  • Paraglider pilot here. A paraglider would be literally the worst way to invade/attack/terrorist-whatever any target. You need the right wind conditions to launch (or you have to have someone tow you up, but that only gets you so high); if there are no thermals, you can’t travel any kind of distance (unless your target is on a coastal ridge with onshore wind); you pretty much have to “attack” during the day (for above reasons); you move incredibly slowly (trim speed for your average wing is around 25-3mph); and you need both hands to operate the controls (I guess you could have a tandem passenger to work the weapons or whatever, but then you’re 2 people for every one weapon you have). Paramotors (paraglider plus big ass fan) makes all of this even less ideal, since you’re still very slow moving, and you’re loud.

    In conclusion, this lady is a nutcase and badly needs a hobby.













  • I think it’s this:

    “I just hired the best person to do something”

    Scenario A: this person did a bigly good job at it. Something was my idea and I get all the credit.

    Scenario B: this person did a massively horrible job at the something. Something failed because of this person and I’m awesome so I’m asking them to leave.

    In both cases, the something usually turns out to be a massively stupid idea to begin with, but Trump gets to claim a win either way. This is how one fails upwardly their entire life.
