Comments by "GH1618" (@GH-oi2jf) on "NBC News" channel.

  1. The Republicans in Congress have one last chance to save their party, by cutting Trump loose and barring him from further office. I don’t think they are smart enough to do that.
    233
  2. He was trying to inspect the damaged gear, and fell out.
    209
  3. Thomas Dickey was more interesting.
    144
  4. Tattoed in the hospital while he was in a coma? That’s a stretch.
    130
  5. Companies always say safety is their top priority, but clearly it isn't.
    99
  6. This short account doesn’t explain the extent of Oberlin’s role and why it deserved such a large penalty.
    92
  7. It was a great opening speech for presumptive nominee Harris. I feel good about this election, because the Republicans responded immediately by throwing dirt. They do that because they have nothing constructive to offer. I think Americans are tired of dirt. Most of us want competent government.
    44
  8. One person in the P-63, five in the B-17.
    41
  9. Harry’s stock has fallen somewhat since this appraisal.
    39
  10. I would never travel on any cruise ship.
    36
  11. The length of a marriage is not evidence that a couple is close emotionally.
    33
  12. Boathousejoe D — You don’t know how 911 works. The dispatch is under way in parallel with the call as soon as they know that it is an emergency and they have the location. The operator keeps the line open to get any additional information which might be useful.
    32
  13. Trump is a fascist, but it is not so easy to establish fascism in the United States.
    29
  14. The NTSB didn’t really “reveal” those stunning images of cracks. We saw them a long time ago and they were in the OSHA report.
    25
  15. I hope she is put away for a long time.
    24
  16. Those stretch limos are inherently unsafe. I don’t think they should be allowed on the roads at all. There was a horrible incident with one in California in 2013 which killed five passengers. They are death traps. They are made by cutting up a perfectly good vehicle to make them three times as long, and far heavier, with inadequate braking capability. They are built by amateurs, who are only interested in the most seats at lowest cost, and they seem to skirt vehicle safety regulations. There is no need for them. There are limos built on regular truck chassis which do not require modification of the frame and which can provide for emergemcy egress such as exists on any properly designed bus. It is time to get these things off the road.
    23
  17. Mattis is taking the high ground here, befitting a military man.
    23
  18. This is a relief. Georgia should add another Democratic seat.
    22
  19. It was clear to me.
    21
  20. So-called “faithless electors” have never been a problem. Only electors pledged to losing candidates have been faithless, and there have been very few of those.
    21
  21. I don’t see how they can be allowed to monetize their royal status. That would be a huge bad precedent which would hurt the monarchy.
    19
  22. "Safety is our highest priority." Everybody says that, but it is almost never the case.
    19
  23. Somebody needs to be fired for that.
    17
  24. Todd Randall — People who go through life thinking everything is a conspiracy of some sort can’t be very happy. What a gloomy world they live in.
    16
  25. It seems she was unarmed. He had no right to prevent her from leaving. This should be a murder charge.
    16
  26. That's a dumb place for a switch that does that, but if that was the cause, it is good news. If the cause were some mysterious glitch in the flight control computers, it would be far more disturbing. This should be easy to fix.
    16
  27. I’m opposed to it. There is no need to change the $20 bill. Here’s a useful change: get rid of pennies. It is more important to change the order for the color scheme of the new presidential jets back to the classic scheme than to fiddle with the appearence of our money.
    16
  28. If you need an order of protection, you need your own firearm.
    15
  29. The U. S., and for that matter the west generally, ought to have nothing to do with Ukraine. Nothing but trouble there, in my opinion.
    15
  30. I wouldn’t call that “modified.” The MAX 9 can be configured with either an emergency exit door in that position or not. I expect it was ordered that way.
    15
  31. Zelensky was a fool to think that NATO would fight Russia on Ukraine’s behalf. I fault the United States (since I am a US citizen) for letting Ukranians believe that they could enter NATO and that we would protect them from Russia. This war was predictable and, in fact, was predicted years ago. Ukraine chose a path leading to war with Russia and they got war. Now, how can it be ended without a wider war?
    14
  32. No, it is not a stretch. One of the devices was loaded with nails. That is an anti-personnel bomb.
    14
  33. “Clear his name”? There is one fact which is undisputed. One person was holding the revolver when it was fired at Hutchins, killing her — Alec Baldwin.
    14
  34. They ought to let people retrieve valuable property. The authorities let people live in an unsafe building but they won’t allow them to recover what they can?
    14
  35. He’s struggling to win one swing state, just to save face.
    14
  36. It seems inappropriate to me. Should every private group be allowed to fly their flag wherever they please? There are countless private flags. It is impractical to accomodate them. It has nothing to do with the merits of any group. At federal facilities, the US flag should be flown everywhere, along with any flags that are associated with the facility — in this case, the flag of the Dept. of Veterans Affairs.
    13
  37. This has nothing to do with partisan politics.
    13
  38. Everybody knows he is inept, anyway. Some people just don’t want to admit it.
    13
  39. She’s a dermatologist.
    12
  40. Whatever the reason, I think his career as a commercial pilot is over.
    12
  41. The motive doesn’t matter. It isn’t necessary for the prosecution. It isn’t sufficient to convict. The evidence is all that matters.
    11
  42.  @RezidueWithaZ  — The jury decides who to believe. That does not terrify me because they got this one right.
    11
  43. X-Ray 911 — The FIGG Engineer of Record for the structure is male.
    10
  44. The SF Bay area has been cool through this, so far.
    10
  45. Sounds like many passengers were not wearing their seat belt.
    10
  46. I got the J&J as soon as they lifted the hold. It was easy to get a same-day appointment.
    10
  47. Accidents can be due to criminal negligence, Alec.
    10
  48. Michael Rotherham — Because the NTSB report just came out.
    9
  49. Sounds like a whitewash to me. A building does not become structurally unsound merely because of poor maintenance. We can know what happened only through a forensic engineering analysis. That will be difficult if it is just demolished. It probably should have been demolished decades ago rather than turning it into apartments.
    9
  50. I’d say advocacy of violence generally is intolerable.
    9
  51. They had the evidence, but not the means to process it. DNA analysis technology has been greatly improved.
    9
  52. A Reed — Because we don’t charge people with crimes just because we think they deserve it. The FBI have been looking into things and it up to them and the Dept. of Justice to determine whether there is evidence of a crime. But the fact is, deaths from airplane crashes are usually civil matters, not criminal.
    9
  53. There must be at least a hundred demonstrators!
    9
  54. If there was no explosive device, was it actually an explosion? All I see is a gasoline fire.
    9
  55. I want to know how much FIU had to do with the design concept.
    9
  56. Christie was against Trump, then for him, now against him again. He is a rank opportunist, not a leader. I’m glad to have him dissing Trump again, though.
    8
  57. I think the police should have whatever equipment they need to deal with well-armed criminals. It isn’t supposed to be a fair fight.
    8
  58. Obstruction of law enforcement at a minimum. He attempted to defraud an insurance comoany. We'll see what comes of that.
    8
  59. This is an outrage. It is time for Republican officials to cut the apron strings and stand up for our country.
    8
  60. Drugs and crime go together.
    8
  61. One thing we learned from the fall of Saigon is that, in the long run, it is better to be out of an unwinnable war than in it.
    8
