If it had been Netanyahu instead of Bush after 9-11, Iraq would probably still be a crater right now, this man is able to sell war and oppression like it’s no one’s business. It’s a shame that the Middle East is such a circlejerk of nations competing to do the same.
It was verified by another passenger, Trump just got the name wrong. He’s probably also exaggerating the situation for dramatic purposes
The helicopter needed to land because of turbulence and instrument malfunctions. Ithey weren’t in risk of crashing. Shortly beforehand, there had been a helicopter crash in the area, which influenced the pilot to take “safety first” landing. Trump went right into another helicopter to continue his journey…
Anyway, I fully understand the need to land and why passengers including Trump were scared shitless, but it’s really nothing to brag about.
I almost got hit by a car yesterday. It was on the road and I was on the pavement. Close call.
i feel like these athletes need to have a plan B for real jobs.
the olympics have been bastardized into a corporate for-profit orgy. theres no honor in these games. its sad that these humans who feel they are accomplishing something dont see the truth; theyre just tools that can be discarded.
The comment was never not okay. It’s a comment. Don’t be mad that I thought to be more specific about my comment before you got a chance to take your bad day out on a random person. I suggest taking your crappy attitude somewhere else. I assure you, no satisfaction will be gained by talking to me.
i was expecting a discussion on the poisoning of the olympics by corporate entities, but all you did was point out it is 'new' as if that matters somehow
I assure you, no satisfaction will be gained by talking to me.
If that’s what you wanted, you should have been more specific instead of assuming a jab would have been the proper way to have a polite conversation. I’m glad to know you can get satisfaction out of playing with yourself online. ✌️

They are accomplishing something. It’s just not recognized by the greedy fuckwits exploiting their achievements for profit, other than for it’s ability to convince people to endure their bullshit in exchange for the chance to watch them.
I’m wondering about viewership this year. Nobody I know is watching or talking about the games. Besides what hits social media like the Turkish shooter.
It’s extremely popular. Every single business I’ve walked into has had it on the TV and all of my friend/family group chats and coworkers have been talking about it. It wouldn’t be making hundreds of millions in ad revenue if nobody was watching it.
You can’t win if you have a plan B. Especially in prestige events. Either the athlete is fully supported by their countries association or they hope to get top 30.

There were stories going around about how Trump claimed to have been in an emergency helicopter landing with Willie Brown, the (Black) former mayor of San Francisco. Willie Brown denied this.
So…I actually think the headline makes sense, and is kinda funny, but the context is definitely important — Trump confuses a short Black politician from SF with a tall Black politician from LA.
The other angle on the is that Kamala dated Willie brown, the man not in the helicopter, decades ago.
Trump is doing some weird rambling thing about his political opponent that he thinks makes him look good and her bad, but his racism has popped up and transposed the black people involved to “make it work” instead of what really happened.
Holden also connected with Brown on Thursday. “I said, ‘Willie, were you almost in a helicopter crash with Trump also?’ He said ‘No.’ I said, ‘I was the one, Willie.’”
Before he hung up with POLITICO, Holden assured a reporter that nobody discussed — let alone criticized — Kamala Harris as Trump claimed Brown did.
“He either mixed it up,” Holden said. “Or, he made it up. This was just too big to overlook. This is a big one. Conflating Willie Brown and me? The press is searching for the real story and they didn’t get it. You did.”
Over the phone Friday, Res said Trump liked to tell a joke about Holden on the helicopter — “you turned white,” he said. But she said it was Trump’s face that was white. “He was white as snow,” Holden added. “And he was scared shitless.”
Ah yes, another day, another horror done deliberately and maliciously by my government. Great. I hope everyone of those monsters that enabled this to happen die a horrible heat related death.
Not American but I just hope they don’t fire him as retaliation. Maybe he can’t be fired for some reason, or maybe he just isn’t afraid to speak the truth, idk. Just, the world needs more people like that.
