How about those stale tar-like hard candies.

I’m assuming it was a box truck with a roller door (like a garage door), and by locked, they might have meant latched. Forgetting to latch the door is a really easy mistake when in a rush or otherwise preoccupied and when the truck hits a bump, the door could easily roll up.

Gotta include the ones riding at night in black/dark clothes with no reflectors or lights; be it using the crosswalk, against a ‘do not cross’ or in the middle of the [car] lane, ignoring the bike lane.

I definitely agree. There really should be some sort of vetting processes in place. (An in depth psych eval would do wonders)
The biggest issue is that constitution would need to be amended to add the investigation process to the other three requirements, which could take years upon years to ever get approved. Also, going by the current trend of our political system, being denied could be seen as (or may even be) political subterfuge or gatekeeping by whichever side.
Our system, while it is working for the moment, it really does need improvements. This past eight years being the glowing proof of it.
I’ve heard it was more closer to 10 years for a TS/SCI, though it could possibly be more if the investigation finds a blip or for a high level position like a DA.
The presidency however is exempt from needing to go through the process as they were elected into it. As bad as it sounds, with the way the democracy was built and is run, everything would come to a screeching halt if all of the presidents/elected officials needed to go through a lengthy (1yr +) investigation just to have the possibility of starting their job. Instead, they are actively judged of their in/actions during their tenure and impeached (or worse) if needed.
But as you said, the investigators do not release any info and only provide an approval/denial to whomever sponsored (paid) the clearance check. Their only job is to create a profile so they can determine if the person can be trusted with privileged information and not be coerced to release it.
The best explanation I’ve come up with after discussing politics at length with them is that they are gaslit. Pure and simple. They just have enough gullibility to see one tiny thing that coincides with something they were taught or otherwise believe. It also explains why they are being scammed so easily on truthsocial.
Trump just has that dirty salesman skill of creating a story with just enough validity or truth and twisting everything to his favor.
Trump: You think that’ll work?
Trump’s lawyer: Hypothetical excuses are bad. They can ruin the credibility of your defense. M’kay?
Trump: (to the media) If I did do it, it would have made it a smart concept, and therefore it would make me a genius.
Trump’s lawyer: …

The career you chose out of high school doesn’t have to be the one you do until you retire and you can also very easily go back to school if you are ever unsatisfied with your path.
Sometimes it just takes a bit of time and experience for you to find your passion and with it your skills to really blossom.
I, for instance started with veterinary nursing, but ended up in mech/elec. engineering and will be taking classes on the side for it.
To be perfectly blunt and without the typical humor that’s been associated with him… I would say it could be a fear he sees of him losing ground with the realization that all of his problems and misdeeds are finally catching up to him and one of the very few paths out is slipping away.
For someone who could be seemingly suffering from what may be, or something similar to NPD; seeing a lot of what one created, appearing at least to their eyes, to be starting to erode can be very distressing to one’s psyche. This I imagine would cause that person to lash out, similar to how one would act in a fight or flight scenario.
The advertisement begins with three-year-old Monique Corzilius, standing in a meadow in New York City’s Highbridge Park picking petals off a daisy, counting from one to nine while birds chirp in the background. She makes several errors as she counts. When she was unable to count to ten successfully during filming, it was decided that her mistakes might be more appealing to the voters. After she reaches “nine”, the girl pauses, as if trying to remember the next number. A booming male voice is heard counting the numbers backward from “ten” in a manner similar to the start of a missile launch countdown. Seemingly in response to the countdown, the girl turns her head toward a point off-screen, and the scene freezes.
As the countdown continues, a zoom of the video still focuses on the girl’s right eye until her pupil fills the screen, eventually blacking it out as the countdown simultaneously reaches zero. A bright flash and thunderous sound of a nuclear explosion, featuring footage of a detonation, replaces the blackness. The scene cuts to footage of a mushroom cloud, and then to a final cut of a slowed close-up section of the incandescence in the nuclear explosion. A voice-over from Johnson plays over all three pieces of nuclear detonation footage, stating emphatically, “These are the stakes! To make a world in which all of God’s children can live, or to go into the dark. We must either love each other, or we must die.” At the end of the voice-over, the explosion footage is replaced by white letters on a black screen, written all in capitals, stating “Vote for President Johnson on November 3”. A voice-over reads the words on the screen, then adds “The stakes are too high for you to stay home.”

Well, I guess you could technically call a toddler a preteen.
