Conservatives don’t seem to want to refer to peoples’ titles of “doctor” if they don’t respect the person. Recall the whole Dr Jill Biden kerfuffle. Part of their whole anti-intellectual shtick.

doesn’t he also have a PhD? That earns one title of doctor. Many people don’t realize that it seems. ETA: From his Wikipedia page:

Depends how often one flies. These kinds of statistics ( and you provided now sources so I can’t know for sure) are usually averaged over such large swaths of parameter space they aren’t useful for predictions. ETA: I admit one can die in an airplane crash without ever flying, but that’s even...

I was out of town visiting my mother last weekend and had lunch with a relative who is in the right. She basked me about boys playing in girls sports and unforgivably it wasn’t until after the trip that I really came up with the best responses. I am not used to talking to people face to face on...

Surely Ted Cruz, who was so righteously offended that his phone records were gotten by Jack Smith, will come to her defense.

Modern politics has proven that is all that matters some of the time. trump being a great example. And now that trump has proven to not uphold the policies he claimed he did perhaps his prior voters might consider someone else who espouses those policies.

Thats why we need to know who gave them the permissions. Was it the NPS? Or just the White House. In my case the contractor would know if it was the appropriate city authority (permit office) or just some politician on the city board who was my buddy. Perhaps if they don’t get considered...

So he would rather admit that someone else in the white house is giving commands to the military instead of him? That somehow makes him look better? Stable genius indeed 🙄

based on what he is quoted to have said in that article it seems he should appeal to the “America First” Trump crowd because he doesn’t want to support foreign countries or get into wars and to spend money on America. Isn’t that what they claim they want?

He picks only the best people according to himself.

Did she last less than one scaramucci?

I believe the Animaniacs did that with The Who, Yes, and maybe even The Band. I haven’t seen it in a very long time but perhaps it can be found on YouTube. ETA: found it.

If it was the NPS that gave approval despite the judge’s order then perhaps they are indeed responsible. I just don’t think the government will hold itself accountable so perhaps the contractors need to be punished as “accomplices” to discourage other contractors from participating in and thus...

My contractor had to get a permit from the city before even modifying my kitchen, which included minor changes to electric outlets and plumbing. I don't know what, if anything, "official" came down to these contractors, so we should find that out before we assume that there was anything...

So it is ok to break the law if you don’t know you are breaking the law? Does the company have any due diligence to check if what they are doing has the appropriate legal approvals? I would imagine that this kind of thing would require permits but I could be wrong.
