Gun Thread: Gunz, Food And Semi-Open Thread to Discuss Democrat Party Chaos Edition!
A: Why yes, yes I are on vacation! Another short one this week, guys and gals. As I alluded to in the title above, I am on a sooper sekrit mission to an undisclosed location on the North Carolina coast where we're meeting an old friend for a week. The plan is for the girls to go sightseeing and shopping during the day, leaving FSJ and me to guard the house, smoke cigars, enjoy dog treats, and otherwise goof-off. Insightful Weasel Political Commentary and Analysis on Biden Campaign Developments
Hahahahahahahahahaha! Suck it, Dems! Kinda crapped in your mess kit, didn't you? P.S. You can even talk about food if you like! With that, step into the dojo and let's get to the gun stuff below, shall we?
FUNdamentals
Did you think I forgot the fundamentals? Did you? I'd like to hear if you have adopted even a teensy part of WeaselDoctrine and if you have, what sort of results you are seeing. A Navy SEAL. Note giant watch - pay special attention to this guy.
Guns of The Horde Another bigly excellent submission by out pal Ed L, this week on the Colt Model 1909 Revolver
Colt Model 1909 Revolver By 1905, the US Army committed itself to the path that led to the M1911 and the newly introduced .45 Automatic Colt Pistol (ACP) round. But even with the genius of John Browning and the engineers at Colt, that path took much longer than US Army Ordinance wanted. Fighting with the Moros in the Philippines demonstrated that the US Army badly needed a more modern .45 caliber sidearm than the Colt Single Action Army revolvers dragged out of retirement. Delays in development pushed US Army Ordinance to procure Colt New Service revolvers. In December 1908, US Army Ordinance ordered 6,000 Colt New Service Revolvers as an interim weapon until the new semiautomatic pistol was ready to enter service. Since the New Service was already in production for the commercial market, US Army Ordinance simply ordered revolvers right off the production line with relatively small changes. In all, the US Army took delivery of 19,503 revolvers. 19,153 were shipped to the Manila Ordinance Depot, where they were issued to troops in the field. The remaining 350 were shipped to Springfield Armory, MA. The USN took delivery of 1,000 revolvers. The USMC received 1,300. It's known that one of the Springfield Armory revolvers took part in the November 1910 pistol trials between the Colt and Savage prototypes as a control.
The stylized circular monogram with the letters "WGP" on the right side of the revolver beneath the rear sight are the initials of Major Walter G. Penfield, the military "Inspector of Ordinance" assigned to Colt. Since Major Penfield took over this position on January 2, 1911, his final acceptance stamp identifies this revolver as being delivered in 1911. The serial number indicates that Colt delivered this revolver in late winter or spring 1911, as the 1911 pistol trials wrapped up. It's unlikely that Major Penfield was at Colt during this time. From August 1909 through April 1911, Major Penfield served on multiple review boards under board chair Lieutenant Colonel John T. Thompson evaluating and writing reports on the prototype pistols submitted by Colt and Savage for Ordinance testing. Therefore, it's quite likely that his civilian deputy, Rinaldo A. Carr, performed most, if not all, inspection and acceptance functions during this period. His initials, "R.A.C." are stamped on all major components of the revolver, indicating provisional acceptance of the part prior to final assembly. Note the bright "fire blue" finish on the protruding pin contrasting with the finish of the rest of the revolver. The high condition of this example indicates that this pistol did not go to the Philippines or see much action.
Military specific requirements included walnut grips vice the hard rubber of the commercial models, military markings, and the serial number on the bottom of the butt as shown in the photo. The final shipment of Model 1909 revolvers left Colt on September 26, 1911, with the M1911 waiting in the wings. Sources:Thank you so much for this Ed L! I am sure I speak for everyone when I say your efforts are greatly appreciated!