  62.  @landon1626  — In fact, I am a left-leaning independent. No actual right winger would consider me an ally. In filmmaking, guns are not fired directly at actors, and are never fired at the cinemaphotographer. There are protocols for ensuring the safety of firearms on a film set and those protocols were not followed. But it is not my intention to open up a discussion of the whole incident and who all might be culpable. I merely stated one objective fact: Alec Baldwin held a revolver that was pointed at cinemaphotographer Hutchins and fired, killng her. His name is inextricably tied directly to the killing, no matter how he tries to attribute the blame to others.
    8
  63. E-mails are not the best way to notify someone of an important safety matter. Everyone's e-mail is swamped with spam, and spam filters sometimes remove things that you need to receive.
    8
  64. They are soldiers. They are not on a camping trip. They’re ok.
    8
  65. It’s worse than dumb. It is contrary to our founding principles.
    8
  66. Why make such stupid remarks?
    8
  67. I expect he was not done with this project.
    8
  68. The acting FAA director should go. He is an apologist. He will not take any responsibility for this on behalf of the FAA.
    8
  69. It was news to me.
    8
  70. No, he would not have been released anywhere.
    8
  71. What a stupid controversy! Is he an active member of the armed forces? If so, then he should wear his dress uniform to a hearing. Why would anybody question that choice?
    8
  72. It could be stopped quickly if NATO would cut off arms to Ukraine and demand that Ukraine negotiate a cease fire.
    8
  73. A lame defense, in my opinion.
    8
  74. Dr. Fauci’s finest moment.
    7
  75. I'm flying in two weeks. Relieved that I missed it.
    7
  76. That statement quoted at about 2:00 is refuted by the SAG Safety Bulletins which are easily found online: “ AS AN ACTOR, YOU ARE ULTIMATELY RESPONSIBLE fOR YOUR OWN SAfETY AND THE SAfETY Of YOUR fELLOW CAST MEMBERS. Production management and crew are responsible for creating and maintaining safe conditions, but it is your right and responsibility to double check the set up to ensure your own Safety. “
    7
  77. He was the stepfather of the girl who escaped. He may have been the father of the boys.
    7
  78. The assailant is from the United States.
    7
  79. Due process takes time.
    6
  80. Emeritus David Teo — If they shot, the CG would be shooting back with bigger guns.
    6
  81. It’s about time.
    6
  82. Brody Pazol — Yes. It isn’t a sub.
    6
  83. He did report it to the authorities, and turned over the remains. He does not seem to be in any trouble.
    6
  84. MrSh4des — No. The lead engineer was male. There is a different sensibility today — a desire to build things that look innovative, even spectacular. Conservative structures are thought to be boring.
    6
  85. Some pople don’t read the news. There have been two cases of people succumbing to heat stroke in the past couple of years. Do not go hiking in hot weather. When you do hike, take sun protection and plenty of water.
    6
  86. A fuel depot is a military target. Not a good neighborhood to be living in.
    6
  87. This should be a serious crime.
    6
  88. Permission to visit the hospital? The hospital should have been notified and given a photo. Their security should have met him, searched him, then escorted him on hspital grounds.
    6
  89. It might be impossible due to long immersion in water.
    6
  90. The question is whether it is correct or not.
    6
  91. He’s getting off too easily, but it is probably because he is useful to the prosecution.
    6
  92. Wrong. Knox is factually innocent, along with her then boyfriend. They weren't there. The victim was her friend.
    5
  93. It wasn’t a mere matter of words. She was refused a service to which she was entitled.
    5
  94. They weren’t necessarily seeking only classified documents. That would be an official document which belongs in the US Archive.
    5
  95. What question? Involuntary Manslaughter is homicide.
    5
  96. It isn’t rare for a ballot to be sent to an address from which the intended recipient has moved. That isn’t fraud.
    5
  97. There is a video of the structure available from Citadel Builders which shows that the lower floors, up to the first slab above the setback on one end, are supported on concrete posts. This video appears to show that the upper floors are supported on a steel frame. This could explain why the collapse did not progress all the way to the ground.
    5
  98. It wasn’t merely a matter of disrespect. She was refused a service to which she was entitled, and the company failed to do anything to correct the problem.
    5
  99. The mother did not have custodial rights. That is abduction.
    5
  100. Some accidents result from criminal negligence, Alec.
    5
  101. Street crime is rampant in Oakland, and brazen. Car breakins in broad daylight. It only takes a few seconds to break a car window to grab something.
    5
  102. “Decimated” means “reduced by one-tenth.” That’s the wrong word here.
    4
  103. Is there any evidence other than the pilot’s statement?
    4
  104. The opinions of the faculty are more important than the opinions of outsiders. The president represents the university. The faculty are the university.
    4
  105. msta100 — They aren’t idiots. They didn’t want the short supply of masks hoarded by people who were not at the most risk. Even now, there aren’t enough medical masks for those who need them.
    4
  106. You will all remember that the Republicans impeached President Clinton, for largely political reasons in my opinion. Not only did they not get the 2/3 they needed to convict in the Senate, they didn’t even get a majority. Both major parties (and all minor parties, for that matter) have double standards when politics is involved. To her credit, Pelosi has resisted calls for impeachment for some time. This latest stunt from Trump has pushed her over the line, but it’s just an investigation. It may not result in articles of impeachment, but if it motivates the President to step back a bit, that will be a worthwhile.
    4
  107. Not likely. Montana is a long way to go for most people. Nobody would drive so far for a relative minor (and local) issue. But there are 75,000 people just in Missoula. Why would you think they couldn’t get a crowd of a few hundred for this? If they were inclined to travel for it, why wouldn’t they go to Helena?
    4
  108. Not really. They are a tiny minority of medical workers. Every profession has a few oddballs.
    4
  109. It isn’t. People are free to go about their normal business as usual, outside of closed zones.
    4
  110. Nobody knows if it is “isolated” in the long run. It might be the first os several such buildings on that island to have fatal defects.
    4
  111. They actually just reached the mesopause, not space.
    4
  112. Salemdxb — In this case, because there is no evidence. If there is, please provide a lnk. Note that they did not say there is no immunity. All they said is that they don’t know.
    4
  113. That wasn’t a “rogue wave.” It was just an ordinary breaker. The boat capsized because it was not competently operated and positioned wrong.
    4
  114. Fewer than 1% of the employees are refusing to take the vaccine.
    4
  115. If you are belted in the car, you would just release it the usual way. If you can't do that, you can't cut it either.
    4
  116. So? They don’t have to follow your schedule.
    4
  117. So this is the same batch we hears about awhile back, not a new incident. Is that right?
    4
  118. It was built in Japan and is owned by a Japanese company.
    4
  119. They probably broke in.
    4
  120. This was not a federal crime, Einstein.
    4
  121.  Dirk Dankula  — He was on surgery. Who knows where he is at this precise minute? Probably in the ICU or the next level down.
    4
  122. This is probably the biggest superspreader event of all, and the stupidest.
    4
  123. Benjamin Esposti — Ponte Morandi is in Genoa, Italy. That’s why the name is in Italian.
    4
  124. Rafael Maldonado — There have been a few bridges that collapsed during construction in Europe. Recently, a bridge collapsed in Taiwan. Your assertion has no basis in fact.
    4
  125. Black Magic — We almost have, where I live.
    4
  126. It was Jacksons Food Stores and Shell gasoline. There are several in the area. This is a large enough company that a million-dollar judgment is necessary to send a message.
    4
  127. Can't Gen Z figure this out for themselves?
    4
  128. It’s shameful that the US population is only half fully vaccinated. It isn’t for lack of vaccine.
    4
  129. The District Attorney is the person announcing the charges he has filed.
    4
  130. Why is it made in Malaysia? I thought these came from Wichita.
    4
  131. It isn’t treason, but it is likely a serious crime (for most people, anyway). Here’s a trivia question: Who was the only US citizen to be charged with treason after the WWII era?
