I’m strictly city boy. Does that actually happen lol?
(I know some animals do strange stuff when looking at themselves in a mirror.)
It does. I have a face level (to turkeys) window in my basement that they can see their reflection in and try to beat it up. 
I wondered why the pane had been replaced with plexiglass, a mystery that lasted less than a day.
There’s another one further up the hill that zaps itself on the electric fence around the farms field every day like clockwork.
They aren’t the smartest creatures.

So Turkeys don’t pass the mirror test then?
I’ve been around quails, they’re also stupid as hell. Pigs for example are very smart, confirmed by studies and my own experiences, but quails are dum dums.

Nah. Not by a long shot. A friend once tried to convince me that they’re really crafty and hard to hunt. I told him about the one that was bird- humping my neighbors truck. Wings flapping, humping away at the shiny bumper.
We agreed to disagree.

Taibbi and Musk point out a major flaw in using AI to research facts about the government: It thinks the news is real.
I’ve encountered this on a local level regularly. Grok doesn’t watch school board meetings or city council meetings, and it won’t know every fact that is communicated to the public unless a newspaper picks it up or something like that.
I feel like a new slur is needed for people who use AI to write for them and think for them.
Was “The Two Towers” the best Lord of Rings movie and book?
Amen!
Only releasing the files doesn’t mean jack. Until people are prosecuted and jailed this remains a skid-mark in the nation’s drawers.

If the CIA and FBI were actually on our side, they’d have labelled these individuals as “compromised/enemies of the state” and they’d have been rounded up and wood chippered already.
But the 3 letter mafia views them as assets… that they specifically compromised… so they wont be found.
I do believe mob justice is required in this ordeal.
Give us the list. Verify the names and of the guilty and remove all protective detail.
We’ll see that they are dealt with appropriately.

This might not be the correct thread to post this, but I just finished this book and would highly recommend it.
And here we are, gearing up to start pardoning the prosecuted and jailed instead. Obviously, I expect that anyone previously convicted and sentenced to 20 years in prison will “testify openly and honestly” as why would they not (lol), but certainly it does not seem to suggest that we are going in the direction of wood-chipping the child molesters.

Yes. Best opening scene in cinema history, IMO. I enjoyed The Return of the King as a book more, but I wouldn’t call it better-written. It went on forever, which is part of what I liked about it. I didn’t want the story to end. The movie faced a similar conundrum, which is why I think it was wise to cut out The Scouring of The Shire from the film, even though it was a great ending in the book.
I don’t think they have been on our side for a long time, with this administration being the first in history to actually take concrete steps at addressing that.
The big reveal in the JFK file declassification wasn’t anything to do with solving that particular mystery. It was all of the CIA regime change operations overseas that were the real news, along with the agency’s tensions with JFK.
Brazil, Congo, Dominican Republic, Hati, Guyana, Cuba, and other operations were revealed. Some astute observers have suggested that the purpose of the declassification was to establish the nefarious nature of these agencies to prepare the American public for the realization that the regime change playbook was turned inward onto ourselves.
I mean, we all just lived through it. Media speaking in unison, always rowing in the same direction of socialist revolutionaries who tried to obscure how socialist their policies really were. New instruments of division introduced into society via transgenderism and DEI, all backed by state-run media. Industrial scale censorship via government proxies to circumvent the first amendment, along with manufactured evidence used in a comprehensive smear campaign to undermine a sitting president.
If the twitter files (which directly implicated my Senator King in giving twitter specific individuals to ban/throttle) wasn’t enough evidence, you can always look up the actual terms of service for social media companies during COVID, where questioning the origins would get you banned on platforms like facebook, as would questioning the 2020 election, along with spreading other “misinformation” and “disinformation”.
If we agree that there are bad actors within the 3 letter agencies, what would getting rid of them look like to you?
I’m not an expert on how to do something like that, but I can discern what appears to be a methodical approach by the Trump Administration. If Epstein’s list is as notorious as people imagine it may be, it could completely upend the entire planet’s understanding of what our government is and how it actually operates.
Another recently declassified document reveals that Epstein was an FBI informant no later than 2008.

The plot thickens!
Total dismantling of the agency coordinated in unison with capturing all known bad actors.
Start fresh.

So, martial law and military tribunals?
How do you think that would go over with the public?
Do you think AIPAC is like a kick back scheme, where US Congress people recieve a little piece of the aid we send to Isreal?
Or do you think it’s more nefarious?
Or is the whole Not Knowing For Sure enough to make you suspicious?
Get me up to speed! I’m kinda new to not trusting anyone at any level or capacity of government.

And what about G. Maxwell?
Is it naive to think the DOJ moved her, with no special agenda, simply so she would voluntarily testify before Congress?
Like everyone who has been paying attention believes some powerful person or group is doing her favors, specifically so she won’t rat them out?
IMO, sadly, the greatest leverage to attaining the American Dream is via a career in politics.
