More like wrong for thinking it was only 1 party.

Who wants to get paaaaaaaid for executing their constitutionally protected right?

Maybe executing isn't the right word...

It's the least relevant bit. He could fly an identical Cessna 551 as a single pilot.

They almost made it. Too little engine power, too much fuel, dying electricity, failing hydraulics, but still made the lip of the runway.

What happened to them is most likely what happened to other 550 Citations. There's an alternator issue failure caused by faulty components or loose ground terminals. You get limited battery power after that. The crew gets lost in trying to diagnose the electrical problem and reset the system. Navigation fails, crew communication breaks down, lighting goes out, and your life is now entirely based on how well this pilot can glide and where you end up. If it's not perfect you're all about to die in a fire.

They had an airspeed data failure.

The Two Pilot Requirement is very misleading. It's commonly flown as a single pilot aircraft. The only difference between a 550 Citation II and 551 Citation II/SP is the FAA Certification category. Same airframe, wings, engines, and flight controls. Part 25 (transport category) requires 2 pilots. They lowered the Max Takeoff Weight on paper, called the 551, and certified it under Part 23 (normal category).

Ahh that's the reason for the distraction. The morning's news:

Elon Musk asks Epstein to go to the Wildest Party on his island.

The shells are moving so fast they're going to melt.

Elon Musk's space company negotiates with Elon Musk's AI company for merger of Elon Musk companies, after Elon Musk's AI company already bought Elon Musk's social media company that collapsed in value.

It isn't visible without NODs.

It's a surplus SOPMOD kit. AN/PEQ-2 Infrared Target Pointer/Aiming Light. The beam isn't visible with NODs.

Nobody there has NODs on...

You think posting on this forum holds Republicans accountable.

I assure you it does nothing. There's like 5 that actually read anything here, allegedly, and bots.

Went right over your head I know.

You don't even know Nunn vs Georgia. If you have to Google it...

But you won't.

I salute you Snoofy, out there in the streets, shielding the immigrants with your own body. Taking breaks from it only to post here.

If you need affirmations from me, we're super ------.

Imagine if some schlub jumped off his couch, joined ICE for the money, nepo'd his family members in, then triggered gunfights in the streets, and people referenced it like it was a good thing.

That would be a wild reality to live in.

I've barely looked up from a COSC dissertation for 2 months.

Wild times when people start referencing comically corrupt implementations of gun control that were romanticized by Hollywood like it's a good thing.

Lets get super cynical about what Tombstone (the movie) glorified. It's about a semi-retired lawman who moves to a boomtown for money, immediately appoints his brothers as armed government agents with zero hiring process, then escalates a minor regulatory dispute into a lethal confrontation with a loosely affiliated local gang, none of whom he can actually tie to serious crimes in a court of law.

That IS our historic tradition of firearm regulation.

If that's the tradition, we're ------. When you research the history of it the enforcement was highly selective and political. Tons of primary sources detail the corruption.

What would Charlie Kirk do?

Blame the victim and get paid on that clickbait.

It's a 2,600 mile border.

China seeks a global hegemony. If the US were to pull out of NATO (which would be a colossal mistake) China might feel emboldened to seize territory.

Realize the irony here.

The place they can seize value territory the easiest is Russia.

Wait! What?
Pres Trump thinks that wet magnets don't work?

Trump was complaining about EMALS. Steam is a reliable launch system. EMALS had a lot of teething issues. His brain locked onto obsolete teething issues and went rambling/riffing about something he heard on the news years ago. Snoofy does this when he hears Patriot system.

Wild to watch white people get treated like they're black.
