In any comparison between Biden and Trump, Biden is the alpha. Biden stood up to Putin. Biden got legislation passed that Trump wanted like infrastructure, because he’s not incompetent, he’s knows how or get things done. Trump torched the economy; Biden saved it. Trump cost us thousands of lives, Biden has saved thousands of lives. World leaders look up to Biden and respect him; they laugh at Trump. 

These are all facts. The evidence is overwhelming. I’m sorry most of you live in a fantasy world of your own making but hopefully you’ll wake up before it’s too late for you. 

Man you look foolish. Your party is a joke.

Too bad that the infrastructure did not prioritize reinforcing damns in Wisconsin, Minnesota, and now Illinois.  That said, it is a big country with lots of infrastructure in need of maintenance and repair.  Tough to get to it all at once.  Still, maybe maintenance and repair should have preceeded installation of a handful of charging stations.

 

Me, as for the economy, well inflation was crushing but is subsiding and the markets have me happy, at least for now.

I saw trump on the news still sporting his obvious bandage.  I spoke to a doctor friend of mine who posits that Trumps wound likely recieved two to three stiches and could be covered with your basic band aid brand bandage.  I think he is overplaying this a bit.  A close call, certainly.  A serious wound, not from the visual evidence.

My Jr. High School had a two week hunters safety and firearms safety course over the Christmas break.  10 days, two hours a day including live firing of .22 calibers and 20 gauges.  If you passed you were certified to hunt at 14 without adult supervision.  They also had a rifle team.  I was taught much earlier by my Grandfather and Father.  Still, no competency training like the military where you can burn through a lot of rounds.  Practice makes perfect.

I wish they still did things like that. I took hunter safety course when was 14 I think. I had already been shooting guns and hunting for years though. It doesn’t seem as common as it use to. I think survival courses would be nice to have as well. People should know how to be self sufficient.

Even a vacant-eyed drooling guy, who wears a loaded diaper, and is slowly led around everywhere by clutching his wife's hand has significantly more testosterone than the average Democrat, simply because he retains the ability to figure out what a woman is by sniffing her hair.

this has all the markings of an inside job.   head of S. service says consideration has to be taken regarding rooftops in the safety of agents somehow excusing why nobody was guarding the roof.  Of course this is true but in this case it is complete bull.  Pitch of the roof the shooter is on is about a 2/12, which is as close to flat as can be.  Also ANY reasonable person looking at the surroundings will conclude the shooters roof is the most likely place for an assassination. 130 yards away!

Did you not notice how money flooded into NATO from slacker nations because if Trump or did you know that but fail to mention it on purpose?

That would be hardly none, because that's not how NATO works. 

Trump has long claimed that various NATO members have failed to pay their “bills,” “dues” or “NATO fees,” that they “owe us a tremendous amount of money” or that they “owe NATO billions of dollars.”

Facts First: All of these Trump claims are false. While a majority of NATO members do not meet the alliance’s target of each member spending a minimum of 2% of gross domestic product on defense, the 2% target is a “guideline” that does not create bills, debts or legal obligations if it is not met. In fact, the guideline doesn’t require payments to NATO or the US at all. Rather, it simply requires each country to spend on their own defense programs.

When Trump was president, the guideline was written in forgiving language that made clear that it was not a firm commitment. That version of the guideline, created at a NATO summit in Wales in 2014, said members that had yet to reach 2% would “aim to move towards the 2% guideline within a decade with a view to meeting their NATO Capability Targets and filling NATO’s capability shortfalls.” In other words, the members that were below 2% in 2014 didn’t even have to promise to hit the target by 2024 – simply to make an effort to do so by then.

NATO does require members to make direct contributions to fund the organization’s own operations. But there is no sign that members have failed to make those contributions, which constitute a tiny fraction of the allies’ defense spending, and Trump has made clear that his talk of debts is about the 2% guideline.

[Sean Mooney 1,983]

I was out most of the day yesterday so I may have missed this in the thread- so apologies if it has already been mentioned.

Morning Joe yesterday had on a former Secret Service member and a reporter who worked with the Secret Service in the White House at one point (like an embedded type series). They were talking about some of the stuff as it related to the shooting on Saturday.

1.) The Secret Service was working with the local police force to help lock down some areas (common practice apparently). 

2.) The building the kid was on had local cops inside the building as a means of securing the building. They did include the building in their security plans but because it was 150 yards outside the venue they felt it clear.

3.) Additionally, the building had a sloped roof and it was determined that it would not be safe and/or feasible to have a person stationed on it- both from a standing practice and from a strategic vantage point. So the communication with the local cops led to the building having a police presence inside but not on top. (Again mentioned as not uncommon practice from them)

4.) Joe then did question the training of the Secret Service members as after Trump was shot there was communication that the shooter was down but that there still could have been a second or third shooter stationed somewhere and thus leaving Trump's head exposed for like 10 seconds was highly dangerous, not the mention letting him be exposed en route to the car (when you look at the video and pictures you can see that Trump's head for a lot of the time is above the Secret Service members heads.

5.) The former Secret Service guy discussed that the mission of the SS is to essentially manhandle the person they are protecting to physically make them keep their head down and stay hidden as best they can. He is unsure if the guys were trained on that correctly or if they defer to Trump too much (he did mention as you are around these people constantly you can get chummy with them and sometimes to a detriment).

It was a fascinating 10-15 minute segment on the show to hear. 

Also, I saw on Mediaite  a clip from CNN where they put together an interesting video that syncs up the video of the Trump shooting with the footage from social media and outlines the one minute and 57 seconds that occurred from the time the crowd first noticed the gunman to the shooting.
