It is a link to the PDF version of the documents because the FBI vault website was struggling to load their onsite viewer earlier. It shouldn’t automatically download, though, if you have a PDF viewer on your web browser.

This is the site link.

*are.

Couldn’t even correctly type a sentence in reply. Sigh.

Friendly reminder that women helped carry Trump across the 2016 finish line in multiple states. SourceAnd 2024. Source: There’s No Mystery: White Women Handed Trump the Election.

The undocumented illegal immigrant population used to steal the vote? Disproportionately male.

The vast majority of Epstein’s and Gates’ ilk? Male.

LGBT+ voters are the largest difference between Democrats and Republicans. Source

It’s also not our fault, as a sex, that men are voting less than women. Source

Perhaps you need to rally the good ole boys to the polls and stop blaming us for the poor decisions of SCOTUS judges we had no hand in selecting?

Reconcile reality to your frustration and disappointment. It’ll help everyone involved.

So glad my conservative voting record means less to you than the liberal men I work with who volunteer for The Squad.

Very logical. Much reason.

“From an (anonymous) official” is the equivalent of “My dad works at Nintendo and he said” to me at this point.

Every mockingbird is trying not to sing its last song. They need people to be against Trump/anyone attempting to rid this country of undue influence before the midterms.

These 14 points came from “a senior US official who had a phone call with reporters Wednesday morning” according to the sources reporting the “deal.”

I’m hoping it’s hogwash; I do not want to pay $300 billion to a country that already got pallets of cash from Kerry and Obama.

Obviously not a fan of UBI, but even if this scenario does play out in “our favor,” what is going to happen to the people who either are going to lose their jobs due to advancements or, alternatively, people like me who can’t find a job currently because AI is judging their resumes as trash?

On a societal level, I don’t want what’s happening in the recruiting sphere right now. I don’t want what is essentially an AI oligopoly deciding on a résumé’s score in advance of a human reviewing it. Algorithmic monocultures are already causing systemic bias issues because so few vendors are used by so many companies.

I understand some people want to create Skynet and maybe Trump is trying to prevent it from developing.

But I disagree with the assumption that an AI can be benevolent, because I have yet to see emotion expressed by “artificial intelligence.” I also reject the assumption that a pure logic machine is the apex of the technological future.

As a society, it seems like we’re moving toward leaving humans behind on either side of the process you’ve laid out, bubble. How do we keep that from happening?

Apparently it’s a form of B2 Visa

There is a type of B2 visa for "household members" of other nonimmigrants (e.g. you on H1b) that do not qualify for a derivative visa type. These "household members" can include co-habitating partners, elderly parents, etc. It is described in 9 FAM 402.2-4(B)(5) of the Foreign Affairs Manual. Such people can be admitted for an initial duration of stay of 1 year, and can apply for extension of status in 6-month increments indefinitely during the main nonimmigrant's stay in the U.S. This memo also describes the procedures of changing status and extending status for these people.

A new development full of insanely over priced houses went up near a family member’s residence in the last two years. 95% of that development consists of individuals of Indian and South Asian descent.

The worst parts of me wondered, as soon as I saw they brought every extended family member with them, who was paying for their new abode and tech job. I want people to achieve the American Dream, but when your American born friends can’t find jobs, when you can’t afford your own bills, when everything you’ve worked and dreamed of achieving is getting handed to immigrants that, in some instances, are paid to come here and take these positions, I have to admit I hope these people get sent home sooner rather than later.

I’ve never really followed him.

There’s always the option that he was being used to tease things to get people to make incriminating mistakes “before the story dropped.” There’s also always the option he was feeding people stories before publishing to make sure they fit the narrative. The fact Kortan was passing this draft on to Page and Strzok to make sure it read like they were ~just doing due diligence~ really grinds my gears.

Whenever someone tells me they’re a journalist I now say, “Oh, you like telling stories. Unlike a reporter, who just provides the facts.” They usually get offended, but I am tired of dealing with talking heads.

Yeah, it could be he was used as a plant that Page, Kortan, and Strzok were stupid enough to not see through in order to get them to dig a deeper hole for themselves re: “controlling the narrative.”

It’s also possible he also possesses a lukewarm IQ and was trying to help the FBI paint the picture they wanted. Kortan goes back to Page and Strzok in the full files I linked to ask if Solomon’s final draft was okay for publishing.

Solomon being a useful plant would be the only reason I’d consider him providing Circa’s story to the RussiaRussiaRussia squad for a “context check” would be acceptable.

I didn’t really have opinions about him, but perhaps this shows no one should trust someone who previously worked for WaPo…

Also, for anyone interested, there’s files in here related to Hillary’s emails. I’m not entirely sure why, other than Strzok and Page were asked by Michael Zapotosky if a grand jury was empaneled over her emails (because that was the reason given for the redactions, and the jury convening had not been made public at the time)

Can’t get the bloodwork covered I need to get prescription refills that would be honored at a site like that.

Just not worth it anymore.

I don’t think I’m making it to the end of this fight, everyone.

The financial burden has become too great, and I’m about to lose my health insurance coverage, which means I’m losing access to the medications literally keeping me alive.

I hope you all make it to better days. It’s been real.

This post is titled “if anyone had any doubts about Trump’s popularity amongst MAGA as we head into the midterms.”

Are you suggesting this was in relation to other midterms than those in November?
