Airline adopts the new "more than one ax handle wide" policy
Southwest airlines says, if you're seat is bigger than ours, that's gonna run you extra: "Woman Claims Southwest Canceled Her Ticket After Gate Agent Told Her She’s Too Big for One Seat".

The open wound
"America Can’t Heal From The Russia Hoax Because Mueller And His Ilk Faced No Accountability".
America cannot successfully move past the Russia collusion hoax until its founders and lawbreaking participants receive the legal reckoning they deserve. They and their antics did indescribable harm to the republic and the country’s democratic process that we’re still grappling with years later.
Mueller may be gone, but the destruction he left in his wake is beyond measure. Americans are right to demand justice for what he and his team did to the country. And until they get it, they have no reason to waiver in that desire.
Justice ignored will wither on the vine, and there will be nothing but raw, ideological power struggles. The founders would weep to see their near-miraculous creation degraded to a series of endless tribal wars.

Will it?
I have hopes, but I'm not certain about that: "Truth Will Out: A Grand Jury Investigates the Real Russia Collusion Conspiracy."
I'm very glad to see that that sleazy, preening oddball, James Comey, will be experiencing at least the inconvenience of a subpoena. And he is so bloated with self-regard that he may well wind up getting himself in trouble during his testimony; I can easily visualize him telling some story in which he's the hero, and getting caught in multiple lies. Keeping my fingers crossed.
