The license fee makes it different. Your average Republican is delighted that Trump gets $16 million from CBS shareholders. Now imagine the UK's system in the US. "Shareholders" become fee payers: every household that receives live TV. When a billion of their fees goes right to Trump are they happy?

We would do well to remember the Russian operation on Trump has long used the ME as a bypass (and I still wouldn't be surprised if the Egypian bribe was a pass-through), especially w/Witkoff and Dmitriev at its center.

A Trump supporter started murdering his way through an assassination list of Democratic law makers FIVE MONTHS AGO. He murdered my colleague Melissa Hortman, and her husband Mark — and attempted to assassinate my dear friend John Hoffman and his wife Yvette. I was also on the hit list. WTF

And to be clear, the six reported injuries were nosebleeds, which is what happens when you have barotrauma.
I’ve been asking since June, if a passenger is handcuffed and the handcuffs are attached to a chain around their waists, can they even reach up to grab their masks? Seems like no.

KERNEN: When Trump keeps saying 'prices are falling,' that's not true. I think you should admit that.
HASSETT: But purchasing power has gone up by about $1,200 this year. It's just astonishing to me that the cost problem is somehow being blamed on us.
