Trump's policy chops are truly underrated. He's landed the most divisive issue on the ballot in the least divisive place possible.

IMO he's signaling to us that this is the place to set trenches and dig in. Be wary of people urging us to legislate abortion at the national level where it can split the country again. Fight at the state level and create constitution-changing quality of consensus first.

I was thinking this FBI notice, which was also discussed on the PPshow:

https://www.ic3.gov/Media/Y2024/PSA240425

Notice that Dowd doesn't say action to end self-custody, he says "cut off". The cutoff point for the average person is being unable to remove crypto from their exchange/brokerage/scammer.

People who use unlicensed cryptocurrency money transmitting services may encounter financial disruptions during law enforcement actions, especially if their cryptocurrency is intermingled with funds obtained through illegal means.

^ TBH this almost reads like a warning to the cabal: we're about to have to do enforcement so move your ill-gotten gains now before they are frozen...

Nunes definitely bringing attention to it. We'll see how it goes. So far Congress has managed to avoid doing anything. Maybe we can get more traction making it a partisan issue.

The only way this story could be any better is if the thief turns out to be Sam Brinton.

It's amazing how differently even in our little space here we can see things. I feel like I'm seeing constant affirmation that we're on track.

As for post-Trump, it's directly addressed:

I think most of this is acknowledging patent criminality of former administrations in Trump's perceived defense.

u/#q2786

^ This hypothetical is 100x more enjoyable when read in the context of #2786, because Kagan is asking the obvious question rather than the interesting question.

Of course a former POTUS should be held responsible for staging a coup--but it wouldn't be a state prosecutor that would hold them to account--it would be the current CiC.

Does anyone have any details or the original documents circulating from Council for National Policy via Ginni Thomas and the alternate electors strategy?

It just occurred to me that although I've heard it frequently mentioned, I've never sat down and read the documents, and now I'm having trouble tracking them down.

There's loads of stupid debunk sites but I can't find the actual original documents.

I'm getting a foreshadowing overload from these hypotheticals, from all the justices...

Tbh I think there is some very good discussion here. When Kagan was pressing Sauer on a former POTUS staging a coup I was surprised to the degree he was digging in and deflecting. Does Kagan know something or is she just curious?

Clip does not mention alternate slates of electors. Would be careful about referencing Becker...

Agree that it feels like in reality Trump is arguing against immunity.

Most important though is simply defining the terms of conflict. When does immunity apply? Get it defined and understood by the public.

Then white hats will prosecute the former presidents in line with that standard. Doesn't really matter what SC decides. Plenty of valid interpretations.

If we have enough good people working the polls it lays the foundation for human checks of the machine counts.

Poll workers swear an oath each day on the job. That oath and a bit of legislature backing is the ticket to performing a human check on the counts.

Also critical to keep in mind that there is cheating beyond the machines. Multiple levels are needed in elections that are not close. Remember that poll workers threw out poll watchers in contested city precincts.

Yup. Bodego visit also emphasized that.

Trump is the only American in history to be charged for having a loan higher than the assessed value of a property. It's an utterly assinine charge that demonstrates how asleep a huge % of the population is.

I don't monitor it too closely but IMO it seems much less manipulated than GME and others.

Basically no one can explain GME. Massive retail buy interest but steady downward trend. Price action and volume have no relation to company news.

I think everyone would agree that DJT is highly speculative in nature and it's value essentially boils down to what Trump can do with it. The lack of share availability is indicative of most insiders holding.
