    It can only really happen when the Republicans see that Trump is such an unbelievable liability that they have to replace him with Pence. It's a testament to their lack of character that this hasn't already happened. Once his approval dips below a certain point they'll probably have to pull the trigger. Pence is an odious cunt, of that there can be little doubt - white christian america, women as a slave class, etc - but even Democrats are saying put him in charge. That gives you an idea of what a disaster Trump is for the US. Every day that goes by, it gets weaker and its strategic enemies get stronger.

    They can keep him if they want, I don't give that much of a fuck either way. Self-inflicted injuries are the most entertaining.

    That's the advantage of having your mind made up ahead of time. When the contrary evidence comes you're already primed to dismiss it.

Don't bother caring, the Russians are your friends. Putin and his lovely brand of kleptocracy are your friends. lol.

  13. The whole 'public sector is terrible at everything' mantra is spewed out constantly by powerful forces that want everybody to think that. Some willing acolytes gobble it up and spew it out everywhere. And yet look at the state of your healthcare system. Yeah, sure, private is always better.

    What is the problem with allowing people to make money? Sure they should be allowed to make money by providing a service people is want to pay for... What i would like to have is rules against: - Bumping people without the passenger getting what they want in compensation.. Let the airline buy back the ticket for what the passenger is willing to sell it for. - Size of seats.. make it mandatory when selling seats that if a person is too wide for a seat (overflowing to the next seat) they should not be allowed on the plane.. And also offering seats of different sizes. - Legroom.. Offer seats with different amount of legroom so long people get seats with enough legroom where they fit without interfering with people sitting next to them..

    And allow for tickets that allow, and present it clearly to the passenger, infringe on these things... If you want a cheapass ticket then feel free to get one..

    Maybe also put a maximum profit per flight in % of what they take in.. maybe 30%?

    This is about Air Traffic Control. None of what you posted is in any way relevant.

  16. There sure are a lot of slashdottirs who share Mr Trump's thoughtful and considered view on climate change skepticism. Maybe it's because they don't like it, as I suspect is the case with orange dickhead.
