Coming into Jackson, Mississippi

Bringing in a couple of keys

Don’t check my bag, if you please,

Let's put this in a way Harris Faulker would understand:

A rich Fox News personality books two weeks in an Italian Villa and has a wonderful vacation. Upon returning home, the personality discovers she won't land at JFK or LaGuardia or Newark or Reagan or Philly or BWI or Logan, since those are in DOJ-designated sanctuary cities or sanctuary states.

She'll land at Dulles. A four and a half hour drive from Manhattan.

Let's not overlook the fact that international flights require physical differences in the airport, too. How are these red state airports going to suddenly build customs processing, isolated baggage transfer facilities (so bags aren't accidentally imported onto US soil), longer runways, enough room for larger planes at the gates, expanded fueling facilities...

And have they mentioned cargo flights at all?

The MAGA crowd claims to be patriotic, but is it really patriotic to beggar your fellow Americans just because you don't like their politics? Isn't the whole point of belonging to a national community supposed to be ummm..."fraternity"? I think Texas is foolish to impose the death penalty so often and to have loose gun control laws, but I don't think that we should effectively close Dallas' airport to international travel because of that. So why propose it for Newark and Boston?

Re: World Cup, FIFA is also destroying it with their greed.

FIFA has been doing that for decades

Things like this remind me of that "G.I. Joe" episode where Cobra almost won because they hacked into the system and promoted Shipwreck up to a ranking officer.

"This idea is too stupid. They'll never do it."

I stopped believing that in 2017. The more stupid the idea, the more likely they are to do it.

I almost hope they go through with it. People still haven't caught on after forty years that right-wingers are only capable of corruption and fucking the economy. Maybe if they get bopped on the noggin enough some of them might learn a thing.

Despite the already long flight of 9 hours, I'd be happy to fly a couple more hours, and then drive several hours to where I intended to be.

Despite his short stature, Markwayne Mullin wants to let you know he is a big tough guy.

Terminally stupid.

At least Lubbock probably has some Buddy Holly stuff that might be worth visiting.

MarkWayne is standing on a box, so he looks taller at a political debate!

On top of standing on a box, he's wearing "Lifts on his shoes!

That's how he stands his butt up.

Having dessert with a college friend, watching the television in the bar where one of these idiots is pontificating.

Her: “Why did I even bother getting my master’s in policy and planning if all I had to do was dye my hair and get fillers?”

Me: “Don’t look at me. I got my MPH instead of doing lines of coke off a toilet seat.”

Pause.

Her: “And you didn’t even get a dead animal road trip story out of it.”

Could not have imagined this conversation when we were so young and naive at our graduation… in 2019.

....oh yeah...I can just see the look on the face of a person traveling from Loudon to NY....and then realizing that their flight has been rerouted to Bumfu*k Idaho.....yeah, good job Markwayne (who the fu*k names their kid a stupid name like that ?) Mullet Brain.....

....Harris Faulkner...I hope you were reading off cue cards....if not...there is a place for you in the Guinness World Records as one of, if not the most stupid people alive....

I dunno, ridiculous shit like this that will never come to fruition because logistics exist always makes me wonder what it's distracting us from THIS time.

We're not attacking Oman right now, are we?

Smart money is on Cuba, next. Either on June 14 or July 4.

Wokey McWokeface's avatar

The invasion of Poland and France went so well, surely Stalingrad will be over before winter.

Dina's avatar

But what's going to happen 𝘯𝘰𝘸, when everyone is losing their shit over the announcements of this stupid plan or trump's face on money? That's two in the past few days, I can't help but have the feeling something's a-brewing.

VwllssWndr's avatar

These people aren't big planners. They act on vibes and instinct. It's equally likely there's organized obfuscation as there is that they just wake up and say "We're attacking Cuba today" a few days after announcing we're putting Trump's face on money.

I don't think you can get too carried away on that subject
