Don’t forget the drag from all the flags

Maybe, but a reasonable person also wouldn’t drive a car into a lake.

I wonder how long it will be for Trump? I think at least a week. It’ll take multiple rounds of denials, a sudden resurgence in social media content a la Herman Cain, and a sloppy AI video before they admit it. Probably at least two weeks before everyone knows it but the WH is insisting otherwise.

Many years ago I worked tech support for a software company. I had one caller who could not conceive that our software couldn’t print to two printers at once. She didn’t want to print to one then the other. She just kept repeating “this is the 21st century” whenever I tried to explain.
