The CIA can't just make arrests on US soil. They actually do need the FBI to do that. That's another form of oversight.

There was no way to know it was a grift. Unless of course you saw every other obvious grift he had run on his followers for years before.

"Nothing can be fixed while people continue to believe there's a difference between Team Red and Team Blue when the same people own both Team Red and Team Blue"

Yeah, people have been spouting that off for decades. The funny thing is, whenever Team Red or Team Blue is in charge you see a real difference.

Makes sense, Gamestop became a weird used goods store a while ago.

We will never truly know how many dimensions the Chess game has.

Say it with me, now. As we all know, the infamous saying goes:

CAN NEVER BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE

THEREFORE A COMPUTER MUST NEVER

It's really incredible how marketing departments can radiate amnesia like this with such proficiency.

There are decades of studies showing therapeutic uses for psychedelics. There is no legitimate excuse for keeping say LSD as a schedule 1 drug.
