@ImBreckWorsham he said people posting online, e.g. the people from the trans discord. doesn't necessarily mean people on the inside
I think it probably was an inside job but important to get the details right!
This is the dumb trick the Dem Party has been using on their followers for years now.
When something they pretend to oppose "must pass" (like the NDAA), they ensure there are just enough Dem votes for it to pass, even if it's just by one vote.
Then they tell all other Dems: feel free to vote NO so our followers think we really oppose it, and we almost sunk it!
If these 6 hadn't voted YES, Jeffries would have easily had 6 other House Dems to vote YES.

Here are the 7 Republican NO votes to final passage of the NDAA.
Yesterday only Thomas Massie voted NO to the rule vote to move the NDAA to a final passage vote today.

@walterkirn when my grandmother died, I was away at camp and not in frequent contact with my family. she'd been sick many months
I remember sitting in my room and all of the sudden I just knew that she'd died. later that night or maybe the next day my mom called me to let me know
Despite being the war criminal monster butcher of Libya, Syria and Yemen, and the murderer of American citizens, sometimes it’s easy to forget what a horrible person Barak Obama is.
@HealthRanger they're gonna print as much money as they have to to avoid this though and keep markets going up in nominal terms even if the currency is totally devalued
@HFI_Research question - can they achieve this effect by weakening RoW's currency vs $? make gasoline more expensive for them, but same or lower price for us?
JPY, silver, gold, oil all down in dollar terms makes me wonder if that's what they're doing
@rickjeff78 they are careful w/ their escalation. I think they want to lull him into a very bad position (no SPR + inventories, strait under Iran control) where he won't be able to say no to anything
if they are too aggressive too soon it might escalate in ways that are suboptimal for them
