Funny you should say that, because Senator Kennedy was just on FOX News calling VP Harris a “ding dong”

I’m sure your chief pilot will educate you about it at some point.

If the airline uses a preferential bidding system, the FOs have the ability to bid avoid specific captains. It doesn’t work the other way. Adam says it’s because Captains should be able to fly with anyone. That may be how it works at his airline, but at our airline it’s simply designed that way for programming reasons. The Captain’s bids are run first so there’s no FOs for the Captains to avoid yet. Once the Captain’s bids are processed, the FO’s bids are run. Because the Captains are on the schedule at this point, bid avoid bids are now active for the FOs to use if they want. Also, let’s say a Captain were to bid avoid an FO but the FO has no avoid bids. That could prevent an FO from being awarded a trip even though they asked for it. That said, it usually takes more than “uncomfortable subjects” for a Captain to make an FO’s no-fly list. Pilots can handle conversation. It usually comes down to “personality clashes” (for lack of a better term). Whatever the FO’s reason(s), all they need to avoid that Captain is their seniority number.

It cracks me up how lefties, especially female lefties, flipped out and lost their cool over a gender neutral putdown roughly equivalent to doofus.

There are zero limits to what can be said about a male politician. They can find themselves randomly accused of rape at the drop of a hat. Comedians are allowed to joke on TV about beheading them. Crowds at sporting events can chant "Fuck (insert name of male politician)". But heaven forbid an insult that elementary schoolers call each other should be applied to a female politician!

Sheesh. How can she run a country when she can't be even lightly criticized without the media crying racism or sexism? Is she really that frail and in need of protecting from the political fray she willingly leapt into?

Should they just call her the N word? I’m sure you would be fine with that.

The only way to hamstring it is for their "devil" to reign. Just like Obergefell broke the back of the Christian Right. If you're an extremist who believes a world governed by politicians to the right of McCain is automatically like hell, and if said politicians do govern for prolonged periods of time and there's nothing you can do about it, then the only escape will be to find something else to believe in. And many of those who aren't too far gone will do exactly this.

The Trump campaign pretty much shot the sails out  from under Kamala by stopping the 24/7 racial pandering, forcing MSM to actually address the lack of policy gravitas associated with Kamala. I'm not sure this was a smart move though, as it's entirely possible the Democrat Convention can call for an open primary, paving the way for a competent candidate that will actually have a chance at defeating an assassination survivor. It's possible that Trump is peaking this too early, despite denying a formal debate date.

Trump wasn't a panderer in the first place. He did, however, dare to lay a finger on one of their sacred cows, which was the reverence they assigned to the fact of VP Harris's race and sex. It was worth doing, but unfortunately most people have been conditioned to side with the media on this and against Trump. It's going to hurt him more than it helps.

forcing MSM to actually address the lack of policy gravitas associated with Kamala

That doesn't matter when they can just scrub the internet of evidence of her shortcomings.

For example, in March of 2021 Biden gave the following speech:


He tasked VP Harris with "lead(ing) our efforts with Mexico and the Northern Triangle and the countries that help — are going to need help in stemming the movement of so many folks, stemming the migration to our southern border..And so, this increase has been consequential, but the Vice President has agreed — among the multiple other things that I have her leading — and I appreciate it — agreed to lead our diplomatic effort and work with those nations to accept re- — the returnees, and enhance migration enforcement at their borders — at their borders. We’re already talking with Mexico about that; she’s already done that.  We’re going to be dealing with a full team now that we have to be able to deal with the problem here at home, but also to deal with it now in terms of in country.  And I can think of nobody who — who is better qualified to do this than a former — this is a woman who ran the second-largest attorney general’s office in America — after the U.S. — after the United States Attorney General — in the state of California, and has done a great deal upholding human rights, but also fighting organized crime in the process. So it’s not her full responsibility and job, but she’s leading the effort because I think the best thing to do is to put someone who, when he or she speaks, they don’t have to wonder about is that where the President is.  When she speaks, she speaks for me.  Doesn’t have to check with me.  She knows what she’s doing, and I hope we can move this along."

While it would be an exaggeration to say she was placed in charge of the entire border, she was given a fairly significant responsibility pertaining to it. A month afterward, Axios (a left-leaning publication) thought it reasonable to describe this appointment as making her Biden's "border czar", though the term is unofficial and subjective.


Recently Axios retracted this article and said it was a case of faulty reporting. But the mainstream media is making it sound like only Republicans were ever calling VP Harris the border czar, and doesn't want the public to know she was in fact given an appointment prominent enough for one of their own outlets to ascribe the role to her.
I managed to find this, so it wasn't truly scrubbed, but I put in more effort here than the average voter would. Most just take CNN's word for it without doing their own research.

To list another example, in 2020 govtrack gave then-Senator Harris a "report card" scoring her as the most liberal US Senator for 2019. Of 471 bills that she cosponsored, only 15% were introduced by a non-Democrat. Only 8 of her 54 bills and resolutions got a cosponsor from the other party.


All this points to her being heavily partisan and not a moderate who could unite both sides of the aisle. But since this is an inconvenient truth, just a few days ago govtrack did in fact purge the article from their servers.


Of course, they gave their excuses as to why this supposedly needed to be done, but bottom line was they didn't want evil right wingers using those pesky facts to their advantage.

No doubt, the gaslighting machine is fueled and ready. But if the media can't prop up Kamala with the race card without pushback, then they are forced to invent accomplishments. Failure to do so will automatically link Kamala's "accomplishments" with Biden's failure to promote his administration's accomplishments. (which is probably going to happen anyway among independents)

The worst thing that can happen for Trump is if Trump wastes time or money attacking Kamala and she isn't even going to be the one chosen at the convention.

You think Trump ever had policy gravitas? No he does not. He’s the ding dong.

But you would be happy if they called her the N word, right?

That word lost all credibility and weight a decade ago, by virtue of being overused to death as a descriptor for everything under the sun that Democrats happen to not like (e.g. the nuclear family). Try again.
