Welcome to our disorganized little band, @Irredeemable. I am curious how you will meet us there, hopefully in disguise already would be for the best.

The highest, most decisive experience is to be alone with one's own self. You must be alone to find out what supports you, when you find that you can not support yourself.

The core of an individual is the mystery of life, which dies when it is 'grasped'. That is also why symbols want to keep their secrets.

"There is, indeed, no single quality of the cat that man could not emulate to his advantage."
- Carl Van Vechten
I am, at my core, a personification and manifestation of those things whose blood and hearts run red with the ferocity of the animal world. It is this which convicts and controls my works, my writing, my being; the force and guidance in which I gain wisdom from. It is what inspires me as a creator and weaver of words, the very thing I admire as an author.
My leanings, savage as they are, are of the feline sort as there exists no greater lineage of beasts whom can be drawn from. No others captivate and motivate my talent and skill as the greatest of cats do.

The links provided were to provide support of claims, however, the Politifact one I chose purposefully in that case because it is still incorrect; the same could be said for the wiretapping claims. Infamously, that same site is well known for purporting that "it was not bleach" Hillary Clinton's subordinates used but a webtool called BleachBit and had previously rated that claim as "Pants on fire." of a lie when it is now no secret that they had indeed attempted to destroy evidence. They are simply not reliable sites and must be taken with added salt on anything they post; they have a motive, which is to say they will tell the truth so long as it fits their narrative.
California chose not to adhere to the President's directive? It matters nothing if they think his accusations are childish, the man is still President and has an authority to direct his powers. Furthermore, California is an excellent example of the "Resistance", in that even now they are pushing their sanctuary state and city status against federal law enforcement. Is it "childish" on behalf of the government to enforce its laws, such as investigating voter fraud or immigration law, or is that what the federal government is supposed to do? I will err on the latter and that it is California that is the problem in all these examples, not every other state in the union.
Nevertheless, let us not forget that "Russia" somehow "hacked" the election to ensure that Donald Trump won the presidency, so why do they have a need to be so defensive about an investigation into the events of 2016? Strange, that.
The simplest and most effective example is the prior administration and its peers, of which were very liberal Democrats. This is the same avenue of approach used by the Obama administration and its supporters post Bush administration. This is how people tend to argue or make their point, comparing the two and citing which did what better. It falls under the category of recency, but is also subject to the fact that historically, we did not know nearly as much about their operations as we do today. Information was not every hour of the day at lightning fast speed.
Furthermore, when you make a claim that the President of the United States is making "baseless" and "childish" accusations or is "an idiot", do be prepared to receive return fire at a high volume. I would think that this should be obvious by now in the current political climate, yet a statement as above leaves that to question. Additionally, you stated you voted for his competition and supported them over his campaign - do not be surprised that people will judge your personal values off of that decision, even if you are an independent. I am an independent myself and I wholeheartedly back the President, not just by obligation, but because I laid out my stand for him and his identity for America. No matter what I say or do, I will be judged by the fact alone I voted for Donald Trump despite the fact that I care nothing for political parties or allegiances and only care about the nation.
As for briefings, you do recognize and realize that the longer a meeting goes on and the more material it composes itself of, the less likely it is to be successful, no? There is a reason they use bullet formats, highlight subjects, refer to specific persons with their names and roles, provide written and slideshow or teleconference material, among many others. The fact that Donald Trump has seen himself this far in life, to the seat of the President of the most powerful nation on Earth, indicates to me that this is part of his system and cycle of operations, something the corporate world does in many cases its own. It is neither unusual or strange to be in a meeting and have specific blocks of business dedicated solely to you which are brought up in the agenda and overview with your name; repeating said name emphasizes it to the reader to better cement its role. Being brief, concise and to the point is critical. The only reason to be present throughout is to have an idea of tangential matters or details that might be brought up only in discussion, which is to knowingly also ignore that the briefings are not just for him alone.

I really don't understand why whenever I give a statement about Trump, people here either misread what I said, or they attack liberal/democratic candidates, when as I have repeated many times, I am neither a liberal or a democrat.

@Ryonara, @Lucius Cypher, or @Gordian Nought, please let me know who has Brannor's weapons, which of course he would have been disarmed of if he were actually taken prisoner. I say this for two reasons, as first our resident wild-knight would like them back soon enough and second, if they do have to make an escape, getting them sooner than later is a positive.

