HUMOR AND POLITICS
The window seat in row #26 on an Alaska Airlines 737 Max 9 flight from Portland Oregon was unoccupied. If it weren't, a seated passenger would've surely been sucked out into the cold, fierce atmosphere. From 16,000 feet within 12 seconds, a person taking a swan dive reaches 120 mph. The blast-freezer sensation comes to an end in another 50 seconds when earthly reality halts descent.
While it was raining caps, cell phones, and airplane fuselage in Portland, Alaska Airlines was still running its social media ads… "The kids will love our inflatable slides." Fortunately, their "Complimentary champagne during free-fall" ad campaign had just ended.
A science teacher discovered the blown-out emergency door plug of the airplane in his yard. The possibility of an additional, horrific discovery, was avoided only by happenstance. Strange, how the flight was almost full, yet a window seat was left vacant? Lousy sightseeing between Portland and Ontario? Was it a fluke, a stroke of luck?
When Trump was elected president in 2016, many decent people in America, who suspected Mexicans weren't rapists, and the wrongly accused Central Park Five didn't deserve automatic death sentences, believed it too was just a fluke. But today, knowing the absolute truth about him, that his moral character is lower than a snake's belly in a wagon rut, you'd think there's no chance rational Americans would re-elect this narcissistic, lying, rapist, fraudster, and criminal con man again in November 2024.
It'd be like hiring Bernie Madoff to invest your hospital's charitable donations or enlisting Jeffrey Epstein as your daughter's Girl Scout troop leader.
No way! Americans will come to their senses, measure the worthiness, reality, or fiction of each candidate, think of their kid's futures, and make a responsible choice at the ballot box.
Really? Would you like a window or an aisle seat?
Political ads for the coming presidential election are building. And there are a few that offer airline-suggestive concepts…
"Join our frequent near-miss program. Vote Republican!"
"There may be fifty ways to leave your lover, but there are only four good ways out of an airplane and one really bad choice for president."
And lately, with Trump's belief that presidential immunity means he can order Navy SEALs to exterminate whomever he desires, "If you get sick at the airport or are in Trump's disfavor, it could be a 'terminal' illness."
The Boeing Max 9 in question, had several prior flight warnings of depressurization. As a result, it was prohibited to fly over stretches of ocean. But, for some unknown reason, it was still deemed airworthy for domestic duty.
Donald Trump's supporters have received plenty of warnings confirming his despicable behavior. He faces 91 indictments and a 14th Amendment Constitutional removal for being an insurrectionist but is the polling leader to represent the MAGA-GOP in the upcoming election as their presidential candidate.
Is he still worthy of domestic duty?
No one in your tribe will know how you voted. It's time to consider a responsible choice… window or aisle?
