The drowned rat in middle is Sally Moyer, who worked on the Clinton probe and who was also sleeping with a coworker whom she also texted TDS drivel back & forth with. Hers were the usual drumpf/Fuck Trump/I'm With Her stuff, but ones that the lover texted said

‘Doesnt matter what we have, political winds will want to beat the [primary elections]

someone has breathed some political urgency into this [Clinton investigation].

The heffalump at the bottom is Kevin Clinesmith, who just got probation for altering a document that was used as evidence in the Carter Page FISA case. The document had said that Page was a CIA asset, and Clinesmith changed it to say exactly the opposite. He's also the jackass who managed to mangle at least 2 languages in 3 words with his " viva le resistance" text.

Remember this summer when a group of BLM kids showed up to protest in Berthoud, a small town in Northern Colorado, and got herded out of town by irate residents and police on horseback, like an antifa cattledrive? Berthoud is in Weld county, haha.

(To be precise, it's half in Weld & half in Larimer County , which would be interesting for them if this proposal went through.)

That's why I doubt there will ever be legitimate, adversarial, competent official audits that actually try to identify fraud and significant error.

Did you miss Antrim County?

I think they're referring to this: https://patriots.win/p/11SKC2HDrI/maricopa-county-audits-dire-upda/ Very worth a read for extra info.

And thank you for continuing to post about this; a lot of people miss the stickies that are only up for an hour or less. And this is so important right now; if the sham audit goes through, it not only makes sure that no investigation will ever take place anywhere again, but also gives Dominion all the ammunition it needs to drag everyone who even mentioned their fraud through the court system until they are utterly destroyed. Dominion seems to already have a hit list. I suspect that setting up all that prosecution is the main impetus for the sham audit that the board wants to have done. And we cannot let that happen, especially not to the people who have fought hardest to bring the truth to the public.

Not just to make him look bad and discredit him, but also to paint a target on his back, and to create mistrust and dissension in the group by enacting a soft "cutting the head off the snake" / "leadership decapitation." They know there will be a natural rift between those who think any cooperation with the FBI is suspect, even if it was against people trafficking in drugs and human beings, those who don't have any problem with that, and those who may not have a problem with that, but question whether he'd rat out his brothers if he's been an informant before to save his ass. Basic disagreements like this will rip apart any organization, especially one built on affiliative connection. What Reuters, and whoever instructed them, did here was some very effective strategic cointelpro tactics.

I felt this in my soul.

As an aside, if those subtitles are in Mandarin, it adds a special level of honk.

Dogs and the air from the ocean are some of the best things on earth.

Old cliché of 'best things in life are free' are true. Just make sure you own your roof.

Indeed. Wisdom.

Looking at applying for a corporate job at minimum wage after my industry, that had a huge opportunity for private practice, and cost me thousands of dollars and years of my life for all my training & advanced certification, was nuked by corona bullshit. God have mercy on my soul.

My apologies; I didn't mean to come across as a condescending asshole.

I did supply my knowledge, for whatever it's worth, and that was to organize offline or on an encrypted server amongst people you know personally and trust. That is all. Best of luck; I hope we all get through this.

All of which emphasizes how much the internet is not a place to truly organize, especially an open forum such as this. Everyone who is smart is quiet, every click logged.

I've formerly been an organizer. That shit doesn't happen within days after this kind of upset, with everyone under the microscope like this, unless you have the kind of inviolable ground game that is vanishingly rare. The fact that you think otherwise tells me that you have never put in that footwork.

Yes, this. Still happy to see her get drummed out, but this is really a clear-eyed analysis, unfortunately. Username checks out.

I never liked any of the above, tbh, and am extremely distrustful of politicians. The system is set up not to allow anyone in who doesn't protect power in one way or another. If they don't go along to get along, and trade away some of their integrity along the way, they find that there will be no one willing to support their legislation, and will be blocked from getting anything done until they're eventually removed from -I would say "power," but that's the point; they're never allowed to have any.

You can see it most clearly in the Dem party because they do everything out in the open: for example, AOC, after openly going against Nancy Pelosi, proposing the Green New Deal and getting zero support, and the party going out of its way to make sure their contacts in the press turned the humiliation up to 11.

And it wasn't so much because the legislation was terrible, which it was. It was because she was still criticizing the party leadership. They let, even encouraged, her to bring out this ridiculous legislation and have it shoved in her face how unready for the big leagues she was. She bent the knee right after that, and has now been fulfilling her role as their crazy attack dog. Loyal to the party and only targeting Trump and his supporters, in ways that the party sets up but can feel one step removed from. Plausible deniability and all that.

It will be interesting to see how Hawley, as a freshman senator who kicked against the current, is treated by the R party establishment from here on out.

My read on Matt is that he is very, very ambitious and far more intelligent than almost all the other politicians he works with, and he knows it. He also knows that the base is done with useless neocons, and MAGA is the future. Some of the policy positions I think he genuinely really cares about (I think that's the case with anti-intervention, for example,) but some is just political posturing. He's kicked out one of the major corrupting influences by not accepting corporate/pac money.

He's a real fighter, which we need, but he's definitely fighting sometimes more for his own advancement and position than for deeply held values. And honestly, that's the very best we can expect from politicians. That his self interest and the nation's self interest are intertwined. And that he's not a weak man, and Matt certainly is not that. That alone is rare beyond diamonds in DC.

He's got my support, absolutely. But not uncritically.
