AYFKM? If you were ever in doubt about the Republican party.
"The Coast Guard will no longer classify the swastika as a hate symbol.

"Instead, the Coast Guard will classify the Nazi insignia as 'potentially divisive' under its new guidelines.

"The new policy similarly downgrades the definition of nooses and the Confederate flag."

Has the US navy considered simply strapping a bunch of pool noodles to their F-18s? I'm not a naval warfare expert but that's what they do in my kids' swimming classes and so far the results are 0 sunk kids vs 2 sunk F-18s

How does this even work? Stop the movie at the border? Or collect on every ticket? Sundowning again.
Deranged Trump is now putting a 100% tariff on movies made outside the US.

"'Newark airport cannot handle the number of planes that are scheduled to operate there in the weeks and months ahead', Kirby said in a message posted on United’s website." It is also reported that United accounts for 75% of the traffic at Newark (EWR). The costs of the Trump presidency keep rising.
WSJ: After tech to manage air traffic failed several times in recent days, 20% of the FAA controllers at Newark Airport walked out.

Now, United has canceled 35 daily RT flights from Newark. FAA staffing at Newark is too low to handle the planes scheduled, United's CEO said. Gift link!
United Airlines Cancels Newark Flights After FAA Staff Walks Out
United has been urging the government to limit the number of flights to what an airport can realistically manage based on staffing, CEO Scott Kirby said.

Yes. A local photography club. If you have a local co op art gallery, you might pick up a photographer’s card and see if they can help.
Any local camera stores? They might run something or know about ones.

Are you looking for basic exposure and operation, or more advanced stuff?

The best way to get better I've found is a local photography club. Especially if they run judged critiques.

Trump: "Have you noticed that lots of law firms have been signing up with Trump? $100 million. Another $100 million for -- ah -- damages that they've done ... they give me a lot of money considering they've done nothing wrong."

Senator Sheldon Whitehouse: "As the Trump damage mounts, is it not time to consider cognitive failure, ignorance, emotional instability, and an increasingly maniacal character as the problem?"

Yup. Can see that one coming.

One thing the Democrats can do (and don't seem to be doing) is coordinate on/publish a 'here is what we we will do to reverse Trump' set of proposed measures. Republicans made it clear that they would overturn JCPOA, damaging its credibility from outset. Dems should do same for the shitty stuff.
2/ So: If you're a company trying to figure out whether to invest billions in moving manufacturing to the US, one thing you have to consider is that by the time your plant gets built, the thing that would have given it a comparative advantage vanishes.
