OT: Hypocrisy in politics

yeah, there's no way that someone would be that good of a shot to trust with just hitting your ear, while you're talking and moving around. It was literally 1/2" away from a head shot. At that range, the wind could easily push it that far.

I've seen people saying the whole thing was a set up by Trump, but that just doesn't make any sense to me. I don't see any way that he (or anyone) would take a risk like that. Risk/reward doesn't make sense.
"At that range, the wind could easily push it that far."

Correct, depending on conditions. A light bullet with a 10 MPH crosswind will move 1.03 inches at 100 yards. Heavier bullets and less wind about half of that down to basic bullet tolerance at no wind.
 
All these CA tech guys and news anchors coming around to Trump is pure comedy. They know they're in trouble if things continue like this towards November and are doing damage control to get in front of their past 8 years of maleficence.

Plus, it’s not a stationary target … hard to plan … ok, after I say this or make this hand movement, i will slowly tilt my head 30 degrees to the right, make sure you clip the top of my ear.

Unless blanks were fired and he had some sort of Hollywood effects going on.

Of course I’ve been watching and that’s my point. You cant complain about all of those numerous examples you gave me and others that have occurred out of one side of your mouth and then say someone should be fired because of what they said out of the other side of your mouth. Either all of it is fireable or none of it is. Too many only care when it’s their view that is getting impacted.
You brought up the example of Hollywood, and I haven't wasted my time complaining about it over the decades it has happened. In regards to campus speeches etc., if they are funded through taxes then they can't, if they are funded privately, they can do as they wish, which has been the way it has been forever.

Bullet path/ head movement simulation. ( most all the interesting info in the first minute of the vid.)

 
I will say this. Not saying I’m crazy about the guy … can’t make him out just yet … but Elon Musk acquiring X had a tremendous impact on narratives. The bottled up, one side only view enabled so much destruction. Of course, all of a sudden, a lot of dems hate free speech … I’ll always be a staunch advocate of it. If twitter was completely controlled, the last couple of years would have been a complete disaster. Alternate voices, independent journalists, etc … they’ve made a difference in people finding truths. That single acquisition forever altered the future of this country.

For him to have the nads to allow free speech, I admire it because the pressure to protect the media, protect narratives, etc, was intense.
 
When I see all of these articles and videos regarding the attempted assassination of President Trump, my oldest son brought up a good point about the shooter. He was a communication expert (he was attached to the special forces, but isn't special forces himself) when he spent a year over in Iraqi with the joint special forces, which included numerous snipers and other highly trained forced for incursions into enemy territory. He keeps in touch with a lot of these people and the first point they brought up is that any highly trained sniper only shoots for center mass and would never take a head shot due to the difficulty of a clean hit. They tend to believe it was more likely just luck that he even hit the target. The sad point is that he wasn't even very good at setting up in a location where he couldn't be seen, which says a lot about the very poor security by special forces, the FBI, and other security that were in charge of his protection. I wonder if President Trump will hire some of his own security now, or what the security service will due to fix the problems? Due to some of the videos pointing out the clumsy moves of the security, it is obvious some of them shouldn't be on the team protecting Trump.

I agree, personally I don't like anyone censoring free speech whether funded with tax dollars or not but agree it is legal if not funded with tax dollars.

Reports swirling that the protectors of Democracy are going to dump their candidate for possibly nominating Hillary. I also saw a great opinion piece that they should nominate Romney... can you imagine either? Lol absolute free entertainment and wouldn't change the likely outcome of November

Dems are in a bad spot right now. Stick with a guy who has mashed potato for brains or try and refurb somebody even less worthy?

Shit is going to go down somehow, someway, imo. We aren’t going to slide safely into the election. Something major will happen.

They’re still all scumbags as far as I’m concerned. Lots of theater, lots of deception, lots of lies, deceit, both sides will open the floodgates with everything they have … it’s all corrupt to the core, don’t care which side you’re picking.

And in the end, it probably doesn’t even matter what the true vote would be. If assassination is fair game, so is the ballot box.

Democracy is dying? My ass. It was on life support long, long ago.
 
Well it sounds like he will be replaced by the radical train wreck.
Fixed it 4 u. She is the worst. U cant fix stupid if anyone votes 4 her. Her VP pick will be even worse. No good choices out there. She is so unlikeable. Heard she treats her staff like garbage. She is the epidomy of entitlement. Has accomplished nothing as a VP., but F things up. She will be a puppet. She will say and do anything to get ahead and power! Ask Willie Brown.
 
I'm all for the theater and sound bites of an open convention... can you imagine hearing 5 minute speeches from Bernie, Hilary, AOC, Mayor Pete, Kamala... all trying to wear the "defender of Democracy" mantle and trying to defend Joe's administration while trashing him...popcorn
 


This tidbit, too.

Of course obamacare was crap! It ruined the relatively decent health system that we had before and made it terribly worse.

You’ll keep your doctor.
You’ll pay less.

All utter nonsense! It was a bigger lie than covid!

Since Obama Care my cost of insurance has more than tripled for me and my son still on insurance I pay over $14,000 per year; my yearly deductible went 2,500 single/5,000 family to $9,200 single/$18,400 family; my doctor visit was $25 now it is $50 for primary/quickcare and $150 for any specialist Doctor or nurse practitioner; Also if I go to a quickcare they are not allowed to send me to a specialist, I have to spend the time and money to go back to my primary for a specialist approval, so a quickcare is almost useless now. Thank you for Obamacare to both parties while all the congress and senate get amazing insurance for free federal governmental employees

As a side note my Obamacare insurance is so bad that it is cheaper for me to use my free GoodRX card to get medicine that my insurance which cost me a fortune.

