Yeah but Reality Winner printed her poo poo from work, right? Like, at the actual FBI, where they could track her down in a couple seconds?

IIRC, the FBI had a short list of people who both viewed and printed the document. Without the Intercept handing over the original, complete with fingerprinting, Reality would probably still have her clearance revoked but be free.

Also, something that has really gone unnoticed in this is that the Intercept, in addition to handing over a high-quality copy of the original document unasked, contacted an individual with a current security clearance who would be in a position to validate the material. The reporter then told the contact that the document was mailed in and even gave the postmark information and followed that up by saying it was believe the leaker lived in city corresponding to the postmark.

Even without the document fingerprint, the FBI/NSA had enough information to narrow down the suspect pool to a single person. They were able to do this because the Intercept, either out of malice or error, helped.

whats surprising to me is that ossoff actually apparently showed signs of having turnout trouble. After the vote count i just assumed the dems maxed out the total number of votes they had and it fell short.

a lot of people in the 6th got so harassed by calls and polls and non stop ads that they got election fatigue

almost everyone here just wanted it to be over, rather than wanting to choose someone

had a half dozen separate canvassers come to my house, and dozens of cold calls. that's just the amount while i was actually there to open the door too

Casus belli literally is just "case for war". you need a reason to declare war on someone. In CK2, it means you have a "claim" on their land, so your "casus belli" is that the land should be yours, by right.

EDI:T There are other casus belli too, like them being heretics, excommunicated, etc.

Demense is just the number of provinces you control directly, rather than controlled by vassals or other characters.

youve got a point in that being a heretic/heathen gives you casus belli on everyone else all the time so its way more fun

satanists are a secret cult so that doesn't really fall under that mechanic - you still have a "public" faith

they nerfed the strategy of being a heretic though, because now if you declare a holy war on a catholic for example, catholic neighbors will help them defensively in the war