    4
  132. It is his own party forcing him out. I’ll miss him. The “scandals” they cite seem pretty mild. Am I the only one here old enough to remember Profumo-Keeler?
    4
  133. Yes, but it is much better to land with power. Gliding, you don’t get a second chance.
    4
  134. NIST did excellent work on the 9/11 disasters. They are the right people to investigate this.
    3
  135. Who leaked it? Meghan?
    3
  136. I don’t think he can explain anything to an ignoramus who does not want a vaccine. There have to be consequences. Teachers should be required to be vaccinated, as were the Houston Methodist nurses, for example.
    3
  137. So Sanders also wants to “buy votes,” but with the nation’s money instead of his own?
    3
  138. There was only one hammer.
    3
  139. They are said to be neoNazis.
    3
  140. Why do you think he’s out? They just arrested him.
    3
  141. The thing that isn't right is your grasp of logic.
    3
  142. It doesn't say this pond was searched. Clearly, it wasn't.
    3
  143. Jorba — The judge is an expert in sentencing, and considers all the aggravating and mitigating factors. It is not part of the process to pander to anonymous people on the internet who like to see famous people sent to prison.
    3
  144. Full Moon夢 — The mask is to protect others, not the wearer.
    3
  145. Alaska Airlines has not had a crash in many years. They are not the same company as they were then. I fly Alaska Airlines routinely. They are an excellent airline.
    3
  146. There is no significant gun control in the United States.
    3
  147. Unimportant.
    3
  148. This was a great speech — one of Obama’s best — except for the part about “peaceful demonstrators.” They were not peaceful. They were rioters and arsonists who, in fact, attacked and damaged federal property. There may have been some peaceful demonstrators present, but peaceful people have no proper business remaining when their demonstration becomes an unpeaceful, unlawful assembly. Linking these events with those of John Lewis’ era does him no credit. The rioters in Portland and Seattle are not in Lewis’ league and they don’t belong on the same platform with him.
    3
  149. Average Joe — No, it is expected that he would be quarantined just because he came off an infected ship.
    3
  150. “Coincidence” just means two things happen at the same time, nothing more. The shooting occurred not long after several people walked off. Was it the next day?
    3
  151. Hopefully, there are enough Brexiters elected to the EU parliament to block any more British surrender agreements, and force the UK out without giving up any of their sovereignty.
    3
  152. I’m sure she doesn’t need you.
    3
  153. He will be sent to Hawai’i.
    3
  154. FIU. That is Florida International University, the entity that built a pedestrian bridge which collapsed while under construction.
    3
  155. This certainly should be prosecuted as murder. You do not have the right to shoot a mere trespasser who is not presenting a serious threat. This is an example of the fact that while firearms can get you out of trouble, they can also get you into trouble. Did this gun owner have any training in its proper handling and use?
    3
  156. Fauci haters are so funny.
    3
  157. I can’t believe some Republicans in Congress have supported him throughout his attempts to disregard the electoral result. It’s shocking.
    3
  158. “Most”? A ridiculous assertion.
    3
  159. Wrong. Do not give jets to Ukraine. Do not give them anything but humanitarian aid. The sooner this is over, the better.
    3
  160. so?
    3
  161. It isn’t the added time, which won’t be that much. I expect he will serve his time in more restricted conditions. He won’t be driving any prison trucks.
    3
  162. Clearly “willful disregard for the safety of others” in the case of Mr. Baldwin, in my opinion.
    3
  163. She is factually innocent. The murderer is known.
    3
  164. US Federal courts never have live video. The US Dept. of Justice does not routinely release booking photos anyway. This isn’t entertainment.
    3
  165. Her age is not the problem.
    3
  166. He shouldn’t. If there is a substantive basis for a complaint, the alleged victim should file a lawsuit. Otherwise, this is just a smear campaign. It’s political.
    3
  167. It is inaccessible.
    3
  168. dean russo — They may not have wanted Markle to be around. Harry was raised a royal so understands the royal system, even if he has problems with it. Charles will explain what choices he has, and he will choose.
    3
  169. It does not appear that stunts were being performed. It is important that the cause be determined. Air shows are usually safe against airplanes colliding. It is a matter of managing the airspace. We need to know where the system failed.
    3
  170. It was a hurricane for a time. They said it was downgraded.
    3
  171. jodie vukmir — The Republicans do need a new candidate, but they are too clueless to realize that.
    3
  172. If they use their guns illegally, they will lose them. That’s what they are afraid of. The National Guard are the people’s militia. These self-appointed unregulated “militias” are just vigilantes.
    3
  173. Why? She has been exonerated. She is factually innocent. Why would you say such a thing?
    3
  174. It isn’t now. There was flooding in NYC a few decades ago.
    3
  175. The9901234 — The interiors are determined primarily by the airlines. Low-cost carriers skimp on the seating.
    3
  176. You know nothing of his history.
    3
  177. Pohaku Mana — The NYC Medical Examiner had the body and all the evidence she needed to make a determination of the cause and manner of death. Whether you accept her report is of no importance.
    3
  178. That means he doesn’t know, exactly.
    3
  179. We also voted him out. He was a wannabe Mussolini, but we will not tolerate fascism here.
    3
  180. Angelino Rider — You must be if you don’t know anything about how modern governments are constituted.
    3
  181. It is a common name.
    3
  182. No, but they may terminate an unvaccinated employee.
    3
  183. Lu green — The masks that are being advised for the general public are to help reduce the spread of the virus to others, not so much to protect the wearer.
    3
  184. ******** — Not only that, Nixon had some respect for democratic institutions. He was urged to challenge the Illinois election results in 1960, but he refused.
    3
  185. The fact that he was in custody was the essential information. It meant that everyone can stop worrying about where he is. It is appropriate that the details have been left for a press event. That gives the officials time to interview everyone involved so as to get the story right.
    3
  186. The booking photo just isn’t available yet. Some jurisdictions don’t release booking photos routinely. They have no duty to provide it to people here.
    3
  187. Good for her, but the employee who said that to her should be fired.
    3
  188. The aircraft reached its destination on autopilot. The autopilot turned the aircraft toward the airfield where it was to land. At that point, the pilot should have taken control. Since he didn’t, the autopilot held the same heading and altitude until the fuel was exhausted.
    3
  189. I wonder if the device exploded accidentally. As a deliberate attack, it didn't amount to much.
    3
  190.  @heirloomburn8087 — You know nothing about what these victims support.
    3
  191. That takes a little longer.
    3
  192. At least two people have died in Oregon from the flooding, so it has been deadly.
    3
  193. These protestors are a tiny fraction of the populace. They are probably John Birchers or similar.
    3
  194. Just in the past year, Airbus planes have had two hydraulic failures requiring emergency landings. and another emergency for smoke in the cabin. Anybody who thinks Airbus does not also have occasional problems just isn’t paying attention.
    3
  195. Their policies have hurt their profits, so no.
    3
  196. We (in the US) know that anyway. It’s mild criticism compared to what I think of him.
    3
  197. The vulnerability is this: 1. vast numbers of systems use the same platform. 2. most of those (it seems) will install kernel-privileged software upon receipt. This only happened on such a large scale because IT managers are too trusting of software updates which have the potential to cause harm. I use an iPad, mostly. Now and then, Apple notifies me of an update to IOS, the operating system. I am never in a hurry to install it. I might be weeks or months behind the updates. If there is something wrong with an update, I will read about it before I install it. I did avoid one bad update by being cautious.

