Never occurred to me, but makes sense. Is this something you just noticed w/hindsight or do you recall signals from news reporting at the time that it may have been something beyond an impulsive move from Musk?

I was always a little sad that X's emergence undercut Gab & Truth--who had done the right things--but X has really blossomed into the place for real discussion w/the widest demographic reach. Maybe just another of Trump taking one for the team in the short term.

A pragmatic reason to vote early is it helps Republican field ops focus their energy on lazy voters.

Everyone who has already voted requires no outreach.

A less conspiratorial explanation for him being at all the events: he and guys like Bricksuit are embedded SS/private security and it's part of their job to be well known as it facilitates conversation & interaction with the general public who are going to be seated in close proximity to Trump.

Brick Suit's video from that day:

Do you know which states permit paid ballot harvesting? It's fantastically difficult to dig for election information & history right now as all the search engines seem to have hand-crafted, generalized, "you should trust the process rather than ask questions" results...

The funny thing about Elon's petition is that on paper it's things Democrats claim is on their platform--hence it's really not even a partisan petition.

Most states have a "no electioneering" provision. For example:

https://statutes.capitol.texas.gov/Docs/EL/htm/EL.61.htm

Sec. 61.003. ELECTIONEERING AND LOITERING NEAR POLLING PLACE.

(a) A person commits an offense if, during the voting period and within 100 feet of an outside door through which a voter may enter the building in which a polling place is located, the person:

(1) loiters; or

(2) electioneers for or against any candidate, measure, or political party.

(a-1) The entity that owns or controls a public building being used as a polling place may not, at any time during the voting period, prohibit electioneering on the building's premises outside of the area described in Subsection (a), but may enact reasonable regulations concerning the time, place, and manner of electioneering.

(b) In this section:

(1) "Electioneering" includes the posting, use, or distribution of political signs or literature. The term does not include the distribution of a notice of a party convention authorized under Section 172.1114.

So what they'd be stopping her for is having a "sign" on her body. I suspect a court would ultimately permit someone to be tatted up and vote, and in the worst case make them cover it up.

Bottom line: if you have political tattoos, I'd advise putting a covering over them in the same manner some athletes have to do in certain leagues. Unless you want to make an example and initiate a Supreme Court case.

IMO the court has better things to consider...

I hate to be redundant, but in the interest of determining consensus: that was exactly how I first heard it.

That's wild. She wouldn't even respond.

Are there signs of intelligence in MA?

Liberal reaction to the interview is positive:

I suspect that in a hostile situation like this, her stupidity and stubbornness are assets. Deny and deflect onto Trump. Let slow-witted viewers interpret Brett's demands for cogent answers as hostility.

The best strategy for interviewing Kamala might be to play nice and get her comfortable. She seems to make her biggest mistakes and admissions when she's in a supportive environment. The audience seems receptive and her wheels start spinning, and before you know it her true inclinations are out in the open.

I pasted the video to this timestamp because there was a weird cutoff at the part where he talked about the accident where his wife and daughter were sacrificed/died.

"..kill my wife and kill my dau[ghter]...because of Ethel Kennedy"

Feels like a riddle....

Q: Who is actually the President, Mr. President?

A: It's a committee of people.

They might not know who the committee is.

They might not know themselves.

A group of people, in different levels of DC.

They surround a man that was not the most capable person.


Nothing in this answer implies an intent on the part of the committee, at least that I can see. This committee could be viewed either as caretakers of a fake POTUS, or a group of malicious puppet masters of a real POTUS.

When he says "levels of DC", it could refer to defined government institutions, or to levels of power.

Hmm perhaps there are multiple spellings floating around. I landed on one that was different earlier.

Logistically I can't begin to make it work. Even at the extreme edges of laws and norms and assumed state compliance.

The last possible shuffle opportunity was the convention and they went all-in with Harris.

Only thing I can come up with: kick off WW3 or some extreme natural disaster that fully suspends voting.

Looks like he had these parcels:

Interesting that this company paid the bills on the first parcel apparently. Debt collection agency in Irving TX?

*CORELOGIC #2 - 2023 - MAIN 3001 HACKBERRY RD IRVING, TX 75063

Why is there a $14,831,683.95 amount listed under proof of payment?

Article indicates Michael Fosler had cabal protection & may have been some sort of local VIP/diddler:

"We absolutely called 911 during the entire event," she wrote. "We had no idea this man was in contact with our child again. He was waiting 6-9 felonies for what he did, not 2. He was looking at the rest of his pathetic life in jail, and our daughter was the only witness."

"Some things we will never know, but we know that the police department afforded this predator privacy they did not give our family," she continued. "Including posting our home address. I’m deeply offended by the way this was handled by the county [sheriff's] office."

The woman added: "At the end of the day, our daughter is a victim and we have a long road of recovery for everyone. We are so thankful for all the calls, messages and prayers."

If the machine can be hacked, they can be secured..

Too many forget that 2016 Trump was allowed to win. If white hats permit a rigged election, it'll be by design like it was in 2020.
