Acting White House chief of staff Mick Mulvaney cautioned against focusing too heavily on politics “too soon” after a gunman on Friday killed 12 people at a city government building in Virginia Beach, Politico reports.Said Mulvaney: “We have too many of these shootings, and every time the first thing we talk about is politics.”
He added: “The mourning period hasn’t even stopped yet, let alone the healing process. So, let’s not get too deep into politics too soon. Let’s think about the families
He said it. Too many shootings so it’s always too soon
Think Mick realizes how big of an assholic comment that is?

But the more she comes out against it, while still calling for vigorous investigations, the more “reluctantly” she can come to the conclusion that, although she didn’t want it, the facts on the ground leave her no choice. And she’ll get a lot of media cred for having opposed it for so long. This will be much more powerful and persuasive than if she had just been in the “impeach the motherfucker” camp the whole time

re: #72 Decatur Deb
My first flight was in an Ozark Airlines DC-3. Was surprised to learn they had doped linen control surfaces.
As I mentioned this morning, the DC-3 was my favorite aircraft before the Trump blimp. It is also the largest aircraft that I am rated to fly. It is fantastic. Today they are known mostly for their phenomenal longevity, but it was one of the most advanced aircraft in the world when it first appeared in 1936, a stunning revelation. It brought together all the advances that had been made in the previous few years, retractable gear, flaps, all metal structure, variable pitch props, etc. and matched them to an airframe that was ideally sized for the requirements of the time. It is a very good handling aircraft, with smooth and well balanced controls and a low wing loading with almost perfect stall characteristics. One drawback is that the wingspan is enormous compared to a modern plane of similar capacity, 90 feet. This makes it practically impossible to taxi solo, since you can’t see the right wing tip from the pilot’s seat. Otherwise, it would be easy to fly solo and this has been done many times, presumably with a big open space for taxiing. In fact, almost everything that can be done with an airplane has been done with a DC-3, including flights with a hundred passengers vs. the normal 21 and at 60% above rated gross weight. They have also taken off from an aircraft carrier, carried out many kinds of attack mission, shot down enemy planes and operated from floats. It was the first aircraft to land at the South Pole and highly modified DC-3s continue to do so right to the present day.

re: #72 Decatur Deb
My first flight was in an Ozark Airlines DC-3. Was surprised to learn they had doped linen control surfaces.
My first flight in a DC-3 was in a Forest Service owned ship. It was my return ride from a forest fire I had been on. The plane was set up as a smoker-jumper ship with long, aluminum benches on each side. Each bench had wash basin size dimples where you parked your butt during the flight. I did have several concerns. First, the co-pilot poured about 5 gallons of oil into the starboard engine. That engine had a black streak running out the wing from the engine. Second, when the double cargo doors were closed they didn’t quite fit tight so the pilot used a screwdriver to latch the door closed. Still left a 4 inch wide opening at the bottom of the door.
This plane was equipped with an “in-flight bathroom”, but only for #1. It was a small compartment in the tail section with a door. Behind the door was a large funnel attached to a garden hose leading to the outside. The “restroom” was so cramped you had to bend over 90 degrees to stand at the facility. Of course, while you were trying to go, the tail section was bouncing all over the sky while we were passing over the Cascade Mountains. It was so bad, that most users were unable to flush themselves.
When we finally landed it was a mad rush to the ground facilities.
Did I mentioned the plane was older then me?
I also got to ride in a DC-4, but that’s another story.
I wish Joe Hill would write a sequel to The Fireman because I’m dying to know what happens when they get to Ireland.

re: #83 Shiplord Kirel, Friend of Moose and Squirrel
As I mentioned this morning, the DC-3 was my favorite aircraft before the Trump blimp. It is also the largest aircraft that I am rated to fly. It is fantastic. Today they are known mostly for their phenomenal longevity, but it was one of the most advanced aircraft in the world when it first appeared in 1936, a stunning revelation. It brought together all the advances that had been made in the previous few years, retractable gear, flaps, all metal structure, variable pitch props, etc. and matched them to an airframe that was ideally sized for the requirements of the time. It is a very good handling aircraft, with smooth and well balanced controls and a low wing loading with almost perfect stall characteristics. One drawback is that the wingspan is enormous compared to a modern plane of similar capacity, 90 feet. This makes it practically impossible to taxi solo, since you can’t see the right wing tip from the pilot’s seat. Otherwise, it would be easy to fly solo and this has been done many times, presumably with a big open space for taxiing. In fact, almost everything that can be done with an airplane has been done with a DC-3, including flights with a hundred passengers vs. the normal 21 and at 60% above rated gross weight. They have also taken off from an aircraft carrier, carried out many kinds of attack mission, shot down enemy planes and operated from floats. It was the first aircraft to land at the South Pole and highly modified DC-3s continue to do so right to the present day.
I mentioned a while back that I traveled in one on a side trip to Tikal. And that the flight could almost have been the whole adventure, never mind the site. (Almost.)

Story exploding in the southern part of Sweden.
A family has kept five children isolated from the world. They have severe gaps in their knowledge, and one of the kids can’t even peel a banana or open a plastic bag according to social services in the municipality. The kids have been removed from the parents by court order.
My spidey sense tells me this may be a family that has been in hot weather earlier regarding home schooling, and have a history with various conflicts with authorities.
Home schooling by the parents is rare if unheard of in Sweden, though in certain cases municipalities have provided families with teachers if a child has not been able to attend a outside school.

I got taught how to survive after ducking and covering… In school…
McLean Bible Church is pastored by David Platt, who is a bigwig in the Southern Baptist Convention. He was elected president of the SBC’s International Mission Board in 2014. (That will be important in a moment.) While he was working this arguably full-time job, he became the interim pastor-teacher at McLean in 2017. Supposedly he’s going to give up the IMB presidency soon so he can concentrate on his church.
Now for the reason why this is important. The Houston Chronicle dropped another bomb in its series on the Southern Baptist Convention’s failure to deal with its sexual predators. This story, published on Friday, talks about missionaries and coverups at the IMB, which Platt has led for the last five years. And he’s done NOTHING about the predators. Nothing.
Why yes, I think David Platt is disgusting, but he was disgusting before this article came out. I am not surprised that he has done nothing about child sexual abuse in the IMB.

I was out at the church where the leadership considers women getting abortions to have committed premeditated murder, and thus they should be executed by the state for their crime. It’s so very, very frustrating. One woman said she wouldn’t get an abortion if the fetus she’s carrying was going to kill her. I should have told her that her four living children would like to have a living mother, but I’m not that rude. Yet. I am getting pretty annoyed with these people, however. I did tell a pregnant woman (who is on staff there) that Apologia was unsafe for women.
I am seriously not taking any shit from these people anymore. They’ve brought on James White, an apologist with a fake doctorate, as a pastor-elder. The guy blocked me on Twitter years ago, claiming I was a “totalitarian.”

BIG NEWS! As I promised two weeks ago, the first shipment of LNG has just left the Cameron LNG Export Facility in Louisiana. Not only have thousands of JOBS been created in USA, we’re shipping freedom and opportunity abroad!

That’s not what the slogan says.

I guess this Trumporrhoid does not think forcing a 12-year-old to give birth to her uncle rapist’s baby is extreme.

I’ll give DF some credit; I think, deep down, he knew his GOP political positions were complete shit, but he just couldn’t (and, apparently, still can’t) ever bring himself to go against his conservative GOP parents (especially his dad) and Team GOP.
If anything, I’d classify him as a coward who’s chosen, at best, to “go along to get along”, especially IRT his folks’ politics.