    2
  201. There has to be a hearing to deny any bond.
    2
  202. There hasn't been anything new to report. That happened in Charleston County S. Carolina. Maybe the local news there would have something.

  203. New Notification — You might have ended up in prison with him, or in the ground.
    2
  204. Pleas of “not guilty” are routine.
    2
  205. A structural failure comes down to design, materials, and workmanship. They are separate aspects, but are intimately connected. The immediate cause may have been any combination of these, but the extent of the collapse suggests to me a weak design. The structure appears to be concrete slabs supported on a steel frame. But if the frame is robust, a local defect in materials and workmanship should be contained. Here, the collapse propagated along the front of the building and down through the floors to the top of the lower section. That suggests that the steel frame was not strong enough to contain a collapse which presumably started at one location. It isn’t the quality or place of origin of the steel that matters most, it’s the size of the members.

    2
  209. The security video isn’t good enough to make a positive id, which is why they are calling Card a “person of interest.”

  213. OJ was acquitted of the worst charge.
    2
  214. We have a free press in the United States. They may say anything they like. It isn’t official. You may call it yourself, if you like.

  215. These men found out there is.
    2
  216. Andrew Jackson was not impeached.
    2
  217. Mr. Pelosi called 911 and the operator sensed there was trouble. She dispatched police on a priority basis. There was only one hammer. I don’t understand why some people don’t get this.
    2
  218. No. Federal prison is not a resort. It’s a minimum security prison camp. There are no prisons for the rich because few rich people go to prison. Minimum security is for nonviolent offenders.
    2
  219. It depends on whose count is being displayed. There is no official total.

  226. Edric Aldones — I was there in the 1960s. You are in no position to lecture me on the 1960s.
    2
  227. itsss skinerrr — This was in a mountainous, wooded area and the suspect was on foot. It is very difficult to find someone in such conditions. The police were lucky on that he confronted a citizen who could handle it.
    2
  228. Carmen Ghersi — Your package was probably not sent first class. If you are worried about you ballot not arriving in time, you can always deliver it in person.
    2
  229. “Activist Democrats” are so stupid. The Democrats ought to be focussed on developing candidates who can win presidential elections more consistently.
    2
  230. They have sued and they lost round one.
    2
  231. canane — They can, and do every day. You only read about the tiny number of controversial arrests because the others aren’t newsworthy.
    2
  232. Are they supposed to be on site looking over the shoulders of the people assembling the planes? I’m just wondering what is a practical way to fix this.
    2
  233. It isn't necessary to find jurors who know nothing about the case. It is necessary to find impartial jurors. That is what a defendant is entitled to.

    2
  242. They failed in military preparedness.
    2
  243. All they said was that he was registered Republican, which is not the same thing. He was outside the political mainstream whatever he called himself.

  244. What was the accident?
    2
  245. He will be dust.
    2
  246. Actually, Muilenburg ran it into the ground, and he was an engineer. Calhoun took over in a crisis and got the company through it. Clearly, there is more work to do, but Calhoun did not create Boeing's problems.
    2
  247. No, she ddn’t “refuse.” The public defender just didn’t have it when he was interviewed.

    2
  249. That resolution failed. Just pass the bill of impeachment.
    2
  250. That would be the driver, first. If the brakes are bad and he can’t fix them with adjustment, then he should not drive.
    2
  251. President Biden is a sanctimonious warmonger. Russia had good reasons for intervening in eastern Ukraine because Ukranian fascists have been attacking the Russian-speaking people of eastern Ukraine for nearly a decade, trying to “cleanse” Ukraine of Russian language and people. That is a policy of genocide and the United States has been supporting it. The irony is that in past years we intervened in the Balkans to help separate people who were unable or unwilling to live together in peace. In Ukraine we are pouring fuel on the fire, turning the conflict into a proxy war against Russia at great expense in money and lives. Ukraine is in the Russian sphere of influence. Russiand and Ukranians are cousins. There is only one sensible policy for the United States vis a vis Ukraine: to be uninvolved militarily and tell the parties to settle their differences among themselves. Of course it is far too late for that. I voted for President Biden and was elated to help turn out our fascist former president, but Biden’s policy of support for Ukranian fascists disgusts me. I will not vote for him again.

