🛫 Flights Of Fancy 🛬

Sean Duffy on Spirit: "To be really clear, yeah, jet fuel prices have gone up. This story was not written because of the Iran war. This story was written because of Elizabeth Warren, Joe Biden, Pete Buttigieg ... "

Spirit was in its second bankruptcy. Jet Blue isn’t doing that well anyway. Aside from the (former) employees of Spirit, and the people stranded by its closure (and the creditors): who gives a shit?

In a world where gas is simply getting more expensive (as is jet fuel), farmers are going bankrupt, and inflation is rising, who is supposed to give a shit about a badly run airline finally going out of business? Is this all the Secretary of Transportation has to do? Talk about this?

Watters on Spirit Airlines: Biden let thousands of workers lose their jobs and all the prices are going to get higher.

Yeah, that’s gonna take everybody’s mind off their problems; and who’s to blame for them.

Meanwhile, from the top:

Trump: Thanks to these pro-growth policies, our economy is roaring and factory construction is way up. Consumer confidence is way up. Nobody can believe it. Nobody can believe the $18 trillion number that we gave you. pic.twitter.com/E5NkfiXIuL

Nobody can believe a word you say. Because we’re living in reality; and none of us are that stupid.

Trump on Iran:

So we did a little detour, and it's working out very nicely. pic.twitter.com/WspVzRyzaE

For whom?

Trump on Oil Prices:

Everybody was wrong. They thought energy would be at $300. It’s at like 100. And I think it’s going down. There's a lot of energy out there on ships all over the world that are loaded up with it. They can't do much with it because they got, uh, kidnapped by… pic.twitter.com/Bv7v58IRmr

They can't do much with it because they got, uh, kidnapped by a pretty evil place, but we're taking care of it.

As I write, WTI is at $105 bbl. It opened at $104, closed yesterday at $106. Not being at $300 (yet) is not really a flex. The rest of what he said? All I can say is: does reality have any claim on his attention any more?

That answers that question. And  now we do a little detour:

“For all the legacy media’s obsessive warnings about far-right extremist Nick Fuentes, it has shown far less interest in confronting a dangerous left-wing counterpart: Hasan Piker.”@Ingrid_Jacques @USATODAY https://t.co/XXTrJa19Vr

That would be this Nick Fuentes?

yeah i don't really think this is the same as Hasan https://t.co/daMnQVMsrs

Trump doesn’t understand a word that says.
