Looks who is stepping in:
"Jennifer Higgins, the current associate director of Refugee, Asylum and International Operations at U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, will step in as a temporary chief of staff until a new appointment is made"
Homeland Security run by a current leader of the Refugee/Asylum/Immigration Department is not good.
I don't think Trump wins with two outsiders. Too much chance for the media to reign down on them relentlessly. At least with Pence they thought they had their "back up plan" in Impeachment/25th amendment.
Pence was great as a calming figure on the ticket as well. Good ying/yang with Trump.
Trump likely doesn't trust any of these guys, his circle is extremely small. He uses and abuses his enemies to do his bidding for a time until they attempt to turn on him. He's already ready when they do and kicks them to the curb.
You need to play in the system to destroy the system in this case. Too many outsiders and no one gets confirmed to the Cabinet. Trump had to walk a fine line to get things done.
Reserve judgement until we get more info on this. It's so new we don't have any specific details.
Wait for more info, y'all.
This is always a dangerous time during these events. All speculation.
I have not been able to find any video footage or additional photos of this press conference.
That doesn't answer the question of why all of the faces behind Durham are perfectly framed.
This is also an HD digital photo from a camera, not video footage or video footage quality. If it were a video camera I would understand the need for a set place for Durham to approach, but it's not. This would have been easily taken by a hand held digital camera.
I'm looking for it right now, no luck yet.
How would Durham know where his "best look" will be? The angle of the camera would frame him, it would not be decided by where he stands.
The microphones alone do not look off, but when you add the microphones to the list of perfectly placed items in the photo, it doesn't seem organic.
This looks like a press conference that would have been video taped as well as recorded and photographed. Maybe we could find out if there are any videos of Durham available.
For now, this photo looks a little too clean to me.
There are multiple microphones coming from different angles, yet the cameraman has an unobstructed view of Durham. Even the boxes on the microphones are aligned closely with the photos, with nice clean generic channel names.
The NEWS CHANNEL 8 microphone holder appears to be crouching for no reason as well. It doesn't look like an organic photo.
Literally the only word that overlaps between military in control and what Trump said in this quote posted by OP is the word "in". It's a reach at best, y'all.
Still too cryptic to connect these dots.
George is most certainly Soros.
Just as we all thought, McConnell is a turncoat.
Everytime we put our trust in these numbskulls, they show their true colors.
What can we do to expose them faster?
Show the world, don't tell them.
The slow crawl towards mandatory hyperbaric chambers is here.
Imagining paying for the luxury of fresh air.
You can't ever know what's being hidden from you if there is no baseline. Think about it for one second. You claim to be 'awake' simply by contributing to this board, yet you can't see through the emotional pull of a word?
That word has been turned in to a weapon to silence. If you are stuck on a word then you can be manipulated by a word. Look around, we live in a world of complex propaganda. You need these proverbial 'canaries' to ensure that some sort of free information flow is guaranteed. You need to allow something offensive if you ever think this board will allow a truly shocking exposition if/when it comes out.
Imagine if the "Storm" we all talk about really finally hits, but this board, which we believe to be a bastion of the GA movement, turns out to be a limited hangout. How would we ever know? You need something offensive allowed so that you know real shocking news won't be censored.
Put simply, that word represents the antithesis of PC culture, and all of us here know that PC culture is meant to shut you up.
This board is an established community
This board is literally the watered down, PC version of all of its predecessors. That's why we are here, that's our "established community", we are a bunch of orphans, so back off the gatekeeping. Our boards were slowly throttled, quarantined, shutdown or straight-up banned. Now we are here, the site that follows all of the ridiculous rules that all of our other boards either could not or would not follow. That's the real culture here. This is the playground that 'they' let us have.
I won't say that. But you are correct that typing on a message board essentially does nothing. What we should be doing here, and some are, is preparing ourselves for the real world. Interacting with the constant barrage of propaganda needs to be something we are prepared to overcome.
The biggest plus I've received from these boards going back to the OG 4chan, is the power to see beyond the bullshit. Everything nowadays tries to pull at your emotional heart strings. Be cold and calculated when they want you weak and emotional.
Too many people still need to learn this, everyone is too sensitive. This board included.
You are fundamentally misunderstanding the meaning of the term "canary in a coal mine" if that is your sentiment.
You made a conflicting statement. I can ask you to reconcile.
Don't be so emotional. This isn't a personal attack on you, we are all on the same team.
Alright buddy, didn't mean to make you mad.
I thought I'd shine a light on why people push to use that word on information boards like this one, but I guess you would rather live in your comfort bubble.
Don't let a word hold so much power in your mind. It's not healthy.
What concerns me is that some people seem so admant about using that word...it's like their whole day is ruined unless they are allowed to use a word that is offensive
don't give a rip about 'edgyness'
These are two contrasting opinions. You posted these quotes within 30 minutes of eachother.
Does it concern you, or do you not give a rip?
I'm not implying anything, I specifically laid it out.
The point is that it's not necessary. What is a canary doing in a coal mine other than acting as a measuring tool? The canary serves no purpose other than as a warning.
If you care about people, you care about the free flowing exchange of information. "I don't give a rip about 'edgyness'" means you should embrace the word, that was why I said forget about the 'edgyness'.
You can parse words but this is an online media platform in which we are socializing. By definition this is a social media platform.
Information crowd-scourcing is just a different term for the same thing.
The word is meant to be the canary in the coal mine. That's it.
If you can use that word, how do we know there aren't other words being banned that aren't being discussed?
It's more than what you all are claiming here. Don't get caught up in the 'edgyness'. It's always been the proverbially canary in the coal mine.
Right. Just don't engage, that's the ultimate weapon. It's a stressful time for everyone, people are looking to snap at others if given a reason.
The list of people on that call could easily be a who's who of the Cabal.... Wow.
