Plans also change. This could be the plan for the moment and they shift as each side reacts to public response to the info.

I often wondered during the Biden debate if the reason Trump interrupted was to throw Biden off course as he repeated answers.

Isaac Hayes Jr. is definitely suing him. Not sure why as normally BMI would be handling that. It's an interesting one to follow though.

His MAHA policy is resonating with a lot of people in a non-partisan way.

Everyone knows our food and healthcare are shit. I can feel a growing awareness and demand for change on that front since RFK endorsed.

His ideas have been bottled up and blocked by Democrats for the entire election cycle, and now that he's with Trump they're going to be moved to the front of the discussion.

The most hardcore leftist journalists you can imagine have Truth Social installed and get alerts on each one of these. It must drive them nuts. 🤣

There is a lot of angry/confused discussion on the Arlington Cemetery visit.

So I think this idea of "why is Trump getting Presidential treatment" is definitely beginning to seep through, and it may actually be reaching low-info Democrat voters first (before say, Fox Republicans).

Interesting. Random audits are an extremely good idea as long as you can have some trust in the people and process.

A legitimate government will let people audit the results to their hearts content.

So what is the deal with Harris taking all of Trump's policies one by one? Is it a message to prepare ourselves for a Trump-controlled Harris admin?

Definitely one of the reasons I cut Kemp some slack. Hard to say you're a completely bad apple when one of your family gets bombed on a public interstate...

Can't recall ever seeing a SS agent with a mall cop temperament...

Seems plausible, especially with him having just outed the FBI's censorship.

I'm all ears if you know of any bigger names that might go Trump's way...

Keep in mind that endorsements can have a cumulative effect. No one knows the names of the 51 intelligence agents who lied about Hunter's laptop being a Russian intelligence op, but the fact that 51 intelligence agents would stab the president in the back (figuratively) affected many people's votes.

Also, while some of these names aren't big nationally, they are big regionally, and could flip some critical districts if they're timed right.

They need a non-Q narrative to fit their world view. This is what Trump is providing.

Making sure the logic works for folks out-of-the-know.

In line with this. I'm wracking my brain for who else could be possible.

Maybe Alan Grayson? He dragged a lite Fed Audit through to the finish line.

Cindy Sheehan--anti-war Democrat.

Marcy Kaptur--bank bailout opponent.

We may also be getting too clever here. If these people are selected to speak to the lost liberals in our lives, perhaps we should just let them and be around to gracefully welcome them when the time comes.

Thx fren. It seemed a bit too on the nose and I spot checked one and was unable to find a source. Thx to you & u/winn for being frosty and removing it.

People are seem to have become more friendly about being source-checked. It used to illicit some angry responses but now there are peaceable mea culpas...

Bottom line is we all have a lot of incorrect data floating around in our noggins and there seems to be collective acknowledgement that we can help each other shake it out.

The real unknown here is whether this was a paperwork messup, or they had to use sketchy collectors to get them over the top...

Ok interesting. I was reading the Rothschild's speech to British parliament regarding pasteurization and apparently a big part of the concern w/respect to pasteurizing is that a large % of British cattle had tuberculosis?

https://api.parliament.uk/historic-hansard/lords/1946/apr/10/pasteurization-of-milk#S5LV0140P0_19460410_HOL_10

You see any connection there? Maybe Rothschild knew how to cause the TB?

...we cannot deny it, that 40 per cent. of the whole of our cattle in this country react to the tuberculin test. But we have to bear in mind at the same time, that only one half per cent. of our dairy cattle yield tubercular milk, and, if we were to take the drastic steps in the matter of slaughter which are taken in the United States, where there is something less than one half per cent. of the cattle affected with tuberculosis, of course the availability of milk in this country would be reduced. Milk would not be so available in this country and, as a result, there would be an adverse effect on the health of the population, and especially that of the children.

I'll also note that again here we had the pattern of a test creating a lot of hysteria that seems out of proportion to the risk...

Damn them, it's the same fucking game....

I am also uttering this warning because there is a great deal of popular misconception on the danger to human health of milk which contains bovine tubercular germs. It is my experience from time to time to receive drafts of articles and books on various agricultural subjects with the request that I shall provide a foreword or preface. I received one only a week ago, and the proposed title of the book was, Your Enemy the Cow. That book, so far as I was able to read it, contained a good deal of information, although rather exaggerated, similar to that which the noble Lord, Lord Rothschild, has submitted to your Lordships to-day.

Damn them...

...by giving the distributors better-keeping milk, it would make the producers victims of price-bargaining.

Double damn them...

The noble Lord, Lord Rothschild, mentioned experiments at Reading University, and I would remind your Lordships of experiments by Messrs. Mattick and Golding into the nutritive properties of pasteurized milk, the results of which were published in the Lancet in 1931. I will not weary your Lordships with details, but it was conclusively proved that a diet of pasteurized milk reduced the fertility of rats by 52 per cent. Further research was described in the Lancet in 1936 when exactly the same results were confirmed.

Ok but this is kinda cool, electricity as a means of pasteurization without killing the nutrition?

I gather that the Committee, influenced to some extent by the views of the late Sir Oliver Lodge, supported the practical results but were not convinced that electricity acted on the bactericidal side otherwise than as a thermal agent. But that is not the end of the story. There was further research under the same heading and the results were published in 1925. These proved conclusively that electricity played the major part in the slaughter of the tubercle bacillus and did so at a temperature considerably below that considered requisite for pasteurization. Furthermore, this process did not discolour milk or give it any unpleasant taste.

I think the timing is really tight but it's something like:

Biden dies or gets the 25th

Trump wins the election

Kamala fights the result on the basis of good polling and challenges the result.

But I've been wrong about plenty of this stuff.
