Trump tries out midterms message that focuses on ‘communists’​

Can the administration just focus on jobs and the economy? I hate communists but this message only resonates with boomers, not young people or independents. Young people don't fear communists and in-fact, embrace them because they see them as the solution to the wealth inequality and cost of living crisis currently in America. For these people, capitalism has failed them and they can't buy a house or start their lives. Screaming about Red Scare 2.0 does nothing to motivate the people republicans need to win the midterms. Trump gambled and lost of Iran regarding inflation and now doesn't know or care how to fix it because 'stock market up six gorillion points'. In order for capitalism to succeed, you need to show people that it can produce a life and currently thats not happening when companies outsource fast food jobs and white collar positions to jeets.

At this point we can safely assume that Trump has given up and is just letting Democrats rape MAGA to death for the next century. President Newsom or AOC in 2028 followed by President Mamdani.

Sadly there's a mix of pro-anti online porn across states, which can and will only lead to digital ID in the end for all.
Which means there is no future for this site or any other site where people commonly share wrongthink. We fucking lost. There is nothing we can do to fight back anymore.
 
WAPO's going to run ground for commies, don't worry about that. It's not an easy time to come out with counter-commie/islamic messaging now though for sure. A lot of idiots want to live under islamic communism or what they think it means.

Anyway, I saw this just now:

That's a fine bunch of guns and even some cigs. Not much in pistols has changed for the better at all since then. It also reminds me of why I'm not a fan of CZ-75's because the slide height is so short. It's hard enough for me to get a great grip on the 92f, but that CZ is even worse. Also funny how long it took for Glock to go back to that fingerless grip style. They originally added it due to Clinton-ATF that mandated guns to add points for 'sporting/target shooting' nonsense, but since Gen 5 have finally gone back.

Fucking lmaooo he went full senile in under a year. President Vance can't come soon enough

Yeah, its also the results of Biden importing infinity browns at breakneck speed for 5 years and vote as a hivemind for their Islamic candidates. Trumps migration policy will help in the long term, but he desperately needs a short term solution to pull off the midterms after the Iran war exploded inflation and he still sucked at the jobs market before the war started. Idk why its so hard for the administration to yeet the jeet and ban companies from offshoring jobs. Hiring Americans and paying the more rebalances the social contract, otherwise people will chose socialism, burn the system down and make everyone miserable.

FYI, I don't think Trump is wrong, but he's preaching to a choir. It doesn't motivate anyone to chose republican over democrat or solve any of the problems his admin is facing.

“They’re animals,” the president said on Friday, speaking to Christian conservatives at a convention of the Faith & Freedom Coalition in Washington. “We have to stop this, this horrible thread of cancer that’s permeating our country called communism.”

“They will close your churches in this country,” Trump said. “They will kill your people. And that’s what they’re about.”
All 100% true, and that's with the WAPO trying to make the commies look good. Do you think he's wrong there? If so why?

ETA: Iran's already almost entirely out of the news everyone. Nobody will remember it even happened post labor day. Don't give the American voter any credit, all they're wrapped up about now is algae.

I'm going to post this but to many it'll be like me saying don't ban online porn is some outrage, but:

Oil's heading to an alltime low(last 10+ years) any inflation was temporary, and by november people will probably be bitching about global warming or cooling or something equally stupid.

i have never heard this, can you cite a source?

Here's a good short on why birdshot is best for home defense in an urban area such as an apartment Birdshot is better unless you really fucking hate your neighbors that much.

Also Which birdshot are we talking about 8 birdshot which is very tiny pellets or 4 birdshot.

Bird shot won't kill a person unless you shove that barrel down their throat. There have been hundreds of hunting accidents where people were shot with bird shot from just a few feet away and survived. Human muscle and flesh stop bird shot easily. Dick cheney shot a man in the face with bird shot at 20 feet and the man lived.
Not all birdshot is the same. Number 8 birdshot is used for quail and duck hunting. Number 4 birdshot is used for turkey and even taking care of varmint sized game at times.

Just saying here People acting like you need 12 gauge buckshot for self defense only don't understand getting shot isn't fun. There is also no shame in using a smaller caliber that you can control.

Also can people stop treating Birdshot like its rocksalt if you get shot with rocksalt your going to have a nasty sting and its going to hurt. You get shot with birdshot you're not going to have a good time and probably need an ER trip ASAP.
 
