The violent ejection of a passenger by United Airlines from a flight reminded me of an incident from 1997 in Central Asia. Little did I know that the ridiculous practice of overbooking would eventually come to the United States in even worse form than what I witnessed and mocked at the time.
Syrians Miss Obama’s Kinder, Gentler Bombing Style
After running a campaign as an extreme isolationist, Donald Trump’s cabinet of generals and billionaires and billionaire generals convinced him to respond to an alleged Syrian government chemical weapons attack with a cruise missile attack on a Syrian airfield. Liberals are largely against this act of militarism, this despite the fact that Obama got the U.S. involved in Syria in the first place.
The Democratic Resistance
You know how some Jews take offense when people make dumb comparisons to the Holocaust or to Nazism? That’s how I feel when I read ridiculous comparisons between what the Democratic Party is doing — or more likely not doing — to resist Donald Trump and actual resistance movements around the world. All these Democrats are trying to do is co-opt the term resistance without actually resisting.
