When you fire/squeeze competent professionals operating a legacy system w/ years of deferred maintenance, things start breaking. If that system does things like keep planes in the sky, well, pretty soon, people are going to start to die.

An update on my motion to DQ Andy Celli & his firm from representing Tish James in my whistleblower retaliation lawsuit: Order signed; No opposition allowed; Mr. Celli’s firm has until 6/13 to moot by withdrawing or the Court will decide my motion, for which it has found good cause. A first for me.

NYT reporter talking down at the world while not knowing his ass from a hole in the ground. Accepting a foreign emolument in violation of the U.S. Constitution is a corrupt act, and does not require even an implicit quid pro quo.
Corruption requires explict quid pro quo. It is not corrupt to take an action that aligns with the interest of a person who gives you a gift, unless the official action was in direct response to that gift--a bribe. Terms matter. Accuracy and fairness matters. Regardless of what social media wants.

Oceania has always been at war with Eurasia, Paul.
So let me get this straight: masks are bad and un-American if worn to fight a pandemic, but good if worn by people claiming to be government agents when they kidnap people off the street