BTW, watch out. Youtube is trying to append that tracking ID now on just regular cut and pastes out of browsers even if the ?is afterwards isn't showing on the browser. Just noticed that a few hours ago, used to only do it with the 'share' link but it's appending to brave plain link copies on and off too.

Also, if you were shot like The Bride in Kill Bill with rock salt you'd be dead anyway. That got a lot of people thinking 'that's a nonlethal option!'. I've never heard of anyone using rocksalt outside of fiction either.

All of this ignores the fact that for home defense the best legal proof is a dead intruder that's bled out well over the threshold.
If you shot someone without the intent to kill them, for one, that's just retarded, and for two, it suggests you shot them for reasons other than stopping them dead because you thought they were a deadly threat.

Why not just intentionally use a less lethal weapon at that point that they sell for this purpose? But even then, if someone is breaking into a house knowing people are likely home, they're non-risk averse and incredibly dangerous and should be put down as quickly as possible. No point putting them through court and risking them getting out and escalating to even worse crimes.

It's not pleasant but if someone breaks into your home when people are clearly there (night time, cars out front if a house, etc) they entered knowing they might have to kill someone. If someone does that they're a deadly threat and need to be shot. If you're going to shoot someone shoot them dead.
Also means they can't whine in court it was just an accident and they dindu nuffin or had their hands up or whatever bullshit they'll come up with.

Fuck i miss the days when pistols weren't just identical fuck ugly boxes with rails. Actually that goes for all guns.
The weirdest thing to me is the red dot on pistol craze. I can get tritium sights and even rails for lights, but absolutely everything now seems to have to have the red dot cuts.

Almost all the new stuff since the P365 is either some high end 2011 or some cookie cutter micro-9.

Preach. Far better shooters than me swear by them but I don't like dot sights, it feels harder to "balance" for me than 3 dot if that makes since. Also I think they look stupid as fuck from the side when held. Obviously that shouldn't matter but to me it does, it just doesn't look like something that will fit smoothly in a holster.

They're fine as an option, and I'd consider one on a home-full size even. But having them on an IWB is something I'll probably never do. Rifles and so on sure.

The silliest to me is putting them on shotguns. Even ghost sights on those are a bit goofy but ok with slugs. I've seen people like hickok45 complain about the tiny internal safeties on revolvers as being unseeming and so on, and frankly I don't mind those. It's not a 'bad thing' to me to use one of those and throw the thing in a glove compartment if you're going to someplace impossible to conceal (metal detector zone or a doctor where you might have to disarm).

I just don't think there's any real scenario where you'd need one for a CCW situation. Most of the ones I've heard that were from non-totally trained barely looked at the sights. I guess if you' have failing vision they might be fine, but again, it seems like a fad. But like rails, gun fads tend be hard to catch on but when they do, they never go away.

KIDS Act will quickly pass both the House and Senate and be signed by Trump. You will be forced to dox yourself, even if you just want to browse Wikipedia.

SCOTUS will uphold birthright citizenship, and America will forever belong to the enemy. Cue thousands of videos of Trump supporters burning or otherwise disposing of their American flags. Tons and tons of Independence Day plans will end up cancelled as the MAGA movement mourns in perpetuity, rotting in despair as a cabal of plucky young tranny communist furries blows their heads off one by one.

OH SAY CAN YOU SEE
 
There's no better feeling than using your AC after a long day in the sun, currently sipping on a cup of hot chocolate as i bask in the GLORIUS winds of my AC, ngl i wept, i wept not just for the lives lost in the earthquakes but also for all those European lives lost in the sweatlocaust.
Lol you have A/C? You, living in the failed state of Venezuela, a country whose most notable export is Old School RuneScape gold, mere days after suffering catastrophic earthquakes, are enjoying luxuries which the European mind cannot conceive of?
How do Europeans keep trudging through the hellish existence they've made for themselves?
 
If all mormon temples replaced that weird angel with a trumpet with Browning I'd have more respect for them.

Except for striker fired semis and revolvers in general there's hard to think of very much in use today that he didn't directly or indirectly invent. Maybe gas operating rifles?

ETA: Nope, even those: Colt-Browning M1895: The world's first successful gas-operated machine gun.
They should start a weapons manufacturing company called Browning of America.
