A common misunderstanding. Boats (made of rock) float due to gravity pushing the water up (as it bounces off the earth). Boats made of feathers (ducks) harness the same principle, as they are also filled with water.

by an alarm clock,

Sounds like a personal choice. Im up before 630 every day without an alarm clock. Try going to bed earlier?

leap out of bed,

Or just, get out of bed. Like every person on the planet.

dress,

Would you rather be nude?

force-feed,

You mean eat? Somebody forcing you? Youre bitching about breakfast?

shit, piss, brush teeth and hair,

If pooping/peeing are upsetting to you, you have bigger issues.

and fight traffic to get to a place where

Why fight the traffic? You are the traffic. Fighting it is a personal choice.

essentially you made lots of money for somebody else

Your company is successful, is that a problem? You're getting paid too, right?

and were asked to be grateful for the opportunity to do so?

Who's asking/telling you how to feel about it?

Dude needs therapy

if that's the case, if he's just an idiot puppet, why spend energy attacking him and his character specifically? It doesn't persuade anyone on the right, and it doesn't help the left focus on the people pulling the strings.

The news, and left leaning communities online, have told me every day for 8+ years that trump is stupid, etc. What's the point?

But... right-side-up, the plane fights gravity, has upward lift, according to Bernoulli principle. And even if we angle the flaps to decrease altitude, it's still not dropping like a rock, the wings still generate lots of upward lift.

400 ton plane, wings w 400 ton lift = flight

Now (before engaging flaps) those same wings upside down would be generating downward "lift" PLUS pull of gravity. So now the 400 ton plane is like an 800 ton plane. Can the flaps alone lift that? Or, said another way, if we gave the plane flat wings, no Bernoulli, and stacked another plane on top of it (to make 800 tons), could it fly right-side-up just using flaps?

The worst take from his opposition: "trumps such a dumb idiot". And it's why the left gets out-maneuvered; they imagine those on the right as only either 1. Imbeciles 2. Racists.

The right sees the left as cunning, and strategizes how to outplay them.

The left sees the right as backwards morons, and strategizes how to insult them. It seems to be the main play, and is doing him a favor by shutting down closer examination.

You know they have "settings", right?

But then how can they fly upside down?

Somehow the article (and your summary) leave out the actual complain.

ABC news: "She is accused of making "forcible contact" with authorities, including allegedly slamming her forearm into a Homeland Security Investigations agent and pushing and using "each of her forearms to forcibly strike" an ICE officer, according to the complaint".

It's funny cuz people actually think this way, and don't realize what a self-own it is.
