Trump is running candidates against any incumbent who doesn't vote for redistricting to gerrymander the map.
I'm willing to bet he starts "joking" about how Roosevelt got more than two terms and the amendment to limit terms is a deep state crime.
The prosaic explanation is the more likely one, meaning the events are unrelated.
If gas prices double from here it will be less stupid distraction and more overt authoritarianism... the ICE question has not been settled. ICE is still violating your neighbors and making a mockery of what is supposed to be a society of free people. They merely thought the overt city takeovers and shooting Americans in the head had become a bad look that wasn't worth it politically. The persistence of this calculus is not inevitable.
More than anything, that's the one thing that they want to avoid. That's something that's radicalized at least one person into doing something rash and could radicalize more.
The reality is that there's no shortage of dirt in them (that likely doesn't pile up to guilt beyond a reasonable doubt), but his base doesn't care, and will never care.
1) Maxwell was under prosecution at the time, so some of it was related to that.
2) The kind of people being mentioned as potential indictees are the kind who can do something about it.
There was no reason for why the administration had to wait for the files to be unsealed to go after anyone it wanted to. Unsealing them only makes the records available to the public at large, not the rest of the DOJ.
not so fast. There is new info coming out about Kerry being implicated.
Would you like to know more? The timing is viewed more naturally I think in a trajectory from the 2017 NYT article, through the series of congressional hearings, whistleblowers and attempted UAPDA legislation, to recent statements by Obama and Trump re "classified info", that seemed to lead directly to here. Through all this, the chorus of increasing public interest and demands.
More starkly - it's odd to see this issue in anyway partisanly or linked to a particular administration, or even news cycle. It's a persistent topic of human interest, across cultures and decades. The Trump intersection I think can be explained because he's the most "renegade" (yes, a pun), least controlled and most effective. These latter claims themselves are deeply controversial for some, and may contribute to making it hard for such folks to see any such prosaic explanations of the timing and reach for something a little more out there.
Instead, I just see elaborate narratives about political motivations and garbage evidence like that laughably low-effort fake video presented in Congress by Representatives.
Sorry, I encounter someone who believes exactly what you wrote at least once a week.
It is unfortunate how many have succumbed to Trump derangement syndrome and are rendered unable to discuss this topic critically, moving to complete dismissal because of the controversy surrounding the messenger.
The UAP disclosure movement has been decades in the making. Trump was simply the one willing to push it, exactly because of his counterculture, renegade nature as you put it.
Are we alone? Is there other intelligent life in the universe? What's the meaning of life? They've robbed themselves of the ability to engage with these questions, and it's a shame.
