he forgot to say that he keeps all his upper floor windows locked. You’ve got to cover all your bases.
This isn’t some mass revolt. This is a subset of the oligarchy trying to get Trump out so they can get back to getting maximum wealth from our labor. These two are doing the literal minumum of their job description and our government is in such shambles as to make them look like heroes. Massie and Ro Khanna both have taken dark money.

For all the people that are misreading what I’m saying. This shouldn’t be the new normal. Prosecuting sex trafficking rings, pedophiles and CSAM material was not political 4 years ago. The Biden administration dropped the ball on the Epstein files. Politicians are not your friends, they’re not supposed to be charismatic movie stars. They’re supposed to listen to their constituency, respond to the needs of their community and keep the status quo. These two are the only ones who remembered the first two. This is good. They’re doing their job. I’ll celebrate when something comes from all of this. But otherwise, don’t let this be the new normal. Demand more of your representatives. Otherwise we’ll end up with even worse ones.
This happened in the early 90s and they killed everyone exexpt a victim as an example. Look up the Franklin Scandal. CIA and Mossad, this is as dangerous as it gets.
Don’t let perfect be the enemy of good, at least someone is trying something, let the enemy of the enemy be a friend, even if just for today
Nothing is ever good enough is it
It’s not great, but in much the same way that small increments have made this regime, won’t small increments in the other direction work to bring us to a better place overall?
Small might not be enough summed and they could be controlled opposition. Soo, cautious optimism maybe?
This is exactly where I’m at. I’m withholding praise until they actually do their fucking job.
I mean yea sure they’re not perfect but they’re trying to do something about it. If you’re expecting a perfect unblemished person you come by and fix everything then you’re never gonna get anything done because such a person doesn’t exist in the real world. Sometimes bad people do good things and that’s fine.
These two are doing the literal minumum of their job description and our government is in such shambles as to make them look like heros.
Like people who look back fondly at the Bush administration. They were monsters, and when you let monsters off the hook, the next stage is MAGA 2016, and if you let THEM off the hook, you get MAGA 2024.
We don’t to see what we get if we let them off the hook again.
who is funding them, it sure isnt aipac, they vote in lockstep. Maybe its the oligarchy that arnt part of the trumps inner circles.
Wild to me that these people think this will save them. They need to learn that a text social media post, or a letter, or a signed affidavit (or whatever) is near useless to protect via dissuasion.
Make a goddamn video post. Professionally shot, get your/a psych to be in it with you, get close family and friends in it. Make the videos creative commons so that news agencies have full rights to use them, post to multiple services, and make many versions of the video.
Any group considering your murder knows about blowback and they surely weigh the risks. If you have a crappy 48 word post on Twitter as your only protection they know the death will be easily framed as a suicide by legions of happy-to-oblige media services that’ll repeat the official findings read on video by the coronor/investogator/official, or audio played on podcast, and easily sell the false narrative. But if there are a bunch of high-quality widely available (and free to news networks) counter videos - its going to weigh a much higher risk for them.
I don’t think he thinks this will protect him. Only that if he dies soon it’s because it was not of his own hands.
Tweets and skeets are a megaphone based on spur-of-the-moment thoughts.
Large scale media campaigns have time and manpower to strategize angles, uptake and decide next steps.
The more we learn about bureaucrats with paper crowns, the more they’re revealed as deeply insecure children who, like the rest of us, are only pretending to know how to be grownups and really just doing random shit most of the time.
I don’t think any more thought went into this than that cat with a newspaper deciding to buy a boat.
Yeah, possibly I have read too much into a shower thought that became a Twitter tweet… or whatever the fuck they’re called now.
I was really thinking of not just this guy, but the Boeing whistleblower and Virginia Giuffre, who also seemed to think a small text post or mentions to friends that they’re not suicidal would save them.
Yep. Trump is the only one who gets to declare whether tweets are jokes or foreign policy. Oh look a domestic policy that will get you jailed. Or maybe jk, who knows!

if the USA is to get out of this hell, it will needs all good gestures from anyone. So, don’t reject this one so to not discourage others.
