Ah, right, of course the FAA is plopping unqualified people down in air traffic controller chairs to fulfill diversity goals, just like fits with Don's delusions. Except that isn't happening, ATC's have to undergo a rigorous physical and mental health check. There are plenty of other jobs in the FAA that this policy applies to.

Biden: puts Lina Kahn in charge of the FTC

Lina Kahn: Goes after monopoly behavior, non competes, etc

Trump: Promptly fires Lina Kahn, day one

Protonmail: Clearly Republicans are for the little guy!

The violent protests didn't do shit either, they just pissed off the rest of the citizenship. When protests turn to violence, all too often it's against the businesses that the peasants frequent.

I saw signs around Portland for a January 21 protest. From what I've heard, it was a lot smaller than what Portland saw in 2017. It's hard to read the tea leaves on why that is.

The context for that quote was a 2011 interview. The Obama administration was having trouble working with the Republicans because the Tea Party movement had gotten a lot of firebrands elected where working together with Democrats to effectively govern was unthinkable. The Republican House leadership since then has been weak, which has led to multiple government shutdowns.

Sternly worded letter? Ineffective bleating? Or maybe they'll escalate to expelling a diplomat or two.

And some phones have some excellent cameras. I've taken some pretty decent shots with my phone camera, like this one of a squirrel eating pizza. Without carrying around a camera literally all the time, I never would have caught that shot.

Same with many of the abuses that we've seen caught on camera recently. There are some problems with videos that lack context, but authorities can't just act with impunity in their face and expect to not have a camera in their face.

It is a cherry picked headline. Here is another from the AP that gives a different story: "Middle East latest: Israel plans an extended occupation of Syrian buffer zone"
