No, it was a great reply and something people should see - I was just collecting up your comments into a broader historical reality so you knew I understood.

The Ukrainian Depopulation and Deindustrialization Plan for the Russian Federation is exceeding quota requirements and currently running ahead of schedule.

(I have on occasion referred to the Blitz as the Luftwaffe Redevelopment Plan for South London.)

The whole EMO (Electro-Magnetic-Operations) concept is a skill that has to be acquired and correctly implemented. This demands training and discipline on the part of the operators and proper planning and integration on the part of staffs and HQ's. In other words, a professional approach.

Yes... but this points to the "achilles heel" of all electronic systems: the moment you start emitting, you are discoverable and you therefore make yourself a target. This goes for all Electro-Magnetic systems (of which RF is part). It's biggest strength is also its weakness.

There are no perfect weapons. Everything has a weakness and therefore a means of countering. Otherwise, war would have ended thousands of years ago.

It simply should not be possible for the president to repeatedly claim that a major city is burning without a wall of live standups happening in that city clearly demonstrating that it is not

A throughline in every federal worker I've talked to this year is how they feel like a total mark for their service and work over the years up to this point, and the ones that don't are retiring soon

I am at the phase of putting post-it notes on my phone to remember things to write. 🤣🤣 It's quicker to scribble and stick than fiddle with another app to type into, don't even try to digisplain anything, it's my process and I like it.

I do think it would be amazing if hundreds of protesters just showed up dressed like ICE. They’d be absolutely baffled, they’d have no way to tell who’s who. They’re all dressed in off-the-rack Cabelas clothes since they don’t seem to have a standard uniform so it’s easy.

I could almost understand vouchsafing the moral atrocity that Trump is foisting on us if they were getting something for it, but all he's doing is destroying the beating heart of US prosperity. It makes no goddamn sense.

Zero sense. I only became a bus person in London. But only because I lived in a part of South London ignored by the tube. Now I take the bus in NY all the time. For some things, they are easier and better (the AC game is toight!). And, for getting cross-town, they are the game.

Kyle Cheney is a congenital liar and a propagandist and Anna is a nobody. Multiple attorneys who have examined this case describe it as air tight. By the way, Cheney is also a leaping bounding, screaming asshole.
