Sort of like the homeless cleanup story here, I think they're trying to keep things somewhat orderly before the election.
They're potentially going to be fighting against a few arguments soon: rogue district attorneys promoting lawlessness and loose immigration laws being hazardous. If there aren't any big riots or other alien crime stories, the public may be less agreeable to the arguments.

Gotta cut back on the gibs for a little bit, so that the dependents feel the pinch and the sympathetic see or hear more crying.

That's one problem. They're certainly not the trendiest group right now. I don't know who they think would throw their hat in at this point, either.

But he didn’t miss. At least not the first shot. A glancing blow is still a hit.

A couple of replies suggest this isn't accurate.

This looks like misinformation based on a butchered translation of this headline: https://agora-web.jp/archives/240719075712.html
Apparently the university just erased his biography from their website.
And the NHK (tv station unrelated to the university) removed a program they made about Yasuke.

Lockley's profile is still there on website of Nihon University. His papers for non-Japanese aren't passed peer review.

It's certainly an odd situation. What else can happen to the funds? 100% to the big guy?

Any good resource to read/hear about the guy? I've seen precious little so far.

Suppose this may have something to do with the secret service claiming that Iran was targeting Trump?
These "businesses" (Austin Wealth and Blackrock) and responsible secret service people need to be raided immediately.

If they do decide to terminate Biden with this, do you think they'll also try for other "covid emergency" measures?

Looking into the guy's profile, I kind of think this is just a troll attempt. Aside from a few sporadic, 'normal' replies to political/news tweets (one related to defending 'our greatest ally'), the complaint tweets are the only ones currently on his account. Based on the other tweets in the story and peoples' replies to them, he is evidently a horrid liar. The name is also terribly close to spelling out 'jobless' (perhaps an unfortunate coincidence).

On that note, there is website meant for collecting posts by liberals advocating violence that was posted about here: https://kotakuinaction2.win/p/17teJBVZaQ/do-your-part/c/

Just because I posted this story doesn't mean I agree with it.

I think people need clues in the post title to see that. As it reads right now, it can be interpreted as echoing this declaration for the whole of MAGA followers that "we" should not or will not "cancel" the band. Maybe include the news outlet name to separate yourself from the statement.

Look at what I wrote about Tenacious D first.

You can't exactly rely on people recognizing your username from a separate post to fill in context.

Following that "performance," the singer apparently wrote on her Instagram that she was drunk and would be checking herself into rehab.
Outkick story: https://archive.ph/j6x9Y

I'm not gonna bullshit y'all, I was drunk last night. I'm checking myself into a facility today to get the help I need," she posted.
"That was not me last night. I apologize to MLB, all the fans, and this country I love so much for that rendition. I'll let y'all know how rehab is I hear it's super fun."

WaPo: ‘BlueAnon’ conspiracy theories flood social media after Trump rally shooting (dot org link here)

The shooting threw into overdrive a phenomenon dubbed “BlueAnon” — a play on the right-wing conspiracy theory QAnon — that refers to liberal conspiracy theories online. As more Americans lose trust in mainstream institutions and turn to partisan commentators and influencers for information, experts say they are seeing a big uptick in the manufacture and spread of BlueAnon conspiracy theories, a sign that the communal warping of reality is spreading well beyond the right.

If you can deny that the bullets hit or were terribly close to it, then you can potentially argue about the intent of the shooting. In this case, they're trying to prove a conspiracy theory that this was staged to artificially strengthen support for Trump.

more and more of the old guard are realizing that they can't put the genie back in the bottle.

I still don't see where that realization is taking place. I won't ask for names and quotes because realistically, no one is going to publicly voice that kind of change of heart unless they have little left to lose from peers or investors. Rather, where is the change in funding populist causes or candidates, or those of globalists?

the Musk/Thiel side of the elite have been gaining traction arguing that there has to be some appeasement to populism before ordinary people's resentment boils over.

How do you mean gaining traction? As far as I'm aware, the global elites have maintained their opinions and willingness to force their will onto the increasingly weary public. Or else, when was the condition of current public distrust specified to the global elites?
