Main Paineframe posted:That doesn't seem to be what the source is saying at all. Rather, they're saying that the FBI went out of their way to minimize the media profile of the raid, in hopes that it would be more likely to be seen as non-political, but this backfired by making it easier for the GOP to set the narrative. I don’t believe that for a second. There is absolutely no way the FBI didn’t expect this to receive exactly the response it got. It was a literal historical event involving an inflammatory GOP hero. Any work they did to minimize the media profile would have been to assure themselves they weren’t making a spectacle out of it, not the GOP.

Angry_Ed posted:The one constant about Republicans and their allies: they don't want to do work. They would rather hand it off to someone else (projection again of course) and then whinge when they don't get the results they imagined Bad leaders imagine that leadership is a hands-off process where you hire someone to do a thing and report back without any engagement on your part. It's the same for politics as it is in the military, the corporate environment, etc. This is normally something that requires a lot of training to address so I'm not exactly shocked that those in elected positions are prone to taking the laissez-faire approach.

Class3KillStorm posted:It was all for a line of Trump-branded NFTs, and they don't even have the technical wherewithal to actually set up their own blockchain list or whatever to try and fake like there's a premium individuality to these things. So they just call them "digital trading cards," because that sounds like a thing from the 1950s that olds would remember, threw a $100 price point on his lovely photoshop JPEGs and called it a day. Oh my god

Social media accounts are generally off limits for clearance investigations so they won't Google you. They focus on interviews with friends, families, coworkers, landlords, etc. to identify any potential inconsistencies or red flags in the data you give them in the SF-86. The other part is a credit check and whatever else they have to do to check on things like gambling debts. If you have anything else of relevance you're supposed to bring it up ahead of time, not let them find out about it later.

Well Secret clearances are fairly routine and not remotely related to how Secret Service personnel are vetted.

SamDabbers posted:Are you assuming it's going to hold together after indictment and trial too? I think we're likely to see more violence, but I'm usually pessimistic and hope to be pleasantly surprised. You’re going to have to suggest a better cause than “more violence” if you’re going to talk about America collapsing.

celadon posted:How can you resign if you're not of sound mind? Like if you are senile are you capable of retiring legally? Presumably a Senator in a coma wouldn't be capable of retiring, so whats the degree of incapacitation that can be tolerated while still being able to resign? She'd be crazy to continue in the senate, but all she has to do is ask to resign. This is something a rational person would do, which would make her qualified and responsible to serve in the senate

We have firmly established that the punishment for repeatedly harassing and endangering court staff and court staffs' family members is a minor fine and the judge giving a smirk for the photographer to publish in the news. So yeah, why not?

Being held in contempt for actively mocking, creating conspiracies around, and encouraging death threats towards court staff doesn’t seem like something that would lead to an overturn on appeal for anyone, much less a “good way” to do that
