One of my favourite books. I've a bit of a soft spot for A.E. Pessimal's arc.

Excluding Fox news et al. It's about headlines:
Heroic Trump stops violet anti-american protests in LA
Or
Trump overreacts and deploys troops against peaceful protesters.
Don't make it easier for him to get the first one.

One suggestion I remember reading ( unfortunately can't recall author) was to have the instructions for doing the restore be created by the people doing the restore.
often it will be junior members of the team doing it, more experienced staff might leave out steps as they assume everyone knows them

I'm not sure about polls like these. Does asking the question give them an air of legitimacy, is there a discussion to be had etc. if the majority was in favour of any of these, would they be any less insane/illegal.

Businesses love uncertainty, it makes planning for the future much more fun.
No one is going to make any major investment decision until while Trump is in power.

So let's get this straight:
Government loses case in federal court, and a long as they don't appeal it to the supreme Court, it's OK for them to ignore the ruling.
Is that the position?

If I was running an ad against Donald Trump or Elon Musk, I would do a variation on Anthony's speech in Julius Caesar.
List all the terrible things going on, but rather than say "Brutus is an honorable man" say, "don't worry Donald Trump will be fine."
