When it comes to the premise that leftist activists are dumping algae into the reflection pool, I could see it going either way. I don't put it past Trump to make that claim, but I also don't put it past leftist groups doing this sort of thing since they will do anything to go against Trump because they cannot accept him getting any sort of win.

Given the past case of the suspicious wildfires years ago, I am leaning towards the latter possibility.

I think the best analogy for the effects of a collapse of the US is the passing of a kidney stone. It came about as a consequence of poor choices, and getting through it will be a painful process that will likely cause some damage. But getting through that pain will be necessary for a better outcome.

I should say that a kidney stone is considered a best case scenario. We may end up with a malignant tumor scenario instead.

I know it is California, but can this be any more telegraphed that the vote count will be fixed if the people "vote the wrong way?"

I will not be holding my breath either way.

With Thomas Massie losing his primary, it reminds me of how the Republican party has been failing in so many regards to enact any actual conservative policies. Every "victory" they achieve always seems to either benefit Israel directly or indirectly.

"Trump expanded the military, that's a conservative victory!" But to what end does that help in accomplishing something tangental to right wing advancement here at home? The answer is it doesn't, because it just benefits Israel once more.
