It’s not so much a backstory as it is to say what Trump was trying to cover up. The crash Safety Incident Report and subsequent Air Worthiness Directives will not be out for some time. Data are limited now and drawing early conclusions is scary to me. It was a common military check flight and a common commercial airliner landing path. So routine. My father was an Army standardization pilot. He did these types of check flights often. I read every final report.

Inspired by HCR’s substack of today, on Julia Ward Howe’s Battle Hymn of the Republic.

Updated Battle Hymn of the Republic

For our times

Mine eyes have seen the gory, of the story of the Trump

The fat liar, pants on fire, lies as bigger than his rump

I have seen him falsely lie with bold faced falsehoods that defy the common sense

As can be asserted by none other than his VP, the servile Mike Pence

I can hear his utter balderdash whilst I sleep or in a trance

His psychosis is marching on

In the horrors of his depravities Satan enraptures the fools and freaks

With a lunacy of ghastly proportions that entices high tech geeks

As he lives to spread his evil, let us fight to make men see

That truth is plain to we

He’s just, a grifting stupid con man

He’s just, a lying stupid con man

He’s just, a fucking stupid con man

And his grift is marching on
