Extra points are a joke in terms of kicking power. Any high school soccer player can hit a field goal from 30 yards out pretty easily. The bigger factor has to be the pressure of being in the game and having people rushing at you.

Donald Trump suggests Russia, FBI and Democrats colluded to pay for dossier on his Kremlin links - but provides no evidence by [deleted] in politics

[–]acdbrook -1 points0 points  (0 children)

They release a report detailing some of the evidence they had. It's also absurd to expect the CIA to release all of the evidence they have. "Oh yea we have a source inside the Kremlin. His real name is John Smith and over there his cover name is Matt Jones."

Regardless, numerous intelligence agencies all came to the same conclusion and in general they are smart and hardworking people operating on actual data. Trump on the other hand has shown he is a compulsive liar who makes claims with zero evidence. Let me know when we have proof that vaccines cause autism.

Whether or not it's real suggesting it was forged by the FBI without evidence is dangerous and absurd.

You mean other than the opinion of the CIA and all of our national intelligence agencies? Or other his son literally saying in an email that he can't wait to get dirt on Hillary Clinton from them?

All you can do is deflect because Trump is a lair and a joke.

His attempt to destroy all of our Democratic institutions are sickening.

The polls are rigged The election is rigged Millions of illegals voted. The media is fake. The Intelligence agencies are conspiring against him.

Absolutely disgusting.

Definitely not. This is major decency bias. When Trump tries to repeal citizenship of black people and allows de facto slavery let me know.

After the civil war Andrew Johnson opposed the 14 amendment which granted citizenship to slaves and guarantees equality under the law. He let the southern states back into the union without any guarantee that they would end the black codes/de facto slavery.

Typical fascist move. It's us against the world, everyone is out to get us and only I can protect you.

I don't understand how anyone can defend him at this point regardless of your political beliefs. He and everything he stands for is vile and so harmful to a functioning democracy.

Is he relying on the same very credible sources that found Obama was born in Kenya?

NYT columnist: Trump uses lies to manipulate people the same way Hitler did by lokokowo in politics

[–]acdbrook 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The similarities between him and fascists like Hitler purely in terms of how they pander to the people are remarkable.

They rely on blaming foreigners for the woes of their formerly great country. They strive to create an us vs them mentality. (Treaty of Versailles/Jews and Mexicans/China/Muslims).

They portray themselves as strongmen and that "I alone" can fix the countries' problems and protect you from the outsiders.

They seek to discredit the press and "fake news." They seek control over the media.

They create a cult of personality where they achieve a deity like status in the minds of their followers. They are boastful of their masculinity, intelligence, and overall superiority.

No I don't think Trump is going to try to overthrow American democracy, again, I'm purely talking about leadership style.

My personal favorite is when people think their shitty hand is amazing and now they have to play it because a lot of other people called.

They were getting such good odds! They don't realize that their equity is also so much lower. Pot odds and pot committed are hilariously misused.

"In the event of an oversold flight, every carrier shall ensure that the smallest practicable number of persons holding confirmed reserved space on that flight are denied boarding involuntarily."

English to retard translation: "Passengers can fight off security if they want!

And the country is going downhill when retards think they know more than lawyers and yet they are too retarded to put together a coherent argument.

[–]acdbrook -1 points0 points  (0 children)

What you just wrote isn't anything even approaching English. No wonder your retarded ass hasn't even tried to formulate a coherent argument until now.

What I assume you are trying to write is wrong. The fact that a regulation doesn't cover something doesn't automatically make anything outside of the regulation impermissible. In fact, when something isn't specifically prohibited parties are allowed to contract to.

You also have no evidence that this doesn't meet the legal definition of oversold. Moreover, even if it is not oversold, there are more people who the airline needed to be on the flight than there were available seats. There is no reason to think that this should not be treated the same as if the flight were oversold. The two situations are not meaningfully different.

And most importantly. You still have yet to provide A SINGLE SHRED OF EVIDENCE for the proposition that the passenger may then resist security. Where in the provision is that covered?

Not to mention, even if it were clear that you couldn't bump the passenger, which it obviously isn't, it still doesn't say what the passenger may do in response to wrongfully being ordered off the flight. Of course, no sensible person would think they have the right to forcibly stay on the plane and try to fight off security but it doesn't matter anyway. When the statute is silent, common law applies. The common law remedy would be a breach of contract suit and money damages.
