What is the rationale for just sending people to random ass countries that aren’t their home country?
Cruelty. And no oversight of our cruelty.

I also know nothing about nothing, but flaps generally retract into the body of the wing on something like a 787. They don't just move up and down. Flaps change the shape of the wing to generate more lift at the cost of more drag.
Many commercial jets use screw jacks to retract and extent the flaps. Here's a picture of extended flaps with a red box showing the screws that move the flaps, I don't think this is a 787:
It's hard to imagine the wind causing the flaps to retract in the case of hydraulic failure ... but I don't know how they design that system to react in the event of a failure, flaps up/down/or stay right where they are. It's also hard to imagine a pilot mistaking the flap control for the gear control.My theory of the hour: The plane lost power right as it took off, and the co-pilot reached for the throttles. And he grabbed the flap lever by mistake, and in a panic pushed it forward to try to increase thrust. Something was wrong with the power, the flaps were coming up and lift was dropping, they raised the nose to try to not hit the planet ... and stalled it right in to the ground. They were panicked in the cabin and didn't get to the point in the checklist where they would have raised the gear, or they did raise it and the plane did not respond.
I don't think the flaps were retracted. The flaps on the 787 are difficult to see due to the shape of the wing.

About 4000 people in the rain in Morristown, NJ (also Washington's headquarters during the Revolutionary War).
Very peaceful. Just a few police directing traffic.

And it's been less than ten days since the president's top aide accused him of pedophilia.

appeals court overruled within the past hour per local news, Trump back in charge of CA NG
I think they just stayed the decision to give the regime a little time to file an appeal before the order went into effect. Which in a functioning democracy with a functioning federal court system, would be what you want. A reasoned decision after the feds get their chance to argue their case. And if the feds still lose, then you have a strong record before it possibly heads to the Supreme Court.
In this world, though, it doesn't really matter either way. Regardless of whether the regime suffers a temporary setback tomorrow, there's going to be bloodshed. We're less than five months into the trump regime and this is already where we're at. By the end of summer, the trump sycophants (which includes large swaths of the military and the police) will have forcibly invaded and taken over California, or California will have left the union and there will be civil war. Assuming the upcoming WWIII didn't kill us all first.

I'm pretty fucking comfortable saying that the US government shouldn't put people in foreign concentration camps is a good hill to die on. Period. Full stop. What is wrong with some of you people?

He needs to be in the in the nose for how he treats her. Fuck him.
Great episode. Great season.
God, I hate him. Blaming her for everything she does. Meanwhile, he's the moron who parked their car in a ditch. But that was "bad luck." She needs to leave his ass.

Don't you want to get Kilmar Abrego Garcia home? Don't you want to prevent others from being shipped off to El Salvador?
Of course, yes. But the odds of him even being still alive, never mind coming home are vanishingly small. But you know what public anger can influence? Whether more people are disappeared. Whether people are willing to act as part of trump's gestapo. Whether DOJ lawyers will continue to present lies in court. Whether other people will stand up to the trump regime. We all have an obligation to make clear that this is not okay with us. Or we're no better than the good Germans.

The Dubai leg was pretty cool. Would’ve liked to see all the teams do the scuba challenge, but it was still good.
I liked Pops and Jeff and was sad to see them go. Old man is ripped. Hesitating for that train was a fatal mistake.
I actually like all of the remaining teams except Jonathan and Ana.Yup. It felt old school. Public transport. Fast Forward. Cool challenges, including sky diving and scuba diving.

I'll be there in a couple months. Please explain the UK ETA? Was it a pain?
The app was okay to use. I'm not sure if there's a website also and wound up downloading the app. But got mine back approved in under a minute.

Dumb question amnesty as someone who's been stuck in work meetings until late the past few days and is finally coming up for air (although I may soon wish I was stuck in meetings without internet). I thought there was a pause on tariffs for 90 days except for China. Is that not true? Cliffs Notes version. I can't even figure out the answer to this via the NYTimes website or Google.

NSIAP. And to the morons who think that there's somehow due process rights that will be granted going forward, when they're detaining even the lawyers for people being kidnapped under color of law, then how the fuck is there really any chance of getting before a court?

What's kind of interesting is why Trump is all jacked up about tariffs now, as opposed to his first term?
Is it because his Chinese tariffs were somewhat successful? I think one can make a case that almost any tariffs against China are justifiable, because they are "cheating us" in several ways. That's not true of everyone we have a trade imbalance with.
Something or someone got in his ear about this.
There were still a few vertebrae (not an entire vertebrate, though) in the Republican party. First term you had some so called adults in the cabinet, and there were still a few in Congress who would have voted against this shit (McCain, Cheney, etc.). Now we're the frog in the boiling water, and half the country is fully in the cult without guardrails. Putin can goad dotard into anything, and there's no one left around dotard to talk "reason."

Thoughts and prayers, asshole. You think half your workforce losing their jobs is "bittersweet"? I hope you lose your business, your house, and all your worldly possessions, and see how you like the sweet smell of nature without consumerism touted by the fucksticks you still support.

You might be right. But the "world" cup is going to be played between the U.S., Russia, Saudi Arabia, and North Korea.

This. We're only 2 months in and people have largely stopped visiting the U.S. By another 14 months from now, there's no way athletes from other countries will agree to travel here.
