1. Trump attempted a planned insurrection.
2. Okay, loosely planned.
3. Okay, not planned, but he encouraged it.
4. Okay, he didn't encourage it, but he didn't try to stop it.
5. Okay, he did try to stop the violence, but he should have done more, and sooner, during fog of war.

If Congress and state governments had done their jobs, no one would be doubting the outcome of an American election. But they didn't do enough to ensure transparency and credibility of the elections. That guaranteed a Jan6th event sometime in the future. More are coming.

If "not doing enough, and not soon enough" on critical issues is cause for keeping a politician out of office, I'd like to extend that idea to other issues. What are any of the useless assholes in Congress doing about Fentanyl, for example. Is it enough? Fast enough?

I'm fine with a standard of judging our elected leaders on "not doing enough, soon enough." But be aware it is a generic complaint that applies to every issue and it requires us to vote out all incumbents. . . and soon.

Remember when you were sure Epstein died? If I were in charge of creating that illusion, I’d make sure you thought past the sale to HOW he died. Your mind would be trapped in that loop and be blind to the more important question.

I’m not alleging Epstein is alive. I’m alleging that the information available to the public is consistent with him being alive OR dead. Because…

We know elaborate hoaxes are a routine part of the top echelon of politics. But don’t get smug; I could make a list of Republican hoaxes too.

Here’s a concept we need: Minimum High-Quality Life. In other words, the cheapest-but-perfectly-good phone service, healthcare, Wifi, housing, transportation, education, social life, etc. Recognizing this concept would manifest it via market forces. Solves inflation indirectly.

Solves for #confusopoly effects. I use Verizon service but I have no idea how it compares to cheaper alternatives.

If we start designing to the standard of Minimum High-Quality Life, transportation costs approach zero. Everything would be delivered or within ebike or walking distance.

Talking at length to a Democrat yesterday was a wild experience. It’s as if they have a framework for how sentence structure works but it is populated with CNN talking points. Debunking them in the order presented created what?

That’s right: The Democrat Logic Loop. With each slaying of their points they jump to a new point. Once all points have been debunked, they start over as if the discussion never happened. To infinity.

The Democrat in question once told me he couldn’t own a television because it had too much power over him. He couldn’t stop watching it. His talent stack doesn’t allow him to complete the puzzle: The glowing box hypnotized him to believe it’s opinions were his own.

The most important question in the U.S. is how many and what type of vulnerabilities exist in our election systems, especially the digital parts.

Example: If you test ten voting machines that the manufacturer provides, can it be said all voting machines were good on vote day?

Another: Are there checks/tests of data throughout the system that can guarantee all votes got to the endpoint unchanged?

How can that be done if votes are stripped of voter identifiers (intentionally) along the journey?

This is as big an ignore as Hunter's laptop.

Do you remember how Volkswagen coded its emissions systems to test one way but operate another? Got away with it for years. If you can't see the code, all you know is they test correctly. Same with voting machines. You can only know SOME of the same model TEST right.