And immigrants can get care at an emergency room for no charge to them.

He was awful. Not as much as the current guy, but he started a big chunk of the fire. Racist for saying so? Ok, that’s water off my back. Idgaf what people say or think about me. He sucked. The current oatmeal brain is horrendous. The country has never been in a worse place. And when their platform is “ the other guy will ruin democracy”, give some actual substance … what do you stand for? 4T to other countries for wars? Illegal immigration by the 10s of thousands? It’s all sick sht. Greedy fks left and right who’d kill their first born for a little power or a dollar.
 
What did anybody expect from Biden. We took the VP from the worst presidency America has ever seen and made him president. Expecting anything but failure that comes from failure is just wishful thinking. Now if they put Harris in as their candidate your looking at a complete blunder if she wins.
 
I'm really interested to see how Nevada and Wisconsin handle this politically... Ohio bent over backwards to help Dems with late convention but both states I read have pretty strongly written laws on replacing a candidate and dropping out isn't a reason. If I'm a AG, I'm not bending over backwards to help their coup... let them yell about Democracy since they're doing it already while the party elites selected their candidate

Now they want to try that again with Kamala "every republican is an evil racist" Harris is the new Presidential candidate. She is the most vile person in the party and it is very possible she will be the new candidate and Biden has already backed her.

She called Biden a racist and it worked out well for her. She will say anything to get a vote. This woman has no integrity. Not a ounce.

Well in fairness...he is. I mean this is a guy who called racial integration a racial jungle for his kids. And said if you vote for Trump over him "you ain't black." Good thing Joe is the arbiter of all things black. When asked if he took a cognitive test he asked a black reporter if he took a test for crack and if he was a druggie. So you know, all the things that if Trump did it the liberal media would have an aneurysm over it but pretends it doesn't exist under Biden.

In reality Harris is probably one of the biggest racist in DC, that is why Biden and her made a good pair.

I don't think "integrity" is the measuring stick for this election.
What’s integrity? That’ll be redefined in the dictionary, as well.

I feel like our politics closer mimic politics in 3rd world countries than what I expected for the US. Lying, cheating, fixing, greed, propaganda, predetermination, amoral, evil …. “We the people” was fantastic a fantastic ideal … but it ain’t about you, me or the next door neighbor. None of us matter. Our vote doesn’t matter. Our voice doesn’t matter. We are all just witnesses to whatever the hell it is they want to do and whatever they chose to do isn’t going to benefit us, the people that actually grind through life.

F em all.

Why... that's like tossing away your vote in an election that has more consequences than any before. If people want a 3rd party, fine, build it ground up at grassroots and work to really establish a legitimate 3rd party platform...but don't throw votes away this year at a candidate that is a Democrat but has a few counter culture ideologies that appeal to parts of the conservative base. Not in sn election that now has as far left a candidate that has ever made it to that spot, placed there by party elites without a single vote.

Except unlike Bidenomics Reaganomics actually worked.
Reagan entered/exited office
Inflation 12.5%/4.4%
Unemployment 7.2%/5.3%
Interest Rates 13.35%/7.57%

Biden entered/exited office
Inflation 1.4%/3.4%
Unemployment 6.7%/3.7% (same as pre-Covid)
Interest Rates 0.36%/5.3%

My last car was zero percent interest rate under President Trump, the last car I just bought the best I could do was around 7% under Biden. The price of insurance has skyrocketed, the price of gas is way up, the price of food is way up, etc......

I hear that stuff every year. It’s a throw away vote..

That 3.4 percent inflation rate..no f’n way. That’s way off.
 
I mean, it is a throw away vote. The Libertarians nominated someone that doesn't even follow their values or principles, RFK couldn't run in the Dem primary so he's a 3rd party but is basically a Democrat. Until such a time that a 3rd party builds the grassroots level support and success required to break into a true 3rd party with a real unified platform capable of offering true alternatives to the other 2 parties it's throwing away a critical vote.
 
That 3.4 percent inflation rate..no f’n way. That’s way off.
it because it compounded. That is just this year. it like 15-20% plus over the last 4. Funny thing is people will still vote for Harris even thou her/Biden policies are insane. The Media and the leftist politicians are great revisionist and defecting any negative stories involving their own. Plus top notch at spinning ever angel possible to put Trump in a negative light ,was almost assassinated and the media and government and the way they handled it and reported on it is straight out of a dictators playbook. and their constituents eat up every word of it. Example the whole Russian collusion. I still have co-workers that think it true still to this day.
 
Tolerance is a good thing, imo. But there are lines.

This country has seemed to tolerate immorality because they’re scared of being intolerant. I don’t think that Dems/the left agree with a lot of the sht that goes on (puberty blockers before 10, pornography in school, releasing everyone from serious crimes, massive illegal immigration, abortion at 8 months, drag shows for kids, naked parades with sex acts in front of kids, endless wars, etc, etc, etc). The right is very against all that (so am I, but I’m not a righty) … the fringe whacky far left loves it all … but by not admonishing it loudly like the right has, the left “embraces” those evil ideas, even though many don’t agree with them. And that’s for a fear of being intolerant, a fear of being labeled -ist … and to me that is being mentally and morally weak, it’s being a robot, it’s not being able to think for yourself…

I’m in the middle, a little left on some things, a little right on some things. But the sheer immorality (especially with kids) of the far left … I could never, ever vote left with things like this. But that’s why when I’ve voted, it’s been Indy.

And the newest entry, she’s awful. Absolutely awful. I cannot believe there aren’t more qualified people on the ticket.

They all suck.
