I think about this quote from Michele Obama, maybe once every week?
Pops into my head, you know why.

"‘I Have Been at Every Powerful Table You Can Think of… They Are Not That Smart’"

From:

Michelle Obama Opens Up About 'Imposter Syndrome'

"It doesn't go away, that feeling that you shouldn't take me that seriously. What do I know?" Michelle Obama said.

There's a whole freakin' chapter in the 10th history of Middle Earth books on why Elves are different than Humans. There's a even an acronym by fangirls for that chapter. He could just read. Or google. Or realize he's talking about fiction...

Sally Jenkins is pulling a rage-bait grift. She told you it was a rage-bait grift. And yet, so many people quote-reposted this, sharing it, and giving her exactly what she wanted. 🫣

I know that when I like a piece of journalism, I have to preemptively yell at the readers so they appreciate how good it is.

NZ started up again a few or so ago, but it's only for gift based under $120 I think. So I assume Aus would be as well.

Tron was in the Kingdom Hearts 2 game when there were far more, what I assumed, popular IP Disney had. 5 years before the second movie. Maybe it was overseas popular, or at least Japan when that game came out. I think they shoehorned it also into 3...

The right response is “maybe if you don’t know what it is we do here you shouldn’t be in charge.”

During a military-style raid on a building in Chicago’s South Shore, one resident heard a knock on his door.   It wasn’t the feds — it was a mom and her 7-year-old daughter, pleading for help.

He let them hide in his unit for the next 3 days.

During the Sept. 30 raid one tenant protected a terrified girl and her mom. Remnants at the complex, including a detailed map of all the units, offer clues to what authorities may have known before th...

I mean the list is probably far worse than we we think - but I think it's documents that lay out the Trump wasn't just on the list but trafficking the raped children with and in a competing 'business' against Epstein.
The general public doesn't seem to understand the modeling/spas were/are used.

Nothing, it went to a MAGA hedge fund friends who 'lost' money in Argentina.

I mean, if they're protecting pedophiles, they're also likely pedophiles.

And Trump trafficked those children in addition to raping them. Most people think he's on the list, they just forget he was trafficking them with/competitively with Epstein.

Curious what people were alerted ahead of time that Trump would crash the market and so made massive money on shorting various equities...

It is real clear that this is happening every single time Trump hits the market with his dumb little sledgehammer.

If Dems using it scares them, then Dems need to go on TV and say anything/everything GOP is doing, they'll do the same if not worse when back in power.

Yup. I think the way this works out is, Trump issues an executive order banning vote-by-mail. WA & OR (and other blue states) can't or won't comply. House & Senate Republicans refuse to seat these delegations. SCOTUS reiterates precedent that it doesn't intervene in House & Senate rules. Game over.

Their conversations with the Trump Administration seem to have been quite explicit on the plan. Pass a federal voter ID law that vote by mail states like OR and WA can't possibly comply with before 2026. Then have the GOP controlled Senate and House simply refuse to seat the people who won.

Why nothing in the article about for how much $ and why being sold?

Dominion won $800million in it's lawsuit, why would it be sold?

Liberty Vote is owned by a former Republican election official.

(kind of a big point that should be in the headline fwiw)

So everything else obvious about her aside - you're telling me she has an insane ego but is still not going to be on camera? Ya, that's not going to help.

That is odd. Maybe nobody tried united them? IDK, maybe it gives us a starting point now.
