Good thing they’re not the kind of crooked cops that would plant evidence
Knowing the FIB for the degenerates they are I have no doubts they went through her undies drawers...
Supermajority decision threshold requirements are often found in small deliberative groups where these requirements are sometimes adopted in an attempt to increase protection of varied interests within the group. The requirements may be formally stated or may be unstated (for example, when an organization is described as having a “consensus culture”).

A common criticism of consensus decision-making is that it can lead to a situation wherein a minority can block the will of the majority. Consensus advocates argue that this is a good feature—that no action is preferable to one without the consensus support of the group.
Attempts to resolve the dilemma through formal supermajority standards are generally discouraged by parliamentary authorities:
Some people have mistakenly assumed that the higher the vote required to take an action, the greater the protection of the members. Instead the opposite is true. Whenever a vote of more than a majority is required to take an action, control is taken from the majority and given to the minority. ... The higher the vote required, the smaller the minority to which control passes.

Dominant minority
See also: Dominant minority
A dominant minority, also called elite dominance, is a minority group that has overwhelming political, economic, or cultural dominance in a country, despite representing a small fraction of the overall population (a demographic minority). Dominant minorities are also known as alien elites if they are recent immigrants.
The term is most commonly used to refer to an ethnic group which is defined along racial, national, religious, cultural or tribal lines and that holds a disproportionate amount of power. A notable example is South Africa during the apartheid regime, where White South Africans wielded predominant control of the country although they were never more than 22% of the population. African American-descended nationals in Liberia, Christians in Sierra Leone, Sunni Arabs in Ba’athist Iraq, the Alawite minority in Syria (since 1970 under the rule of the Alawite Assad family), and the Tutsi in Rwanda from 1884 to 1959 have also been cited as 20th-century and early-21st-century examples.

The Left is STILL terrified of Trump..
They know the REAL story — the RINOs are being ousted in their primaries at TWICE THE RATE they have lost primaries in the past.
These RINO traitors are being replaced with MAGA.
If Trump runs in 2024, there will not be enough RINO traitors left in the state legislatures to hand the Steal to Democrats.by HandBasketHell
Make sure you sweep his home for bugs
Wonder if a Dominant Minority" has prevailed in modern politics?
I’m sure they brought their own...................
I just heard Charlie Kirk quote that very Orwell quote and am changing my tagline from:
“To anger a conservative, lie to him. To anger a liberal, tell him the truth”-—Theodore Roosevelt”
to:
“All tyrannies rule through fraud and force, but once the fraud is exposed they must rely exclusively on force.” George Orwell
I have to paraphrase to fit tagline space. ugh.
“Tyrannies rule thru fraud and force; once the fraud is exposed they must rely exclusively on force.”
He didn’t say it was empty. He said Trump didn’t have anything in it. Then he later clarified that there could have been personal mementos in the the safe. Or at least the was my personal interpretation.
