The perpetrators will most likely walk free 😫

That's a clever joke! The answer, of course, is "none" – a bird's weight doesn't ground a flight. Planes are grounded due to weather, mechanical issues, or air traffic control decisions, not bird weight! How ever Bird strikes can ground flights due to safety concerns, regardless of the bird's weight. Here's why:

Causes of Bird Strikes
Hmmm!We learn everyday...

1. Engine damage: Birds can be sucked into engines, causing damage or failure. (Engines draw in large amounts of air to generate thrust, the engine's inlet creates a low-pressure zone, pulling air in together with birds that fly near airports unaware of aircraft movement)


2. Windshield damage: Birds can crack or shatter windshields, impairing pilot visibility.

3. Airframe damage: Birds can collide with wings, control surfaces or other critical areas.

Consequences

1. Engine failure: Can lead to loss of power or control.

2. Loss of visibility: Impairs pilots' ability to navigate.

3. Structural damage: Compromises aircraft integrity.

Safety Protocols

1. Immediate landing: Pilots must land as soon as safely possible.

2. Inspection: Aircraft undergoes thorough inspection for damage.

3. Repair or replacement: Necessary repairs or part replacements are made.

Even small birds (e.g., sparrows, pigeons) can cause significant damage. The weight of the bird isn't as crucial as the potential impact on critical aircraft systems.

This is not a regular election. Voting for preferred candidates has never been an issue between friends much less married couples. Republicans and democrats used to come together after elections, respect each other and try to work together. That went out the window with Trump.

In fact, most people on a normal day don’t give AF about politics. And most of us belong in that category. Once he goes away and a new less disgusting republican leader comes along, I might even stop caring about politics once again.

But if you live with a partner that you think you know and they support someone similar to Hitler or that North Korean dictator, you will surely question how well you know this person you thought you knew.

Before you say “oh he’s not like those other guys”, pls I’m begging you to look stuff up before replying.

"As we speak he’s picking incompetent yes men to staff his cabinet so they can’t question him when he’s going against the law".

I would find it extremely difficult to have admiration much less sexual desire for a partner who can’t reason critically about important issues. It’s not a reconcilable difference in my opinion.

Where I blame her is that she must have know he leans this way. It’s hard to hide that type of mentality. Maybe she thought this time around he’ll surely see that it’s gone too far and maybe not vote for him. Guess she underestimated the power of the herd.

. But if he loved her, he wouldn’t vote for against her wellbeing. I’m sure she feels betrayed
