As Sophia Petrillo, of “the Golden Girls” fame used to say, as the Dorothy, Blanche, and Rose settled around the kitchen table for a slice of cheesecake, “…Picture this, Sicily 1942…” the moment Sophia would begin her mini-monologue, the laughter from the audience would heighten and one embellishment of truth or fact or even reality would follow until all of the gags and gasps ended with wild applause and a look of sheer astonishment from the Golden Girls.
So picture this: in the past two months two, yes you heard that correctly, TWO Boeing built 747 Max airplanes crashed and killed all of its crew and passengers…now, of course, because, one plane was an Ethiopian Airline Company and the other an Indonesian (Lion Air), at first the crashes were of some interest…but let’s be honest, aren’t those countries poor nations, so does any death from THOSE countries really count… We did, however, discover that a few Americans were on the manifest, so the crashes mattered just a wee bit more (it’s like the American Tobacco companies selling cigarettes banned in this nation to third world citizens, you know they are the third world, so something is going to eventually kill them…
So now picture this: Trump wanted his own personal piolet, John Durkin, who had been a loyal Trump Company and lacky since 1989, and Trump’s best of the best to head the FAA, based on nothing more than he kissed Trump’s ass and had the courtesy of bringing handy-wipes to clean any dripping or drooling. While being the Most PERFECT Pilot EVER, it seems Mr. Durkin forgot a few basic regulations, like licensing the Trump fleet of planes and keeping any accurate records of some of the flight. Pouty and moody that Trump’s best of the best was rejected for the position of Director of the FAA, like so many other important positions within the government to keep Americans safe (you know that icky Socialist stuff), Trump refused to appoint anyone else, and so we have an acting FAA director) Remember, even you MAGA maniacs, and Republican Enablers…you DO fly on the same planes as those pesky Democrat snowflakes and Socialists fly upon…
So picture this: Dennis Muilenburg the CEO of Boeing, is a bud of Trump’s so much so that his visits to Mar-A-Lago are in the multiple dozens, which means anytime a room or food service or a round of golf is played, a bribe is handed to Trump, because Trump in the true sense of TRUTH is still running his Companies and has no problem with the Swamp People he swore he would drain from Washington, still infecting Mar-A-Lago. The US is now one of the only countries NOT banning the Boeing 747 Max, well because every time Dennis Muilenburg shouts “four” on the golf course he is writing at four more checks to some kind of secret bank account with the words Donald Trump has written all over it.
Finally, picture this: Elaine Chao, the Transportation Secretary and wife of Mitch McConnell (you gotta wonder of the White Supremacists are aware of this Mixed-race sin), has the power to cancel each and every scheduled airline flight if she finds negligence and a lack of safety on any planes. But Elaine and her husband Comrade Mitch, also have a few offshore bank accounts on the Cayman Islands, and being shifty and sly is a risky job, so more and more dirty money does motivate all of that lawless activity.
So, America, aren’t you a bit curious, or worried, or distressed or PISSED, that within 6-week period hundreds have died while flying on the Boeing 747 Max, with most civilized nations banning their use…but Jesus’s American politicians are refusing to do anything about this issue, at all. I guess the question is simple: If a tree falls in the forest and no one is there were there any injuries…and if a plane crashes, but not enough Americans died, did that crash really happen, or worse, matter!
