      Would be even better if they got boeing to help too. Would be just the best plane ever, such a great plane. Other people would look at it (as it explodes in a fireball in the sky) and say wow what a beautiful thing

      We know you can make it happen God, we’ve seen you do it with that skit-of-skits billionaire sub thing God. We know you just need them to all willingly line up God. Well they’re lining up, God! They’re willingly lining up! It’s your time to shine God!

    trump killing himself by using Musk to skirt safety precautions so he can feel special riding around in a shiny new ego tube might be enough to get me wondering if god exists.

          If he has the power to stop the suffering, being indifferent to it is evil. If not, sure.

              Only if I’m doing so intentionally. I don’t have the power to know where every insect is and keep them from harm accordingly.

              Maybe, but did you just compare millions of human beings’ suffering to a handful of insects?

              Besides, why are you comparing individuals’ indifference to God’s (potential) indifference? I don’t think that’s a fair comparison.

      So technically they were commissioned during the Obama era, Trump 1 threatened to cancel the program if the budget went over 4 billion, then Boeing appeased him.

      Also the reason they were commissioned to save money. Aging aircraft are a bitch to operate. That’s why cheap airlines like Ryanair only run new planes.

      Also there are already two of them. I suppose one is probably a backup?

      Also, fun fact, technically any plane that the US president is currently flying on, is at that moment, Air Force One.

    Oh wow, what’s the worst that could happen, they skip safety and defense features and the plane gets shot down and the president killed? Oh man, that would be horrible, just horrible!

        As liberals are the other half of the same coin, they are responsible for at least half the horrible shit that happens in the country. Why not give them the blame for killing the president though, it could be the one useful thing they do in the last several years!

            Hey, you guys enshrined abortion rights into law, since you had the chance and promised to do it, right? No? Well, at the very least you didn’t use the police to brutalize anti-genocide protesters, right? No? Well, at the very least, you’re standing up to Trump and opposing his Project 2025, right?

            No?

              Which of those things did the aforementioned non-white christians [they probably meant non-christians, but whatever] cause specifically?

              Edit: Did 100% of the people in those groups cause this?

      Maybe if we all concentrate hard enough we can will our reality back on track and make this happen. Somewhere around 2016 someone at CERN started a new experiment and ever since we’ve been in the wrong universe, through concerted efforts of enough of Earth’s latent psychics maybe we can push this world back towards the correct timeline.

      Or maybe make things worse.

          In a span of ten years, I lost two parents, a sibling, another sibling was committed and never recovered, nearly lost my partner of 20 years and she ended up in a coma for a month, as a result I lost our shared business, lost my car as a result, then two pets died, then lost my house. Set to all this was Donald Fucking Trump being elected twice, a rampaging virulent epidemic that half the people didn’t believe was real, and nazis coming back and genocides becoming fashionable again, and violent anti-science groups forming across the world.

          It’s reeaaallly hard to not think that there’s something deeply wrong with the world. Particularly after growing up in the 80’s and 90’s when our biggest cultural upset was Ellen coming out on TV guide.