  257. Greatest Loser Of All Time
    2
  258. Whether they were literally sleeping for all or part of the time doesn’t matter much. They were slacking off in any case. But they should not be scapegoats for the warden and the psychologist, who put Epstein into a cell where he could not be watched continuously.
    2
  259. So? There are not enough left to make a difference.
    2
  260. End what? How would he do that? The Congress will follow its proper procedures to fulfill its Constitutional duty.
    2
  261. Smith Ed — Nobody is, except people who are desperately trying to undermine his candidacy. The Hill, whoever they are, are the worst. They are putting out anti-Biden propaganda daily. But the nomination won’t be decided by the handful of people who follow their videos.
    2
  262. They did. The US Navy detected it. They reported to the rescuers. The attempt at rescue proceeded because they wanted to be sure that the Navy didn’t detect something else. It is reported right here. Listen to the video.
    2
  263. Where do you get the idea that he is free?
    2
  264. @Rowdy — Everybody is free until they are accused of a crime. There is nothing in this video which indicates that he had already been charged with a crime before arresting him for this one.
    2
  265. We need federal standards for federal offices, so voters can cast their ballot at any post office.
    2
  266. Time to wrap this up. They have had plenty of time to correct the problem.
    2
  267. The company is large enough that a much smaller amount would not have been significant. The judgment has to hurt in order to have an effect on their practices.
    2
  268. The President is not responsible for car theft.

  272. There were only seconds between their arrival and the battery incident, at which point they tackled the assailant.
    2
  273. Steo der fragt — He was not on suicide watch. He had been moved out of that section more than a week earlier.
    2
  274. Those so-called “Ukranian soldiers” are the remnants of the Azov Battalion, neoNazi gangsters. Ukranians are responsible for the destruction of Mariupol and the murder of its citizens. Mariupol is being liberated by Russian troops. The Azov gangsters will be destroyed and Mariupol will be rebuilt.
    2
  275. He is not doing the official work of the President. He is preparing to become President. He must decide on cabinet secretaries and staff, and plan the things to be done in the early weeks of his term. I’m hoping one of his early actions will be to tell Boeing to use the traditional livery on the new B747 presidential jets.
    2
  276. Zach Cloutier — Please, let’s forget about Hillary Clinton.
    2
  277. Attorney Dickey said that he had not seen any evidence. He wants official documents in his hand, not news reports.

  281. ⁠ @NotExpatJoe -- No, it was carrying 4680 40-foot containers, each 2 TEU. It was nearly fully loaded, so drafting about 49 feet.
    2
  282. Tennessee? I thought they said there were no plans to go that far east. How will they supply it?
    2
  283. The stretch limo concept was invented in the United States and they are still built in the United States.
    2
  284. Mike Jones — baloney. What is your credential in aeronautics?
    2
  285. He was 20 and she 17 at the time of the crash. That is not so large a difference.
    2
  286. It would be up to whatever bar he is a member of.
    2
  287. Yes and no. He can be arrested in the USA for a crime committed in Spain, but if he murdered a US citizen, that is a crime in the USA.
    2
  288. She is in federal prison.
    2
  289. He was not on my ballot.
    2
  290. There was no third person. Early reports often contain errors which are corrected later.
    2
  291. Trying to blame it on the brakes is in itself incriminating, because truckers do not rely on service brakes to descend long hills. They rely on lower gears supplemented by engine brakes. Service brakes alone cannot control a heavily loaded truck on a long, steep downgrade.
    2
  292. Two are US citizens. Did you hear that part? This is their adopted country. Most natural born US citizens have an ancestor who immigrated to the United States. Our people come from everywhere.
    2
  293. In fact, Ukranians have been killing the Russian-speaking people of eastern Ukraine for eight years. The damahe to civilian targets in Mariupol is almost entirely caused by Ukranians, notably the fascist Azov Battalion. We know this from independent reporting from Mariupol and from the people themselves. Zelensky is a charlatan, but western leaders have fallen for his line.
    2
  294. It will be 15 to life.
    2
  295. That was a quarter century ago. Alaska is not the same company today. It works both ways. An airline with an excellent record that long ago might be less safe today. How would you know? Alaska is consistently at or near the top in customer satisfaction surveys.
    2
  296. Right. Hate crime enhancements are more important for otherwise minor crimes.
    2
  297. Certainly in Portland, Oregon. The fault lies directly with Mayor Wheeler and Governor Brown. Also with the Multnomah Counta D.A. and the Attorney General. As a native Oregonian, it disgusts me. Portland used to be a nice place.
    2
  298.  @hopespringseternal2624 — That was a quarter century ago. It is not an indicator of safety at Alaska Airlines today.
    2
  299. Are you serious?
    2
  300.  @threekings5956  — Anything can get placed in that database. Actual adverse reactions of any consequence are far fewer. The CDC report a plausible causal relationship between the Janssen vaccine and blood clots at an incidence of 7 per million. That’s the scale of risk of serious complications for that vaccine.
    2
  301. He might have intended to leave the car in Pennsylvania. It belonged to his parents.
    2
  302. It burned up. It was probably difficult to get close enough for a photo. You know what a gasoline truck looks like. You don’t need a picture.
    2
  303. magburner — What President Trump actually said was the Democrats’ statements on the subject were a hoax.
    2
  304. The finger prints are on a water bottle and a candy wrapper left at the scene of the crime.
    2
  305. We call it "penny-pinching."

  306. It isn’t his wealth, it’s his position as a former President.
    2
  307. She just called it that, so yes.
    2
  308. This scheme must have been targetting Congressional contests. California’s statewide vote for president cannot be flipped by such a meager effort. It would help to know whete these boxes had been placed.
    2
  309. They don’t if it was part of a larger plan. It probably wasn’t, but it is better to err on the side of being over prepared.
    2
  310. Serious adverse reactions are extremely rare. Nevertheless, it was enough to cause a pause in distribution of the Janssen vaccine. Nothing is being hidden. it’s just that adverse reactions are rare and minor. Some people will complain if they get a headache.
    2
  311. She’s doing the right thing, and the voters will have their chance to pass judgment in 2022. Even if she is turned out, she will eventually be remembered by history for her courageous stand.
    2
  312. Baldwin had a live cartridge in his belt at the time of the shooting.
    2
  313. They always report the maximum potential sentence for the crime charged. Maximum sentences are for the worst offenders.
    2
  314. The glass was broken from the outside. Shattered glass goes everywhere. The hypothetical third person was not involved in the crime, so should not be reported.
    2
  315. Closing a hospital obviously would not help anyone.
    2
  316. No, there is no Constitutional way to do such a thing.
    2
  317. I just watched the updated 12 March 2024 version of that documentary. I didn't even see Calhoun in it in the parts discussing the MAX crashes. He was not CEO then. CEO Muilenburg did say something like that, although I can't find the statement you give as a quote. Was it in an earlier version of the documentary? Can you please give the version of the documentary and the approximate time stamp? Edit: I did find Calhoun in the original version, at about 48:30 minutes in. He did suggest something like that, but I didn't find the quote.
    2
  318. Only the young woman said she had never before heard gunshots. The gentleman said it was “unnormal” to hear gunshots in a residential area. (He should have said “abnormal.”) There is no contradiction.
    2
  319. Bercow was partisan. The Speaker of the House of Commons is supposed to be impartial. Sir Lindsay Hoyle is better than Bercow in that regard.
    2
  320. It was most likely an attack by Ukrainians. Ukrainians are trying to get the west into a war with Russia, or at least turn world opinion against Russia. We know from an independent reporter on the ground that the attacks on civilians in Maiupol are from Ukrainians. Ukrainians have been attacking the Russian-speaking people in the east for eight years, but we hear very little about it.
    2
  321. Biden had nothing to do with the National Guard controversy.
    2
  322. The NIST are on site and will do a thorough investigation. That must come first.
    2
  323. The security detail goes where the Speaker goes. Clearly her home sevurity needs an upgrade.
    2
  324. No doubt he did, but why believe anything he says?
    2
  325. Pops-N-I — Jamaican blacks have African ancestry.
    2
  326. The design of the car. The seatbelt and air bags are designed to protect the driver in a frontal collision. People in a car which is T-boned are less well protected.
    2
  327. He didn’t say the second sentence. Why did you put it in the quote marks?
    2
  328. Fasten your seat belt and slow down. If you have air bags, you should survive an accident like this.
    2
  329. She is a US citizen, so a crime against her can be prosecuted in the USA. He was arrested here in the USA, so the FBI filed a charge here to hold him. Spain could also charge him for crimes committed in Spain.

