Protected by Dubya in his F-102. I know it had its shortcomings, but it was the prettiest AC (and the Century Series had a bunch of lookers) ever, and if there had been a chance they’d let me fly one I’d’ve joined right up. ---

This Administration has so much contempt for the public that they can’t even be bothered to get their lies straight. Of course, their contempt for the 35-40% that are Trump’s base is well-deserved. ---

Indeed. Because they know the brainwashed bastards won’'t change their minds about him no matter WTF he does. The very essence of contempt, indeed. That’s a VERY dangerous thing to have in any democracy: a group of people who are totally impervious to having their minds changed about their party or candidate. ---