Wish I had something to report but no range time this week. Last week the almost new Holosun green dot on my Glock failed to turn on. I did not have the right size battery so was unable to get it going while Blaster was there to help. I now have proper batteries but have yet to tackle changing old for new. I did get the solar backup to work and actually read the directions so hopefully I will get the ridiculous number of hours I am supposed to get from the new battery.

It's the same therapy as shooting at the range and I don't have to deal with range nazis.
I go to the back ranges so I get left alone. Stay the fuck away from me.
Probably will just hit the sticks next time for a little 4 wheeling added as a bonus.
Shooting wise I hit what I aimed at.
Took the PMR30 and the Beretta 92a1. Shot about 150 rounds.
Fun until joker showed up. I've hated that douche since the 90's. I can never remember his name and he never remembers me. Now he runs the city range, OR claims to.
I don't care I'm not going back.

I am experiencing some cognitive dissonance. Previously, Weasel has expressed some reservations, inching up toward the border of slight disdain, toward watches > 42 or possibly 43 mm in diameter.
And yet here, he is instructing us to pay special attention to this guy, not because of his achievements besting the BUDs Obstacle Course, with obstacles (for example) named "The Belly Buster" and (my personal favorite for aptness of name)"The Dirty Name" , but because of the size of his watch.
Is it possible Weasel might be employing one o' them literary devices, such as English Lit teacher love to expound upon, and torture their students to attempt to recognize?

There are stills and video clips showing that the second window from the right on the second story was open. Go to 1:56 and you'll get some perspective. Notice the trees towards the stage.
At 2:19 there's a cartoon reproduction of where Tweededee and Tweedledum were stationed on their roof while those trees blocked the shooter/roof.
Go to 2:14 and listen to the reporter:
"It's been explained to me that having an officer on the roof might've obstructed the sniper position inside the window of the building."

No.
Sean Davis @seanmdav
Here’s an abbreviated list of extremely basic factual questions about the Trump assassination attempt that for some reason haven’t been definitively answered (anonymous leaks don’t count):
1) What make, model, and caliber of firearm was used, and when/where/by whom was it purchased?
2) What make and model of ammo was used (including the weight of the bullet used)?
3) Did the rifle used have any type of magnified optic or red dot sight on it, and if so, what make/model, and what exact setting was the optic on when the shooter used it?
4) Have authorities put identical rounds through the rifle with the identical optics settings and confirmed both the zero and the result of shots fired at the range at which they were fired on Saturday?

5) How many shell casings were recovered from the crime scene? How many remaining rounds were in the magazine that was found in the rifle?
6) How many rounds were fired by the shooter on the warehouse rooftop? Has each round been accounted for (i.e., do investigators know where each round landed, and does the number of bullets found or accounted for match the number of shell casings found?
7) Have investigators confirmed, via the recovered bullets and the known trajectory of the bullets, that the shooter on the rooftop fired each one?

Have investigators reconstructed the shooter’s precise movements over the past days, weeks, and months? If so, have they put together a list of every person with whom he interacted over that time period, but in person and virtually or online?
9) Have investigators reviewed video surveillance of the shooter at all various locations he recently visited (e.g., gun range, gun dealer, restaurants, traffic cameras, etc.)? If so, have they canvassed and interviewed each person seen with the shooter?
These aren’t difficult questions to answer. These are usually the types of details promptly provided by authorities in the days following shocking, violent events of national importance.
Yet we do not have a single one of these questions definitely answered on the record by an official authority. Not one.
Why the heck not?

The message posted on X was the weirdest statement of this kind that I have ever seen. There's a serious question out there about whether the signature is genuine; apparently it looks like a copy rather than his natural one. There could be a benign reason for that. But at this point one has to ask: did Biden even know what his "signature" was affixed to?

That info would be delivered via regular press briefings where heads of multiple agencies would take turns informing the public on their latest discoveries and actions. Like is done after every dang terror attack, mass shooting, tragedy (train derailment, etc.) or weather event. They're telling us it's different by how they are behaving - hiding from us, hoping it will pass.
Have we had a press conference since the night of the shooting? Has Kim Cheatle faced the press since then, apart for one carefully scripted interview w/a friendly reporter?

