    that last part is eternal's job

    All are welcome!!!!

    To reply to your attempt at understanding the twisted menopausal mind of Squissy... 

    Regarding how perhaps it doesn't look good putting in a hiring freeze on ATCs prior to this accident does directly lead to the question of whether the ones currently employed are good enough.   It's not like it was a new hire in the tower, right? 

    That directly leads to the discussion about how FAA not hiring based on merit might just be a bad thing.

    Squissy can't bring up ATCs in his TRUMP!!!! gotcha  tweet and then take umbrage when folks start discussing the obvious follow up regarding ATC competence.

    FWIW, this article was from last February...

    "These efforts follow on work that reportedly started under the Obama Administration when the agency shockingly sought out applicants with ‘severe intellectual’ and ‘psychiatric’ disabilities to staff the agency responsible for air traffic control, aviation safety, major airports, commercial space regulation, and security and hazardous materials safety," the letter states.

    Goes well with the FAFO queue.

    At first I just typed FIFO but I figured folks would misconstrue it as a typo for FAFO so I added in "queue".

    Computer references make the b1tches HORNAY!!!!  :banana:

    It's called a rotation. 30,000 at a time. You take them there first, then when you dump them on the rest of the world, you fill it up again. All the while you are slingshooting them back over into Mexico. Just keep your head down and keep throwing them out and then at the end of the day, we can do the counts. 

    It's a FIFO queue :thumbsup:

    Steers and LGBTQ? 

    Where is the LGBTQ part of this in the above OP?

    It's a take on the "Steers and Queers" line from an Officer and a Gentleman you stupid coont.   

    Nice use of large font, btw, to really show how upset you are.

    So......I think the board agrees that deporting violent criminals, and those with outstanding deportation orders, is the right thing to do.   I agree that there will probably eventually become push back from this country when it comes to removing folks that have been here for years and haven't really caused issues.   That's yet to be seen but I would expect it.

    That being said, there is a bigger picture here.  And I have said it countless times.  It's more than just removing those here.  It's about sending a message.  For the past 4 years, the message has been come on in.  We will house you, give you free stuff, give you sanctuary.  I mean that's actual incentive to come.  The message now is you are not welcome if you come here illegally.  Add to that many illegals are self deporting.  Can we even track that number?  I don't know.  

    No, it is not going to 100% eliminate those that want to try. But it is going to reduce it, significantly.   The message is as important as the actions we are taking.   And I want that message to continue to be repeated over and over.  I like it when the media covers this stuff.  It furthers the message that if you wanna come here, you better do it right.  Do it wrong and there's a good chance you have ruined any future opportunity to come here legally.

    C'mon man!  The former border czar CLEARLY told them not to come here! :nono:

    So... you struggled?  :o

    Also, the boyfriend sounds like a keeper.  Improve the gene pool and all.  😉

     

    Oh I know the rules.  Just kept getting dealt sh1t. 9s and 10s ain't going to get it done. :cry:

    We do like this one, and we were impressed at how quickly he picked up the game.  First time we met him was at a brewery so we taught him euchre to keep the conversation light while we played.  Didn't even need to talk much about strategy before he was holding his own.

    I told my daughter I would officially adopt him if they break up as he's also a helluva cook.  Prepared Christmas dinner for us - prime rib, etc - as well as a surprise dinner for me on my bday - t-bone steaks and mussels.  :thumbsup:

    Never played cribbage.  Euchre is a very Michigan card game.  It's a "trump" game as well; winning!  :D

     

    I almost made a similar TRUMP 🤬 comment about Euchre.

    We played it in Western NY as well.   Taught our kids to play along w their SOs.  Good indicator if they are dipshi1ts if they struggle to pick up the rules.

    Sadly our daughter and her boyfriend kicked our asses when we were playing this past weekend.

    I could see a place for them.  imagine the shock and awe when fundamentalist muslims are first confronted with an assault force of trannies in full plummage twerking their way towards them on the battlefield.  The confusion would so disorient them that they would be easy prey for a few sharp shooters.

    Yep, they'll be easy targets when they're exposed tossing them off the nearest rooftop.

    Gas and garbage disposal fees in CA.  Way below minimum wage. 

    That assuming they didn't just drive around the block and dump all that sh1t in someone else's empty lot.
