The media will try to make Kamala the new Obama 2008, but there are factors working against them that they can't fix. Such as: In 2008, people were exhausted by Bush in general, Iraq in particular, and Republicans sort of got swept up in that all around, especially once the housing bubble broke. Obama was a blank slate with speeches that the media held up as JFK meets MLK. He preached hope and change and not much else, policy wise, and he went up against John McCain who basically campaigned with the message "if you vote for me, that's nice and all, but that Obama guy really is something, isn't he?" Kamala is the incumbent VP. She is saddled with the failures of the past four years and none of her empty promises will ring true to people who have to deal with high prices of everything. If Trump can stay on message, he will win. Kamala might help if she gets too many chances to talk off the cuff, but otherwise, hit the message and don't let up.

I suspect that the parents know a whole lot more about their kid and his plans than we are being told. That's why they deemed this a domestic terrorist crime. If someone is convicted of helping him in any way they can get 30 years in prison. They did that to make this guy keep his mouth shut.

The only way to protect a republican, conservative or anyone not a prog is to start arresting and charging these mentally ill people. If you won’t recognize that they are mentally ill, some needing more than treatment/medication, needing lifetime mental health incarceration this will continue to happen. I might add protecting school children from a mentally ill tranny in Nashville TN. As we all know it’s not the gun, knife, bomb or car/truck that commits murder it’s the mentally ill or evil person. I still struggle on how you can differentiate between the two.

22 What’s an AR -15 ‘styled’ rifle ?
Posted by: polynikes If you want to split hairs. Technically, the adjustable stock, etc. make it more an M4gery after the technical package of adjustments to the M-16 A2 into a short barrel carbine with an adjustable stock and removing the carry handle completely from the older AR designs. In part, it was to make the original AR design more suitable for urban combat and to ease getting in and out of transport with minimal effects on its short range lethality. Has some issues due to changes in the original design and since this is not a gun thread, not worthy of further discussion. Posted by: whig at July 25, 2024 12:37 PM (qdbNv) 97

The media loves sharing that 2021 photo of Crooks because he's wearing a shirt with an American flag motif, thus they can insinuate SEEEEEE HE'S AN EVIL REICHWINGER and pretend that the decades of cultural rot and smart phone/social media contagion and non stop for nearly a decade propaganda that Orange Man was the baddest, most evil man who must be killed is NOT the motivating factor of the assassination attempt.

The "sale" might also be b/c if dad "sold" it awhile ago, he's off the hook completely for its care and use. If it was still dad's going into the rally shooting, questions could be asked on why dad lent him the gun (b/c that was the initial story - that dad lent it to him)...and dad could be criminally and civilly liable...

I'm increasingly fascinated that Obama hasn't endorsed Kamala yet.
A theory, which I find plausible, that Obama forced Biden out, probably through blackmail. Obama intended to then use a "mini-primary" to hand-pick his preferred candidate, but Biden decided to screw Obama by immediately endorsing Kamala, which he wasn't supposed to do. Biden, and the people around Biden, want Kamala to lose, and lose big, because that shows that the people who forced Biden out of the race were idiots, and they should have kept Biden as the candidate. This implies that Biden will use any opportunity to "inadvertently" sabotage Kamala's campaign. Moar popcorn! Posted by: The ARC of History! at July 25, 2024 12:45 PM (u6/wt) 144

What’s an AR -15 ‘styled’ rifle ?
Posted by: polynikes at July 25, 2024 12:26 PM (B1dzx) A totally black-colored weapon of war specifically-designed to evaporate children by firing hypersonic hollow-point dum-dum cartridges. It carries 100 bullets in a detachable clip. It has a hand grip like a pistol's that enables its redneck owners who buy them by the dozens through the gun show loophole to fire a million bullets per second. The very-most-lethal models have a folding stock along with a bayonet lug, allowing the fastest-possible killing of children. It is completely useless for hunting deer or any other wild animals.

Even with inflation, perhaps because of it and prices not catching up, we are still in the golden age of cheap AR's. A cheap AR 15 years ago was a total piece of shit.

Let's talk about Chip Roy's question to Wray, where he asked if any FBI employees displayed disappointment that the gun shot missed the former president.
Apparently, there were a few who responded in that fashion. They weren't fired. They were referred to the internal investigative process of the FBI.

