This is the new GOP. It doesn't matter if planes start raining down in flames, as long as there's no chance of a terrorist attack. Ban Ban Ban, it's the only solution.

Even if planes don't start catching fire, the sheer economic blow to the American and global airline indistry, and America-bound tourism, will be devastating. It will impact the most desired and profitable traveler groups- business passengers, diplomats, high-level government figures like government ministers, professionals - the hardest, and cause a general disruption of transatlantic travel.

Speaking of that laptop ban...

Transatlantic flights to and from the US are going to suffer some losses, if you ask me.

Or you know, this.

Well I don't know what country you live in Falcon Horus but over here in Australia the media is either too stupid or does not want to cover those stories about prison camps for gay people.

In the teeny tiny hell hole named Belgium...

Spoiler:

...in the north part of it, Flanders...



...in the provincial region which was once referred to as the Duchy of Brabant (see above in spoiler-space), and is still named to this day, Flemish-Brabant.

And the GOP in the US crashed British Airway's computers how? This is totally unrelated to the potential electronics ban being considered.

If they're going to ban electronics in planes because presumably some moron has spent too much time on YouTube watching lipo packs being stabbed by screwdrivers and thinks this is an everyday occurrence, are they going to ban these dreamliner planes that are full of them too?

How is that OK?

How is that OK?

It's not. It is something strictly forbidden by the constitution. Thing is though, people are arguing about what emoluments are.

[garhkal]

Didn't both obama and bill C also do something similar?

[jelgate]

Both sides have used loopholes to raise money for their campaign

Both sides have been playing fast and loose with all of the ethical and financial rules for a very long time now, longer than I've been alive. The foxes guarding the henhouse are the ones who write the laws, so naturally, they will always leave themselves loopholes.

That's the emoluments bit. It's not dodgy campaign financing, it's out and out profiteering from his office.

Well the USA soon will abandon being part of the Geneva convention so is that how you get MAGA?