I wouldn't consider Politifact that accurate especially not with the chart to be considered. Lets also ignore that Judicial Watch performed a heel-turn, not to mention there is plenty of evidence with a bit of searching, then of course there is this, this, and this evidence to top off the need to be deeply suspicious of California's voting registry. Of course, as always, more evidence finds itself elsewhere to support that not just California has unusual qualities at hand, other places such as Virginia do too.
This could go on and on truly, but the matter is that there stands a reasonable challenge that Hillary Clinton did not win the popular vote. The popular vote is of course little more than a trophy when we consider that the United States is a constitution republic with an electoral college and not subject to the whims of a mob-mentality, purely democratic vote. There was an intent behind the design, which we know well.
Ultimately, my point is there is no real doubt that the people knew what they wanted and were asking for. The electoral landslide alone is near definitive proof about that; this too is ignoring the massive number of faithless electors.

I will take it then that the "Judicial Watch" and "Politico" sources are no longer good enough, neither is a commission dedicated to rooting out the voting fraud of the last Presidential election. This to me just appears to be denial, as the difference of approximately one-point-five million American voters is very close for a popularity contest, especially for one where a career politician with tremendous power like Hillary Clinton is taking on the would-be underdog and "every label you can throw at him" Donald Trump. The argument of "many misinformed people" falls apart very quickly when you break that down into even basic statistics and throw out the likelihood, evidence, and fact there was voting fraud.
As for sore about anything, there's this, which has not and never will age well. As an addition, here's this moment, which will live in infamy. For voters, this was not an issue of being "uninformed".

I'd say the fact Trump won just proves how misinformed people are rather than how informed he is, but then again he lost the popular vote.
You do realize with the amount of fraudulent votes being found out for the Clinton campaign that President Trump might have also won the popular vote, correct? If we did a recount today, a state would already have swung - New Hampshire - due to voting fraud, as well as out of state voting, and entire counties in California would need be given a review due to the staggering number of false votes. These are just what have been made public and available from that investigation, of which it still ongoing and still tallying voter fraud.
This is not a viable argument or approach; the United States of America and its people knew exactly who they were voting for. You can still see it with the base of support that has rallied behind the President. Just today the Vice President left a professional sporting event because they disgraced themselves in front of everyone by kneeling like spoiled children.
They knew exactly what they wanted in an administration.
The trek around the dangerously tall grass was time consuming, but much to their fortune at least half their number had some sort of tie to the wild heart and it made what might well have amounted to a major delay into one quite minor. This was a welcome distraction from what the paladin knew was coming before him, a test of his self and resolve. It was not that he could not escape his bonds if need be, or at least as he had been told, but that he was to be roped and bound at all. This was a motion of trust and sacrifice, one he truly hoped would let him seek out this missing man they so needed, this "Leosin" and if at all possible, strike a blow against this cult. What that was to be Brannor did not know, rather he prayed to the ferine pool within him, that ethereal might, that it would make it clear if at all possible; as distinct a beacon as the dawn itself.
Surveying now where the path led them, what he beheld did not rouse much additional confidence. Whatever this place was, with its smoky pillars billowing ash into the otherwise pristine air, certainly did not belong; it reeked of outside influence in what amounted to otherwise rocky grassland. Yet, all the same, the outlander doubted if this was the camp and not just a camp. As it was their foe was ramshackle, some ugly force made up scaled beasts and filthy, coin-loving men, headed off by zealots sworn to some unheard of queen. All of its business roused nothing but disdain in Brannor's heart, at least he was certain of that.
"Is this it?" The huntsman inquired, looking to the halfling and the young woman, trusting them to know better of what this camp was to have been than he, the bear-man and the half-blood orc.
Folding his arms, leather rubbing against the chain links across his chest, he returned to staring at the scene before them as distant as it was. Clearly of the many things he took confidence in, that the Silver Lady would see their deeds through, this turn of events was not what he imagined. When they said "army" Brannor imagined some great sea of tents, smoke, fire, steel and wood, some force of reckoning bearing down on the land headed by a cult of draconic fools... not this, not some strange rocky plateau with but a seeming tower resting atop it.
With a determine sigh and shake of his head from side to side in disapproval, he added, "Then we might as well make ourselves ready... assuming the intent is to still walk myself into the camp as a captive."
The golden eyes warily observed their reactions thereafter.

