A good theory. A sort of variation/extension on the theory that it was revenge for him complaining about having to provide all those bennies to the migrant invasion.

TBH it's a fixable issue if pressure is applied in the right spot, and people sure would notice if they could order late night McDonalds ice cream again...

Agree. A multi-precinct voting center is what comes to mind.

I think it's someone testing a forum sliding/spam technique.

Note that you could make this post anywhere aside from a kid or young adult forum and draw comments...

That one sounded like she had been a constituent during one of Kamala's early jobs.

There's a lot of salt over this bit.

What hits my funny bone most is how naively educated Wagner comes off.

That's top tier date fagging.

Just to clarify. The phrases (called) and (declared) aren't part of the drops.

Would that be Operation Rainbow?

I note that there was another operation with the same name in Syria that seems to have taken naming precedence.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Rainbow_(Syrian_civil_war)


I am finding lots of operations related to tunnels, or that had incidental tunnel activity, but nothing specific to them being expanded. Is that a theory or is it something publicly acknowledged?

Also see the Qasem Soleimani connection. I guess a sort of tunnel godfather.

I was told in training this year that we were to allow voters to take pictures of their ballot.

If you have a printing voting system, rather than a bubble system, it would not be crazy to video the process from selection to printout...

W/respect to the Occupation Chapter of the Law of War, they always frame it in terms of places like Iraq, but it feels to me like they are discussing the US occupation in a "hidden in plain sight" sort of way:

Agree. Feel like the TV direction they are going makes more sense & has the natural alignment with Trump's skills.

It's easy to envision Trump running a faith-based conglomerate that supplants some of Fox/Netflix/Youtube. Biblical cartoons for kids and young adults, movies & television series that inspire us rather than degrade us and make us fearful. News channels that investigate rather than deliver the 3:00 AM narrative. With Trump as the master of ceremonies overseeing it.

Genuine question from someone just beginning to pull at the Israel/Palestine wire tangle.

Do you think Hezbollah & Hamas are genuinely antagonistic entities to Israel's interests? They never make any meaningful gains or put up effective defense. Their activity is uniformly cited by the press to justify military action on Israel's part. Their existence is justification for a permanent flow of arms & intelligence to Israel, to a degree that our representatives have dual citizenship and are far more consistent and ardent in serving Israel than the US.

In what ways are Hezbollah & Hamas problematic for Israel?

Could this actually be an unwinding of Israeli proxy groups, being sold to the public as an Israeli military victory?

Never occurred to me, but makes sense. Is this something you just noticed w/hindsight or do you recall signals from news reporting at the time that it may have been something beyond an impulsive move from Musk?

I was always a little sad that X's emergence undercut Gab & Truth--who had done the right things--but X has really blossomed into the place for real discussion w/the widest demographic reach. Maybe just another of Trump taking one for the team in the short term.

A pragmatic reason to vote early is it helps Republican field ops focus their energy on lazy voters.

Everyone who has already voted requires no outreach.

A less conspiratorial explanation for him being at all the events: he and guys like Bricksuit are embedded SS/private security and it's part of their job to be well known as it facilitates conversation & interaction with the general public who are going to be seated in close proximity to Trump.

Brick Suit's video from that day:

Do you know which states permit paid ballot harvesting? It's fantastically difficult to dig for election information & history right now as all the search engines seem to have hand-crafted, generalized, "you should trust the process rather than ask questions" results...

The funny thing about Elon's petition is that on paper it's things Democrats claim is on their platform--hence it's really not even a partisan petition.
