coming across this article on the testing of the B-58 Hustler ejection

"Not only has the past year seen an American president borrow despotic language
to refer to the free press, but it seems he has in turn inspired dictators and
authoritarians with his own language. We are not in a 'fake news' era, as
Bashar Assad says. We are, rather, in an era in which the authoritarian impulse
is reasserting itself, to challenge free people and free societies, everywhere."
- Jeff Flake United States Senator (R) AZ