It seems to sound like the officer who was supposed to be on the roof had come down because it was hot up there and to look for a suspicious character (Crooks) seen near the building, whereupon Crooks used a ladder he brought with him to go up to an empty roof.
From there, I surmise that the rest of the security staff (drawn from multiple organizations) probably thought Crooks was the person assigned to cover the roof (explains why nobody got concerned that people were pointing to a guy on the roof and the reaction of the sharpshooter visible behind Trump) ... until he started shooting at the stage where Trump was speaking.

A head shot would be lethal, yes. However, even at 130 yards, the head is a hard target to hit. Hitting PDT in the body with 5.56 at 130 yards, decent chance it's not lethal, unlike, say, .308, which will pretty much destroy the chest cavity with the right round.

Posted by: Pudinhead at July 25, 2024 01:00 PM (n17eQ)" Drop isn't relevant for any centerfire rifle caliber at that distance. 130 yards is well within point blank envelope for 5.56 and at that range it will have more speed and thus less drop than larger calibers - the 5.56 will run out of steam farther on due to being lighter - until you get into stupidly big stuff.

216 Not sure if this has been mentioned yet, but media (Newsweek and others) now running with "Donald Trump might not have been shot after all." Citing Wray said it was not clear if he was shot or "hit by shrapnel".
Because of course they are. Posted by: DaisyB at July 25, 2024 12:53 PM (AbL8c) They'd love to say the scumbag wanted to kill someone in the crowd, not Trump. Then they'll say Trump is no hero or potential martyr, just another bystander who happened to be nicked by shard of a bleacher handrail or bench that one of the shooter's bullets hit. A bullet aimed 50 feet away from Trump. Then they'll ridicule him for falling to the stage floor and cowering under a pile of ultra-brave SS agents, when he was in no danger at all.

Posted by: blake Dem (or GOP) party leaders in Congress 'allow' defectors in order to keep those seats in an ensuing election. Enrages the party activists but that is the sort of log rolling that party leaders are expected to do. We get pissed when GOP members in leftist states defect too. Our problem is like McCain, they defect when the matter is important and likely to pass---the Dems do it on do nothing resolutions, bills headed for no where, etc. When the chips are down and the stakes are important, there always seems to be Arlen Spectors on the GOP side and Dems that walk the plank to support idiocy (Manchin is a perfect example as is Sinema).

What’s an AR -15 ‘styled’ rifle ?
Posted by: polynikes 'Colt's Manufacturing Company holds the trademark for the AR-15 name, and is the only manufacturer that can legally label their firearms as such. ArmaLite originally sold the patent and trademarks for the AR-15 to Colt'. 'AR-15' is a trademark, like Lego or Kleenex. If another company makes that design of rifle they can't call it an AR-15. So a brand other than Colt can be described as an 'AR-15 styled rifle'. Posted by: LenNeal at July 25, 2024 01:09 PM (bFId9) 353

I was influenced by Amity Schlaes bio.
Posted by: LinusVanPelt ========= Amity is not the final word because she is a polemicist. To some degree she benefits from the paucity of biographies on Silent Cal. If you care to dig it up, Chase Bank's chief economist account who had a ringside seat at the time and even Hoover was not responsible nor was Smoot Hawley. Essentially, the international crisis was building due to international monetary flows freezing up--a crude summary is that the Germans got loans to pay reparations to France and UK which in turn had to pay war loans back to the US. The domestic crisis in the US is that rural electrification, radio broadcasting, and other up and coming industries had speculative market valuation far in excess of their actual income (like tech today for example). That sort of thing happens when people are desperate for a quick buck and they use debt as a leverage to make money through buying on margin, etc. Then, the Fed screwed the pooch after Black October by raising interest rates and reserve requirements which froze normal credit markets which then affected Main Street businesses.

