The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", sykesix asked the members: "What do you do if you arrive early at movie besides go to the snack bar?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard participated in the FBI’s recent search of a Georgia election center at the request of President Trump, she told members of Congress in a Monday letter.

A team under intelligence chief Tulsi Gabbard examined Puerto Rico voting machines for security flaws, but found no evidence of Venezuelan interference.

A team working for US President Donald Trump's spy chief, Tulsi Gabbard, last spring led an investigation into Puerto Rico's voting machines, said Gabbard's office and three sources familiar with the previously unreported events.

Why would the DNI be involved in both of these election related search and seizure operations? Supposedly, there is a conspiracy theory that Venezuela hacked the voting machines in Puerto Rico. But then, it doesn't take any time or brain power to launch a conspiracy theory.

*or* are these two ops meant as dry runs, to normalize Federal seizure of ballots and voting machines, prior to next November?

Trump the God wanted to seize voting machines in 2020, too.

Trump directly involved in plans to seize voting machines -reports

WASHINGTON, Feb 1 (Reuters) - Then-President Donald Trump was directly involved in efforts to use national security agencies to seize voting machines after his 2020 election loss, pressing his lawyer to make queries as advisers drafted two versions of a related executive order, media reports said.
The New York Times, citing three people familiar with the matter, reported on Monday that Trump directed Rudy Giuliani to call the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to determine whether it could legally take control of voting machines in key swing states.

Are these operations to seize ballots and voting machines related to the DoJ demand for detailed voter information, including full name, address, and driver's license number?

Would people hit the streets at such an obvious attempt to corrupt an election? We have been seeing people who dared raise a hand against the storm troopers be beaten, jailed, shot, and killed.
