OP, Makes me wonder about the watch California post.... California, I believe was the model for the nation in vote fixing and elite anointments. Somebody I grew up with was assigned security for certain politicians past and present and the conversations he overheard while driving them go straight to the point. They talked of who they were going to put into power and where/when, as in heels up and current gov.. No talk of possibilities, just straight up “they will be in that position “.