Silent Cal has his own mess. He knew that the market bubble was building in 1928 and did little or nothing to stop it because he viewed it as beyond his purview.
By and large he was a good president in his term but left office before the market crash in 1929 came seven months into Hoover's term. Sort of like how Billy Jeff enabled 9/11 by doing nothing about bin Ladin. Posted by: whig at July 25, 2024 01:03 PM (qdbNv) The market crash may have sorted itself out far faster if there had not been all the aid to the banks and big business to try to reduce their losses. The 1929 crash was due to a number of things, a lot of which had to do with far too much money and credit creating a business cycle. Hoover and FDR trying to fix it all made it deeper and longer. I actually got some info on the boom of agriculture productivity, there is indication that American Ag underwent booms in production due to Federal loans for equipment and land improvement to combat the slump post WWI. This would have created a market glut at the time the business cycle collapsed, and the moves to destroy food and restrict production by udoing the supply side of the business cycle Posted by: Kindltot at July 25, 2024 01:18 PM (D7oie) 428

Coolidge was no longer President in October of 1929...
Posted by: jim (in Kalifornia) ===== Who appointed most of the governors of the Fed board at that time? It was not Hoover but Harding and Coolidge. For the most part, the old economists believed in burning all the rottenness out of the economy (see Andrew Mellon) was the way to recover and the way to end speculation was to raise interest rates and curb bank lending. Did not work and that is the problem sometimes---a truly laissez faire approach resulted in what were called panics before the Fed existed. The severe contraction post WWI resulted from a collapse in foreign markets for the US and a domestic collapse in war demand from Uncle Sam. As the economy shifted back to more normality by ending war production, Harding benefitted over the Dems and it was relatively short lived. The Fed did nothing much during that crash. But, post 1929, they did and they screwed the pooch. I happen to like Silent Cal and for the most part he was a decent president as Harding really was (apart from Albert Falls as Sec. of Interior). But neither Cal or Harding did anything to prevent the market crash of 29 from coming. Posted by: whig at July 25, 2024 01:28 PM (qdbNv) 465

The fact that nobody in Homeland Security, FBI, and SS is speaking to anyone means that they are covering up and almost certainly involved. When it shows how good they are information flows like a geyser.
Even the most incompetent to sabotaged "defense" can't count on someone with a rife moseying up to the gap in the defenses. Therefore, they knew an assassin was coming. Posted by: Oldcat at July 25, 2024 01:36 PM (eoQWY) 474

I'm curious why the media keeps running the picture of Crooks from middle school rather than more recent ones. A similar thing happened with pics of Trayvon Martin, although I understood why the media did that with Martin.
Posted by: Citizen Cake I brought that up last week. Crooks was a Freshman and approx. 4-15 years old in the picture. Crooks was a 20 year old when this incident happened but no recent pictures within even the last year? The gaslighting continues. Posted by: Cheri at July 25, 2024 12:34 PM (oiNtH) School Yearbooks should be available for every year till senior, just a couple of years ago. Posted by: Oldcat at July 25, 2024 01:39 PM (eoQWY) 477
Jackson was right.
Posted by: Braenyard Jackson was also fortunate enough not to be in office when his VP Martin van Buren inherited a severe economic contraction after the Second Bank of the US lost its charter in 1836 due to Jackson's veto. That probably cost van Buren reelection in 1840 along with definitely being a slippery political operative type from NY. Van Buren is more or less responsible for the mass party system in the US to get Jackson elected in 1828. Van Buren picked the majority faction in states to make deals with on federal patronage when Jackson was running which is in part why the spoils system originated.

I call an opportunist when I see one. When he actually does something that might change that view, I'll let you know.
Posted by: Nova Local at July 25, 2024 01:13 PM (exHjb) what can be asserted without evidence can also be dismissed without evidence I am not saying you are wrong, I just want a reason to go along with you, or at least make up my own mind. I will point out this also describes Kamalol to a "T", as well as quite a number of other politicians, some of whom we both have voted for. Posted by: Kindltot at July 25, 2024 01:40 PM (D7oie) 479
My theory now is that it was Crooks' aim that resulted in multiple people in the crowd getting hit, and a 2nd experienced shooter who grazed Trump's ear with a missed headshot.
Posted by: Chairman LMAO at July 25, 2024 12:53 PM (2xB3Z) first shot was on, second and third were missed because Trump was following training and ducking, and the last five were frustrated hail marys like any first-person shooter gamer would do. You know, because you can respawn. Posted by: Kindltot at July 25, 2024 12:56 PM (D7oie) 8 shots. Anyone on the countersniper team should be arrested and jailed. They had to have a stand down order. And the one in all the pictures watching the guy for minutes took ZERO shots? Posted by: Oldcat at July 25, 2024 01:42 PM (eoQWY) 480
When they let him within the perimeter, leave their position on the roof the shooter will use, take pictures of him, turn their backs and now know nothing.

