Important to note this is the Royal Air Force. Unlike the US, the Royal Air Force covers both land and naval based aircraft.

It's a surprisingly good idea for carrier aircraft. The landing gear on carrier planes has to be extra durable because carrier landings are rough. Getting rid of landing gear would save a lot of weight and a big source maintenance.

Worked pretty well. The only reason it wasn't pursued was because carrier aircraft do land on regular runways, and nobody wants to convert every single runway to a bouncy version.

It's not like they're part of a company whose core product is search.

Dime a dozen. It's not hard to get a used cop car at auction.

Actual impersonation. From a CNN article:

Around 3:35 a.m., another call came in when officers were proactively checking on Hortman’s home. When Brooklyn Park police officers arrived they noticed that there was a police vehicle in the driveway with emergency lights on and what appeared to be a police officer at the door, coming out of the house, officials said. That individual immediately fired a weapon at them, Evans said, and exchanged gunfire took place during which the suspect was able to escape.

There's a sizable number of Christians who say the Trinity is part of the definition of Christianity.

Adams and Jefferson both explicitly rejected the Trinity.

Yes, it is. All those white men had the freedom to push that Mexican guy to the ground and handcuff him. See, that's real freedom, according to the Ten Commandments. It's why we should put the Ten Commandments in every schoolroom, so people know what they say, and how they say DEI is bad. It's right next to the Commandments about how oil belongs to America and the KJV is the only valid translation.

He's the guy who looked directly at the eclipse, so yeah, he'd probably do that, too.

Bets on Donnie forcing it to go ahead anyway?

Honestly, they'd be horrified at a bunch of things, some of which are on MAGA, and some on progressives. Maybe we shouldn't be taking the ideas of slaveowners from over 200 years ago as seriously as we do.
