    It is a restricted airspace so someone ordered it. That being said, there’s a chance it was a flyover for the Polish pilot who crashed and died while practicing for an airshow.

    But, keep in mind, it doesn’t have to be Trump personally. He’s not the only person in a position of power with a vested interest to make those women disappear. Plenty of influential scum bags to go around. And once the names are released, regardless of who releases them, blackmail is a lot harder to leverage. And the people leveraging it are not the idiots Trump and his quasi reality tv goons are. They’re more than capable of pulling strings, making “suggestions” and planning ahead. Trump isn’t hard to fool nor drive. The biggest difficulty with him is anyone can steer him; keeping him under singular influence is the challenge.

      Your logic is sound and I’m not heavily disagreeing with you. My gut says the claim is hinky. (Obviously, my gut and hinkiness are the gold standard for truth and reason.)

      I’m skeptical but you might be right. It’s real fucked up that we have to even consider bullshit like this.

        Right. Like how many times do we read something off the wall and we can’t even tell if it’s satire or legitimate reporting anymore because absolutely any level of madness is possible.

        Recent examples are this whole “President Trump to rebrand Defense Department to Department of War” sounds like a SNL skit setup or “Trump moves Space Command HQ to AL, citing CO mail-in voting” sounds like the onion. There are better examples, but it’s just like every day some new crazy thing. It’s good to stay skeptical because it really is hard to be sure of anything one way or another.
