The @NHLBlackhawks defeated the @NHLBruins and the @TBLightning in the Stanley Cup Final in 2013 & 2015, yet both of those teams have found ways to stay successful and relevant while the Hawks have spiraled into embarassment. Poor management is the only answer.

John Thune seems confused about why he isn't liked in "online world."
He says being hated is a "daily experience" for him.
He said, "I don't know that they necessarily told me anything I got wrong."
Ok, I'll start.....
1) Oct. 8, 2016: he said Trump "should withdraw and Mike Pence should be our nominee effective immediately."
2) Dec. 2020: he said a challenge to the Electoral College would "go down like a shot dog."
3) 2022: he said he hoped Republicans would have "other options" besides Trump.
4) 2023: he endorsed Tim Scott, and didn't back Trump until Feb. 2024.
5) He voted for the $95 billion Ukraine, Israel and Taiwan aid package.
6) He requested $116 million in earmarks while voting to strip earmarks.
7) He used pro forma sessions to block recess appointments.
8) He refused Trump's call to end blue slips.
9) The House passed the SAVE Act. It died in the Senate 48-50, and a narrower voter ID bill died too.
10) He refused to nuke the filibuster or force a talking filibuster.
11) He waved off the SAVE Act pressure as a "paid influencer ecosystem."
12) When McConnell vanished for 3 months, Thune said it was "between Sen. McConnell and the people of Kentucky."
13) About 161 Trump nominations are still waiting, including 25 judges, and Democrats take over in January.
14) And he still feels no sense of urgency, and no realization of his own failures.
What did I leave off the list?
No sitting U.S. Senate Majority Leader or Minority Leader has lost a party primary while seeking re-election, at least since the formal establishment of the floor-leader positions in the 1920s.
Let's make history in 2028 and kick this shithead @JohnThune to the curb.
@tacsgc@johnthune He took the Senate out of session but never into a full recess so Trump couldn't make any recess appointments. He has actively thwarted Trump's agenda at every turn. He needs to GO.
๐จ BREAKING: The US Supreme Court 8-1 just GREENLIT President Trump to resume building the border wall in Big Bend, Texas โ lifting a lower court order that had halted construction ๐ฅ

I'm going to say this one more time and after that I'm ignoring the ignorant.
That is a taxiway hold short position marking. If there is an aircraft at the runway hold short line, it is the responsibility of the PIC of the aircraft on the taxiway to hold short of this line until the number one aircraft takes the runway. In this particular case, the reason is to prevent FOD or jet blast damage. Any pilot with half a brain knows this.
Construction my ass. Someone needed to teach the Cessna pilots what this red circled line means...
Spoiler alert: It's a jet blast protection / holding position on the taxiway. Traffic waiting to use the same runway entrance is expected to stay behind this line so it remains clear of the blast zone
Iยดve saw this one and didnยดt believe it but...
According to ASN, the aircraft, a Cessna 17 [N57BM] was following a United Airlines B-737 [Flight 2166] at Santa Ana-John Wayne Airport, CA
Then, accordingo ASN - "N57BM was following United 2166 on taxiway A to runway 02L at Orange County.
All traffic was stopped at the hold short lines. When the United 737 powered up to line up 02L, N57BM behind them was overturned by the jetblast."
Thankfully none of the two aboard were hurt