  330. You can’t charge the DA. You can replace him.
    1
  331. joeschultz2 — It collapsed.
    1
  332. Trump has no official position in the Republican Party. He is only a leader of those who choose to follow him.
    1
  333. It is pretty clear from the tire marks shown in the video.
    1
  334. It’s a rate charge because there are few people who are sedition, and even when they are it might be a close call. For example, some of the Malheur Refuge takeover leaders were charged with sedition, but acquitted. A mixed verdict in this case means that the jurors were looking carefully at the evidence and the law.
    1
  335. Raj Gill — You have it backward. Deaths are only counted when they are known to be associated with the virus. There are undoubtedly some deaths which are not diagnosed which are counted as unknown cause.
    1
  336. A third person may have opened the door for the police, but he or she is not part of the crime.
    1
  337. “Feral” rhymes with “fear.”
    1
  338. It is routine to check ballots for signatures, or late arrivals, and to check for duplicate voting or mismarked ballots. Eliminating illegal ballots is not controversial.
    1
  339. Balder — I do not agree.
    1
  340. More likely, a good design that wasn’t assembled properly.
    1

    1
  347. We (in the USA) didn’t send him there.

  350. Because people are stupid.
    1
  351. The lawsuit was dismissed for want of a legal basis for trial.
    1
  352. Better yet, teach her to drive. A pickup would not have made a difference in this crash.
    1
  353. Her lawyer has a duty to represent her.
    1
  354. That depends on the particular fuel. Natural gas will do that.
    1
  355. Actually, discrimination for particular reasons is illegal. For example, a restaurant can refuse service to people who are barefoot.
    1
  356. He broke in through a glass door in the rear of the house.

  357. Orenthal Simpson — Some courts don’t allow cameras. Everybody knows that.

  359. Oregon and one other state.
    1
  360. Kisho K — Our system works slowly.
    1
  361. It’s just a typo.
    1
  362. frankpinmtl — They say they expect to be ready in late June, but they do not have a target date. It is an expectation but not a commitment.
    1
  363. Did it help in his capture?
    1
  364. Do think the FBI can monitor every place where someone can leave the country and vet every person who goes through? That's ridiculous.
    1
  365. Dougie Kavanagh — There are no cameras in the cells in that unit. There are cameras covering the hallways, which is how they have reason to believe the guards were not doing their rounds on schedule. When you get elementary facts wrong, you undermine your whole case.
    1
  366. baloney
    1
  367. Sure, but he thinks out loud about everything, and with very little critical thought.
    1
  368. Not likely. She will go to minimum security. She will not be housed with violent offenders.
    1
  369. It is when it fits. The term is used when there are particular motivations.
    1
  370. Perhaps, but they just pulled this hypothesis out of thin air. Where is the evidence?
    1
  371. Ian Home — Not true. Her term ends January 3rd. The President pro tem of the Senate would become President.
    1
  372. He’s running scared. His campaign is falling apart.
    1
  373. No one can ban poetry. I hope she has much more to write in the next few years.
    1
  374. vikingjedi — I’ll guess he would like that.
    1
  375. They should just be charged (in the House) with violation of their oath of office. You would not get sedition charges in a court of law.
    1
  376. Doc Lewis — It was a truss, intended to span the distance.
    1
  377. He wasn’t charged with murder.
    1
  378. I like this Speaker.
    1
  379. Pelosi? For what? Are you accusing her of a crime? Would you do that under your actual name? I doubt it.
    1
  380. That’s a laugh. They are rounding up people who were literally trying to overthrow the government of the United States.
    1
  381. Joshua Waldorf — We all have freedom of speech in this country.
    1
  382. That is under investigation in S. Carolina now. Nobody should be talking about it unless they have actual relevant information.
    1
  383. He needs more than an ordinary pickup. He needs a proper livestock trailer and a heavy duty pickup with a fifth wheel.
    1
  384. The runaway truck ramp is an exit to be used by truckers who cannot control the speed of their trucks.
    1
  385. It had a high descent rate, so it might have bounced. If one side bounced higher than the other, the a gust of crosswind could have caught the wing and flipped it. That would be a freak accident.

    1
  389. Better too much security than too little.

  390. High schoolers often have jobs when they are 16 and may need to drive to get to work. In my high school a video was shown to all the students showing the aftermath of fatal crashes. We had a driver’s ed course as well. Sixteen is old enough if properly trained and if the driver has respect for the responsibilities of driving.
    1
  391. This is not a loveable guy. He thinks he's important. If he is convicted he will disappear and be mostly forgotten.
    1
  392. It has been reported that he is Canadian and that he was once into Green Party, but his latest social media activity has been right wing. Speaker Pelosi is a target of the right, not the left.

    1
  394. There are three approved vaccines. Which one?
    1
  395. TEZ — ABC technology was not the problem here. All that means is that a prefabricated span was moved and lifted into place. That is established technology.
    1
  396. You contradicted yourself. There are videos of people of all colors causing disturbances on aircraft. This particular person is shown because he is a person recently arrested for causing a disturbance on an airliner, and for no other reason.

  402. No, because he was not acquitted.
    1
  403. Nothing has happened recently which is criminal, as far as I know. Calhoun took over during a crisis and got the company through it. I give him credit for that. My main complaint with Calhoun, which I have stated several times in comments, is that he supported Muilenburg too long, until it was no longer possible, before removing him. I thought Muilenburg was a problem the first time I heard him speak after the Lion Air crash.

  408. Katie Gonzales — Who? The anchor? He’s just reporting what he has been told. Do you think his numbers are wrong? Which ones? How do you know what the right numbers are?

  409. Why doesn’t NBC put the location of this incident in the description? I don’t mean the street, I mean the city and state.

