Sooooo, like are they still paid through JAG? Because that seems like a huge conflict of interest to have your employment tied to a side in a conflict you’re judging.
I like politics, beer and smoking meat. I own many bottles of fine bourbon and rye whiskey. I’ve read a book. I moved to NorCal after living in Dallas for 45 years. I moved because Texas sucks. P1. Stars, Rangers, and the Cowboys. I’m a Lakers fan now

When you know there will never be another free election, the political pressure to act in your constituents best interests vanishes.

The "fuck your feelings" crowd who made the word "snowflake" into a pejorative comment sure are tingly in their feelings about a corporate rebranding decision.

Oh now we are deplaning. This flight was fully boarded and now we are getting everyone off. This is a fucking joke.
Whiskey Sam (@whiskeysam.bsky.social) reply parent
Update: no kidding here, we just boarded our flight - everyone is on board - and some nuck-nuck crew member broke off a fuel gauge inside the wing or some shit. So another 90 minutes sitting on a fully loaded aircraft.

Update. We still have no plane for a flight that was supposed to board two hours ago. The first leg of this one-stop flight from SFO to Pittsburgh left almost 24 hours ago. This airline is a disaster.
Whiskey Sam (@whiskeysam.bsky.social) reply parent
These jokers are telling passengers we are going to board in 14 minutes. There’s no plane at the gate.

To continue this tragedy, my connecting flight from DFW to Pittsburgh, which was rescheduled because it rained a little at DFW yesterday and shut the airport down, isn’t at the gate yet. It was supposed to board 45 minutes ago.

Hey @jaketapper.bsky.social - work this into your “Trump is in severe cognitive decline” piece you’re clearly working on. This dude is delusional. Needs to be medicated and cared for.
Whiskey Sam (@whiskeysam.bsky.social) reply parent
@jaketapper.bsky.social - seriously bro, any time you’re ready for that “cognitive decline” piece, it’s basically writing itself for you.
Whiskey Sam (@whiskeysam.bsky.social)
I think I’m through with @americanair.bsky.social Traveling from SFO to Pittsburgh shouldn’t take 36 hours. And then price corrections for the absolutely fucked up flight ends up being a voucher that the customer has to handle. Like fucking Target can process a refund. This airline sucks.

When learning about concentration camps as a kid in the 80s, I sure as shit never thought Ronald Reagan’s party would open one and then sell merch promoting their new concentration camp. We’re like four lines deep into the “then they came for..” poem. It’s not a long poem.

My kid is having a bit of a depressive episode and we're getting him some help. It makes me kind of jealous that kids of this generation have their problems validated and treated. When I was a teen, depression was treated with suggestions to "cheer up" or to drink some Miller Lite about it

It doesn't matter if he had a DV order entered against him. It doesn't matter if he WAS in MS13. It doesn't matter if he murdered 20 people on video. If the most basic process rights of charges and a hearing with the presumption of innocence do not apply to everybody, then they apply to nobody.
