I don't think they ever supported Trump or today's RW congressional nonsense, but they lapped up what that a'hole had to say during his time on Fox.

The husband has since passed and today I talk "dogs" (and weather) to the wife and that is about it.

Tue Apr 19, 2022, 07:30 PM
Apr 2022

Older being entering middle age. I read constantly, especially history. The more I read and accumulate knowledge, the more critical I become of "pop history" books from various media personalities or pop historians. I'll just flip things open at random in a bookstore or glance at an article online and think, "No. Wrong. Wrong again. Not even slightly close."

It's one thing if it's just some rando online, but published books in stores isn't good. I was on a plane once and somehow started reading through a Larry Elder book my neighbor offered. Just yikes.

All I remember from the rare occasion I saw him for a few minutes on his old show was his big oversized gold (and diamonds, I guess) ring on his finger as he rudely pointed his damned index finger at the tv monitor. Anger management was clearly never his forte'. Combined with his limitless narcissism, a truly toxic combo.

safety issue, and said mechanics without violating any flight safety rules had to work on the plane to make it safe, so that said mechanic's do not end up in jail and get charged with either manslaughter or murder and if it was weather related dickhead, it was because there was a fucking system ripping through the region and they had to wait until the FAA or the TRACON center said it was okay and the pilots and crew had to wait for clearance for there safety and yours or they had to wait for a crew that had to be in compliance to the rules of flying and were not over the duty hours ....if you want to to know what TRACON means its
Consolidated Terminal RADAR Approach Control, so that your Jet Blue flight if it had to be diverted it would be safe to land .....

He takes it out on the folks at the gate. I suppose he is traveling on first class, but I find it reassuring to see him humiliating himself traveling the same way the rest of us travel, albeit not in first class. It’s still the same fucking airplane on the same fucking airline.

Fuck you Bill Orally.
