Seriously, kudos. That one earned a chuckle.
Okay, I'm shitposting with the title, but what if it turned out Putin was under Trump's thumb all along?
it's hard not to read through the wikipedia article and hear the phrase "you will own nothing and you will be happy"...
the smallest number of pellets per shell I've found, when referencing what most people think of as shotgun ammo is nine. Yes, I know, slugs exist, and flechettes are a thing, but let's be honest, when you think of a shotgun, you aren't picturing it firing a single round ball like an eighteenth century musket unless that's what you use regularly in your own personal shotgun.
So let's start with that humble number of nine projectiles and work from there. a preliminary bit of searchfu indicates that a pump-action shotgun (the kind most people are at least passingly familiar with,) with an intentional limiting device, can still hold three shells, and can be manually reloaded on the fly. for those who failed third grade math, or who are communists, nine projectiles per shell times three shells equals twenty-seven projectiles loaded in the weapon already at this bare minimum level.
And that's without considering that a shotgun in this configuration achieves the same result as an actual machine gun firing nine times with a single fucking pull of the trigger.
Not to mention your average shotgun is as dangerous to the user as it is to an intruder in inexperienced hands. I can't count the number of stories I heard as a kid from gun-enthusiast friends and family members about some dumbfuck who, while plinking or hunting, put the butt of the shotgun in the wrong place and broke their goddamn shoulder from the recoil.
I'm not gonna go into accuracy, because I'm a little bit weak on this argument, but I'm going to mention it here in case someone with a little bit more knowledge/experience wants to weigh in.
I hesitate to say this for fear of giving the other side ideas, but it's not a hard scenario to imagine...
Right now, the Trump Train has a full head of steam and a straight stretch of track ahead of it. The indictments are only making him more popular and Democrats are scrambling. Joe Biden is the incumbant, which means unless there's some obvious fuckery, he probably gets the nomination, and even dem voters aren't that stupid, but he's dropping like a stone in the general polls. He may be senile, but he's also stubborn, so unless something major happens, he ain't dropping out.
So, how do you get rid of Joe Biden and discredit Trump all in one swell foop? Three names answer that question:
John Fitzgerald Kennedy
Ray Epps
Gavin Newsom
Picture the scene: Joe Biden and gavin Newsom are on stage at an event(a debate seems the likely scenario), right before the nomination. There's an obvious disagreement on policy between them, but it's amicable enough. All of a sudden, someone screams from the crowd "HE'S GOT A GUN!!" and a man in a MAGA hat pushes his way through the crowd, pulls a gun (gotta give some meat to "conspiracy theorists" to discredit anyone pointing out the fix), and unloads in Joe Biden's direction.
Meanwhile, on-stage, as Biden looks around confusedly or maybe actually tries to protect himself, Gavin Newsom, the "Hero" of this little stage play, fearlessly sprints to the resident's side to protect him, catching a single bullet for his trouble, maybe in his arm or his leg as the crowd fights the would-be 'assassin' to the ground.
Unfortunately, whether due to the stress or the would-be gunman's bullet, Joe Biden doesn't make it, and he bleeds out on the stage as the until now mysteriously absent Secret Service attempt to revive him while they wait for an ambulance to arrive.
Gavin Newsom rises in the polls like a rocket, the hero who was injured trying to protect the president, and his only real rival is painted as the villain who inspired the first successful presidential assassination since kennedy...
If I was half as evil/devious as these people are, that's exactly how I would do it... The only way I see to cut the legs out from under such a scheme is if trump supporters are there with their eyes open, and even that has it's problems...
Also, I haven't seen SOF yet, but I'm guessing some traffickers get their teeth busted in =p
I'm not a christian, but I grew up in a Baptist household, so I have at least a passing understanding of the Bible. Lemme know if I got any wrong.
If I'm understanding the bible correctly;
God Created heaven and Earth, Including Mankind and Angels
God is all-knowing and all-powerful
Relevant to this discussion, God created Lucifer and all the angels who sided with him.
God made Man in His image, and ordered the angels to serve them.
Lucifer, prideful of his own beauty, and envious of God's (at least perceived) favoritism of Man, and of God's position, started a rebellion in heaven and was/will be cast down into the lake of fire(aka Hell).
lucifer later tempted/took the form of the Serpent in the Garden of Eden and tempted Eve to eat of the Tree of Knowledge.
my conclusion: God, with full knowledge of what lucifer would do/become created him and set him on the path that led to his downfall, and to the Sin of Mankind.
Or to put it more simply; God created Sin through his foreknowledge of what Lucifer would become.
I'm not trying to start a shitstorm here, but this is the logical conclusion that I find myself at.
Any Christian pedes wanna poke holes in this for me?
okay, I'mma go full tinfoil hat here, because I'm starting to believe the doppelganger theory, and this photo is the keystone. Look at the shape of joe and james' faces, particularly the jawline and the mouth. While they are certainly similar in many ways, Joe's face has some obvious distinctions from James'.
Now compare older photos/videos of the bidens to modern clips of the "president."
Which Biden does he look more like?
Jokes about him being a clone or an alien in a skinsuit or all that aside, the easiest way to fake biden's "corporeal form" would be with someone who has at least a superficial resemblance to him, like in this case, a brother.
I just noticed the hairline is pretty dissimilar as well. James has a pretty square hairline, while Joe has an obvious Widow's Peak.
the biggest potential hole in this theory for me is that I can't find a clip of James Biden speaking to confirm how similar their voices are, but there does seem to be something here.
Obviously we know that biden got hairplugs at some point, so the hair thing could be incorrect as well, but there does seem to be something to this...
I myself was without power until sunday afternoon, and I live right near the local hospital if that tells you anything. Some people still don't have power.
I literally just got this email from a state congressman informing me about "cooling centers " where residents without power can go to get relief from the heat (it was literally over a hundred degrees yesterday when I got to work if that tells you anything)
Dunno how useful it is, but it's interesting that the story has been basically ignored by the mainstream press that an entire swathe of one of the most populated states isn't a bigger story than it is...
I realize it's a stretch, and I'm not convinced it's the case myself, but is it possible that hunter biden intentionally put photos and videos of him acting a fool on the laptop as a shield on the off chance that something like the laptop scandal ever happened?
Certainly, they've opened the door for conversation, but mostly that conversation has been written off as right-wing nutjobs obsessed with the personal life of the president's son, thus further driving the actual meaningful conversation about corruption at the highest levels out of the public consciousness.
Again, this is raw speculation, and could be pure, weapons-grade bullshit, but it makes a sort of Machiavellian sense...
A few months ago, I got this huge craving for orange juice, and I started drinking it like crazy. We're talking going through a gallon jug in two days by myself kind of thing. I was also eating pepperoni as a snack (I found it as a full sausage, not just slices), dunno if it's related, but yeah.
Over time, I've noticed that sugary drinks stopped tasting very good. I've never been a big fan of soda, but it never tasted like chemical soup like this before.
Dunno if any of this is useful info to anyone, but I thought i'd share anyway.
