    Right, but (as could become the case here) the President could be indicted at State level, try the defence that he is immune, and see that defence rejected by the courts. The Justice department would then need to reconsider their position. Aside from that, I liked that the judge commented on Trump’s use of personal attorneys to argue Executive privileges. One of the most insidious parts of the whole shoddy affair is the normalisation of sending personal cronies to do State business. It’s bonkers that Trump thinks it supports him that Zelensky mentioned Giuliani first in that phone call. Giuliani is a personal employee of Trump the private citizen. He doesn’t work for the government. He is not White House staff. He has no accountability or responsibility to the US taxpayer, and no ethical oversight from any branch of government. His only responsibility is to advance the personal interests of DJT. So what the fuck is he doing out there?

    But the curse word on the book - was it an adjective or a verb?

    I am one who stopped being active because of the new interface. It is a step backwards.

    This is the ultimate bicellular elliptic canopy. I tried Semi/fully elliptic canopies before (Crossfire 2, Stiletto, Sabre 2) and this X-Fire is quite the bomb compared to the previous ones. It has na absolutely incredible harness response. I really feel connected to the canopy and the fact it has no stabilizers provides a nice over steer. It's the very first canopy I feel I have full control on. It's a Schuemann Planform designed canopy meaning the leading edge is super elliptic while trailing edge is quite flat. I see it as a bicellular Leia. Rears are super powerful. Fronts are quite hard but nothing unmanageable. Toggle turns (yes I tried those) are super slow but those breaks have like an infinite resource while landing. Openings are very nice but not too slow. Almost always on heading and predictable. You can feel Icarus put some effort on this part! I jumped a stiletto for 400 jumps before the X-Fire so I might be biased . I think I might stick with an X-fire (I own a 102 for now) if I want more in a few hundred jumps instead of going to the cross braced realm.

    I don't know how I missed this gem! I totally think you should kick out those fake weekend instructors like myself. Then you will have to hire more full time instructors to handle the weekend capacity, and you will have to share more of your weekday jumps. The math will totally work out in your favor, trust me I am certified public accountant who pretends to be a skydiving instructor on the weekends. I will get to fun jump more, so screw it, and I don't really care if you have to switch from Dinty Moore stew to Alpo because you suck at math.
