That's super interesting. Here's the bit where a 'you' slips in, and the section where my ChatGPT radar finally went off. Perhaps even a fusion of other pro se documents and an AI?

Google search trends shows elevated interest in “Trump” and “51st state” almost exactly coincident with that time period. I can’t see it not being Trump to a great extent

Deleted my post because it was wrong. Severino v. Biden established that the President has the authority to fire members of appointed boards under the Take Care Clause. As a result, President Biden dismissed Sean Spicer and Russ Vought (!) from Boards of Visitors

this is the overall vibe -
![A book which reads:
Discussions across the force confirm, as previous
reports have noted, that the requirements passed
down from above far exceed the ability of units and
individuals to accomplish them. A former brigade
commander bluntly described the annual training
requirement situation: “It’s more than you can do in
one year.”10 Another officer gave more detail: “The
amount of requirements, if you laid [them] down on
a calendar—all the external stuff you have to do—and
then how much time you have to complete [them]—
it’s physically impossible!” Another officer added his
perspective:
It’s a systemic problem throughout the entire Army . . .
We can probably do two or three things in a day, but if
you give us 20, we’re gonna half-ass 15 and hope you
ignore the other five.
Given that it is impossible to comply with every re-
quirement, how do units and individuals reconcile the
impossible task of accomplishing all directed training
with a bureaucracy that demands confirmation that
every requirement was accomplished? Do they admit
noncompliance? Do they submit false reports?](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:4m6maezsra7v5noir6e5nibp/bafkreiagjc7pbsm3sprbjbvqgiv3suwosdqukgst4beizwk5zi6l3oaq2e@jpeg)

Lots of people who vote Republican know that their beliefs aren't rooted in facts. We need to be asking why they want to identify as right-wing so much that they're willing to ignore the facts, and what we on the left can do to change that feeling

The explanation of the diversion to Aktau ("for fog") for Azerbaijan 28243 makes no sense - the video shows the plane landing fast and with its right wing dropped; the FR24 track shows really poor speed and altitude control. You can see speed increasing during a series of dives - phugoid motion

This is under only weak assumptions about what the early votes (which are usually counted after the E-day votes) will do
