My prediction: A vary narrow investigation on whether T had sex w/children while at any of E's properties. Attempts to expand into T's involvement with trafficking, money, influence peddling or what happened on Trump properties will be blocked because it is a witch hunt.
Press will focus on others.

Expanding the investigation in these areas will get shut down as being a "witch hunt" and the press will be happy enough to focus on non-Trump pedophiles listed in E's documents.

After watching the Mueller/J6 investigations, I'm not optimistic that we'll get the full story/justice. The investigation will be narrowly focused on whether T has sex w/ children at E's estate/island. It won't be about trafficking, money, influence or what happened on T's properties.

This x100.
I'm all in on lifting the caps. I'm also ok with a fraction of capital gains taxes going to social security (since the rich trade payroll for capital gains).

So what is the remedy here?

This executive order is a precursor to a major crackdown on the regime’s opposition. They’re absolutely using the Kirk assassination as their Reichstag fire moment.

there is a rock-paper-scisors thing that happens between facts fear and funny. fear beats facts. and funny beats fear.

so let's increase the mocking so that funny destroys the fear mongering.

I'm disappointed that the spell is limited to humanoids. This means that my bard can't marry her dragon boyfriend.

There is very little marginal happiness once you increase income above a certain level. This is one of the reasons I support high tax rates (income, property, capital gains, & inheritance) for the rich.

When you don't include "did not vote" in the graphs, you can't tell whether people are switching from blue to red vs people switching from blue to "did not vote".

These are different stories and should lead to different recommendations about what to do about it.

We need to setup a countdown clock and then have every politician and pundant refer to the countdown clock.

I'm really enjoying these 5 room learn to play.
It is a nice format for learning the key features of a game.

He's drawing out the drama like some stupid reality show, except instead of "will he/won't he hand out a rose", it is "will he/won't he drop a bomb".

The "3.5% rule" refers to the idea that protests involving at least 3.5% of a population have consistently led to successful regime change.

What an embarrassing deployment, being sent to LA to watch peaceful protestors eat tacos.

There is a rock paper scissors going on with media:
Fear beats facts.
Funny beats fears.
Facts beats funny.

Except the protestors can exploit this if they can figure out how to be dramatic and peaceful.
Have the protestors show up:
Dance
Offer them tacos.
Have vets take the front lines and mock the NG/Marines on what a bullshit deployment this is.
Burn Nazi/Confederate flags.

All it takes is for one person to start and then for someone else to follow. Learn the lesson of Leadership From A Dancing Guy.

I like Malcom Nance's framing this as an embarrassing bullshit deployment.
