You beat me to it but Kent State must never be forgotten. The fact that nobody was ever punished (or even tried as far as I know) for the blatant murders of innocents still raises my ire after all these years.
Well, so far they've simply been using a red-cross marked helicopters to harass the protesters, in itself probably a violation of the laws of war (and Trump did say it was a war, didn't he?). There are always helicopter gunships and armed drones and maybe one of the AC-130 Spectre slaughter machines for the really big crowds. Given Trump's mentality, possibly caused by his bone spurs, there is probably no limit to what might happen and with the Senate and Courts as wholly-owned subsidiaries of the GOP there won't be any pushback there. [posted semi-sarcastically but the more I think about it...]
This is clearly a business. To be successful in business one must learn early on to delegate tasks to those best able to carry them out or the most economical to achieve the desired ends: The art designer will not be tasked with doing data entry. The CEO will not be spending time emptying the trash.
Barely worth noticing. AT&T stopped doing repairs and installs around here many years ago -- my neighborhood copper is vintage 1959. Calls about wires down and lying across the road get routed to the Philippines or India, get put on hold for an hour, and then are ignored. No kidding, in my neighborhood there are wires down from a falling tree in December.
"...(not something he can write away with an executive order)."
When you have the Senate and Supreme Court on a short leash almost anything is doable, constitution and laws be damned. This is especially so in an election year when the "base" is slavering for liberal blood both literally and figuratively.
As a casual observer who is dealing with another truly crappy provider named AT&T, it certainly seems that the only real roadblock to action is Pai and the other Trumpian appointees and GOP-vetted judges. There are any number of governmental failings and, in one way or another, most of them can be traced back to a single source.
...and surely by coincidence and on the same day, all of the state's police agencies have announced new records retention policies requiring immediate destruction of all records related to police conduct "to maintain necessary security of ongoing investigations."
Admittedly, I'm probably a lot older than most people reading here but I remember the Tom Terrific, an animated short which appeared on the old Captain Kangaroo children's TV show. I'd think that this usage would have precedence over all the newcomers.

Always more to come

Well, why not?

Yeah, why not?
How could anything possibly go wrong with automated remote phrenology?
It All Depends
Eh, no big deal

Sure?

What about the captain?
