Hey Jasmine…

Black pilot here.

I think you missed the plot.
Then again, that’s becoming a pattern.

I graduated from West Point.
I went through Army flight school.
I learned to fly the AH-64 Apache.
I deployed to combat and flew 55 combat missions over Baghdad.

Nobody handed me a cockpit because of my skin color.

Nobody lowered the standards for me.

Nobody looked at me and said, “Let’s check a diversity box.”

That’s what people like you don’t seem to understand.

Suggesting that Black pilots, Black engineers, Black doctors, or Black leaders need special preferences to succeed is not empowering, it’s insulting.

I didn’t want a different standard.
I wanted the same standard.

And when you’re flying into combat, the American people don’t care what race the pilot is.

They care whether the pilot is qualified.

Merit isn’t racist.
Excellence isn’t discriminatory.

And reducing every achievement to skin color says far more about your worldview than it does about mine.

@GavinNewsom WOW, you made people claiming there's voter fraud ILLEGAL? What do you do if there's actual voter fraud??

[Mecha Thomas Jefferson @MechaJefferson]

Is anybody else seeing this? I'm talking to a brick wall here lmao. There's already no way you could still think I'm talking about the Republican vote share after my second-to-last reply. I did everything in my power to emphasize that you're reading the comment wrong, that I'm talking about vote share between TWO DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATES, and explicitly NOT talking about the vote share for Pratt. Then you reply to it with this same exact point again! Its like I've told you 3 times in a row "its weird that Blue Raspberry is a more popular flavor than Blueberry", and you're replying with "but most people don't like Strawberry". Am I hallucinating? Are you an AI bot that just samples random Democrat talking points? This behavior is truly baffling

[Mecha Thomas Jefferson @MechaJefferson]

@atrupar If you guys spent as much time reading the evidence people have found as you spend throwing those same people in prison to keep them quiet, you would know.

Why don't you start with what Tina Peters found on that hard drive

[Mecha Thomas Jefferson @MechaJefferson]

@washingtonpost "good governance advocates" really scraping the bottom of that barrel huh? What's the matter, couldn't dig up an "expert" willing to say it? "good governance advocate" literally just means somebody who wants a good government. That could be any rando you found on the street.

[Mecha Thomas Jefferson @MechaJefferson]

@BBCWorld (Pratt leads Raman for 5 days) "We need to wait for more votes to be counted, there's still a lot left"

(Raman overtakes Pratt by a tiny margin for a day) "Well this race is clearly over, all the rest of the votes will be more like this anyway, lets move on"

[Mecha Thomas Jefferson @MechaJefferson]

@rightsidefreee @CNN It didn't look that different lol

[Mecha Thomas Jefferson @MechaJefferson]

I literally insulted you for not reading, then you replied again without reading what I'm talking about. What level of brain damage is this? Are you able to drive a vehicle and hold a job? Do Democrat talking points just play on loop in your brain like elevator music?

If you don't have anything to say about the strange statistics between BASS (DEMOCRAT) and RAMAN (DEMOCRAT), which I specified as clearly as a person can possibly specify something, then you don't have to reply. But why would you respond to a post where I said "Ignore Pratt" with some post about Republican support in California?

[Mecha Thomas Jefferson @MechaJefferson]

@WendyMcCote @CplFlume @cardon_brian I got no beef with you wendy, thats toward the Flume guy. He came with video clips and arguments like he wants to debate. But when I bring up stuff he doesn't have talking points for he just pretends not to understand, pretends I'm saying something absurd. Hence, the tweet.

[Mecha Thomas Jefferson @MechaJefferson]

@nytimes The fact that you guys can accept an upset of this magnitude, a statistical anomaly between Raman and Bass this large and sudden, and not even question it or bat an eye, just proves you already know what happened and you approve of it. You are killing Democracy.

[Mickey Kaus @kausmickey]

For those dismissing the possibility of fraud in CA vote, please remember that key protections we're told are built into the law turn out to be vaporous in practice:

--'You need to sign it' .... A mark or slash will do.
--'We check those signatures.' ... LA election workers told @jenlynncallahan they don't. https://t.co/svWWKDd6gu
--'Must be postmarked by Election Day' ... No! Fine print in regs lets voters self-date.
--'Ballot "harvesters" must sign the ballot envelope!' ... But the ballot's still counted if they don't.

All this doesn't mean there was fraud. Still ...

[Mecha Thomas Jefferson @MechaJefferson]

@DschlopesIsBack Well, they don't vote that much, really. They just cheer and jeer when the party they like stuffs elections with fake ballots to win.

[Mecha Thomas Jefferson @MechaJefferson]

@ForecasterEnten Nobody said Karen Bass is the beneficiary of the fraud. They just don't want Pratt to have the national attention of being in a runoff.

[Mecha Thomas Jefferson @MechaJefferson]

I swear you people can't read, you just assume I'm talking about whatever the news said.

Obviously the mail in votes skew democrat, that's not what's weird about this one. Ignore Pratt. There are 2 democrats in the race, Bass and Raman. Bass was wining every batch of ballots counted on election day. But since then for 5 days straight, Raman has been winning all of the batches counted. The 3rd place candidate after election day has been the 1st place winner of the ballots counted since election day -- both democrats.

This is what you're calling normal:

[Mecha Thomas Jefferson @MechaJefferson]

@CplFlume @WendyMcCote @cardon_brian

[Mecha Thomas Jefferson @MechaJefferson]

@Zigmanfreud You're missing the point. Before election day Raman was getting like 20% of the vote, and Bass was getting 40%. After election day Raman was getting 40% of the vote, and Bass down to 30%.

Why on earth would that distribution change so sharply, right on election day?

[Mecha Thomas Jefferson @MechaJefferson]

@FrankLuntz @ForecasterEnten That doesn't matter at all if you can stuff unlimited ballots. Who cares what people want? Just stuff until your candidate wins.

They just didn't want Pratt running around calling out how fucking disgusting the city has become under Democrat management, so they knocked him out.

[Mecha Thomas Jefferson @MechaJefferson]

What's the matter, running out of copium?

This whole debate is insane. He doesn't reach for the gun until she floors the gas with him near the front of the car. He didn't have time to figure out if she planned to drive over him or not, and no driver in a normal situation would ever drive that way near a person unless they didn't care about causing harm. If he guessed she's fleeing and didn't shoot, but she had actually been planning to steer into him, then he's dead. So he made the conservative choice given the uncertainty. Nobody had guns out before she drove the car like that, not even when she was reversing. It's very obvious that his proximity to the car when she tries to speed away triggered everything that happened next. If she had waited even 2 or 3 more seconds, or backed up a little further, then there would have been no moment of uncertainty, the officer would have kept recording with his phone and never pulled out his gun, let alone shot her.

Renee Good is 100% at fault for what happened to her. She chose to go fuck with the officers. She chose to flee in her car instead of letting them arrest her. She chose not to show any care for the officer's safety when she peeled out. At any of those points she could have been wiser and done something else, but she chose to play a stupid game, and she won a stupid prize. Don't make a cop wonder if you're about to kill them or not and you won't get shot. This whole thing is truly that simple.
