Interesting aspect in this Daily Mail piece. It was the Prop Masters Union, who indicated that none of its members were on set in NM, who reported that a live round was in the gun. Evidently they've been discussing a strike soon which Baldwin supported.🧐 dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/arti…
No idea if this has anything to do with what happened, but you've got the Unions out of LA going HARD on this production, making it sound as if they hired shoddy non union people.
Updated piece from @DailyMailUK Sounds like the crew was VERY unhappy with working conditions. This was Baldwin's project, he was in charge.
Yikes. dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1…
😬
And then there's this snippet from the Daily Mail UK piece earlier today. The IATSE (union) shared a video of Baldwin supporting the decision if they needed to walk. Meanwhile ignoring his crews complaints for weeks.
Public face vs private face?
New information from court records for warrants.
Baldwin was handed a loaded weapon by an assistant director who did not know the prop was loaded with live rounds. Hutchins was shot in the chest, Souza standing behind her was wounded. ctvnews.ca/world/court-re…
Oh boy. Non-Union replacement prop master provided the gun. Still...where did the live ammo come from? nypost.com/2021/10/22/rep…
🧵SWA's "Perfect Storm"
From a discussion with someone involved:
The SWA debacle over the weekend is the result of a “Perfect Storm” of key issues that cascaded on top of each other.
Unlike AA or Delta, airlines with etc with a “Hub and Spoke” type of regional operations model, SWAs system is built differently and networked country wide.
The ATC issue at JAX on Friday evening was a big issue as SWA has 9 cities there, 2 crew bases and a pilot base, so the shut downs effectively crippled their system.
This is heartbreaking.
This man's son was seriously wounded in the terriorist attack in Kabul. He expressed his feelings about it, and the family decided to decline a visit from Biden. So the haters went after him, to the point where he deleted tweets.
Short🧵of his tweets:
Interesting call earlier today from someone gathering information on behalf of @GOPLeader and @NRCC
She asked her initial question: Would you agree that Pelosi's J6 Commission is to prosecute Trump supporters?
Yes, among other things, I replied.
She proceeded with the script...
So I listened politely. Fortunately, she couldn't see my eyes rolling. As she started with the "ask", I interrupted her.
First I thanked her for making the calls.
How long have you been doing this?
For about 4 months.
How's the response going?
She laughed, I smiled.
That good, eh? She laughed again.
I'll make this short then, I said. When Leader McCarthy removes Liz Cheney from J6 Committee and all others, instead of sitting on the fence fundraising off of our frustration, drooling about '22. I'll consider a donation.
Good?
She laughed.
I've been pondering something.🤔
The Joint Chiefs and MIL/Industrial complex disagreed with both Trump's and Biden's decision to leave Afghanistan, it was all over the press.
What are the chances they deliberately orchestrated the exit to be the disaster we're watching?
Reports have surfaced that Afghani MIL was not being paid consistently, food/supply shipments dwindled. Contractors, mechanics supporting Afghani MIL were sent home weeks ago. Bagram vacated weeks early leaving only Kabuls one runway as an exit?
Did Milley betray a 2nd POTUS?
Anyone in the MIL will tell you how critical Logistics is.
This was a critical logistical failure, and not just since last Friday.
Let's walk through APs "article" about #AZAudit. It's a doozy. Sadly, there's nothing new here, just the old usual stuff regurgitated, again.
I've taken the piece paragraph at a time, with my reply in blue in each screenshot. Grab a beverage!🍹Let's Go! apnews.com/article/arizon…
#AZAudit It's moving day! Machines are nearly loaded, and the pallets are being shrink wrapped for storage. Phase 1 of the first Forensic Audit in USA History is nearly complete.
#AZAudit They broke down a lot of tables and equipment overnight and were here early this morning. Contrast this to just a few weeks ago:
#AZAudit Machines in storage. Starting on pallets of ballots.