Whitmer and Shapiro both want to run for President in 2028. The only way that is possible is Harris losing to Trump in 2024.
Whitmer announced today she will not compete for the 2024 nomination.
Both Pennsylvania and Michigan will be cleaner than the wind driven snow this year. Harris can't win without MI, PA, and WI. Trump will carry them both easily. If (when) there is cheating in those states, it will be in the Senate races.

I took the 1911 and the Sig. I put about 60-70 rounds through the 1911, starting off inconsistent - but on paper, at least - and ended with the last 5 rounds right down Broadway. I *can* do it. Sometimes...
I was going slower than usual, concentrating on a smooth, straight trigger pull and tightening up my bottom 3 fingers (but not TOO tight). But I still do a little better when I speed it up just a tad and don't overthink.
I figured I'd leave on a high note and didn't even take out the Sig.

Also, the people who make the courses seem toenjoy making you mess with your round counts -ie, they say something like 42 rounds in 3 mags however you want. And then the course will have a natural reload point at 18 rounds. To catch all the people with 17 rounders.
With my stock P226 mags at 15, I was getting caught by their setups more often. I will not be beaten by such gamesmanship - I got some 20 round mags.

An assassin thwarted, and the departure of a molding Kartoffel from the campaign - these are events of great joy. Sometimes, when I am pressuring Christoph Waltz to abandon the heretic Tarantino or hurling stones at Angela Merkel to chasten her for not being more like America's Sweetheart, the fetching and comely Doris Day, I find myself thinking that there is hope for the future. (But not Merkel - she knows what she did.) Trump/Vance 2024: it has a ring to it. Is this optimism? Does hope feel like this? I am too German to be sure.

After shooting, I picked up a couple boxes of ammo and got into conversation with the range dudes. 12 gauge shotguns may have been mentioned and next thing I know, they're handing me 3 different ones to handle. Of course, the one that fit my short arms the best was over $1000, which is way more than I can (or want to) put down for a shotty. But I got some good info and it was fun talking to the nice range dudes.

I don't know if this answers that but...
@amuse @amuse
SIMULATION PROVES ONE SHOOTER:
@BillAckman shared a video by @chrismartenson claiming there were two. I believe Martenson is wrong and that Thomas Matthew Crooks was the sole shooter. Here's why:
1. First Three Shots: Crooks took his first three shots from the prone position, with his head and shoulders exposed over the rooftop peak. He aimed carefully, with his first shot hitting the president in the ear. These shots were controlled and disciplined.
2. Next Five Shots: Crooks' next five shots were also from the prone position, but it seemed he pulled back slightly to make his head and shoulders less exposed to the counter-sniper. This would change the sound since the rifle was farther behind the rooftop peak. These shots were taken wildly and without control. [...]
Posted by: andycanuck (wse2C) at July 21, 2024 07:35 PM (wse2C)
The counter-sniper who fired the .50 caliber round that hit Crooks stated that by the time he had him in his sights, he could only see Crooks’ gun scope and the top of his eye and forehead as most of his body was obscured by the top of the roofline.
3. Second Shooter Theory: If there was a second shooter intent on hitting Trump, why would he have fired so wildly? He was never seen by the counter-snipers and was never discovered. Why wouldn't he shoot in a controlled and disciplined manner? It doesn’t add up. Moreover, why was he "allowed" to escape instead of being eliminated to ensure his silence? Convincing people of two shooters wouldn't be any more difficult than convincing them of one.
4. Audio Analysis: Robert C. Maher, a gunfire acoustics expert at Montana State University in Bozeman, analyzed the gunshots. He found that two bursts of shots were fired. Both the first round of three shots and the second of five shots were fired approximately 330 to 390 feet from the C-SPAN microphone Trump was speaking into. This location matched the suspect’s position.
Posted by: andycanuck (wse2C) at July 21, 2024 07:35 PM (wse2C)
There was no significant difference in the sound of the eight shots, suggesting they likely came from the same firearm.
5. Flawed Audio Evidence: Chris Martenson, PhD, relied on audio that showed differences of 30ms. This audio went through multiple rounds of compression on devices with unknown latency, using a mic with directionality (given tonality differences), on a device facing several different directions throughout the clip. iPhones and Android phones use DSPs to process, predict, and filter sounds, focusing on various sources. This reliance on multiple uncontrolled audio sources likely caused the discrepancies.
Based on these points, it’s clear to me that there was only one shooter: Thomas Matthew Crooks.