The Vale
The Town,Currently
Birbin hemmed and hawed for a moment, musing over the situation as he accompanied them into the grand Hall. Its massive stone structure topped only by wood that should have, had it not been maintained so well, long rotted away. Everything by comparison to the small man was far, far larger and almost as though it might well have been constructed for giants in comparison to his meagerness. This was not what perplexed the wizard, rather that the mysterious Green Man was nowhere to be found still, but Valmjr - a man he knew perhaps only slightly better - had survived. Not a complaint in the slightest, the gnome was visibly overjoyed, just more confused than he already had been before which was to no one's favor.
For a few prolonged moments, almost as though he had not heard the far, far elder Wick, he looked up at the distant fireplace with his hand on his smooth, almost childish chin. He muttered incoherently, clearly lost in thought before realizing he was being addressed.
"Oh, yes, yes! That is right, the Hall." He began, hands wide and illustrating over the ceiling above him as they reached up, "It is the place heroes go to tell tales of their battles, rest, eat and drink..." Birbin trailed off for a moment, looking to the hunter of monsters as he called out various goods of use.
"... but most importantly, the Hall is... well, magical. Probably, or so Birbin thinks. There's stories of how the gods used to visit them and participate in great trials alongside mortal men, looking for those to prove their worth, but this isn't something that happens. Well, anymore at least, assuming the stories Birbin hears are true!"
The gnome's worn shoes pattered across the floor with the near silence of a cat, leading the outrageous, vibrant purple robe trailing in response. He looked around, eyes wide and fixated on the fire, leaning from the left to the right to seemingly better understand what was but only a tremendous fireplace, upon which many logs were burning even now. The heat of its flames and vibrancy in light filled the shuttered room and likely kept the darkness out throughout the long night, yet this was not what seemed to glint in the gnome's eyes. It was a mystery, even to him whatever it was, but that was only temporary.
While the paladin in her plate mail stashed away a few of the javelins the man in the mask had so courteously found, she too paused as the gnome erupted into exclamation. It came from nowhere, as to be expected, but with much thought.
"Birbin knows why it is a temple!" He pointed at the floor, "The underground, of course! For the fallen heroes of Ysgard! That must be where the Green Man went if he wasn't here here."
This revelation seemed to make the small man estatic, only to have the interrupted, armored woman shake her head and sigh in visible annoyance. Her expression almost seemed to narrate her thoughts of, "Joy, a secret underground crypt." However, the wizard paid no heed to this and hurried excitedly toward Valmjr.
"We must see this, you know the way, yes?"

For myself, it depends on just who that character is to me. Did I write them for this project, such as a roleplay, or did they occur naturally and spontaneously on their own and were thus much more organic? The best characters I have ever wrote, worked on, designed or purchased works from were those that were entirely organic - products based upon the reality I experience. Many of them are shadows of real people, the darker sides more often simply because they make for better characters; they are flawed echoes of reality, distorted and twisted for fiction. In many ways, the real confirmation that they have become their own "persons" is when the dream can be made real. By this I mean, to think about them is not to make them do anything, just what they would actually do. Second nature put to narrative really.
Others, such as my persona here, are again reflections of the self, but not nearly as twisted or turned. They are characters themselves, but obscured in what is or is not them. This is both intentional and unintentional, yet it is a disguise all the same and adds to the mystique and mystery. It emphasizes their person as an independent agency, not just a thing to be read, but rather understood.

@Sanctus Spooki, still limited time and from a source that is obviously not to be trusted, but we are sinking deeper into that side of the depths where there's a great amount of question to be had. While I doubt the validity of Julian Assange's statement here, it certainly is helping to cast a shadow of doubt like this Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department's supposed leak. No less, it matters not how intelligent or not these people are, as again mass is a power all its own. Just that there is such deep mistrust and division at play is all that is needed to push this over the edge.
As for, "being told by the investigators themselves" that is the exact issue; they are not saying anything. Their public relations right now are perhaps reaching near zero in credibility. Everyone is awaiting an answer and having failed this, they have allowed skepticism to run rampant in an environment where no one, rightfully, trusts the government.
