non-story other than the stupidity of those in charge that implemented this nonsense.

So the goal is to end telephone support, make people schedule appointments with way, way fewer people available, require people to show up in person no matter how far away they live - and do that when they're closing offices all over?

I'd love to hear how this isn't sabotage. How this isn't designed to keep people from what they are entitled to receive.

that's what they do already.

No. America elected a moron that values ass-kissing over competence, qualification, and intelligence.

Also Fishpaw's kidding himself. The people that work for us are universally good and competent people. Does Fishpaw actually think that private industry is better? That people are more qualified? That's hilarious. It just isn't true. Reading those posts is a litany of right-wing demonization and cariacatures made of figments of right-wing imagination. It should embarrass the hell out of ol' Fishpaw that he'd even type such garbage.

Hm. Good point, Snoofy. Let's do some math:
11,000 deported last month.
An estimated 11,000,000 (likely) or 25,000,000 (Earth II)
11,000*12=132,000 deportations/year

11,000,000/132,000=83 years.
25,000,000/132,000=189 years.

This is troubling. The second CRJ incident in what - 6 weeks? 35mph winds don't have to be a problem - it's the cross-wind vector that matters. My first question is why did they abort the landing and do a go-around after the wing was reported to have hit the ground? I'm assuming the wingtip hitting the ground was due to aircraft rotation induced by the cross-wind component to the 35mph winds and not a ridiculous hard landing - but I can't gell from the reporting.

"The flight was operated by Endeavor, the same regional carrier as the Delta plane that crashed while landing in while landing in Toronto in February. The plane in that incident was also a CRJ-900."

I think I'm not taking any Delta Endeavor CRJ flights until they get this sorted. This is looking like a pattern.

Something just stupid enough for Trumpers to semi-grasp the concept.

And they rush here to prove you are right. Dumb doesn't do them justice. They are dumb and self-destructive, but damn! They "feel" they're getting retribution so that's all that matters!

#29 - So a pilot could fly through restricted airspace, refuse to land when ordered, and so many other things because:
91.3 Responsibility and authority of the pilot in command.
(a) The pilot in command of an aircraft is directly responsible for, and is the final authority as to, the operation of that aircraft.

#20 - that POS Marco Rubio reXhitted that "Oopsie... too late" tweet.

Marco's a traitor to our nation.

A whole lot of people need to be thrown in jail for contempt over this.
No fines. No warnings. No stark words.
Arrested and thrown in prison.
Now.
