The incompetence of this administration is staggering.
Picture of New York times headline that reads "U.S. Military Plane and JetBlue Flight Nearly Collided Over Caribbean, Radio Traffic Shows" Sub headline reads: "The Air Force refueling tanker was flying without its location transponder activated and could not be detected by air traffic control."

This administration is built around pretexting. Claiming an "emergency" in order to deploy troops on American soils. Claiming "drug shipments" in order to murder foreign nationals without trial. Using a shooting, a DAILY OCCURRENCE in America, as a pretext to suppress free speech.

When corporations bow to censorship to protect the bottom line, the only way to send them a message is to affect their bottom line.

I recently hired a handyman to fix a leaky toilet. But then he decided to remodel my bathroom against my wishes. I told him he wasn't allowed to do that.

He called me a hypocrite, saying that since I was already utilizing his services for some things, I was no longer allowed to pick and choose.

I love how the New York Times soft pedals the lede, saying that firing the head of the Labor Bureau "echoes" the authoritarian playbook, as opposed to " comes directly from" the authoritarian playbook.
New York Times headline, "Trump's efforts to control information echo an authoritarian playbook". The sub headline reads, " President Trump fired the officials who compiled job's data, underscoring his tendency to suppress facts he doesn't like and promote his own version of reality."

Four panel comic strip of a woman talking to an immigration officer at a desk labeled international arrivals Panel One. Officers asks, what is the purpose of your visit. Woman responds, I'm a tourist on summer holiday. Panel 2: officer says, hmmm... Our database shows that in 2018, you liked an Instagram comment critical of the president's necktie. Panel 3: officer says, I see your in-flight movie choice was Walter Salles's "I'm still here" about Brazilian dictatorship. And you had a friendly conversation with your seatmate who has already been deported to Libya for supporting gay marriage in an AOL instant messenger chat in 2001. Panel 4. Officer yells, Bobby, another terrorist! A masked man appears behind the woman, reaching to grab her, saying, on it sir!
