She is the smart one and controls JD.
She could shut this down but is willing for Vance to do what it takes to put her in power.

Wonderful. The spice mix seems Indian with the cardamon, but the look is more Thai.

I adore anything with cardamon and think it is totally under used.

I think he expected Antifa to show resulting in fighting so he could declare an emergency.
Without that, they stormed the building and stopped the count that way. He expected the attack to prevent the vote for that day and texted the mob that he loved them and go in peace

If you are not familiar with the Chris Miller Memo, Google: Chris Miller, National Guard deployment, Jan 4, 2021.

Miller was the Acting Sec of Def. and sent out the memo to declare that only he had the authority to deploy troops. Troops were ready and waiting for his order.

This may be military hand signaling, but the choice of a Nazi-ish salute as the first motion on the clip is not by accident. Anybody would see that.
While they would deny it, there is a pattern of white supremist posts that cannot be ignored.

My take away was a Musk statement about his invasion of the gov data bases. You just do it on the weekend.

A real life scenario on assembling the team and getting a decision was Jan 6.

A version of the Right Wing Authoritarian scale has been used since the 50s with a major update in the 80s.
Rating starred items high indicates leaning authoritarian.
One version of this was used in multiple countries with similar results.

Through history and in every country, there is a certain 30+%. It is not accidental that the die-hard Nazis were about the same percentage as die-hard MAGA.

For children raised in authoritarian churches, about 1/3 are devout as adults.

People are irrational and want to be deluded.

Trump is very good at taking advantage of that.

UHC is the worst for this. Purposely waste the physicians/offices time to reduce pre-approval requests and appeals.

The people who need threats of hell to keep them from β€œsin” scare me. Churches that promote the belief in hell, but then say you just have to β€œrepent” and all is forgiven train the mindset you are concerned about.

In college, Psych 101 taught me that not everyone reaches self actualization.

I will add, what I hope everyone adds, that Trump has lowered the percentage of profits that go to American citizens for our resources. He has also lowered regulation costs put in place to protect us from massive environmental cleanups.

Trump is a last person in the room guy. At that time Musk was sticking to him like glue to control input. Greenland was on Musk's wishlist. Minerals and Network State location for Musk’s city Called Terminus. There is an article in TechCrunch in Nov about it. Musk is out, we will see.

You’re assuming that there is not additional corruption that we cannot see. Yes, public corruption is still corruption, but we should assume what we cannot see is worse.

It will be built.
The money is pay to play and will pour in.
Note that they have not announced whom it honors.
Then the bootlickers will insist (he will not want to) it is named the Trump Ballroom.
The extra destruction is punishment for the No Kings march.

My take is never vote for someone that thinks the end of the world is a good thing.

You are absolutely right of course, but this is mostly a propaganda war. So both sides focus on the hypocrisy. In this case MAGA believe they are pro-Christianity and pro-Constitution. There is no trust that other the individuals you point out matter at all. In the battle for attention who matters?

There is a fee for extract of national resources.
Trump has cut the fee.
So we are removing public input and environmental regulations and doing sale prices. It is how Russia works.

I think this is outcome, not the motivation. The motivation is to buy any asset where profit can be maximized to suck up as much as possible. The next 3 years are all about privatization.
The poor and middle class will just be the ones that are sucked dry.

If there is a hurricane, leave early.
If there are wild fires, leave early.
Always assume if you wait, the roads will be packed.
If your situation is such that you think there is high risk, get out.
It usually takes more courage to act instead of waiting to see what others do.

This was a planned move with Snyder’s family. Be happy for him. He is good guy.

The lesson of worst case scenarios is do not wait. If he could see the writing on the wall for university jobs, good for him. Sounds like this is more a family thing, nothing wrong with reading the tea leaves.
