@shipwreckedcrew Critical thinking is not one of her strengths

Name another GOP politician in Maine who can win that Senate seat. Unless you have someone in mind, your complaint about Collins is meaningless.

@GageGoulding Horrible lead to your post. Do better. This is about loyalty, not paying big bucks. You have to fly a whole bunch of miles to be Gold and above

💸 In Houston, it pays to pay big bucks if you're flying!! A passenger received this text from United Airlines. While thousands are waiting in 4+ TSA lines, those with Global Services, Premier 1K, Platinum or Gold status can use a much faster checkpoint in Terminal C. 🧵

@toddstarnes I’m looking forward to your follow up post after reconciliation passes

Don't listen to the spin coming from Senate Republicans. Democrats got everything they wanted. American voters got screwed. There was a reason why John Thune scheduled the vote while the nation was asleep - so they could skip town before voters woke up and discovered what they had done. And here's the real kick in the pants - Republican senators left for yet another vacation without doing anything about the Save America Act. There's no polite way to say this - but Senate Republicans are sabotaging the midterm elections and President Trump's agenda.

@TonyLaneNV Nah….people gonna people

✈️ BE REAL… DOES THIS BOTHER YOU OR NAH? Plane just landed… doors still closed… and people already standing, reaching for bags like they’re about to beat everyone off the plane 💀 We’re all stuck here for a minute anyway… Does this annoy you… or you don’t care at all? ⬇️ 🇺🇸

@piersmorgan Don’t believe anything you read about this

Madness.

@OwenGregorian Activities like praying?

New British satellite can track hidden activity inside buildings | Chris Young, Interesting Engineering SatVu’s upcoming satellite could reveal hidden activity at nuclear sites and other sensitive locations, raising both intelligence value and privacy concerns. A British-made satellite capable of looking through walls and detecting detailed heat signatures will fly to space this week. Made by London-based SatVu, HotSat-2 will provide data on human activity, even when people are hidden behind ceilings and walls. Reports suggest the satellite could look “inside” Iran’s nuclear sites to help determine whether they are active. However, in other use cases, the capability may pose ethical concerns related to privacy and pervasive surveillance. SatVu’s HotSat-2 to fly this week SatVu’s HotSat-2 will fly to space aboard SpaceX’s latest rideshare mission, Transporter-16. The mission will fly aboard a Falcon 9 rocket, currently scheduled to launch from Vandenberg Space Force Base, California, on March 29. London-based SatVu provides high-resolution thermal imagery from space. According to a report by The Telegraph, the company’s satellites use advanced infrared cameras to capture images 30 times more detailed than those of NASA’s Landsat satellite. That same article noted that satellite imagery played a key role in the recent US-Iran conflict, which is having a devastating impact on civilian life and risks a devastating global recession. SatVu has previously detected increased activity at North Korea’s Yongbyon Nuclear Scientific Research Center. The company, which is backed by £30m ($40.2m) in Nato funding, says HotSat-2 is now integrated for launch this week. SatVu eventually aims to fly a constellation of eight satellites in total, enabling coverage of any location on Earth with only a two-hour waiting time. The company has deals in place with the US government, Japan, and several European nations. Though it has UK government backing, it does not currently have a contract in place with the UK. The importance of thermal data intelligence Satellites like HotSat-2 could provide key data to allies amid the ongoing conflict in Iran. They could also help to reduce fuel price volatility by providing a more comprehensive picture of infrastructure damage in the Middle East. In an interview with The Telegraph, SatVu CEO and co-founder Anthony Baker said: “If you see a big explosion at Ras Laffan in Qatar, you don’t know how much of it has gone up in flames. Our imagery lets you know with much more certainty what part has been hit and has gone offline.” According to the CEO, his company’s imagery is so detailed that it can show whether individual pumps in a nuclear reactor are switched on or off. It can also show whether a ship is being loaded with oil based on its heat signature. Separately, in a SatVu press statement announcing the upcoming HotSat-2 launch, Baker noted that, “by returning to orbit, we are restoring a critical capability for our partners and customers. High-resolution thermal data is no longer a ‘nice-to-have’; it is a fundamental requirement to complete geographical intelligence assessments.” interestingengineering.com/space/hotsat-2…

@BenjaminDEKR Why do you encounter 4-5 TSA agents going through airport security?

What is the point of hotel check-in desk people anymore? Why isn't this 100% automated? Verify your ID, pay, get entry code. Why are humans still doing this?

@guypbenson You typically encounter 4 people going through TSA line. Only one would appear to need any specialized training…the x-ray operator (maybe the ID verification person). The rest can be handled by the national guard. This is not hard to fix. Deploy the guard @GregAbbott_TX

If nightmarish security lines and four jihadist attacks on the homeland during Democrats’ Homeland Security shutdown haven’t made them blink, why would (God forbid) a 5th or 6th?

@HiddenFromEwe @SoCalValleyGal @sc1mc @united I retired with 1.6 million on UA. My GS days are long gone. The Mrs and I now prefer road trips. Our long hauls have been limited to one per year. We’re blessed to be able to afford the seats up front

@fzimo @SoCalValleyGal @sc1mc @united You sound like Mrs. Nope. Got too used to it when we lived in Singapore as expats. I’m almost to my 2nd million on UA, much of it over oceans in the front of the plane. I can put up with Economy Plus (free for life) and spend that money on ground activities.

The entire row is alllllll yours. Welcome to United Relax Row, three adjacent United Economy seats with adjustable leg rests that can each be raised or lowered to create a cozy lie-flat space for stretching out... You'll also get a mattress pad, blanket and two pillows. If you’re traveling with kids, a plushie too! United Relax Row will be available starting next year on more than 200 of our 787s and 777s, each with up to 12 of these brand-new rows. united.com/Elevated

@SoCalValleyGal @sc1mc @united Well…you got me there

@fzimo @sc1mc @united If you paid for it you can afford it, cuz if you can't afford it you can't pay for it.

@BasedMikeLee I know where mine is and I’m 67 years old

Senate Democrats act like locating a birth certificate is as hard as finding the Ark of the Covenant. Do you know exactly where yours is?

@LoewyLawFirm He has time. Voters have short memories. That said, Rubio for now has out flanked him

10000%

@SoCalValleyGal @sc1mc @united I didn’t say I could afford it…

@fzimo @sc1mc @united I guess it depends what people can afford.

@SoCalValleyGal @sc1mc @united At the risk of sounding smug and entitled…on long hauls I just pay for Polaris. With some planning and patience you can get two up front for $9-10k. In my working days all the up front travel ruined me. Once you go forward you can never go back

@sc1mc @united @fzimo But if you were already traveling with like two or three kids you could get that row for them or if you're one adult with two kids you could get those three seats and that way you can all lay down.

@amlivemon He knows better than that….but he’ll raise prices 20% anyhow

Nope

@johnkonrad Just guessing…if true, someone in Iran is making a play to take control and they need guarantees from the US. I’ll believe when I see it

What of they are giving us Kharg Island? Why would they suddenly be so cooperative? There aren’t many theories out there where this makes any sense… but my sources suggest it may be true.

@caffeinaddicttt @united How about you switch to decaf

@fzimo @united @guypbenson how about buying a private jet u certified genius?

@RichOToole Sorry…got to feed and house the undocumented first

What about free healthcare first?

@tracybeanz Hilarious

🤣Legit laugh out loud.
