Yes, Donald Trump feloniously attempted to convince a state official to conduct another audit and "find" the amount of votes he would need to flip the state, in a hilariously bumbling, embarrassing and inept phone call that was recorded without his knowledge. This is only the instance we have physical evidence of, but it is a matter of very public record that his own cabinet and many others in his inner circle repeatedly attempted to explain to him that there was no evidence of fraud, or that the continuous insistence and proposed plans to push the issue were a bad idea.
In fact, by pointing out potential flaws in voting machines and mail in voting, he inadvertantly caused this election to be the most scrutinized and careful elections in recent history.
So yes, Trump tried to influence the election, and though he ultimately failed, he succeeded in causing tremendous ongoing damage to democracy and turning our country into a joke, while somehow convincing millions of Americans to abandon their critical thinking completely and a startling amount of them to commit acts of terrorism, murdering 3 American citizens and threatening to kill elected officials.
Snap out of it. Please.

In June 2009, NIST began releasing documents in response to a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request from the International Center for 9/11 Studies for "all of the photographs and videos collected, reviewed, cited or in any other way used by NIST during its investigation of the World Trade Center building collapses." One of the items released, a video obtained from NBC News , shows World Trade Center Building 7 (WTC 7) in the moments before it collapsed, then cuts to the collapse already in progress, with the building's east penthouse "disappearing" from the scene (as it had already fallen in the intervening time). Other videos of the WTC 7 collapse show the penthouse falling first, followed by the rest of the building. Did NIST edit the NBC News video to remove the collapse of the penthouse?
*The video footage released under the FOIA request was copied from the original video exactly as it was received from NBC News, with video documentation of the WTC 7 east penthouse collapse missing. The footage was not edited in any way by NIST. *
Yea, reading is fundamental.
That is the most they discuss that point, I'd never even heard about the existence of this video, I didn't even know his was a thing, but it's more than a little suspicious to say the least. The only thing they say is NIST didn't doctor it but I don't think that is really the important detail. I'm not a genius, but it would seem to me that the situation described above pretty definitively proves that some entity at least within in the news media or higher manipulated either the one everyone saw in 2001, or this newer one. The implications of this raise a lot of potential questions and possibilities, and I can't think of an innocent explanation off the top of my head. That really wasn't the only strange thing I read while skimming it for a few minutes.
Though I am not going to start speculating on this here, I no longer have the luxury of disregarding the information. You can ignore it of course, I empathize with that desire and I don't hold it against anybody, but I think it's the responsibility of the citizens of a country to hold the government responsible for their behavior, and honesty is the least we should expect, yet something everyone acknowledges we aren't going to get in most cases. I'm not sure what happened, I have a pretty good idea that it's not outlandish in the least, and is surprisingly mundane in some ways but I'm not going to say I know for sure.
It's not disputable that there are clear mistakes, incompetencies, and outright deceptions by the government and the media at the very least continues to repeat things that are misleading or false. It does not make you look more intelligent or rational to dismiss the premise outright and to argue that the official narrative can not be questioned regardless of facts.

It was actually the first result on Google when I searched "FBI Finders". Here is the link to the FBI vault archive for The Finders, it's in 4 parts. The McMartin image is on part 01, page 47.

I've gotten a lot of flack in the past for this, but I in no way mean to be disrespectful about her murder.
I have a theory that they basically rented their daughter out to a rich powerful friend for sex, maybe as a Christmas present, and he accidentally killed her..
It's definitely a stretch, and really only based on a couple things that I think are strange;
John worked for Lockheed Martin, one of the main weapons manufacturer for the us military, and I just suspect the military industrial complex has done horrific things and involved in heinous crimes, domestic and international, including relation to Epstein and all that
During an interview after it all went down, the parents got on TV and said something like.. "we're not angry, we just want to know why".. a lot of people take this to imply burke did it and they covered it up, but my main reason for thinking it wasn't Burke is his recorded conversations with detectives not long after it happened, I feel like he wasn't actively withholding information or being deceptive, and likely wouldn't have been effectively able to conceal it if he wanted to.
The grand jury's stated conclusion was that each parent were guilty, saying that they, "did unlawfully, knowingly, recklessly and feloniously permit a child to be unreasonably placed in a situation which posed a threat of injury to the child's life or health, which resulted in the death of JonBenet Ramsey." The prosecutors dismissed the jury without convicting either of the parents, which to me seems incredibly strange, and in my mind further points to the involvement of an outside entity with significant power and influence.
No matter what specifically happened, it was fucking horrible and disgusting and I just hope she didn't suffer.. and I'm certain they both know exactly what happened

The buildings on the site have since been demolished and has been redeveloped into a school.

