The Democrats are going to have a full-scale meltdown over this. Biden gave the presidency to Trump, and now he's giving him the moral authority to do anything he wants while in office. I couldn't have asked for a better finale to the Biden show.

Romania just cancelled its Presidential election. Calin Georgescu was up around 30% in the polls. Apparently, he favors de-escalation of the conflict with Russia and has a bit of an anti-globalism position. Ukraine cancelled its election. South Korea had its attempted coup, French government is in crisis, UK and Germany aren't far behind. I thought we were all about promoting, and in some cases imposing, "democracy". What are the odds the USA has anything to say as watch yet another one of our allies move toward tyranny as the obviously corrupt government attempts to cling to power in spite of the will of the people? Bad people are leading good nations. I keep saying it... they are the real threat. https://x.com/james_freeman__/status/1865180136720523344

Y'all sound like the board of every major corporation in America today looking for a CEO. We want someone who's really going to shake things up, take this company out of its rut and into the future as the leader in our field! Ooh, that guy, no he's a little bit too controversial for us. Besides we want someone with more experience in this type of company. Let's go with established-safe-guy-in-a-suit. Fast forward a couple years I don't understand, why is our company still stuck unable to innovate or change direction?

Are you ok, dude? That's a high grade crazy kind of claim. Global thermonuclear war isn't in anyone's best interest.

Agreed. And let's stop calling people experts. If a given field has knowledge sufficient to require expertise, then it has a title that already conveys expertise: doctor, counselor, captain, engineer, etc. That word has caused an awful lot of mischief over the past decade. Time to retire it.

I did some digging, found this clip of Blinken accusing Russia of interfering in the election. One day later, the election is cancelled. Such bullshit.

I had two Hellcats and traded one in last year on a 365X and plan to do the same with the other one soon. Both the Hellcats shot well and were reliable, no malfunctions that I can remember. My issues with them are mostly nit picks and personal preference. The first, and most annoying to me is the placement of the slide released lever, it’s too far back for my grip and the slide would almost never lock back when empty unless I consciously focused on loosening my right thumb a bit. I don’t have this issue with the 365X. Second, I don’t like the U Notch rear sight. It works, just not my preference. I’m faster and more accurate with the standard 365X sights. My previous carry was a Ruger LC9S Pro and both these guns are leaps and bounds better, so it’s really down to personal preferences. My main full size 9s are P320 Carry’s, so I appreciate the similarities across the Sigs. Planning to get a 365 Macro at some point too.

I was gonna say the better comparison would be the jackasses stateside telling us that war over there wasn’t our problem and what Germany was doing wasn’t really that bad. Luckily some of our grandfathers didn’t gargle Reddit level stupid coming out of a coordinated IA campaign. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Agree with some of what you said (especially about Fauci), but I take great execption to the "shut up and color" for the military part. While you surrender many of your civil rights when you take the oath, becoming a guinea pig is not in the fine print. Under the blanket of military readiness this mandate was employed and the science was not settled (as a lot of voices tried to say but were silenced). When you peel back the facts it was just as flawed as other times when this happened: 1. Secret World War II Chemical Experiments Tested Troops By Race. 2. Veterans Used In Secret Experiments Sue Military For Answers 3. Forcing troops to sit in exposure zones during nuclear testing. 4. Edgewood Arsenal human experiments 5. LSD experiments by the United States Army Through the years under the banner of "military readiness" US troops have been purposely exposed to radiation, chemical weapons, biological weapons and have been given LSD, simply unsat in a free society.
