IMO the people that really want to walk-the-walk on this position need to show up and cast a blank ballot.

That's right. You walk down to the polling station. Stand in line. Show your id. Receive a ballot. Then you either cast it blank (to the utter confusion and consternation of the poll workers) or you walk out of the facility with it uncasted.

Otherwise it's just an excuse.

Snowden had a few comments on this hire.

I'll have to say that I essentially agree with the thrust of what's being said by Snowden/Amash, etc. I can't ever say I really trust such a program even when it's implied it's in the "white hats" hands.

But it is funny to see the press tied up in knots about this one agency when they're enthusiastic and dismissive of concerns about all others...

I think if he's part of Q and is on the OpenAI board it's just something worth having in the back of one's mind, and may bring clarity to future events,

Definitely feel better about the future of OpenAI with him helping to watch over things..

I suspect RK has some sort of higher level (military) link because the quality of his memes, presentation, and bets are so high and consistent.

I suspect both he and RC would not DRS until they need to in order to trigger advancement to a later stage.

TBH it's to our collective benefit because it's allowed apes to accumulate at a lower cost for three years and plant the seeds for wealth distribution into citizens with discernment all over the world. It's also trained us on market operations, legalese, bankruptcy proceedings, etc. It's our time in the desert away from popular finance that has hardened our skills and resolve.

RC & RK let apes in the lifeboats (DRS) first.

This needs to be stickied. I'm putting together a little image of the timeline of Nakasone and his cooling off period. He'd be free to collaborate with NSA after his cooling off period had expired.

Yes this is a better interpretation based on the books.

Mua'Dib puts a thumper in the ground to "call" the biggest sandworm. The other Fremen ride with him after it is called.

RK has given us a signal and we can ride with him if we want.

The saddest part of all this is them not taking the initiative to acquire the old equipment or start up their own shop from scratch on their own terms. The owner didn't sound antagonistic towards them--so there was likely a deal to be had.

Liberals desperately need respected, mature, conservative role models in their lives so they can process situations like this productively rather than ending up with nothing.

I am interested in hearing more about this outlandish theory.

So the misunderstanding is that it's exactly what's been claimed all along? 😂😂😂

Why did he drop Robert Earl's name twice? A bit odd. And who was the other person, Poolay Ladobovic?? I can't seem to find it. Maybe a British anon can help.

What executive order was it? That confiscated from human traffickers?

Yeah I'm aware of that side of the story. Benn programmed my whole life by it.

We have two sides with opposing claims, on the other side of the planet. How do you figure you know which one is true?

So given that Israel takes hostages also, where does that leave us morally?

And how much trust should we put into the narrative of a people who believe it's morally upright to lie to us to take advantage of us? How implausible is it that Oct 7 was just some high production Sandy Hook?

It ain't the precipice if a few flunkeys suffer token consequences and we continue life as-is.

Imagine what it'd take for the most stubborn person in your life to wake up and expect that we'll see it.

The name "Boaz" appears on the left pillar in the High Priestess card and originates from one of the two bronze pillars that stood at the entrance of Solomon's Temple in Jerusalem. In the context of the temple, Boaz means "in him is strength," symbolizing stability, power, and support.

In the tarot, this pillar, along with Jachin, represents the duality and balance inherent in the card's imagery. The High Priestess card uses these pillars to illustrate the balance between different forces—such as masculine and feminine, light and dark, conscious and unconscious. Boaz, specifically, reinforces the themes of inner strength and the grounded, stable aspects of wisdom and intuition that the High Priestess embodies.

Also check out this earlier photo where they all have their ties on:

A person familiar with the former presidents’ appeal said that although the White House was notified ahead of the public announcement, the effort was always intended to be only the ex-presidents without participation from the current commander in chief.

The rollouts of those efforts, however, did include the sitting president. Obama brought George W. Bush and Clinton to the White House Rose Garden to announce the Haiti relief effort, and Bush brought his father and Clinton to the Roosevelt Room to announce the tsunami appeal. The Katrina efforts emerged from the tsunami coordination.

So you have an established history here of disaster followed by Presidentially involved fundraising...

I’m proud to stand with Presidents for #OneAmericaAppeal.”

Emphasis on stand vs sit?

The “Presidents Club” has existed in an uneasy state since Trump was elected. The normal comity between past holders of the job and the current occupant has been disrupted by Trump’s frequent criticism of Obama, his continued attacks on the Clintons and his general disregard for the usual displays of decorum offered in the job. He’s not believed to have spoken to any ex-presidents since taking office in January.

You can also look at Trump's donations and it's a bit patterned:

And I'll say the CNN article has this:

After Hurricane Harvey struck Texas in September, all five started the charity effort and filmed a video urging citizens to help out amid the devastating flooding.

They have since resumed the effort in the aftermath of Hurricanes Irma and Maria.

Which I read as "After 88 struck Texas in September...they have since resumed the effort in the aftermath of HIM."
