Trump’s comments weren’t taken out of context and they were so in context that they stumbled all over themselves rewording it and respinning it for the following week after it happened, Mr. Robbins. Not to mention, right after a woman is murdered by a white supremacist the day after a bunch of nazis stormed Charlottesville goosestepping to “Jews Will Not Replace US” and immediately following a “Unite the Right” rally of nazis, klansmen, white nationalists, and neo-confederates organized by an open white supremacist IS NOT THE FUCKING TIME TO BE BOTH SIDESING shit. The only appropriate response is FUCK NAZIS WE WILL DESTROY THEM.
So fuck right off to whatever hole you crawled out from under.
Not to mention, let’s not forget the source. Donald’s Trump dad was a klansman, Donald Trump is a racist and a white supremacist who was sued for housing… oh fuck it I’m not going through all this shit again. You fucking know and don’t care you lying piece of shit. Fuck you Mr. Robbins.

I once (as an adult) had a groundhog in my house, that went through a cat door, through a laundry room, down a hallway, up a staircase to my study. I heard it, saw it and vv, it ran back down, etc and back out the cat door. Was probably pretty impressed[1] by the giant burrow.

I have 2 legs RT to Lodon. It involves 4 different seat changes. 2 going 2 coming. I paid for seat selection 4x over so that I could sit where I wanted and at the very least next to or near my other 2 companions. the ONLY seat that somehow disappeared was the Newark to Heathrow which of course if the most likely to be a full flight. I was able to get a seat on the same row as my nephew, but it’s at the darn bulkhead, I’m too damn tall for the bulkhead which is why I selected a DIFFERENT seat…but I could tell that was all that was left.
My sister and my cuz have seperate bookings, single seating…same situtaion EWR to LHR no seat selected even though we ALL paid and selected our seats in Feb! I told them both to call United ASAP…and tell them they paid for seat and get an assigned seat if they can or they’ll be assigned a seat at check it. But if it’s a full fuq’n flight…then what they have to be on stand by and then they may or may not be on the same flight even though they PAID TO SELECT A DAMN SEAT!!!

“should be”

1974. Round trip to and from Europe (including a stop to change planes in Reykjavik). Multiple hops on various airlines within Europe and within the U.K. Returned to NY and grabbed a puddle jumper from NY to Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Monmouth Airlines.

I will note that I have never detected any improvement in the flying experience when flying domestically on the legacy carriers relative to the budget carriers. They’re all terrible. Southwest goes most of the places I want to go domestically (except to the in-laws), and they have never lost my luggage, and they’re usually on time, and they don’t charge for bags. So I’ll usually choose them if there are options.

So my sister finally got through to CS ar United and now my sister and my cuz are indeed in separate rows sitting next to complete strangers…and why, because United changes planes and did NOT send any damn alert to passengers who were already booked on the original plane.
So if I had never looked and saw no seat selected, we would have gone to the damn airport with no assigned seats that we already PAID for and would have had to take whatever seats were still available IF ANY. And Iām sorry but Iām too damn fat to try & get a good last min seat?
