I know a lot of Republicans who don't like Trump. I would say a solid 20% of the party hates him, especially in the liberal areas of the Pacific Northwest. You underestimate how many elite Republicans don't like Trump upsetting the apple cart that feeds them.

But they'll still probably vote for Trump vs. Biden or Big Mike. But throw RFK in there, and they might switch. "Might" is the key word. It's not a guarantee. It will change the dynamic for sure. But RFK will certainly siphon more legitimate votes away from the Democrats than Trump.

Still, nothing can change the minds of the dead voters who are solidly for the Democrats. Much depends on how much cheating they really get away with this time around.

The seat is from CA. The Obama's are currently residents of DC. So "Mike" won't be eligible to take the CA seat.

Kamala is from CA however, and Newsom has promised to nominate a black woman for the position. Kamala is the obvious choice. She is an ex-senator and currently the president of the Senate. The optics would be that she would sacrifice and move there permanently again for the good of the state, as there would be nobody else they could find in time. The last vacant senate appointment took 5 months to fill. Nobody would object to appointing Kamala to fill the vacant seat.

It's legal. It's exactly the same mechanism used to advance Gerald Ford to the presidency after Nixon resigned. All covered by the 25th Amendment.

The only thing I "know" is that we are in the middle of a psyop. Beyond that, a healthy amount of skepticism is just that...healthy.

I am suspicious of anyone who thinks they know the details of these scripted events we are experiencing. And there is no guarantee that Q's plan is God's plan. Everyone would do well to remember that.

Some context on this:

The illuminating part comes in one of the comments. It seems the city records indicated Trump's apartment was 10,000 sq. ft, but Trump claims it as 33,000 sq. ft. So where does this discrepancy originate?

It seems that the standard way they calculate sq. footage in commercial real estate (at least in NY) is by estimating the EXTERIOR of the building, including the outer walls, and if you take a cross section of the building, then you do get approximately 11,000 sq. feet. Makes sense if you have 12" thick walls in a skyscraper. Then, since Trump owns 3 floors, the commercial value was estimated at 33,000 sq. ft.

That doesn't mean the INTERIOR was 33,000 sq. ft. Only the typically accepted commercial calculation of value. So the question is, where did this 10,000 sq. ft estimate on the city records really come from? Were they recording the usable sq. footage inside the apartment? Sounds like it.

The sad thing is, few people will actually try and understand this. They will just hear Trump is a liar, and never research any further. But it does raise some interesting points. First, this nonsense will almost certainly be overturned the instant a non corrupted judge takes a look at it. Second, could this ruling force everyone in New York to revalue their commercial real estate holdings? Could be an interesting dynamic to watch.

Only typical reason I can think of that would do that is if she were leaving town to undergo a medical procedure. While she is under anesthesia she would be unable to perform her duties.

The only other possibility would be going somewhere so remote that she could not be contacted. Perhaps a very secretive, deep state gathering where any external communications are not allowed for any reason?

Whatever it is, I agree it's damn peculiar, and the stated reason doesn't make sense.

I can see the many Amicus briefs have just recently been filed on this case. I agree this could be an absolute game changer. Just dreaming about the SEC being gutted makes my heart soar. They are one of the most abusive government agencies in history.

But I'm not terribly familiar with SCOTUS procedures in situations like this. What is a reasonable timeframe to expect a decision?

I was thinking, when combined with "hear", that it might mean that he intends to start making announcements on two platforms again. We've been hearing for weeks rumors that he may be returning to Twitter soon.

Obviously the above is just wild speculation, but if it turns out to be true, what does that say about how much longer until the Storm is finally upon us?

BTW, a "praying mantis" can indeed kill and eat a hummingbird.

Hard to tell what this means.

2 platforms maybe? Is he announcing that he will start sending messages on Twitter again? We've been getting hints for the last several months that he will be returning soon.

We may never know what this really meant.

Or he had a heart attack because he got jabbed, and doesn't want to accept the two are related. Without more information, difficult to know.

Do you know who that actually is, and when that announcement was made? The description just says Under-Secretary, and I can't match that picture with anyone. I'd like to put that in context and spread it around.

