LadySkinsFan Posted June 5, 2017 Share Posted June 5, 2017 If the air traffic controllers are privatized, I hope that they form a union. President won't be able to fire them. My dad was an air traffic controller, at National and was in the first group of controllers at Dulles. He retired a bit before Reagan fired the striking controllers. He had some horror stories about that job: guys having heart attacks in their thirties, the stress, near accidents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mistertim Posted June 5, 2017 Share Posted June 5, 2017 Trump's staff need to start treating him like a poorly trained dog and carry around a spray bottle to squirt him whenever he reaches for his phone to tweet. It really isn't that much of a stretch since, according to many accounts, they essentially have to treat him like a child already. But it seems even that was giving him too much credit.

FanboyOf91 Posted June 5, 2017 Share Posted June 5, 2017 The issues behind Qatar: Quote Saudi Arabia withdrew its ambassador to Doha from 2002 to 2008 to try to pressure Qatar to curb its individualistic tendencies. This approach broadly failed too. Saudi Arabia and the UAE, the leaders of this current move, will not want to fail again. And their position is strong, while Qatar's is weak. Saudi Arabia and the UAE are emboldened. Leading the intervention in Yemen in 2015 displayed a newfound desire to truly lead on matters of regional security. And the UAE has, not least with a decade's operations alongside Isaf forces in Afghanistan, forged a reputation for itself as one of the US's most reliable Arab partners. Then President Trump unprecedentedly took his first foreign visit to Saudi Arabia, and signed the largest weapons deal in history. The only real card that Qatar holds with Washington is that it has, since the early 1990s, hosted a critical US base at al-Udeid. But this may no longer be enough. Other Gulf states may stand ready to replace this key base, though the logistics of this would not be straightforward. The argument to President Trump may be compelling: with US help, Qatar might be persuaded to evict Hamas leadership from Doha and genuinely cut back on funding Islamist groups. It seems that the time of Qatar's individualistic foreign policy may be up. OTOH: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DogofWar1 Posted June 5, 2017 Share Posted June 5, 2017 https://mobile.twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/871722020278587393 Note: He has not even nominated the vast majority of the people a President generally would. This is going to be one of those teachable moments where we will either look back and say the 25th should have been invoked before we even started discussing impeachment, or we won't look back at all (either because history books will be written so as to warp what has happened, or, because we won't have history books at all).

They've been mostly accurate... Not gonna believe that one unless there are multiple independent places that have heard it from those sources. That's a pretty damn serious subject. Besides, why would they leak it anyway? That isn't something they'd want the press to know. Unless the sources involved are trying to get someone else fired (which is always possible in this goat rodeo of a White House). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
