Heh, I wasn’t actually cooking at the time. Just trying to get the slide off so I could clean it (doing Spring kitchen cleaning). It stuck. Then, it was suddenly unstuck. So, I didn’t even get anything to eat at the end of it. Worst part? I’m on blood thinners so I had to keep my thumb elevated with pressure on it for uncomfortably too long. Ugh. ---

If I’d wanted to move on to the topic of _'how does what we know (not merely assume) fit various theories,_’ then I would have availed myself of that particular thread. What we actually know **doesn’t** support claims Trump has made, which is certainly relevant to the topic of how the disgraced, convicted felon, former President Trump pisses me off. Hence my post. ---

[You really didn’t think the melon felon could last a day without lying, did you?](https://www.yahoo.com/news/trump-said-went-down-helicopter-024733517.html) (The link goes to Yahoo.) > Former President [Donald Trump](https://www.cnn.com/politics/president-donald-trump-45?cid=external-feeds_iluminar_yahoo) recounted a story to reporters on Thursday about being involved in a helicopter emergency landing with former San Francisco Mayor [Willie Brown](https://search.yahoo.com/search?p=Willie%20Brown%20(politician)). > > Asked by a reporter about Vice President Kamala [Harris’ previous relationship with Brown](https://www.cnn.com/2024/07/24/media/right-wing-media-kamala-harris-dei-race-attacks/index.html?cid=external-feeds_iluminar_yahoo) and whether it helped her career trajectory, Trump said he knew Brown “very well” and told a story about the alleged helicopter incident. > > “I know Willie Brown very well. In fact, I went down in a helicopter with him. We thought maybe this is the end. We were in a helicopter going to a certain location together, and there was an emergency landing,” Trump told reporters gathered at his Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida for [his first news conference](https://www.cnn.com/2024/08/08/politics/trump-news-conference-attacks-harris-walz/index.html?cid=external-feeds_iluminar_yahoo) since the Democratic ticket was announced. > > “This was not a pleasant landing, and Willie was, he was a little concerned. So I know him, I know him pretty well. I mean, I haven’t seen him in years,” Trump continued. > > Brown, however, rejected Trump’s account as “obviously wrong” during a phone call later Thursday with CNN, saying: “I’ve never been in a helicopter with him in my life.” Read the rest of it. You’ll love his flack’s response. ---

You left out the best part; > [@](#): > > [The New York Times](https://www.nytimes.com/2024/08/08/us/politics/trump-helicopter-willie-brown.html) reported Thursday that the former president apparently confused Willie Brown with former California Gov. Jerry Brown, with whom he toured wildfire damage by helicopter in [November 2018](https://www.cnn.com/politics/live-news/trump-california-wildfires#h_cffd05df031918610dddb2e83b3eb9b9?cid=external-feeds_iluminar_yahoo). > > A spokesperson for Jerry Brown told the Times that “there was no emergency landing and no discussion of Kamala Harris.” > > California Gov. Gavin Newsom, who also toured the wildfires in 2018 as governor-elect, said of Trump’s account, “I call complete B.S.,” according to the Times. > > “I was on a helicopter with Jerry Brown and Trump, and it didn’t go down,” Newsom told the Times, saying that Trump repeatedly brought up the possibility of crashing. In short, Dementia Donny apparently confused Willie Brown with Jerry Brown, made up a story about the helicopter crashing because he was scared shitless by the very experience of riding in a helicopter, and topped it with some nonsense about how the wrong Brown decided to spend his final moments dishing dirt on a woman he’d dated 25 years earlier for no reason. ---

[From the Terms of Service](https://boards.straightdope.com/tos): **Tired topics.** The following subjects have been beaten to death on this board and are cIosed to further discussion. If you feel new information has come to light that warrants reopening of a tired topic, you are free to petition the staff, but be aware that you face a high bar: - _Scientific racism_ - any argument about why a particular group of humans is objectively better or worse than any other group. - _Holocaust denial_. Seriously, folks. If you want to debate whether the Holocaust occurred, this is not the place for you. - _Men’s rights advocacy_, including threads about how men are somehow disadvantaged in society, women are genetically inferior or have a predisposition toward specific gender roles, and how men are naturally entitled to be in charge. - _9/11 truthers_, including but not limited to claims that 9/11 didn’t happen or was a false flag operation by the government. - _Climate change denialism_. Much about climate change is open to debate, but the basic reality of the phenomenon has been established beyond reasonable doubt. **End this 9/11 stuff now,** @miller will be sorting this out later. ---
