Welcome to America

I agree with all this. Trump is the first 100% television salesman to ever enter politics. He is bringing a lifetime of television manipulation/ propaganda that was perfected by Nazi Germany and bringing into the Internet age. It’s being directed at people that live in a television world. It’s a complete media construct, completely devoid of reality.

The Nazi propagandists proved that if you keep telling a lie, over and over again, people will start to believe it. Even if the accusations are factually ridiculous, people will believe the emotional content of your fabrications.

President Lying Douchebag over the weekend claimed he actually said “Tim Cook Apple” when referring to the Apple CEO but the microphone didn’t pick it up. Yea I know. Now he claims he said Tim Apple to save time as if a two syllable name is quicker to pronounce than a single syllable name. Can this Buffon be any more embarrassing? Of course he can.

This is how you question an ahole liar:

Ethiopian Airlines is refusing the US request to analyze the Boeing cockpit recorders. They were first going to Germany but have now been delivered to France for analysis.

The general feeling I get from the reporting I've heard so far, is that Boeing was negligent in providing an adequate instruction manual to foreign purchasers of this airplane. The American pilots apparently knew of the "computer glitches" and how to quickly switch off the computer-driven controls, and apparently the foreign pilots did not know how to do that quickly enough. Can you say "the Mother of all lawsuits"?

I thought I might take this time to remind people that the FAA and the NTSB are both examples of socialism. (As is the interstate highway system, Social Security and Medicare). So, who would you prefer to make the rules about airplane safety inspections and traffic control, a profit driven corporation that has a duty to maximize their shareholders' dividends or a team of dedicated government employees that are not governed by profit?

And their existence, direction and budgets are determined and controlled by people who are in the pockets of lobbyists. If it were only so pure.
