TRUMP GROUNDS BOEING AIR 737 MAX 8 AND MAX 9 IMMEDIATELY

Hmmmm - right there on CNN.com

- Thought he couldn't do that.

"Immediately"   

Inigo Montoya time, again! 

[josh]

More like he cares.

Yeah!

That's why he did it so swiftly and why his administration continues to try to keep the kids from their parents.

Because he cares so much.

Fool.

[josh]

Jared Kushner's dad got his son, who was a mediocre student, into Harvard with a $2.5 million donation to the school in 1998.

Shocking!
Just Shocking!

Not shocking at all.  Quite common, in fact.  Which was the point.

Funny how conservatives are never bothered by the wealthy getting advantages over the rest of us (see above, corporate welfare, lower tax rates, etc)  but if someone who has almost nothing gets an opportunity they wouldn’t otherwise get?  Whoo boy.  Whole movements are started within Conservatism to prevent that from happening.

It's the policy of my first boss [bank manager] in the workplace, that he advised me to have...
"Look after yourself first in this world, son...because nobody else will".

Yes, so you have told us, roughly a dozen times now.

That's part of why government exists - because there are so many assholes like you.

Like every voter at election time doesn't vote for the policies that favour them and theirs most.  lol

Many voters understand that what favors them is what favors the world.

You have a short-sighted, narrow-minded view of what favors you.

I vote in favor of higher taxes because they serve my society better. I support measures that reduce pollution everywhere even though the laws have little or no positive impact where I live.

"every voters" is how people like you justify your selfishness. Since you[/b[ are selfish, you assume that everybody else must be selfish.

[josh]

Your role model, the President, has tweeted his fury at the California Governor's decision.

The only perfect person who's ever walked on earth was the man with holes in his hands and feet.

Hardly perfect, then.

Indeed.
He's not perfect...no one is.
In my eyes he's still misguided on some issues.
I'm still waiting for a definitive statement from him on ANZUS Alliance.

Missing the point.

You must be striving to replace DimBulbWard as our leading poster child for Draxx Disorder.

TRUMP GROUNDS BOEING AIR 737 MAX 8 AND MAX 9 IMMEDIATELY

Hmmmm - right there on CNN.com

- Thought he couldn't do that.

He didn't.

Keep up. The FAA grounded them. Trump announced it.

[REDSTATEWARD]

 In a statement, Boeing said it “continues to have full confidence in the safety of the 737 MAX.” The company added that it had decided “out of an abundance of caution and in order to reassure the flying public of the aircraft’s safety — to recommend to the FAA the temporary suspension of operations of the entire global fleet of 371 737 MAX aircraft.”  - AP News

That paragraph gets funnier after you read Bo's posted Salon takedown.  This is the ugly underbelly of capitalism showing.

LOL
Boeing and Trump do exactly what you called for and you still whine.
Conspiracy theories 'R you.

So you didn't read Bo's Salon link.  So why are you talking? 

It’s a forum.

You want to discuss the story of Boeing's fast-tracking the Max 8, read the article.

The plane was not fast tracked. Unless Obama was paid off.

As for the whine, that's your hearing aid.  I was laughing.

Pretty sick sense of humor.

[kiidcarter8]

Tell CNN - and the others using the wording "Trump grounds planes".

[josh]

Tell CNN - and the others using the wording "Trump grounds planes".

You tell them. You're the one quoting a headline.

From the CNN story that goes with the headline.

Facing mounting pressure, President Donald Trump said Wednesday his administration was ordering Boeing 737 Max jets grounded until more information is gathered about the crash of an Ethiopian aircraft.

It was a turnabout from the administration's earlier position, which deemed the planes safe to fly even as dozens of other nations banned them after they were involved in two fatal disasters.
Trump said the decision to ground the Max 8 and Max 9 was made in light of new information about last week's crash, which killed 157 people. The Federal Aviation Administration said new evidence had been collected at the sight of the crash on Wednesday, and that information -- along with new satellite data -- led to the grounding decision.

They also did not ground them "immediately," allowing all flights in the air to continue to their scheduled destinations, rather than landing at the closest strip.

You can complain about that, too, while you are at it, Kiiid. Have a great time.

While Manafort's legal team -- and people such as President Donald Trump -- say the case proves there was no collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia, Judge Berman Jackson says that is "simply a non sequitur."

And despite Manafort's apologies to the courtroom in Washington, his lawyers' arguments about the absence of any charges directly linked to collusion were "just one more thing that's inconsistent with the notion of any genuine acceptance of responsibility," Berman Jackson said.

10 more years. With the NY State case to follow.

[kiidcarter8]

Yes.  Planes were grounded immediately (thanks, CNN) upon landing.

FAA director of course "made the decision" after consultation with the White House, including Secretary Chao and ................Mr Trump.

Right. Only 81 more months to serve, not 120 more. Sentenced to an extra 43 months. So far.

I don't expect Trump to pardon him.

[facilitatorn]

He’s not good at his job, so he’d be a perfect fit in trump world.

It’s a good thing Red can’t read. This would make him very sad.

Nah.

He would just lie, deny, and/or obfuscate.

No sadness required when you are snorkling in the biggest river in Egypt.