This celebration of the famed nature documentarian puzzles me. At no point does he contend with the existential despair that is the Wild. We gaze at the beasts and are encouraged to embrace the Meerkats, to honor the African lions, to embrace the frolics of various simians. Yet, where is the blood? Attenborough is a punk who dared not to do that which I did, to face unmoved the idiocy of a Grizzly-loving dweeb who found himself to be ursine fodder.
I go now to watch Jan Pol. Hope - is it that? - arises within me that Tater, the three-legged domestic shorthair, shall feature prominently in the episode. Pol is Dutch, but I overlook that. Critter Fixers is also good.

SiD, at the Chantilly show this weekend, I saw one vendor who had what looked like a bunch of ex-police issue Remington 870 riot guns for $250 each. The old school 870s (i.e. pre-Freedom Group days) are considered quality shotguns. If you can hack the heavy recoil from 00 buckshot, they might fit the bill for you.

One of the famous photos of the assassination attempt was of all the SS agents on top of Trump while he was down on the podium. This photo shows the backside of a male agent, and his jacket was flopped up and over his gun and holster.
The holster was a square box, OTW of course, and what looks like either a Glock or Sig grip sticking out with an extended mag. The holster looks like it's a metal box and seems really unwieldy and difficult to pull a gun out of. Does anyone know what it is?

And then, the next day, I hit the range for the match. I was nervous because I'd shot an 85 the prior match and knew how quickly an 85 could go to 65. Things just go south some times and there isn't much one can do about it.
I shot a 91.
I was absolutely thrilled. I wasn't last and, in fact, was very middle of the pack. But, can I continue my upward trajectory? We shall see.

Then hauled out the truck gun and shot more 9 mm through the S&W FoldingPistol Carbine.Went through way too much 9 mm. But fun.
Then I went back to .308.

Level IV armor will stop 7.62mm X 54R. But it's not concealable, heavy (25+ pounds if you include the carrier), and very exhausting to wear if you lack upper body strength because of the strain it puts on your shoulders. All armor requires you to compromise between protection and mobility.

Then I absolutely sucked with a pistol I shot just fine last time. My working theory is that, unlike the other gun, it had iron sights, and I am way overdue for a new glasses prescription, plus my style has changed to bring the pistol in closer, rather than locking my elbows, so I probably went outside the focal range. Most of what sucked was in the vertical dimension.
Time will tell. What does not change is that I have a great time every time I go shooting.

With a .50 BMG, its like horseshoes, close is good enough. It the round can penetrate an engine block and heavy armor, I'm thinking a thin metal roof is like paper.

Linked in 290. It looks like there's an entry or exit under his right ear, which, if it's an exit, IIRC would mean the round had to come from the trees behind and to the right of the stage.
If it's entry it's the guys in the window.

Danke for the mention. In your nation I was told once, "If you see something, say something." Upon seeing the debate, I was moved to speak, for I had seen something, and the Cosmos seemed to demand that it be placed within a context. How to speak of Biden save as a scarecrow? Not of course, the kindly rustic straw man whom Dorothy would miss most of all, or Patrick McGoohan's Disney-sanctioned Dr. Syn, the Scarecrow, which was bitchin' to a young Werner.
No, a poopy scarecrow whose utterances led to loathing and confusion. Such was the potato that emulated the need for assisted living in that most surreal of moments. We gaze and see one who might have been raised by wolves. Delaware wolves, who are gay and unmotivated.