  410. F1zzy — A do-nothing Republican.
    1
  411. I doubt he has admitted to it.
    1
  412. Comments like this are so ignorant. The booking photo is not the first priority and is not taken until someone is formally booked. Even then, some jurisdictions do not routinely release booking photos. From a news standpoint, the first thing of interest is general description of what happened, as was given here. As it turns out, the booking photo has been taken and released and can be found online easily. There is no need to get into high dudgeon over the procedures of the Washington County sheriff.

  415. What is the point of nit-picking their production? If you don’t like it, you can go to another news source. You can even start your own news channel and do things exactly the way you like. You may find producing a news story isn’t as easy as you imagine. You may find it is impossible to please everybody.

  427. Sometimes it fits, but it rarely works because very few people are legally insane.
    1
  428. The problem with requiring masks is that they are not readily available. Even hospital staff have shortages. There ought to be simple, inexpensive masks manufactured by the millions and handed out at the entrance of supermarkets and large stores like Target that sell household supplies.

  435. He did not explain the cause. And, by the way, there was only one official explaining anything.
    1
  436. Some people say it’s the other way. Actually, they don’t show the booking photo until the booking photo is released. It isn’t the first priority. Some agencies don’t release booking photos at all.

  437. You have to read The New York Times if you want in depth coverage.
    1
  438. I don’t expect that the trucker is at fault in any way, but I do have one suggestion: drive with your lights on at all times, but especially on undivided roads. I remember another case recently when a car turned in front of a log truck. Headlights can make a difference. I always drive with my headlights on when on country roads or undivided highways. I want other drivers to have their best chance of seeing me.

  439. The Infiniti caused this crash.

  440.  GregLakatosChradm -- No, a separate company does not make the plane. Spirit makes the fuselage structure. Boeing builds the airplane on that fuselage. It is Boeing's responsibility to inspect the fuelage thoroughly at every critical juncture.

  445. Henry — In the Reuters article, although it reports that the expected ungrounding will be late June, Elwell is saying he won’t put a date on it. This is not too different from his statement here. Reuters uses the word “target,” but it is their word. They are not quoting Elwell. I don’t interpret this article to suggest the FAA is “eager” to clear the Max for flight. I think they expect to be ready by late June, but do not have a target date. They will be ready when they complete the work needed to ensure the aircraft is safe to fly.
    1
  446. The police and prosecutors have a primary responsibility to the courts to ensure that a proper trial is held. They do not want to try the case in public media and should not. This isn’t entertainment. You may go to court when the trials are held to see the evidence.

    1
  452. Remember Muilenburg was an engineer.
    1
  453. It never was that. Some right-wing rag made that up and tried to smear President Obama with it. The New Yorker ran a cover with the Obamas, dressed as terrorists, doing a fist-bump. I’m sure the Obamas thought it was funny.
    1
  454. Jack Axe — Somehow people who make accusations like this never seem to have a single case to cite, and it would take more than one case to show a pattern. Most of the people she put in jail belonged in jail. As District Attorney, she initiated a program to give deserving criminals an alternative path which avoided jail. Nobody goes to jail just for smoking a joint. That notion is just stoner propaganda. The so-called “nonviolent offenders” are drug dealers, usually selling more than just cannabis, and sometimes repeat offenders. And they are usually armed. Drug dealers are the most violent segment of society, save actual terrorists.

  455. It was Delta Connection, operated by a wholly owned subsidiary of Delta, and wearing Delta livery. That is Delta.
    1
  456. Why would they do that?
    1
  457. Because this was probably put together before they had been chatged as adults. It is standard practice to protect the identity of juvinile offenders.
    1
  458. They are distinguishing them from dive teams that are part of police departments. This is obvious.
    1
  459. Whatever she did was minor compared to poisoning the IV bags, which seems to have caused her death. It doesn't merit discussion here.
    1
  460. Eric Tripton — The design isn’t really 50 years old. The NG series is about 25 years old. A lot of revisions went into the original design to make the NG, and more revisions have been made since. And the planes certainly aren’t 50 years old. A 737 Max is a new aircraft built according to an old (but updated) design. There is nothing inherently wrong with an old design. If you have a claw hammer in your toolbox, you grandfather would certainlr recognize the design. If you are an expert in the design of the 737 airframe, why don’t you tell us exactly what is wrong with it and why.

  462. She was seriously hurt, but recovered.

  463. “Accident” means only that the manner of death was not a murder or suicide, nor natural causes. It is not a judgment as to negligence.

  464. Danny Boy — They were not doing a test, they were retensioning the steel rods. Still, they should have closed the road. It should have been closed even before, when the cracks opened.

  467. He is irrational.

  468. Elle Krimowa — No, they should not. It was a narrow, technical decision. The Supreme Court does not have the authority to tell a state how to run its elections, as long as there is no Constitutional question to be decided.

  470. G Belal — He wouldn’t be out until January 20.
    1
  471. Michael Davis — The Democrats started the year with 20 candidates. The vote was split too many ways. It took the South Carolina Democrats to sort it out and get the nomination process on the right track. It is not unusual for a Vice Presidential nominee to be an also-ran in the primaries, or even someone who didn’t run at all. The Vice Presidency is not a consolation prize for the second-place finisher.
    1
  472. Leah B — The woman who got 12 years (suspended) was convicted of larceny and selling narcotics. She actually served only three years.
    1
  473. Jay M — This is not an unstable design, but itwas a design flaw to rely on only one sensor. The revised MCAS will use both sensors and will not act when they disagree.

  475. It was a federal case, so he will probably be in the Florence, Colorado Supermax. That is not a pleasant place to spend the rest of your life.
    1
  476. Criminal acts often are a conspiracy. The question is, what kind of conspiracy? The FBI are looking into possible connections between the individuals central to these two incidents. That means they are considering the possibility of a conspiracy.

  479. Elaine Ferry — Masks are to protect others, not the wearer. Even then, they reduce the spread of the virus, not eliminate it.

  483. Her PhD was in education, from Columbia.
    1
  484. Ricky Cartel — “Not guilty” pleas are pro forma at the outset of a case. It allows time to discuss the case with an attorney and to make a deal. It’s normal. She was not penalized for that delay.
    1
  485. Ricky Cartel — The indictments were announced in early March of this year. Huffman announced that she would plead guilty one month later. She may not have made a plea at all before then.
    1
  486. Neutralize Zelensky.
    1
  487. No, violating the espionage act is not treason. Espionage act violations are fairly common. Treason is something else and is exceedingly rare. I think there has been only one charge of treason since the WWII era.

  491. The people are not a party to the lawsuit.
    1
  492. It depends on the circumstances. Each case is judged on its own merits. The United States does extradite its own citizens at times. We also have trouble getting people from other nations extradited to the US. It works both ways.

  494. She may not have been there the whole time.

  495. 2011Mamamia — There are supposed to be new rules in the offing. I expect that if they are too cramping of Trump’s style he will refuse to accept them.

