Thanks for the gentle correction. I meant ... after the huge congressional losses in 2018.

I’m still visiting grands so only have time to quickly catch up periodically. Still wondering if anything will come of accusations against John Roberts. Or if it did I missed it. But I am enjoying seeing my son and grands. My granddaughter just beat everyone at Clue three times so I’m not as smart as I used to be, lol.
Thanks!
So Jackson was able to postpone a civil war and Lincoln was not. Now we see Lincoln as “the hero”. Hmmm?
Enjoy your time with family. It is precious memories. Good to “let her win”. Lol
That’s a good piece of gossip. Is Omar still on foreign affairs committee?
The missing link.
Sorry, I didn’t know that is what you were asking. Here you go.
“Concorde was retired due to the cost of flying the aircraft. The standard cost of a one-way ticket from London to New York was £4,350 and up to £8,292 for a return. Following the crash of Air France Flight 4590 which killed 113 people, purchasing of flights on Concorde significantly decreased.Apr 19, 2017
“Such speed didn’t come cheap, though: A transatlantic flight required the high-maintenance aircraft to gulp jet fuel at the rate of one ton per seat, and the average round-trip price was $12,000.”
Sort of like racing.
Speed costs money...how fast do you want to go?
If Biden becomes president, will Jill allow him to meet with any other Head of State without her? This whole thing is such a travesty. It is a nightmare for me and I’m not really even involved except as a citizen. I cannot imagine what the feelings are for President Trump and his inner circle, especially his family. I do not read dystopian novels but this is beyond imagining.
Exactly. Only the extremely wealthy could afford to fly on it.
Kept them from having to rub elbows with the unwashed masses, though.
May be cheaper than flying their private jets. On the other had it limits their destinations to the YUGE air fields.
Yeah, that’s probably it
