It's simpler than that.

They want power, and they don't want others to have that power.

The object of power is power.

Now do you begin to understand me?"

They haven't yet received a promise for the kickback they requested.

> You mean, why would she infiltrate an organization to help her own people and nation?

No, I mean something more specific.

Why would she put all the work into infiltrating at that level, only to "leak it online"

You'd expect them to be more careful with the information so that they don't realize it was ever compromised

First of all.. ๐Ÿคก ?

Second of all, ..why would she leak it online? If she is working for Iran, she'd do it covertly.

Feels like they are scrambling and pointing fingers to find a scapegoat?

"History will be written by those who show up."


Man, that's a whole philosophy in a short sentence.

> how is he so photogenic?

I stumbled on a reddit threat from before he was president.

It was full of people sharing anecdotes about what a nice guy he was to them when they met him in real life.

I think the key to the McDonald's thing, is that he didn't put on a fake smile and hold a baby. He just showed up to work, and it came off as authentic.

The millennials are the boomers kids through and through. Anyone who thinks they'll be substantially different in charge hasn't been paying attention (other than they're significantly less talented)

When an endorsement isn't an endorsement.

What is very interesting, is how it already serves as a time capsule to what "more normal" looked like for a society.

Wild to see how much things have already shifted since that was made..

I've written before on here about the ghost world I see: Go outside, go to the park every day during the Summer and in all the days you can in Spring and Fall, sometimes 2-3 times per day. You have the park to yourself. You have the streets to yourself. There aren't as many kids as there used to be, but there are still a lot of kids in a big city, but it's as if they don't exist at all.

History will be written by those who show up. The people who do have kids, do raise them, and those present kids who do show up themselves. There won't be many.