You're a prince among men, Weasel.
I posted this in the "Trump PAC" thread earlier since we didn't get a food thread today, but I've embellished it some.
This is a lovely "pork spice" recipe we use in our home all the time on pork (loin and chops) and it is absolutely heavenly how the meat tastes using this.
3 parts onion powder
1 part garlic powder
1 part black pepper
1 part celery salt
1 part ground sage
Mix thoroughly in a small bowl, then use a funnel to fill a medium sized spice shaker. (We use a 5" tall shaker with 9 x 1/8" holes in the top.)
Pork loin: Coat the top (fatty side) with the pork spice and cook in the oven.
Pork chops on the grill: Place chops on grill, coat the top sides generously with the pork spice. When you flip the chops over, coat the other side the same as you did before. Add no more spice from this point forward, just cook until done and serve.
Adjust amount of spice you use to your personal taste for future meals.

The buttstock of an 870 can be made an inch or so shorter by any decent gunsmith (or carpenter), and that is likely to take care of the hold and reach issue for you. Police riot guns usually have the shortest legal barrel, so that's on your side. Finally, 12 gauge used to kick like a mule, all the guys said. But there are all sorts of loads now, and you can keep trying lighter ones until it feels right. Best thing? In olden times, a gun like that remained reliable until it was just completely shot out, so a good used one is not likely to be 'touchy.' Newer ones, not so much.

FWIW multiple people reported the 2nd story SS snipers. Two examples were linked above. The second link is a MSM source and they were told directly by the SS: "It's been explained to me that having an officer on the roof might've obstructed the sniper position inside the window of the building."

Do you have any friends with a little property in the country?
You don't need much room at all to safely practice with a shotgun.
I can't remember your area of the country, but if you do it during duck season or pheasant season, no one will even bat an eye.
IMO you should measure the actual distance from your hiding spot in your house to where you would engage a shooter. I suspect it will be much closer than you think. Practice your shotgun at that range.
All three of my daughters easily shot a 12-gauge before they reached 100 lbs. I think the recoil is only a problem when people do not have the buttstock snugged up into their shoulder. New shooters that are too wary to hold the gun snugly DO get popped pretty hard.

Whether you love Trump, hate him, or are in the middle, you pretty much know why he's running and what his vision for America is.
As for Kamala, and frankly for most dems, their only "reason" is to "stop Trump". Kamala has no vision for America and has never articulated any persuasive reason she would run (OTHER than for her own personal power/ego/money.)

The 2 SS teams are behind Trump. One set we see to his right on top of the building behind him. There is another set to his left we do not see in any of the videos. This is the team that took the shooter out.
What is NOT clear is where the two local sniper teams were. Were the people inside the AGR complex on the second floor a sniper team? I also see reported that a local sniper shot at and missed the shooter. That fits the three weapon audio analysis.

Big, big downside of shotguns in the home defense role: muzzle blast and flash. Your typical 12-gauge 00 buckshot load will produce a massive muzzle flash and painfully loud muzzle blast that's only magnified in confined spaces typical of an American home. You may well be deaf and blind after unleashing a rough equivalent of a flash-bang grenade less than two feet from your face. That doesn't portend well if you have to take follow up shots. And you probably won't have time to put on hearing protection in a typical self-defense situation indoors. If firing a shotgun on an indoor range isn't something you'd like to repeat, you might want to consider alternatives like a pistol caliber carbine that's easier on your eyes and ears.

I don't think that means Kamala has better chances than Biden. I think it means the Bulwark are creatures of the Current Leftist Narrative, and that narrative has wanted Biden out for weeks. Now he's out, so they celebrate. Tomorrow they will wake up. If they were normal, they would sit up and say to themselves "Oh no. What have we done. Kamala? Against Trump?"

