I'm sure there's more to it than the loss of an engine. The MD 11 can still take off after losing an engine, and pilots simulator train for just such a scenario. The engines are designed to swing up and over the wing when they detach. I wonder if it struck the verticle stabilizer somehow πŸ€”.

Of course.

Still, God bless those folks out there every month. They're inspirational. I get choked up and honk my horn like a crazy person when I see them.

Is this Rochester Rd at Auburn? There's an anti Trump protest on that corner at least once a month.

ICE arrested comedian Robby Roadsteamer for singing a parody of Rod Stewart’s β€œDo Ya Think I’m Sexy” in a Jeffrey Epstein the Giraffe costume outside their facility.

He sings β€œIf you hate brown people / and you are a Nazi” and ICE thugs grab him and drag him into detention. No violenceβ€”just speech.

I'm giving up and going to bed. It doesn't matter who wins. Neither team can beat Toronto.

This is what Trump would have you believe. The top photo is from "war ravaged" Portland. The bottom is a "day of love" on J6.

What do YOU think?

Trump’s Flood of Emergency Appeals Is Straining the Judicial System The administration has turned to the Supreme Court at a record pace, and the justices have issued orders that lower courts have struggled to interpret.

Trump has sought emergency intervention by the Supreme Court 28 times in the first eight months of his new term, more than Bush, Obama and Biden did combined over 20 years. www.wsj.com/us-news/law/...

Sending thoughts & prayers to the war-ravaged city of Portland, Oregon now under siege from attack by Antifa & other domestic terrorists. Take solace in dear leader's words: "Nothing bad can happen. It can only good happen." (and "DON'T TAKE TYLENOL"). Let the healing begin...

If a government tells you that you can’t call it authoritarian, it’s authoritarian.

Fascists Fear Mockery Most. Trump Proved It. ABC caved after Trump’s FCC threatened them and Nexstar chased a $6.2 billion merger. This is not just cancel culture. It is blatant corruption.

Silly Jimmy Kimmel. He should have just called for all homeless people to be killed and he’d still have a job.

Just so I'm clear:

TV host says we should kill every homeless person? No big deal

TV host says the right must "go to war" with the left? Pfft.

TV host says the government is cracking down on critics? Well, the government cracks down on him for the criticism.

Free speech, everyone.

"Here's the thing, Mr. Patel. I think you're not gonna be around long. I think this might be your last oversight hearing. Because as much as you supplicate yourself to the will of Donald Trump and not the Constitution, Donald Trump has shown us he is not loyal to people like you."

HORRIBLE. SICKENING. UNACCEPTABLE.

In a democracy we settle our differences with words, ideas & actions, not hatred, guns & violence.

I know jumping to politically-advantageous conclusions is just what we do now, but its still striking how many right wing folks have immediately jumped to "violent leftist," as if there hasn't been a sustained, decadelong hate campaign against Charlie Kirk from those to his right.
