DJT1 and DJT2 are two different people.
When Melania’s underwear turned up missing that was one thing. Icky but he could get his head around it.
But Barrons?
Their own stupidity. You know that “share to anyone with the link” feature? Someone found that and shared it with Data and she used AI to process it.
Competence should be nonpartisan. Unfortunately…
King County's homelessness agency had over $1 billion in grants available over six years.
They left $260 million of it unspent.
But they budgeted their overhead like they'd spent every dime. So they still ran a $16.7 million deficit, and borrowed from the county to cover it.
Their records were such a mess, auditors had to rebuild six years of books from individual checks and invoices.
Homelessness doubled on their watch. Councilmember Rod Dembowski says people died because that money never hit the street.
A shelter for older women in Kenmore got told "we don't have the money." They had a quarter billion dollars.
This isn't compassion. It's malpractice. Shut it down.
They’re just lazy. I had to teach grok truth could be both lawyer and directional and that consensus was a trap. If WaPo/CNN/NYT all say the same thing that’s only one vote not 3.
New scorecards live, and there's organization by drop now too, if you go in the front door you can see them broken out.

🚨🚨THE DEMOCRACY FILES / ILLEGITIMACY PLAYBOOK, PART 10: THE ROLE OF FOREIGN STATES🚨
(First post deleted for typo)
How is an old government declared illegitimate and a new government declared the true successor?
Months before the actual transition, the following are achieved in advance:
• Civil society and activists get prepared for big uprisings.
• Media narratives are pre-seeded.
• Foreign officials provide cover.
The last point is what this drop is all about. You saw it last night - as soon as Lula "won" the election, EU officials and Alex Soros immediately swept in with their congratulations. That is a deliberate strategy to grant Lula legitimacy, not an organic congratulations.
The idea is to saturate the people with the idea that "this is the legitimate government, and you will accept it."
In these files, we see the various NGOs strategize on how to reach out to governments in advance and prepare them for what is coming. We also revisit how USAID OTI, the regime change arm of USAID, allegedly re-organized themselves inside the country.
We record one meeting taking place between Horizons Project and Catalonia officials. That we were able to document a meeting at all is unusual, because I'm told that these meetings are generally arranged at the highest levels and kept off the record (think Jake Sullivan, Norm Eisen level).
Usual way is you hand count, then feed them to the machine, and they both have to match. There's other ways too, like you can have designated voters that have to vote a certain way, and you can adjust the counts. The existing machines have images that get archived, so you can have one system audit the other system. System A says "Bush", System B (perhaps run by the feds) says "Gore" you have a problem... – at Oregon, USA
Speaking of Brazil, before you read any legitimacy narratives, go see what the censored Brazilian voices say, 𝕏 will translate them for you. xitter.cf/GrumpyTechBro/status/2… – at Oregon, USA
Speaking of bad opsec, @elonmusk is sneaky.
Brazil wanted 𝕏 to censor accounts criticizing the government.
"Emperor Lula has no clothes" kind of stuff.
In 2024 they shut 𝕏 off for over a month to make the point.
𝕏 said fine.
But you have to give us the list.
Then 𝕏 made the algorithm open source.
That's how I found it.
So now there's a list.
Of everyone the government doesn't want you to read.
I sorted it so you can.

Censorship bugs me.
Sometimes lawfare works for the good guys.