  503. Pacific Heights is not a gated community. Anybody can drive by the house.
    1
  504. The US electoral system is not “set up” for two parties. There can be any number of parties. Two parties tend to dominate as a consequence of the election of members of Congress to single member districts. Parliamentary systems with single member districts sometimes have more than two strong parties for two reasons: strong sectional differences and the election of the head of government by parliament, which allows for coalitions. In the US, the manner electing the president does not allow for coalitions. We tend to have factions within a major party. We also have third parties, but they tend to be insignificant. In a free society, it is not legitimate to try to influence the number of parties by government. A political party is essentially nothing but people exercising their Constitutional right of free assembly, speech, and press.

  524. The investigation is ongoing.

  525. Cars are much safer than they once were. The front is sacrifices while the passenger compartment is protected. She was probably wearing her seat belt, and with the air bag that made the difference. Even so, she was seriously i jured. Her passengers may not have been wearing seat belts. Air bags are not sufficient protection without seat belts.

    1
  536. The Big Lie — a brazen lie repeated loudly and often so easily manipulated people will think there must be something to it. It is the tool of demagogues and fascists.

  546. Elizabeth Ortiz — This sentence is enough for her to learn her lesson.

  550. Calhoun did not ruin Boeing. The roots of their problems go way back. He is a relative newcomer. His predecessor, Muilenburg, did far more damage to the company.

  551. Where? The two fatal crashes occurred before Calhoun and Deal had their current positions. There have been no fatalities since.
    1
  552. The shareholders aren’t the problem, though. The large depositors are. FR had too much money in uninsured deposits. They were out on a limb and the depositors sawed it off.

  553. If it it ran out of fuel, or the autopilot disengaged, without the pilot operating the controls, it would crash just as it did.
    1
  554. ARs and similar rifles are the choice of mass murderers. That is because they are optimized for killing people in large numbers. Other firearms can also be used for mass murder, but not as efficiently.

    1
  565. How does that protect you from an impaired, reckless driver?
    1
  566. Right. It seems pretty clearly justified. The woman did not over-react. Apparently, she shot him only once, which was enough to stop the attack.
    1
  567. Liberals like Amtrak.
    1
  568. There is nothing to say that pertains to the crash.

  578. Eric Gonzo — Actually, S. Carolina was the key, a few days before Super Tuesday. There was only one primary before the one in S. Carolina, in New Hampshire. Sanders “won” that one, but he only had a quarter of the vote. The New Hampshire primary is always interesting, but never deciding. One primary cannot be decisive. Caucuses don’t matter at all.
    1
  579. The FBI were involved in the investigation following the MAX crashes. There have been no fatalities since, unless you are counting Barnett. His death is still being investigated.

  583. People love the “t” word, but it isn’t treason. It’s espionage. Treason is an extremely rare crime. Bradley Manning wasn’t charged with treason.

    1
  591. It is gray hair.

  601. The FAA certify the design, not the planes, individually. They are now taking extra steps to ensure that the planes are built according to the certified design. They are doing their job as they should. Boeing is the only culprit here.

  604. She isn’t, but most people are not brilliant. She should get over it and just learn to be a decent person.
    1
  605. Civil suits are generally about money damages. The reason a defamation suit is brought is because it has caused financial injury. Settlements are normal in such cases. The amount of this settlement is clear vindication for Dominion’s position.

  609. It’s a strange world where medicine gets politicized. My generation was the first to get the Salk polio vaccine as children. Believe me, anti-vaccine nuts were unheard of then. Everybody lined up to get the vaccine. Jonas Salk was a revered figure. Hating on doctors is just bizarre. Fauci haters need another kind of doctor — a shrink.

  625. The idea is to prevent the ship from hitting the bridge or its foundation by surrounding the footing with an energy-absorbing fender which slows and deflects the ship.

Your assertion is ofno value without a link to backit up. This is what the Emergency Committee said in their 1st meeting on 23 January: “It is expected that further international exportation of cases may appear in any country. Thus, all countries should be prepared for containment, including active surveillance, early detection, isolation and case management, contact tracing and prevention of onward spread of 2019-nCoV infection, and to share full data with WHO.”

  683. Murders and rapes are, in fact, down in Oakland. Some prooerty crimes are up. It's complicated. The reason we want to recall Mayor Thao isn't just the crime statistics. I'm voting to recall her because she fired the Chief of Police, and refused to reinstate him when he won in arbitration. It looks like we may have a whole new reason to recall her now, though.

  699. Dave Fiano — Drama! Minimum sentences are not appropriate for this class of crime. Judges are experts at determining sentences and they should be free to do what we pay them to do. Laughlin may, indeed, get five years if convicted, but if so it will be because the judged has weighed her case against all of the others, taking into account aggravating and mitigating factors, and reached a judgment.

  710. Sute it could have flown without them. If the springs aren't strong enough to lift the door clear of the stops, then the stops will retain the door. A jolt from turbulence could lift the door free, but at cruising altitude, the pressure differential would be greater, so the friction against the stops would be greater and a stronger jolt would be required. What seems to have happened is the plane entered turbulence at a lower altitude.

  719. This is not complicated at all. You seem to be waffling, reluctant to put Serena in her place for her disgraceful conduct. I don’t understand why the mainstream news outlets are so timid. The conduct of the chair umpire was impeccable. He called the coaching violation because it was blatant, as videos have shown. If everyone does this in that manner, it seems odd that no one has produced a clip of another coach doing a similar thing. There may be a lot of signalling going on but I’ll bet it is more subtle. It isn’t necessary that Williams be in on the signalling in order to receive the warning, but if she had no prearranged signals as she said, why would a coach use signals the player would not be familiar with? The initial warning did not carry a penalty. The only reasonable thing for Williams to do would have been to resume play after at most a brief, respectful comment. Then came the racquet abuse violation. This was flagrant and had to be called. Williams pretended not to know that there was a point penalty attached because she thought she had won her earlier argument with the umpire. Where did she get that idea? How long has she been playing professional tennis? Next the harangue. This was pathetic and difficult to listen to. Yet Ramos listened patiently waiting for Williams to say the magic words “liar” and “thief.” That was a personal attack on the umpire, hence a verbal abuse code violation and a game penalty as required by the rules. It doesn’t matter that other players have said worse things. All that matters is that it was a personal attack on the umpire. Then, after the match, Williams pretended to make nice to Osaka (for public consumption) and then bumped her in passing. I’ve seen this more than once before and believe it was deliberate, but even if it was not it indicates lack of respect for Osaka by being in a rush to get some last words in to the umpire instead of giving her room to get past. Finally, the press room. Sanctimonious deflection by Williams and the press seemed to eat it up. Applause? From reporters? I wanted to hear one reporter say: “Ms. Williams, have you no shame?” Williams is 100% wrong and it seems that only independent reporters on blogs are willing to say so.

The driver may have been looking to the right to see if the road was clear, then proceeded before rechecking to the left. There is good visibility to the left, so she must have not been paying careful attention.