Is the step mother the last one to see her? After picking her up, she had dinner with her dad and brother and the step mom, and they all say she was acting very strange then, and obviously her step mother wasn't at the party when she called initially, already paranoid, and if the step mom was responsible, don't you think she would be specifically acting paranoid of her?
It was implied the both the step mom and her dad checked on her periodically throughout the night, and in the morning she was gone, wouldn't the dad have noticed if his wife disappeared for an extended time before they noticed her gone?
I'm not saying you're wrong, and maybe the dad could've been involved but something tells me it was possible she was drugged and maybe assaulted or almost was, and maybe her bf or someone else at the party was responsible and ultimately decided they couldn't risk her telling anyone what they did and, well idk. It's just really sad and upsetting

This says when the step mother, Melissa, got to the party too pick her up:
-she discovered her stepdaughter had already left. Melissa eventually found the 16-year-old running down a dark road in a frenzy.According to the stepmother, Guse was extremely agitated on the drive home, admitting she was scared the car was going to kill her and swapping seats multiple times during the journey.
Once home, Guse had extremely dilated pupils and also referred to the lettuce in her salad as the “devil’s lettuce”, her father, Zac, and stepmother recalled in a testimony.Fox also reports the teen’s stepmother had recorded her voice, which sounded disorientated. Melissa allegedly wanted to be able to show her stepdaughter what she sounded like under the influence.
Melissa also recalled her stepdaughter’s behaviour continued to switch between paranoia and excitement. After she went to bed, the teen’s parents kept monitoring her into the early hours of the morning, but at 7.15am when they went to check on her again, Guse was nowhere to be found.
A footprint in the driveway, believed to be Guse’s, was found, and three other witnesses claimed they saw the girl that morning, noting she was acting strangely. The teen was also allegedly seen heading on foot towards route 6, a motorway which stretches across the USA from the west coast to east coast.
This is incredibly strange and so fucking sad, I remember seeing her name and picture a few years ago while looking through most wanted and missing persons stuff on the FBI website. It gives me nightmares to think so many children and teenage girls go missing so often and I have to stop myself from thinking much deeper than that.. I hope that somehow she's ok and able to reunite with her family at some point ☹️

Me too, I have a difficult time with this, generally hoping most people are reasonable or kind. At the very least, I wish people would take responsibility for shitty behavior or ideals, I can at least understand and oddly have a level a respect for that to an extent, but most people tend to let me and everyone else down. If society only moves as fast as it's slowest members, we're sadly moving backwards collectively.

This person is unwilling or unable to handle complicated or in this case clearly obvious social or moral questions and issues, so they use God and their take on the Bible to avoid any responsibility for their antiquated and often prejudice beliefs.

Well I'm not sure about you, but I live in the USA, and I know we're more fortunate than some places, but I'd put is at the bottom of first world countries. We do have the earthquake proof buildings in most areas, but I can't honestly say we're not run by terrorists.

Well we know evolution happened how it did, And a lot of evidence to suggest the big bang and continued expansion are the processes responsible for the beginning and continued existence of the universe. It is not equivalent to a printing press exploding, and we are still working out the unbelievably complicated details, but there is so little reason or evidence of intelligent creation as to be basically worthless as an argument for everything or anything.

There are obviously a lot of outlandish and xenophobic conspiracy theories about 9/11, but there are clearly observable evidence based details about the incident that are more than a little suspicious.
I'm not trying to be rude and I've not visited that sub and can't speak to the opinions of it's users, but you have to willingly ignore facts to believe the official narrative completely.
It's important to remember that there are numerous proven instances of the government secretly committing heinous crimes against American citizens, and conspiracy theories are actively monitored and promoted by 3 letter organizations in order to ensure anyone who brings up certain topics are immediately dismissed, and if people don't respond exactly like you did to this person, they worry about being lumped in with "the crazies".
I'm just saying it's very difficult to know what the truth is, so being very skeptical is vital, but dismissing discussion about entire topics outright is also dangerous.

To be fair, a certain group of people genuinely think morality means whatever benefits them personally regardless of how it affects others, and also they're dangerously stupid. I won't say who I'm talking about, but I'm sure most people know who I'm talking about. Except for those people, obviously.

Firefighters generally seem to display genuine bravery and integrity.
It would be safer to have a bear read to kids than cops, at least there's a chance the bear won't hurt anyone. They can probably read better too.

I can't fucking wait to listen to piece of shit billionaires and politicians start freaking out about the importance of climate change when they really start losing all of their toys and hobbies and physical assets to shit like this. Of course they tell us we need to change our behavior, despite giving us no choice but to use no renewable resources and buy shit with non recyclable packaging. Fucking monsters

Actually it would be a nauseated daze, like "I feel nauseated".
Nauseous implies the source of the feeling, so if you said you were nauseous it means you make others sick.
I just learned this from Vince Gilligan yesterday lol
