The USA election system is a complicated mess. Its probably likely this is true, and also likely many countries, companies, important people, their cousins and friends, all tried their hand at tipping the scales. The problem with stuff like this is that it is literally not provable.

It is impossible to prove the majority of vote counts in the USA are accurate, at the state or federal primaries or elections. So the corollary is that it is impossible to prove any specific plot exists.

All of this could be stopped by implementing the same counting system(s) as exists in most countries elsewhere. Some states do this already, most do not.

I’m not that charitable; I started to see the Texas democrats more as public relations and grifters more than anything else.

Back in the 1990s the Texas democrats were different. They used to have meetings while hog hunting and honestly make the modern GOP look feminine, and rainbow coalition. Not that feminine is bad. I only mentioned it to show it was a different group of people than now.

That party died, its power structures were transferred to the GOP, and everyone with political sense, who had ambition , converted or retired or went elsewhere.

But like a franchise, a new group of people took over the brand, and these people were timid, not wanting to cause actual conflict. And for all intents and purposes, became some kind of captured opposition.

Nobody with real power wanted anything to do with them. And the Texas democratic candidates are a weird collection of helpless idealists, trust fund babies doing it as a hobby, blue blood families keeping appearances, and professional fund raisers who make bank as underdogs.

This is semi regular.

The Texas democrats are living their best lives right now. It’s great for fund raising later. And the other party gets extra press during this mild speed bump.

Win win

I’m pretty sure wearable internet access is a future thing, with some gui only the person can see.

But glasses are not it

It definitely does not help so many people are extorted by different intelligence agencies, of which Israel the first among many.

But, in all honesty, the corrupt arses make it so easy. I wonder if the politicians have professional services they use to prioritize the demanded actions from competing agencies. And what happens when there is a conflict of demands?

Not much has changed in Washington DC the last several generations except the average IQ. It’s dropped recently and I blame lead

Shows the limits of an out of control capitalist county with minimal support to the vast majority of its population.

About 2.6 million years ago, there may have been a supernova (or other event) that caused a burst of comic rays lasting 100k years.

I follow this guy, Paul Fellows, on YouTube, and he has re-awakened an interest in astronomy for me during the last few months. He may not have a very large subscriber count, but is well regarded by several.

For those who do not like watching video, here is a link describing some of the research mentioned ,