____________________________________
Three shots taken and made goes down while assists go up. That's natural when you're a team player. You're opening up the floor by pulling out the defense. Once the defense starts laying off her beyond the three point line, she'll switch back. That's what good players with more than one weapon do. I don't enjoy women's basketball. It's junior varsity or worse....but Clark is a smart player, and most of her opponents are not very sharp.

That's my thought, too. But the final round after ten or so seconds pass is still a pretty decent crack, isn't it? I know the suppressed rifle will have a report, but that seems similar to the unsuppressed .223 (assuming that's what the tranny used).
I've only been around a suppressed hunting rifle once and it was surprisingly quiet (to the point where hearing protection wasn't really needed), so I assume the SS would have nicer equipment.
Who knows what kind of rounds they were using and if they were supersonic, though.

That should work. You can literally use anything that can hold a piece of paper as your target holder. (Just nothing with heavy steel that can rebound a close range shot back at you.)
P.S. Sorry to hear about your cousin. I just lost my favorite uncle, and he was a great outdoorsman.
P.P.S. If you are in duck-hunting country, do NOT use steel shot for practice. (Which is what will be on the main shelves at Walmart.) I would start with a box of lighter quail/dove loads until you get very comfortable with your eventual shotgun. Then switch to your home defense rounds. Both should impact at essentially the same point since you will be shooting at very close range.

If you're OK w/ a shotgun as you HD weapon, check out your local range/store to see what they have on offer. If you can locate one nearby, see what a gun show has on offer. If you can, have someone at the range measure your length of pull (i.e. your reach to the foregrip/pump action of the shotgun). That might help you narrow down your search quite a bit based on product dimensions.

Depends greatly on what you can shoot well, and how you're carrying, and what you like. Most any modern .38 Special revolver snub-nose is going to work well for close encounters. So are the micro-compacts in 9mm, or an Officer 1911 (the 3-3.5 inche barrels) in 9mm or .45.
I think most of your compacts are going to be .38, .380, or 9mm. For many people, .45 is a bit sporty from a really compact piece. M&P, S&W, Kimber will be your easy choices if money isn't a limiter. (And Taurus if it is. I like the G3c.)

Clark dribbles past an opposing player who grabs then pulls her right arm.
Caitlin flings her hand off and her hand comes close to the other players face.
Other player pretends she got hit by her eye and ref calls a foul on Caitlin.
Forget that the player committed a foul right in front of the ref when she grabbed Caitlin's arm at the elbow and yanked, Clark got the foul for shaking it off.

Company employee referred to prosecutors for modifying air guns to manufacture air guns with metallic bullets
https://t.co/zCFPiD3IgH
"...According to the Metropolitan Police Department, he is suspected of violating the Weapons Manufacturing Act by modifying an air gun at his home over the course of a year up until around October 2021 to manufacture an air gun capable of firing metal bullets. An examination confirmed that the weapon had lethal power..."

My great uncle had a revolver in .45ACP. It got handed down to an older relative, and I never got a good look at it. He was on a destroyer in WWII, so I doubt it would have been a service weapon. He was a sailor, not police or anything as far as I know.
With these scant clues, what would be the possible makes/models?

I never wore any hearing protection quail hunting as a youth or young adult. I needed to hear my dogs working in the heavy cover, and could guess that when both stopped they were on a covey.
After shooting once or twice on the covey rise, I do not recall any deafness when sending my dogs around to fetch downed birds or getting everyone organized to go hunt up the singles where they went back down.
However, we were always shooting in wide-open spaces. Perhaps that makes all of the difference? (I have never shot a shotgun at an indoor range.)

Last two I saw.
Clark is bringing the ball up the court, opposing player moving backwards straight arms her in her face. No call.
Clark dribbles past an opposing player who grabs then pulls her right arm.
Caitlin flings her hand off and her hand comes close to the other players face.
Other player pretends she got hit by her eye and ref calls a foul on Caitlin.
Forget that the player committed a foul right in front of the ref when she grabbed Caitlin's arm at the elbow and yanked, Clark got the foul for shaking it off.
WTF?

