The blurb is real, but not her complete bio.  She worked for the Secret Service for 27 years, then left for PepsiCo, then came back as SS Director.

Got it. Can't always trust what you see on the internet.

We are fubared

They're saying, the shooter was wearing Demolition Ranch shirt. They're going to blame the right for this shooting!

If there really was intelligent life on other planets, we'd be sending them foreign aid.

Conservatives see George Orwell's "1984" as a cautionary tale.  Progressives view it as a "how to" manual.

My wife often says to me, "You are evil and must be destroyed." She may be right.

Liberals believe one should never let reason, logic and facts get in the way of a good emotional argument.

If he was wearing a Biden 2024 shirt and had a communist party ID card in his wallet they would still blame the right

Some levity in the house from this. They just showed a picture of the shooter lying on the roof where he was shot. My wife, who may or may not have some "pumphead*" from her two open heart surgeries mentioned, "That looks like head guts on his body and above his head". Henceforth I will only refer to brain matter as head guts!   :rofl:

I have a feeling this bill will die in committee without any fanfare. It should actually be shouted far and wide so people will know how some Dems actually feel about D Trump.

Closer view of Trump's ear.
Look like a hole in the upper left part of the ear? Hard to tell.

It is better than the twitter posts WLJ shared.  I would rather see the predictions now before the media or politicians actually do it.  It is what the Babylon Bee does.  Besides, some people react to situations like this with humor and I don't have an issue with that.

I heard a few people say some ammunition websites crashed due to people going to order ammo.  Have any of you heard this?

^^^^

She has nuked her Twitter and I bet her phone is not picking up and her email is being filtered I don't know, she is Canadian and probably tenured. She isn't going anywhere.

A quick scan of reddit this morning indicates the entire site needs to be nuked from orbit.

As to the shooter's politics and being "registered Republican", I saw this on Fox News (bolding mine):

Quote
Crooks was a registered Republican, according to voting records, but had only participated in the Nov. 8, 2022, state election due to his age.

I guarantee you this guy is the same as the whackadoodle far lefty nutjobs in Idaho who all register Republican so they can vote in state Republican primaries to try and get RINOs on the ballot. That same article mentioned that he gave a small donation to a progressive organization. I'll go with him putting his money where his mouth is rather than how he registered to vote. Anyway, he looks like a long haired hippie vegan.

WTF kind of job was the Secret Service doing?

I was watching CNN last night with Wolf Blitzer and a panel of people when one of them started decrying the rhetoric coming out of the left, the cover of The Republic showing Trump Hitler, etc.

One of the other guests immediately started in with "Well Trump blah blah blah..."

First guy cut her off and anchored her ass with "WHO'S IN THE HOSPITAL RIGHT NOW?"

Yeah, Trump likes his rhetoric, but when the left, for months, equates him to Hitler and or Putin, cries about how this will be the very last election and if Biden doesn't win it will be a new dictatorship, destruction of democracy, blah blah blah what the *expletive deleted*ck did these aholes expect would happen?

The stupid fat *expletive deleted*ck who represents my district in Congress, Gerry Connolly, has been VERY quiet this whole time. He's usually out front banging the "TRUMP IS A MONSTER!" drum.

This November at our local history conference I'm suspecting I'm going to be getting an award for the work I did on the commission and for the conference over the last 20 years.

Connolly always awards them. If I do get an award, and he's presenting, I'm refusing it.

Seeing some attributing a last second turn of Trump head with saving his life and that if he's hadn't the bullet would have blow off the back of his head. Looking at the videos I'm on the fence on that. May do a closer examination of the video after I get coffee in me.
