Not seeing much diversity in the pic of those 2,000 deputized. At least not in the front row or the close up.
It does fit the available evidence better than alternatives though
I'm not locked in here with you .webm
You'll drink free for life
Federal courts require federal arrests right? Otherwise DC DA could just release them without charge. So Federal Marshals would be a requirement(?)
What Trump supporters, no one is showing up to do anything
That makes no sense as a play. There won't BE any protestors. And just because the media lie about what's to come because the narrative matters for them, they all know there won't be protestors.
It feels like they are trying to prime the narrative
They wouldn't need to be deputized as US marshals to arrest military. The only purpose of that is to get around their inability to arrest civilians.
Don't you dare fuck with me
I mean, if you are planning on arresting thousands, from an operational standpoint at least, cutting that number in half by having a lot of them all voluntarily coalesce in a pre fenced off area would be a sick play for the history books. But delaying month(s) for that, idk.
Mar-a-lago was literally built as the winter white house
We won't be anywhere near the capital.
So either it's to arrest non existent protesters... or...
His plans are entirely dependent on whether the string pullers think he's a useful puppet. Nothing else matters. Not him getting recalled, not his covid response or the fire debacles.
Whomever they want will get frauded into the white house
Shit, they did it with Biden/Harris so it proves they can do it with literally anyone.
There is a line of thinking that reasons that the cause of failure is because people resisted and if only we had gone a little further, tried a little longer, been a little stricter.
In their mind there is a tipping point threshold to all things and that is why when things don't work they double down. Because this thinking is incompatible with self reflection and admitting being wrong, it is the common mode of thinking of politicians. People elect people who are never wrong (or at least genuinely profess so)
"What if these soldiers act rationally on what we as the guilty party know incontrovertibly happened? It's terrifying!!"
If you have savings, get it OUT of fiat.
Crypto should have been on your radar for years, but if it's not yet then please don't be the last person to the show after your bank account and stocks have been seized for 'non compliance' and other wealth redistribution commie bullshit.
Good luck my dude
To be fair, she was 3 when she arrived.
But while her parents may have loved the ethos of America, and we theirs, second generation immigrants are more likely to regress to their historic environmental norm than continue their parent's divergence from the norm that spurned their immigration in the first place.
Rather than spit on our liberties, and try to force America to look the way she is built to need where no one can offend her, and no one thinks differently and she is safe in the familiar, she should seek it out. It already exists. She's destroying a unique culture, and attempting to doom a people who have no where else to go; no where else in the world looks like liberty, while many places look like top down authoritarian socialist shithole propaganda group think hug boxes. Fucking thrown a dart on the world map.
It's not that the concepts are foreign, or unlearnable, or un appreciable even. But rather it goes against generations of selection for individuals suited to a particular environment.
After hundreds of years in an environment of 'no one is going to help you, but the sky is the limit' nature selected for family oriented individualists who thrive when you get out of their way and stagnate when they are boxed in. That's America. It's you and I. Generations where liberty was first and foremost. Where you were free to fail, and free to succeed. Where merit was king and we reaped what we sowed, got out what we put in, rose or fell in accord with our actions. It's an environment where anyone could do anything and you were going to be routinely offended, disagree, and would still need to get along and work together regardless.
While the US has gladly accepted individuals whose ethos aligned with our own, who themselves diverged from their historical norm abroad, their children unfortunately run the gamut. There are those few who continue their parent's trend, but more commonly are the cases which regress to the mean. Two tall parents are more likely to have children shorter than them than as tall or taller.
Once you realize this, you'll understand why you can love so dearly first generation immigrants, but have such ideological differences with second gens. More often than not, they are a phenotypic regression to their historic environmental mean. And while over sufficient generations, those children who are well suited to the new environment would be fruitful while those many who aren't would not, that future is generations away.
In the here and now, we have millions of second gen immigrants, who are not suited to their environment, who are trying to reforge it to suit them. In a way, you can't blame them. But they are doing so without regard for others who don't share their desire, doing so without regard to the rules of the game (liberty) and are doing so knowing full well there's no other environment that suits us, while plenty that suit them. Top down authoritarian socialist collective-first countries abound. We've withstood a hundred years of safety nets designed so the unsuited wouldn't diminish away as they should have.
It needs to be said that while it is true that behavioral proclivities are not uniformly distributed across groups, individuals and sub groups can still diverge non uniformly from their group.
But more to the actual point, some of those behaviors can contradict. For example, you can have an increased proclivity towards liberty in groups or individuals also coassociate with increased proclivity to seek out and right injustice in a particular group.
So while a particular group may be distinct in the degree it collectively holds individualism and liberty, that example may come to a head with its nature to seek out injustices to fight in circumstances where no more outside the bounds of liberty exist, therefore putting their interests in liberty at risk as they desperately invent or exaggerate causes to champion because otherwise a large part of who they innately are has no means of expression.
Wait. POTUS coming back and deescalating was a RISK and a cause for them to 'continue their evaluation'??
Words don't have defined meanings anymore.
When you can't win the argument, change the definitions of the words used in the winning argument so the accepted truth become your losing position.
EG
"Racism is always bad" - is a winning argument
"Racism is ok when I do it" - is a losing argument
So what if we amend the definition of "Racism" to require "...institutional power"? Racism against whites is ok now!
"People must be treated equally" - is the winning argument
"PoC need special treatment" - is the losing argument.
So what if we change the definition of "equality" from equal treatment to equal outcome? Then we can institute the losing argument while laying claim to the logic of the winning argument!
Yes but no.
Not just anyone could access, there's no public flag for example. But you could hand out the credentials to anyone to access whenever.
The issue I had was the notion that it required a central server to access and distribute, which isn't how SIA works. I could store a webpage, say a thread on TD, on SIA then access with my credentials, but could also give you the credentials to access as well.
TD mainpage could embed credentials for each threat the main page summarizes for access when you click them. And the mainpage could behind a permanent public key.
Now, it's important to note that I am NOT proposing this as a solution or a path to one. It's not viable when it comes to writing content and sharing, and who gets to do that, and how do you track and distribute it.
But only to illustrate my contention with SIA requiring a central server to act as a gateway.
Going back to my original post, it still comes down to the cloud with the silver lining
Making it (or something similar) work for regular public access would be additional work, but the foundation is there.
She's trapped in DC, can't leave, surrounded by tens of thousands on NG that both support trump and believe the election was rigged, while just now being deputized to make arrests of civilians, watching the top lawyer for the NSA installed at the last second of an 'outgoing' president.
At what point does this top qualifying as hopium?
