Well, when Hitler took the rest of Czechoslovakia the next spring, they knew it was on. Hell, they declared war on Germany in September.   Why Britain hard time gearing up plane production I have no idea, but by 1939 there was no question there was gonna be a war - because they declared war.

if the alien drones have not already altered the historical documents, I will try to figure out why more planes weren’t produced

It all seems like some excuse, lets prepare for war, only to not prepare for war and sit on their asses, in Munich they could have revived the Triple Entent plus CZ, they refused to do so because of ideology, the conservative party prefered Hitler over Stalin.

I don't get the last reference.

Taking a look at this, Wm. Morris, Lord Nuffield, of Morris Motors, was a major motor (not aircraft) manufacturer, and also a fascist.  He pretty seriously obstructed the British buildup of aircraft manufacture, which needed to enlist automotive manufacturers.

Nuffield's facility, Castle Bromwich, given to Vickers in 1940, produced 12000 Spitfires over the duration in addition to Lancasters.

Long story short, the fascists and isolationists didn't want to play war.  There was a lot of that in England until shit got real.  Here, too, for that matter.

Quote

Key points about the limitations of British war plane production in 1939: 

• Insufficient factory capacity:

  The British aircraft industry had not been geared towards large-scale war production in the years leading up to the war, resulting in a shortage of manufacturing facilities when needed. 

   
• "Shadow Factory" program delays:

  While the "Shadow Factory" program aimed to address the capacity issue, many of these new factories faced initial problems with management, workforce, and production delays, particularly in the early stages of the war. 

   
• Lack of urgency in pre-war planning:

  The British government initially hesitated to fully commit to large-scale aircraft production before the war, leading to a slower start when hostilities began. 

   
• Concentration of factories in vulnerable areas:

  Most aircraft manufacturers were located in southern England, making them susceptible to enemy air raids, further hindering production

Come off it. That (the post WWII rules based international order) was at stake 2017, not now. It was worth protecting in my opinion but that’s all over but the crying. That hasn’t been at issue in years.

Musk told Trump that he didn't like the bill so Trump went on Fox and said that he doesn't support it so now the provisions to help the storm victims and the farmers will be stripped out before the House votes for a continuing resolution.

His own party only shamed him because the media was able to put a light on his dirty deeds. The lesson they learned was to buy their own media to use to defend themselves and attack their enemies, not to be less shitty.

Chip Roy, come get you some leopard.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2024/12/19/trump-administration-transition/#link-3DGB3RBIGVCUXK7O5VVMQND3M4

President-elect Donald Trump on Thursday issued blistering criticism of Rep. Chip Roy (R-Texas) as House Republicans raced to meet Trump’s latest demands to avoid a government shutdown.

“The very unpopular ‘Congressman’ from Texas, Chip Roy, is getting in the way, as usual, of having yet another Great Republican Victory — All for the sake of some cheap publicity for himself,” Trump said on his Truth Social platform, later adding, “Weak and ineffective people like Chip have to be dismissed as being utterly unknowledgeable as to the ways of politics, and as to Making America Great Again.”

In a second post, Trump said he hoped “some talent challengers” were preparing to run against Roy and that the incumbent “won’t have a chance!”

It was not immediately clear how Roy upset Trump. But Roy is a well-known fiscal hawk who has resisted raising the debt ceiling, something that Trump is asking from Republican lawmakers as they rush to avert a government shutdown before the weekend.

Roy appeared to respond to Trump on X, saying: “My position is simple — I am not going to raise or suspend the debt ceiling (racking up more debt) without significant & real spending cuts attached to it. I’ve been negotiating to that end. No apologies.”

Trump and Roy have clashed before. Trump also called for primary challengers against Roy in a Truth Social post about a year ago, though it came days after the candidate filing deadline for the 2024 primary in Texas, and Roy went unopposed.

Roy was one of the few House Republicans to back Trump’s rival in the 2024 Republican presidential primary, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis.

Trump’s second post about Roy on Thursday also brought up Rep. Bob Good (R-Virginia), who lost his primary this year after Trump endorsed his challenger.

“By the way, how’s Bob Good doing?” Trump asked.

Pay attention to that name - Vought. That’s Russ Vought, the incoming head of OMB. He’s very smart, competent, and practical. He knows how the government works and what strings to pull. He’s the policy brain of Project 2025 at Heritage and a true-believer, a self identified Christian Nationalist, and the guy I am most worried about. 
 

When the GOP manages to pull themselves together well enough to do real damage over the next four years, he will usually be at the center of it.

Me too, but on the other hand watching Trump repeatedly swoop in at the last minute to fuck up Vought’s plans because of something Trump saw on Twitter or someone who came into his office, and seeing their relationship degrade in public until the inevitable firing/disgrace/shunning will be fun.

There is nothing remotely surprising about this second term for Trump. Who he is and what he plans to do was right there under everybody's noses in bright, clear sunlight. Ignorance is no defense. In my lifetime, there has never been an election that painted a clearer picture of the American electorate.

There's no way anyone could say they think he's a good person or capable of running the country/world.  They're just lazy and willfully stupid.
