After losing back-to-back gubernatorial elections in Georgia, all the while whining about an alleged system of racist voter suppression that didn't exist, Stacey Abrams has surfaced in Nigeria. Apparently, she's there to oversee the African country's elections as "co-leader" of a joint international observer mission between the National Democratic Institute and International Republican Institute.
Remember, it was Stacey Abrams who denied her first gubernatorial loss to Governor Brian Kemp (snip)
She popped up in an interview with Al Jazeera, and said "despite a slow start" to voting, she and her fellow observers "have seen orderly lines, we have seen long lines." Abrams surmised that those orderly and long lines were "signaling strong enthusiasm" among voters because they are "willing to stand in line and have patience." Hm.
Notably, back here in the United States, Abrams has claimed that long lines of citizens waiting to vote was definitive proof of "voter suppression," as she did in here in 2019. "In the state of Georgia, black people faced hour-long lines — up to 4 hours — waiting to cast their ballots," Abrams said, alleging that those waiting in lines to participate in elections were "held hostage." In Abrams' retelling of events, lines on Election Day 2018 in Georgia were proof that "voter suppression is as old as America."
Well, what do the "long lines" of voters Abrams is observing in Nigeria say about their election system? Why is waiting to vote in America proof of a "hostage" situation and "voter suppression," but in Nigeria it's "signaling strong enthusiasm," as she said?
She can't have it both ways, but she's apparently going to try and keep the grift going for as long as possible. But perhaps next time a foreign country needs international observers, they should choose someone who isn't an election denier.

“…rescind the security clearances of EVERY retired military member that sits on a corporate board/executive team/etc, retired politician, retired SES, ALL OF THEM…make it so they’re ineligible for 10 years”
VDH has been railing about this for ten years or more. It is WAY past due to break up these highly destructive cozy relationships, sinecures, and ways of doing business and governance.
And we need to anticipate how they will make their end-runs around the new rules and close those doors before they exploit them.

1. None of them are eligible for anything for 10 years. Exception to that rule, case by case basis, if they are DIRECTLY involved in some type of legitimate, life saving, life changing research and are at the work site EVERY day that work is being performed and, demonstrably, participating in the research and development. Weekends and holidays off, of course.
2. Each company will provide, in writing and after review, why they need ????? to have a TSSCI. If they say that he/she has demonstrated exemplary leadership skills, given that they were a General/Admiral/Director, not seeing where having a TSSCI is needed. Let them lead the company.
But who does the reviews and grants the exceptions? If they are part of the old crony network, the reviews, exceptions and approvals will all be rubber stamps.
And they are. all of them. No one the decision making process cares
It’s always been this way to some extent. But the dishonor, lack of integrity, and corruption have gotten FAR worse the past 20 or 30 years.
I misunderstood your previous comment.
I would think person who implemented such a policy, could come up with a review process.
But, the rot has only gotten worse
Will some old white guy win? Do they even have basements in Nigeria?
She promised to eat all of the ballots she determined were illegal or improper.
