Sooooo, the Boeing engineers designed the 737 Max with heavier engines, that changes it's aerodynamics, which then needs software to correct it?

Is this another major fu*kup like the Hubble Space Telescope.

Airline pilots on at least two US flights have reported that an automated system seemed to cause their Boeing 737 Max planes to tilt down suddenly.

The pilots said that soon after engaging the autopilot on Boeing 737 Max 8 planes, the nose tilted down sharply. In both cases, they recovered quickly after disconnecting the autopilot.

The drawing didnt mention the CG changed. Thats a major issue. Why cargo is weighed and distributed, etc. This is a major upper mgmt/design f up to just mod stupid software patches without other physical changes like in artificial ballasting, etc. ( not acceptable to customers though). Combine the autopilot patch AOA compensation with an inexperienced 200 hr pilot = disaster.

“For O’Rourke, what followed was a near-mystical experience. “I don’t ever prepare a speech,” he says. “I don’t write out what I’m going to say. I remember driving to that, I was, like, ‘What do I say? Maybe I’ll just introduce myself. I’ll take questions.’ I got in there, and I don’t know if it’s a speech or not, but it felt amazing. Because every word was pulled out of me. Like, by some greater force, which was just the people there. Everything that I said, I was, like, watching myself, being like, How am I saying this stuff? Where is this coming from?”

Sounds like a true innovator and future clueless leader. Kinda like AOC.

Hard labor for a few years breaking up boulders into sand in the desert 6am-6pm should reform anyone.

Right. And they should be too tired to cause much trouble. Until they get out of prison and can't find a job breaking rocks.

Some people are just terrible, some people need help.

The UK’s ‘No Deal’ Parliament Has Betrayed Britain...

When a majority of the population voted to leave, but a majority of their elected officials DON'T want to leave, you get this ridiculous situation...

Since they don't listen to what the people want, then it's time for a NOT too peaceful revolution against these SOB Politicians...

"WAY before he was famously-a-criminal for anything else, Trump scandalized the NYC real estate scene by building with ready-mix concrete instead of more modern materials - ready-mix being controlled by the Gambino and Genevese families. His lawyer Roy Cohn was consigliere."

That he did. Which is why those of us who remember back then are pretty sure he was mobbed up.

Good old fashioned mob hit - those families have been awfully quiet for a long time. Genovese was always big in NJ. I went to school with the daughter (niece?) of a “famous” mobster / hit victim.

Salvatore (Bill) Bonanno was a regular customer back when I was a waiter... almost always cheerful and chatty.

Look up “Sally Bugs” - believed to have been responsible for “disappearing” Hoffa. Girl I knew in school was very nice - kept to herself for the most part, very polite and pleasant to everyone. I’ve always wondered how much she knew about “family business” back then.

Paul Manafort is going to prison for lobbying without the proper paperwork while he worked for Bill and Hillary Clinton.

Lanny Davis was his partner and was allowed to file the proper paperwork retroactively and represent M. Cohen.

Are YOU Next?

TL;DR

Think the Paul Manafort persecution is OK because “He’s a sleaze?”

..What if it happens to you? What if you come to the wrong person’s attention by supporting the “wrong” candidate? Do you Bernie supporters have any doubt that a President Hillary Clinton would hesitate to use the full force of the law to come after you?

House Republicans and Democrats vote for public release of Mueller report, pressuring DOJ

The House voted overwhelmingly on Thursday to pass a measure calling for the Justice Department to release special counsel Robert Mueller's report to the public, an effort to increase pressure on the agency ahead of the expected conclusion of the probe into Russian meddling into the 2016 election.

All told, 420 members – 230 Democrats and 190 Republicans – voted for the resolution. Four Republicans voted present, and eight members (five Democrats and three Republicans) didn’t vote.

Beto just doesn't do it for me.
He seems like the kind of guy that should be working at Best Buy instead of running for president.

They should also release all the documents for the FBI investigation of Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump.

This is the man that does it for me for President.

President McRaven has a nice ring to it
If only he would run.

Can you see him working with Congress and our Allies? I can.

Just Imagine a President with real Honor and Dignity.

Beto Beto Beto. Gonna make American Great Again, pre Trump years. Where we had white picket fences, milk delivered in glass bottles to our door, the Obama years. Where neighbors looked out for one another. You have to watch out for those mild (looking) mannered types.

What is he going to do to the competition, kill em all

There is no escape and that's for sure
This is the end, we won't take anymore
Say goodbye to the world you live in
You've always been taking and now you're giving

Senate votes to block Trump’s ‘emergency’ at border; veto looms
The Senate voted Thursday to block President Trump’s declaration of a national emergency intended to allow funding of a border wall with a dozen GOP senators going against the White House. Trump said he would veto the measure, which passed the House by a large margin last month.

The final margin was 59-41. Republican senators voting for the resolution and against Trump were Susan Collins of Maine, Lisa Murkowski of Alaska, Roy Blunt of Missouri, Lamar Alexander of Tennessee, Pat Toomey of Pennsylvania, Kentucky's Rand Paul, Rob Portman of Ohio, Marco Rubio of Florida, Jerry Moran of Kansas, Roger Wicker of Mississippi, and Mitt Romney and Mike Lee of Utah.

Trump spent Thursday morning on Twitter attempting to pressure Republicans to back him on the issue.
