It was a DPMS A-15. He could gave bought a nicer barrel than what comes stock, but I doubt it.

Nobody is a good enough shooter with a cheapo AR to reliably hit an ear at that range. It’s probably a 2-3MOA barrel at 100 meters, so you’re looking at like a 2.5-4" spread with the world’s best marksman and match-grade ammo.

120 meters is easy against a paper target with low stress. Someone making a speech moves their head more than you think.

That being said, I think the poster is saying that it’s an impossible shot f they were aiming for the ear.

However, faking the ear injury would be easy, and shooting a bystander in the audience is a bonus.

He had nephew he had been the legal guardian of he cut contact with when was 19 and Harlan Crowe stopped paying for his tuition.

He’s literally an Uncle Tom.

Honestly, I’d be somewhat relieved if there were a supernatural explanation for how they were tricked into supporting Trump. Because Christ made a very clear list on how people would be judged in Matthew 25 31-46 (“The Judgement of the Nations”)

1. Treatment of the poor

2. Treatment of the sick

3.Treatment of the foreigner

4. Treatment of the imprisoned

This nation isn’t doing great by that measurement.

The antichrist is supposed to trick Christians into supporting him, so that tracks.

He’s also supposed to survive an assassination attempt with a headwound.

They’ve murdered the planet and they’re trying to buy the survival of their descendants. They’re perfectly okay letting everyone else die and for their companies to collapse, so long as they get their place in the bunker/spaceship/whatever.

Orban absolutely rigged the system against voting out of their situation. And they’re not there yet, either. This vote was the first step, but they’ve overcome a huge hurdle.

Honestly, it’s especially troubling with a cease fire. The lesson taken from there is that openly threatening the mass-murder of civilians is a legitimate strategy.

Congress can and should have her ass dragged in there by force if she refuses to appear.

He wants Trump to die January 21, 2027.

If you’re setting up a joint service for the holiday, which do you pick? The one that has restrictions limiting the participation of most people, or the one that allows anyone to participate fully?

You just specifically described how they aren’t allowed to take part in the Eucharist. Most Protestant services have an open table, where anybody can take part in the sacrament.

Fuck Heslgsetu with a hot poker and all, but this is not as bad as it sounds.

It’s just saying there’s only 1 Christian service for Good Friday, and it’s Protestant. The reason for that is probably because Catholic Mass is less inclusive than Protestant. For instance: you have to been through Catholic Confirmation to take part in Communion in a Catholic Mass, whereas Protestant churches typically have open communion allowing anyone - including Catholics - to take part.

It’s been really weird coming to terms with th3 fact that I actively want him to die. I’ve never hoped for anyone’s death ever. It’s s a weird, scary feeling that I hope dies with him.

Soon.

Anyone saying he plays 3D chess needs to understand that’s a stupid thing to do when the game is checkers.

Jokes on them. I make above median income and I’ll never be able to afford kids.

I’ve had to one water rescue in a lake, and it sucked. The water was in the 50s and it was about 30 degrees outside. I can’t imagine doing one in Chicago.

And in my case the rescue wasn’t that difficult. I’m a scuba instructor at a university and we were doing a big dive weekend at the end of the Fall semester, and any time we have a bunch of people in the water, we like to leave one instructor on the surface to organize and be in charge of everything. A group came up yelling for help.

I ran into the water and swam out to meet them and tow in the victim while having my divemasters prep the aid station and assemble the O2 kits, and the guy was barely conscious and turning blue.

As I stripped his gear off, I noticed he was wearing a semi-dry wetsuit that was REALLY tight. I cut relief slits in the suit with my shears and by the time I’d dragged him out of the water he was fully awake and color had returned. Turns out he’d found the suit on Craigslist really cheap and insisted on using it even though it was too small, and between that and the colder water down deep his circulation had been restricted.

But even with that fairly easy rescue (the same suit that caused the problem also made him supper floaty), the cold air and water made it exhausting. I can’t imagine doing a much more difficult rescue in Chicago water.

A current example is states invalidating all Trans people’s IDs during a primary election. That’s happening right now.

Also - getting an ID is expensive and time consuming in the US. The cliche of spending 4 hours in line at the DMV to get a license even though you made an appointment ahead of time isn’t an exaggeration, and applies to getting an ID as well. The reality is most people won’t spend the time and money to do it just so they can vote every 2 or 4 years - especially people who can’t afford to take a day off work and travel to do it.

But people will do it so they can drive their car every day - so people with IDs are more likely to have more money.

And for people who have driver’s licenses that fall on hard times it’s also a problem, because they stop paying for insurance (invalidates driver’s license), lose their car (keeps them from paying for insurance or renewing license), or even lose their home (address change invalidates license). These are not people who can take a day to go pay to vote. And that’s exactly what they’d be doing, because the new ID card they’d be buying would strictly be for voting. Aside from the cost of the ID, when I updated my DL in June I had to travel 80 miles round trip, and the process took about 7 hours - and I had a car to speed things up.

So it’s effectively pay-to-vote system that only applies to poor people. People with money can vote for free through “motor voter” registration by checking a box when getting or renewing their driver’s license.

Was hoping to open the article and find out that it was an exaggerated clickbait headline and he was just doing laundry.

I should never hope when it comes to Republicans.