I ran across a burrow in my yard the other day. It is at ground level, going more or less horizontally into a big pile of dirt I dumped there years ago when I built my big shop. Opening of the burrow would accept a baked beans can. I don't think it's a gopher. Might be a weasel. Too small for a fox or a badger, I think. I should get a trail cam.

Ed L and others will have much better advice than I, but a .45 revolver I know (and own, thanks to my late husband Jesse) is a S&W model 1917. There are lots of videos and articles about them. Mine was made for a 1937 Brazilian government contract.

Everyone on the forum is a better home defense expert than I am. I just have lots of shotgun hunting experience.
I think most of the tactical/home defense shotguns are 12 gauge, and are designed for men - because that is their main buying contingent.
Nothing wrong with a quality non-tactical 20-gauge shotgun. Will be lighter for you to carry and aim. Will have less recoil. I think the stopping power would be the same on a bad guy - any significant hit is a stop!

I'm pretty sure that your great uncle had either a Colt or S&W Model 1917 revolver. These revolvers were cranked out by the tens of thousands for WWI, and used widely as secondary weapons in WWII and Korea. It's also possible that your great uncle's revolver was purchased commercially and brought along as a personal sidearm for the war. This was not unheard of in WWII. It's referenced in "Band of Brothers" Episode 1. Lee Marvin got a .45 Government Model (commercial 1911) sent to him by his family prior to his participation in the invasion of the Marianas as part of the USMC. The only way to know for sure is to check the revolver itself and its serial number. Both Colt and S&W have historical records that can tell you when the pistol was made, who it was shipped to, and any other special shipping info if you're willing to send them about $150.

If you go with a 20ga make sure it weighs about the same or you lose the recoil reduction you were talking about.

Thank you! Yes, I think I did share pics of it awhile ago.

I swapped out for Pachmayr grips (no one panic, I kept the wood grips!) and it's much more comfortable for my hands and fun to shoot. I don't shoot it that often because it is special, although it was not pristine when it came into J's possession.

“Major Biden donor John Morgan tells ABC News he won't fundraise for Harris if she's the nominee.

Which is kind of stupid because that range you are better served with a shiv or knife whereas you avoid all the noise except the screaming and yelling for Mama.

That said, their nominee will have all Dem assets working for her/him/it.

I would add Wayne Gretzky to the list as well. Even people who know nothing about hockey know Gretzky. And his career pretty much matched up with the 3 you mentioned, time wise. At least Jordan and Magic.

I think that is far from certain. Harris is absolutely the logical choice but it's clearly not a done deal yet. They just tossed the incumbent president under the bus because they knew he was going to get his diapered covered ass kicked. The party that exists to save our precious democracy just ran a coup against themselves.
The Democrat Party is a collection of broken toys that only have one thing in common, they hate us. But they sure as hell don't love each other and whoever they pick will be disliked by a good part of the party.

Doesn’t matter. Lots of AWFLs were mad that Obama stole Hillary’s candidacy in 2008. Lots (most) progs hated Biden in 2020. Yet still their main goal is defeating Republicans. So they put aside their differences and focus on the prize. Something Republicans don’t do very well.

In The Sum of All Fears, The President survive an attempted assassination aimed at starting a war between US and Russia. After Jack Ryan sorts it out, there's an opera piece played over a montage of US and Russian intelligence personnel tracking down every member of the the conspiracy and killing them.
That piece was played at the end of the RNC after Trump's speech. (2:00 mark)

You can't still believe that Biden got 81 million votes. Unless they are planning on releasing another pandemic and have some way of making everyone forget the price of groceries that happened under the Biden/Harris regime even some Democrats aren't so happy right now.
Yea, it matters. That's why they just tossed the incumbent president. It's always been a myth that just because Democrats cheat they could run a dog turd and win. They have to keep the race plausibly close or the cheating doesn't matter.
