Since taking office I have been very strict on Commercial Aviation. Good news - it was just reported that there were Zero deaths in 2017, the best and safest year on record!


I'm glad to see his policies had a global impact since the report was for global numbers. Lol...

Heh. Found this fun gem while googling:

In the U.S., scheduled airlines haven’t experienced a fatal crash on any type of equipment since February 2009

Thank your President Trump.

All of the KFC and McDonald's Drumpf eats will finally catch up with him and squeeze the life out of his tiny heart.

Wait a second... this is the predictions thread. I was thinking it was the thread of hopes and dreams.

Oh well, I'll stick with what I wrote.

Thanks to that unhinged tweet, I learned there hasn't been a crash-related fatality on a US airline in over 8 years. That's a heck of a run.

In other Twitter news, Trump was more overt than usual today about calling for the jailing of political opponents - in this case for an allegation of a lesser version of a behavior we know he's guilty of. I kinda suspect that trait of his is gonna get worse before it gets better before this is all said and done. This pattern of disturbing behavior should be an impeachable offense, in truth, and it wouldn't seem out of place in a list of grievances against the tyranny of King George in the Declaration of Independence.
