Census numbers are way off. There are more people voting than there are residents in any given election where fuckery was afoot. I think we found out that Broward had, like 85-90% turnout… of the entire population of Broward. Impossible when you consider how many people were below voting age.
The steel. I wonder how far underground it goes? Tunneling could be adverted if it's deep enough.
Alright. So, Representative Omar responded to some tweets, and got her ass in trouble. What were the tweets?

''GOP Leader Kevin McCarthy threatens punishment for @IlhanMN and @RashidaTlaib over their criticisms of Israel. It's stunning how much time US political leaders spend defending a foreign nation even if it means attacking free speech rights of Americans
This tweet has an article behind it, too. Check that source out:

It's all about the Benjamins baby

"Would love to know who @IlhanMN thinks is paying American politicians to be pro-Israel, though I think I can guess. Bad form, Congresswoman. That's the second anti-Semitic trope you've tweeted."
Her response?

AIPAC!
Alright, so we have a rep that doesn't like AIPAC lobbying, and is accusing reps of taking some cash for some favors. Although she didn't even provide any evidence, the assumptions are "Yeah, well, that happens". As an anon, I don't like some lobbyists. As anons, you might want to know what all lobbyists we have working to influence our government. Here ya go:

So, what is a lobbyist? There's a lot to say there, but it's basically people that get paid to do absolutely nothing but influence government representatives to acheive agendas. Agenda is a very important vocabulary word because Q made very certain to point it out recently.
Lobbying:
Lobbying, persuasion, or interest representation is the act of attempting to influence the actions, policies, or decisions of officials in their daily life, most often legislators or members of regulatory agencies. Lobbying is done by many types of people, associations and organized groups, including individuals in the private sector, corporations, fellow legislators or government officials, or advocacy groups (interest groups).
The ethics and morals involved with lobbying are complicated. Lobbying can, at times, be spoken of with contempt, when the implication is that people with inordinate socioeconomic power are corrupting the law in order to serve their own interests. When people who have a duty to act on behalf of others, such as elected officials with a duty to serve their constituents' interests or more broadly the public good, can benefit by shaping the law to serve the interests of some private parties, a conflict of interest exists. Many critiques of lobbying point to the potential for conflicts of interest to lead to agent misdirection or the intentional failure of an agent with a duty to serve an employer, client, or constituent to perform those duties. The failure of government officials to serve the public interest as a consequence of lobbying by special interests who provide benefits to the official is an example of agent misdirection.
Anything with complicated ethics and morals might just need to be held with contempt, period, but I digress.
So, anyway, back to Rep. Omar. She points out something that most could agree is a problem area in our government, lobbying, and just so happens to point out that many of our representatives are seeming to have a "America not first agenda" with their lobbyists associations. K. Rep. Omar's biggest mistake here was not providing proof of her claims. Have you noticed the responses to her statements, though?
>This is anti-Semitic
>This is anti-Semitic
This is anti-Semitic
This is anti-Semitic
Not one single claim to say that our politicians don't get wet palms in exchange for favors. Not to mention that 38 billion that got signed, recently, to go to Israel instead of, oh, I dunno, a WALL. So, where does that leave the state of the board, recently, with the excessive shilling?
Obvious "muh joos" getting countered by "not all joos" countered by "you're Israel first, the board is MOS Psy op!"
Even POTUS weighed in:

“Anti-Semitism has no place in the United States Congress”
This is being forced into public conversation for a reason.
