It's 2008, there's a Republican president with a war in the middle east and a recession.

I know everyone is disappointed that she isn't being kicked to the curb but they had to keep her on the inside. This way she keeps the paycheck, the jets and her paramour on the payroll. She knows where the bodies are buried so they can't piss her off too much.

Once again wondering which to go with

Getting body checked by the President of Armenia’s security detail?

Drinking at a bar w/ Chuck Berry when I was six?

Hitting a crow w/ a trebuchet-launched grapefruit (ACCIDENTALLY)?

Some other incident?

β€œaustin (e/accordion πŸͺ—)” post reading β€œEvery field of human endeavor is about to have the best software and tooling that has ever existed for *any* field.

Look, I already have people telling me WWI was a global psyop to erase things like the 1893 World’s Columbian Exposition grounds & other β€œTartarian ruins” that escaped β€œthe Great Mud Flood” - I don’t need AI to hallucinate history too
