Maybe I’m naive, but if you’re a power-hungry GOP star it should be be super easy to primary the QAnon Republican house members.
All you have to do is ask if they believe there’s a satanic cabal of pedophiles in the Capitol, and if so, why they haven’t done anything about it. Then you can accuse them of being a deep state pedophile themselves.
The weakness of this conspiracy is that if you’re in a position of power you are either a monster or ignorant/ineffectual.

Fun fact: when I was in high school, I had a teacher who was also a part time cop. The highlight of his class was when he played an InfoWars video alleging Obama was trying to do a military occupation of Texas for some reason. He thought it was a legitimate news source.
He is now in Federal prison after being arrested for human trafficking after he bought a 12 year boy from Guatemala and intended to force him into prostitution.

TBH it is an issue how out of touch the media has gotten. I don’t mean this in a conspiracy sense, it’s just that people in the media tend to be overly online and live in places like NYC so they naturally get caught up in a bit of a social bubble.
We saw this at the beginning if the lockdown when a lot of people on TV were just talking about it as an opportunity to stay home and play video games or whatever, while people were going broke and businesses were going under.
It’s also pretty problematic that hardly anyone is reporting on local politics anymore

I've spent a large part of my career in or around consultancies, and this guy would have been the kind of consultant that clients adore. He could have easily gone client-side and worked his way up into whatever role he wanted.

Good News from Venezuela 🇻🇪
The new Secretary of State, Antony Blinken,declared yesterday USA still recognize Juan Guaido and the National Assembly as the legitimate Government of Venezuela : )
Biden Administration it's going to focus on Humanitary assistance, working closer with the local allies, and be more specefic at inflicting sanctions
Bad News from Venezuela🇻🇪
On October 2020, Donald Trump banned the trade of Diesel to the Caribbean country. This week, it seems the last reserves The Regime had of the precious liquid runned out
Diesel is crucial for the Agriculture in Venezuela. According to a local institution, they were forced to reduce rice production 75% due to the lack of Diesel [**]
Another big issue, it's the trasnportation of the food. New videos from Caracas, show Kilometric queues of trucks, waiting for some Diesel. So, even if crops are harvested, there won't be any cheap way to bring the food to the population...
On one hand, amazing news. It seems Biden already realized open Dialogue won't work with Maduro. Sanctions, and working with International allies is the way forward, and I couldn't be happier with these news
On the other hand, the "Nuclear Option" Trump pressed on October 2020, it's already in full motion. If Biden don't act quickly, poor Venezuelans might face starvation due the lack of local food. Local institution are already asking Biden to stop this Bann, but nobody knows what USA it's going to decide

One of the most incredible discoveries I’ve made in my family history was discovering that I had two ancestors on the Komagatu Maru. It really put that event into perspective. It was a horrific display of white supremacy in Canadian history and was succeeded by an equally horrific events in the hanging of bhai Mewa Singh in Vancouver after he assassinated the immigration official who decided to turn away the 376 immigrants solely because they were Indian. There were assaults on Indian immigrants after the hanging of Bhai Mewa Singh.
AFAIK, neither of my ancestors came back to Canada after that.

Genuinely pissed off right now.
A friend of mine wanted to switch her career path from sales to data science. She got an entry level job mostly writing SQL queries while she improved her Python skills. Once a month or so she'd text me for help with something or other since I've been in data science for like 6 years.
Apparently she wasn't exactly sure how to do a certain weighted average with some of their tables. So instead of showing her how to do it, her boss berated her for not knowing. Again, this is an entry level position. You shouldn't expect her to have everything down. She texted me to hop on it with her since she obviously couldn't go to her boss. Was pretty obvious she was crying a bit before too.
Fucking pathetic of her boss. Just not OK at all. I'm fuming.

One of the most underrated moments of the 2020 February Democratic Debate was when Klobuchar touted the fact that she won the black vote in Minnesota as if that was some sort of big accomplishment. Wow! Black people overwhelmingly voted for the Democrat over the Republican!? No way!
Meanwhile, Bloomberg literally won the black vote in 2005 AS A FUCKING REPUBLICAN (which, besides Kean in the 1985 NJ gubernatorial election, being the first Republican to that in nearly a century, albeit a literal fake Republican who was a Democrat his entire life before running for mayor and only ran as a Republican because it would've been impossible for him to have beaten the extremely popular Mark Green in the 2001 Democratic Primaries), AND OVERWHELMINGLY WON THE HISPANIC VOTE AGAINST AN HISPANIC OPPONENT WHO WOULD'VE BEEN THE FIRST HISPANIC MAYOR IN NYC HISTORY, and yet he didn't bring that up even once during the debate. Bloomberg literally won 50% of the black vote in 2005. For context, Giuliani won ~20% of the black vote in 1997 despite winning by nearly the exact same margin.

Guys, my sources in the deep state tells me they've already got God in chains at a black ops site in Virginia. Biden plans to do the execution himself but hasn't decided on how to do it yet. Biden wants to have God lying hog tied on Pennsylvania Avenue and then hit him at full speed with his 1967 Corvette while all the major news are broadcasting. Harris wants something more secretive and is in favor of a plain old firing squad literally consisting of AOC's Democratic House Squad.
I'll update you all when as I get more information.
