The point of political parties hasn't been to win for well over a century. Modern political parties exist only to prevent proletarian revolution.

Pure copium. On a human level it will just reinforce his worldview, give him more confidence in his rhetorical strategies, and increase the sycophantic validation he receives from everyone, blinding him to and isolating him from critique further than he already is.

They might do it just so she doesn't run again and to punish her for being a minority woman.

As I understand intelligence, Secret Service, and VIPs, the only way they get assassinated is when their inner circle lets it happen. There is no way they left that building unpatroled. I heard early reports that the Secret Service had eyes on the shooter but didn't neutralize with prejudice. We have a dozen stories, many confirmed, of federal LEOs radicalizing individuals, getting them arms, and convincing them to commit violent crimes.

AFAICT, the debate over the little details is the distraction from how the security system functions. There's no question that there was deliberate knowing involvement by some level of federal law enforcement with the shooter.

Ann Coulter still won't vote for you, Vivek. Stop being so publicly thirsty

I agree we should have had a mega thread on the shooting

I think it's more likely he was groomed by deep state actors to do this.

Every single one of them will lose to Trump. The DNC has sstematically failed

So either campaign for Biden and spend the next 4 years organizing or watch as voting for Biden brings Trump to office in 2028

Yes, they broke the rules the West invented and the West complains about. Now the West is breaking the rules, undermining their entire position that all nations must follow the rules or be punished.

The UK arresting an average of 9 people a day. Meanwhile, arrests in Russia are below 500 each year, sometimes far below.

Using the web client in Firefox, I cannot seem to expand comments below a certain level. Clicking "3 more comments ->" just spins. Any ideas?

This guy is the researcher cited: https://www.sheffield.ac.uk/seas/people/academic-staff/david-tobin

At first glance, he seems somewhat legit, but I've never heard of him before. What do we know about this guy, his research, and what's the best way to understand these claims?

This is truly a wild analysis. It's entirely plausible that Black rock owns the longs and Citadel owns the shorts and that they collaborate. But just the circular ownership leading to total dominance of the market by a few hundred people is enough to make this worth reading.

This feels like an op to me. The timing is uncanny. If this story develops, I predict some escalation of current conflicts with some advanced weaponry (chemical, biological, nuclear, energy, space-based, etc) and the alien story to be used as cover.

Alternatively, it's a continuation of reactionary mobilization propaganda. Thought?

Anyone got any more insight into this? Hypersonics are supposed to be a significant advantage for both Russia and China. If the West has a counter for these, that seems real bad.
