I'd have some Black Sabbath downloaded onto my phone, just in case. Or just yell 'Hail, Satan'. A lot.

Do you think passengers will also be allowed to have a portable speaker eg MegaBlast and play some loud rap track.

Or some shouty, clapping, black spiritual, gospel music.

I'm surprised noone has just told them to sit down and shut the fuck up with their evangelical bullshit.

Thanks for the new thread, @Spandauer. Great name once again!

We're in the US and one thing I've noticed really for the first time is lots of people complaining about COL, particularly around grocery shopping, and blaming tariffs. We're in New England at the moment.

So not blaming Trump then ?

Could it be they have failed to notice whose idea the tariffs were and are and always have been?

Pretty sure they were Joe Bidens thing and Trump was just putting things right again.

Will be what some may say.

You could be right; but I think a few who are not wedded to Trump's cult might not blame Biden for things he didn't do. Possibly quite a lot who are not in Trump's cult. Some of the polls that are coming out now seem to show a surprising degree of disillusion with the fart even among the MAGA mob.

No disillusioned enough to do anything though.

Fauci has invoked the fifth in the Covid hearing.

No use arguing with stupid.

We don't know that yet.

Was he in any jeopardy ?

He was pardoned by Biden wasn't he?

Covid hearing ?

Let me guess. This is a repug one set up to investigate people they don't like, and they found all the incriminating evidence on Hunter Biden's laptop ?

Covid origins hearing conducted by Rand Paul

Just came across this.

TL;DR - back in 2025 the EU (so the UK was on the sidelines) flexed it's muscles.

Rand Paul. The Libertarian who works in Government. I aways thought that was a bit of a paradox.

My down the MAGA rabbit hole relative would always mention Fauci when talking about how awful vaccines, lock downs and generally protecting ourselves . Didn't have a good word to say.. He was apparently the devil incarnate.

I wouldn't answer questions at this witch trial either if I was him.

He sounds like he has no fucks left to give

In his opening statement, Fauci said Paul has an "obvious obsession with calling for my prosecution."
"The only conclusion I can reach is that the sole reason he is calling me before this committee is to prompt me to say something, anything, that could vindicate his repeated public pledges that I end up, in his words, ‘behind bars.'"

links are not working well for me

He sounds as though he has his head screwed on.

I think he always has had!

Yeah, Paul has been 'after' Fauci since the Pandemic began because Fauci told the truth about the Administration's failings in dealing with it properly.

I'm not sure where you got that from?

I mean, I haven't sat them down and done a focus group, but I don't think I know anyone who's sympathetic to Trump, so I would imagine they know where the tariffs are coming from, It's just the first time I've heard people talking about it having a direct and noticeable impact.
