Damn, I was worried this (delusions/addiction) could happen, but had no idea it had already started.

The siren call of always being right, being vindicated, being praised, etc that is like crack to our social brains.

IIRC, the person who popularised the term 'godwins law', has come out to say comparing Trump to Nazi leadership is not a violation, as it's comparing apples to apples, not hyperbole or strawman argument.

Edit, Godwin himself said it's appropriate to compare the two

So much has happened, and this regime is not even a year old. . .

I just. . . I don't understand the internal logic. How can one get the cause-effect relationship so mixed up. . .

I mean I know the answer, fox news and similar propaganda, but the dichotomy hurts my brain.

Still happens, look at Russian MOD claims.

The training and requirements to be an ATC are insane, in a extremely thorough way. I highly doubt the Republican administration would be able to find competent replacements among their 'patriots'.

That said, I doubt further that they would actually care and not just tell people to eat cake, or just privatize the ATC network to some billionaire.

They say that like the law matters to ICE and the Republican administration.

The Singapore Customs is investigating a case where a man entering Singapore did not declare that he was in possession of assorted Pokemon trading cards worth more than $30,000 in total.