The Fed was there to back up the banks from failing and Hoover was advised not to intervene and allow them to fail. At least that’s the over simplistic summary of what Friedman wrote.
Posted by: polynikes ========== The Fed was created primarily as a way to finance the national government (happened after the severe downturn in Cleveland's second term where Cleveland and his Treasury secretary had to wait literally for whether JP Morgan would bail the national government out. The original decentralized design of the Fed was more to stabilize the country's monetary system from a systemic collapse due to regional imbalances. Soon though, market operations and the reserve requirement by the Fed for member banks ended up making the New York branch first among equals due to NY city being a banking and finance hub. Power then flowed more to the NY branch and the Fed national board as a result during the 20's and the large international flows of capital due to WWI and its repercussions magnified their power.

I'm surprised that the Left would have a problem with couchf*cking.

I loved the stories he tells about her. Re: the 22 guns...he explained that as she was elderly and not moving around very well, she wanted guns within arms reach all over the house in case she needed one. A woman after my own heart.

The fucking left is all reading from the same "our democracy" script.
It was simple. Crooks wanted to kill Trump. He did not have a thought about democracy. Trump ought to be mocking the "our democracy" crowd in every utterance before a mic. It's their code word for single-party despotic rule, no justice for elites and their victim-class sycophants, trials and prison for you. Posted by: Mr Gaga at July 25, 2024 01:49 PM (TJQqd) 487

The Newsweek thing doesn't surprise me. For some reason the progs think it matters whether Trump was singed by a bullet or from shrapnel caused by a bullet and they want to see the medical records. Those records will not answer this question and none can tell us why it matters.
They're lost, and their parents should be very ashamed of them. Posted by: spongeworthy at July 25, 2024 12:38 PM (DWqKI) There's nothing to hit from the direction of fire.

Trying to find other culprits other than Smoot Hawley is a Hobby of those who are passionately anti-freedom. Just like minimum wage proponents race to make excuses when minimum wage hikes cause layoffs and businesses to not hire.
Posted by: Catch Thirty-Thr33 at July 25, 2024 01:20 PM (Nt9p1) If it wasn't smoot-Hawley it would have been something else to trigger it, just saying that it was is like blaming a pebble for a landslide. They way the system had been leveraged to support economies in the depression following wwI, the massive dislocation of capital during and after the war, the political chaos everywhere as the victors played Napoleon with the world made it a disaster waiting to happen. If it hadn't been protective tariffs, (admittedly they were one of the sparks of the Civil war, too) it would have been Weimar reoccupation of Schleswig-Holstein or the Gran Chaco war.

This isn't the first time I've seen all sorts of references to what this kid supposedly had in his car/bike/mini-van.
What is the point of body armor in the car, along with extra ammo/mags? And whatever happened to the storyline about explosives in a car and at his house and him having a detonator on the roof? Typical clusterfuck dumbshit government coverrup. Posted by: ghbucky at July 25, 2024 01:20 PM (/xDbx) I keep hearing different stories about the car/bike/van ladder/no ladder/climbed the AC. And all of these different stories have to be coming from the SS/FBI. So at this point I think they guided him in. Posted by: Oldcat at July 25, 2024 01:54 PM (eoQWY) 492

Fbee eyes say Crook flew a drone...do not say they found and recovered a drone.
Explosive devices were apparently commercial fireworks, in this case "Tools of Terror!" when used on the streets of DC and dozens of other cities, mainly targeted, fired at, or thrown at Police? "No charges filed" , no bail required, or Charges dismissed. Posted by: birdog at July 25, 2024 02:54 PM (lWs+l) 494

I get this - but it wasn't actually Van Buren's fault that Congress, split much like the US is now along the Whig vs Dems party lines, could not get consensus on how to reign in any executive expansion. Jackson was an executive branch expansionist - no doubt about it. But Congress was the weak branch of government, then as now - they just took advantage of it.