Neo feudalism without the very important concept of noblesse oblige. At least the nobles of a few centuries past understood their tenuous position and felt some sense of responsibility to their peasants in exchange for allowing them to be the nobles. The criminals running the show today are just tyrants.

Calling it feudalism is being unfair to feudal states. This is slavery plain and simple.

The end result of capitalism is always a wealth pump that sucks everything into the hands of the few. In the beginning, when there is still much distributed wealth to be extracted, many can benefit from the money flows. But eventually the wealth runs dry and it will leave a 2 tiered system of the extremely rich and extremely poor.

There are, however, many other economic systems that can be tried. It was the sieve of the cold war forced every country into accepting either communism or capitalism. Before this, the economies of the world were much more diverse.

Free market distributism is an example of something that may be an option. As I read it, that is close to what you are describing.

I do all the time. And I usually get down voted for it.

The student loan scam is designed to create indentured servitude that is intentionally inflicted on society's most naive. Student loans are a crime against youths that needs to stop now. More importantly, blaming and punishing our children because they were victimized by this scam is not the way to redress the situation.

The general counter argument is that even if this was fraudulent, the taxpayer shouldn't be forced to bear this cost. On that we all agree. However, blaming the students is equally bad. The schools, banks and politicians that benefited from the scam should be required to repay these loans out of their own pockets.

I tend to agree. I've put the pictures of the suspected fake Biden against the real Biden through several mathematical tests of interocular distance, nose dimensions, etc. I have not found any convincing, incontrovertible evidence the face of the current Joe Biden is different from the face of the historical Joe Biden. Maybe he is, but I don't see enough of a difference to be convincing. I remain on the fence.

That is just a standard holding pattern. Looks like he's waiting for clearance to continue on his flight plan. It's an extremely common directive from ATC. Perhaps he changed something enroute and needed to wait for a new clearance? In any case, zero reason to suspect anything out of the ordinary.

Yep.

This question has been hashed and rehashed so many times on this forum. I think this is probably the one thousandth iteration of this subject. And it always comes down to this 1 issue.

Someone tries to justify why Trump had no choice, and yet they NEVER explain why Trump had to cheer lead so strongly for it. It's one thing to grudgingly hide the fact there is a minefield somewhere. It is quite another to actively encourage people to go into it. Sure, there is an argument that Trump made a strategic decision...that he was between a rock and a hard place and took the best path possible.

But that wasn't all Trump did. He went full on rock. He praised the vaccine beyond reason. And then he praised it some more. Why? Nobody can ever answer THAT question. Trump is very intelligent, an excellent speaker, and is quite adept at being coy with words. He also has some of the best minds on the planet behind him. There are a thousand ways he could have promoted the vaccine in a way that allowed each person to hear what they wanted to hear and believe what they wanted to believe. That would have at least allowed all of us to present alternative viewpoints to our friends and family who were convinced to take the vaccine due to his championship.

It is an enigma, and one that I hope Trump will personally explain someday under oath.

250 tons is the total gross weight. That includes fuel, and requires the load to be distributed perfectly throughout the plane. It's a very optimistic number achievable only in absolutely optimal conditions. In reality, cut down that number by a factor of 5-10 to get a realistic loading per flight. A better guess is that a really big plane could haul 50 tons of heavy pallets per flight. And there is no reason to assume they used the biggest planes available. Moving gold would be an occasion for a more stealthy approach.

Think about it. 650 planes is not an unreasonable number.

A Boeing 777 cargo plane, a cheap and ubiquitous option in the air logistics industry, can accommodate around 20 tons of heavy palleted cargo per flight.

I don't know what kind of planes they used, but using this as a benchmark, that would be around 13,000 tons of gold. The US is supposed to have at least 8000 tons of gold, so this isn't far off.

Maybe 650 was excessive or they didn't have the proper gear to take full advantage of the cargo capacity. Or maybe there was additional cargo on those flights other than just the gold. Or maybe they weren't using 777's and had a plane with a lower weight limit.

In any case, the number of plane loads is completely believable. I probably would have probably guessed around 300 if asked, but I can accept 650 is the true number.
