Trump's manifold faults & failings may distract US from the fact Trump's world-view bears similarity
to the familiar Rorschach test, patients imparting subjective interpretations to abstract art.
There are multiple interpretations / explanations for #3,104.
The Ockham's Razor explanation?
Trump stated it as he perceives it.
Ironic that our president, unmistakably a Baron von Münchhausen-scale liar
has attracted this level of notice #3,104 for candor.
It is a DC cliché that a "gaffe" means to tell the truth.
And it's silly season again

Odd how Trump would so soon admit the motive for the illegal attacks on Venezuela?
Of President Trump R5 #3,106 observed:
thank god

What is to hypocritical is that it is Israel that is most terrorist, with Menachem Begin blowing up the British peacekeepers in the King David Hotel.
The Palestinians are native liberation movement, so the most justified and least terrorist.
Barry Farber was a superlative New York radio personality in the 1960's. At least once Farber challenged his radio listeners to name any People ostensibly native to an area, that had not displaced a previous indigenous human population.
I can't pretend to duplicate Farber's encyclopedic command, but his assertion as I understood it was there is no present day exception.
It is a cliché injustice to punish the sons for the sins of the fathers.
How many previous generations are you willing to reference, before you deem a population legitimately native & entitled to call the area where they reside "homeland"?
Or do you believe such tenure does not accrue to successive generations?
edited to add:
My apology if this is the wrong thread ... cross-posted.
I totally disagree with Barry Farber.
There is no evidence of natural tribes "displacing" other tribes at all.
Displacing means either wiping them out of making them leave.
And native tribes almost never did either.
Instead they merged or split as they slowly moved away from the higher density areas.
The trade between Wester Hemisphere tribes shows they did not have the barriers that exist in hostile, over crowded places, like the Mideast.
And certainly no stigma is attacked to simply gaining land ownership through purchase.
For example, the Palestinians can trace back their land purchases for over 8000 years.
In contrast, the Israelis never paid for almost any land.

If you've seen the news abt the plane crash many are calling the pilot (who closed his eyes and abandoned his post) a hero while dumping on the young copilot who did her job to the very end

The NTSB hasn't even determined what caused the crash, yet people are already blaming 20-year-old Nathalia Filgueiras. The blatant misogyny is disgusting. She deserves respect, not baseless accusations. ENOUGH. | Justinthenickofcrime | Facebook

iirc radio traffic to ATC reported 10,000' per minute descent. That's less than 114 MPH by my math (worth a check?).
The shape of the impact crater provides clues about the angle of impact.

In 1955, a teenage boy from the Bronx had a dream that most fans could only imagine: meeting Marilyn Monroe.
His name was Peter Mangone, and he was so fascinated by Hollywood's biggest star that he sometimes skipped school to wait outside the Gladstone Hotel in Manhattan, hoping to catch a glimpse of her.
One day, his dream came true.
Marilyn stepped outside, recognized her young admirer, and did something wonderful. She smiled, waved, and invited him to follow along as she went shopping in New York City.
Peter had borrowed an 8mm movie camera from his older brother. For the next few hours, he captured something special.
There was no movie set, no director, and no carefully arranged studio scene. Just Marilyn walking through the streets, smiling at the camera, waving, and occasionally appearing lost in thought.
It was a rare glimpse of the woman behind the Hollywood legend.
Peter watched the footage after having it developed, but as the years passed, he believed the film was gone forever.
Then, in 2002, an extraordinary discovery changed everything.
While cleaning out their late father's belongings, Peter's brother found the old film tucked away in a box. Amazingly, it had survived in remarkable condition.
Nearly half a century later, Peter could see those unforgettable moments again.
He described the feeling as being like finding his high school sweetheart after fifty years.
The rediscovered footage eventually became part of a book and exhibition, allowing people around the world to see Marilyn Monroe in a way that official photographs rarely captured.
Peter's little movie became much more than a personal memory. It became a precious piece of cultural history, preserved by a teenager who simply wanted to see his favorite star.
Sometimes, history isn't captured by a famous photographer or a professional film crew.
Sometimes, it's a young fan with a borrowed camera who preserves a moment the world would otherwise have lost.

What I read is that the crash happened right after they went through a small but intensive storm dome.
So it strikes me as likely a freeze up of air surface controls with ice.
Which I am not sure there is a solution to?
{...
- Pilot reported light, clear ice and moderate turbulence at −47 °C
- The crew encountered heavy precipitation, requested an immediate climb, then declared a mayday and reported descending 10,000 ft/min, later 20,000 ft/min
- The aircraft made a sharp right turn into a storm cell before the descent
2,000 fpm is 227 mph.
I would have avoided the storm cell.
2,000' / minute = in miles per hour 22.727272727273 https://conversion.org/speed/feet-per-minute/miles-per-hour
BUT !
I saw a single frame freeze frame of the aircraft a few feet from impact. Engines off it would have had to be going over 600 MPH.
At some prior portion of the flight they may have had a 10,000' / minute descent rate.
In the second before impact, much faster, if the ostensible freeze-frame I saw was accurate. Axis of travel near vertical.
In 20:20 hindsight, indeed.
Problem is pilots have schedules to keep, and sky high fuel bills to account for.
An additional complication, there's a virtual infinitude between clear sky magnificence,
and ultra-turbulent mega-death.
Where do you draw the line? When it gets a little cloudy?
I don't know the details, but a Learjet may be able to fly over the churn, if the flight is long enough.
On a short hop they may not gain enough altitude for that.
Opps, typo. Meant 20,000 fps. But yes, it was accelerating.
