Goddammit. It's my moronic senator behind that. Figures. I'm not sure he reaches Tuberville or Inhofe levels of stupid, but he is a terrible person.
Ms Greene is apparently unaware that human beings have sex, and thus is astonished when she discovered the younger Biden engaging.
"If Russia is listening right now..."
"Stand back, and stand by..."
Yeah, he's not even subtle about it.
I don't know if it's technical detail translating poorly into journalism, but from reading up on it, I don't believe it was just a sensor deploying at the wrong time. It was a sensor providing flight stability critical information with no tri-mode redundancy built in (sold secondarily as a "safety mechanism" reporting incorrectly, causing MCAS to react fatally.
I think that "sensor with no redundancy" is a pretty important fact.
I think that's basically the argument that just puts blinders on and assumes everything is perfect and why pretend otherwise. A comment I've read that I think has some merit is that they didn't put an end to legacy admissions, bias for donors, employee families, and other special recommendations. These are all systems that favor class and are predominantly white. So why did the justices pretend that admissions are all based around merit and achievement when they are not?
If more were being done about the systemic causes, then I think there would be less frustration with this decision. Since we clearly have quite a long way to go on the systemic issues, this ruling is pretty naive in my view.
He hasn't looked deeply into Robert F Kennedy Jr then... both would be absolute disasters.
Yes, apparently firing was 'enough' /s

As I said in another post, I believe Justice Roberts is trying to haul the reins back from the stampeding conservafascists. Not that his own tendencies don't lie that way, but he's widely reported as caring about his legacy, and right now the reputation of SCOTUS for corruption and poor decisions seems to me to be at an all time high. (That is to say, I'm not a deep SCOTUS scholar, just an observer -- there might be a time when the organization was worse.)
I honestly don't know. Nothing Alito or Thomas has said recently has made any sort of logical or philosophical sense. I think Roberts is trying to preserve some semblance of legacy of unbias with the current court reputation which is why I think he's sided the past few cases where he has.
This is tough since it's a part of the executive branch and as a result not wholly independent of who is in office. It'd be nice to have a wholly impartial investigation organization, but even then it's still staffed with humans, all with their own virtues and vices, perspectives and prejudices.
It was, in fact, hilarious.
I wish it were "against all odds" but by my observations, the probabilities are a lot higher than I would like.
