Simply using race as an indicator of vastly different backgrounds can be flawed. Three highly qualified candidates - two kids from wealthy families, one white, one black, went to expensive schools, a third white candidate from a broken family, grew up in a trailer park and worked their way through school. Who will have different life experiences and lines of thinking? Which one will be “diverse?”

I roll my eyes at pretty much every conspiracy theory I hear, but there’s just too much wrong here. I don’t think Crooks was sent by the Iranians, but maybe SS has become a bunch of crackheads, maybe the DEI chickens came home to roost, or maybe lapses in security were intentional. Or maybe all of the above. The people currently in charge have above and beyond hatred for Trump and I can’t ignore any possible explanation at this point. Some 20 year old dork making the world’s premier executive protection outfit look like the Three Stooges on live tv just doesn’t add up.

Yep. I heard on the way home that 20% of Americans believe the shooting was staged and 31% believe that it was Trump’s own fault. All this talk of unity is nonsense.

The L-frame Smiths (586, 686, etc) more or less replaced the K-frame .357s (13, 19, 66, etc) as the gun to have if it will get a steady diet of .357. The K-frames would develop issues sooner or later. The stouter frame (not the cylinder) of the L guns cured this. Many people assumed the GP100 and the Security Six had the same L-frame/K-frame relationship, but that’s not really the case. Some wheelgunners feel that the GP100 was unnecessary, but believe the L-frame was an improvement over the K-frame. I have no experience with 7-shot Ruger or Smith .357s, but I’ve never seen or read anything bad about either one. I’m with Grayfox - look for a Security Six or a pre-lock 586/686 if you plan to shoot a bunch of .357, unless you must have seven rounds.

I read the whole article and couldn’t figure out if he was comparing Hitler to Trump or Biden. I think I need to go to bed. Gotta go to Jackson tomorrow.

25 or so years ago, I went to Vegas with a friend on a last minute trip and lost $80 in five days. I was pissed, but people acted like I kicked the casino’s ass. My routine became win a stack on Carribean stud and idiotically give it all back on the roulette table. Well one night, John Gotti’s twin comes to the table in a silk mafia suit with a 10 BOMBSHELL half his age on his arm. I had just finished giving them back the last of my stud money and was angrily pounding Long Island Teas. He hands her a 3” stack of $100 chips and says, “go ahead, pick any number baby.” She puts the entire stack on 12 or 26 or whatever and the damn ball lands on her number. A 35:1 payout. I stood up and told my friend, “This is rigged, that dude owns this place, this is BS, and I’m going to bed.” I haven’t been back since.

What happens in Vegas…

I must have missed the show.

And that is different from pretty much all other presidents exactly how?

I am apparently tired and/or slow and am missing something.

What’s your point?

He was already famous and now people are shooting him. I think the Bibles and goofy shoes and cards are him stroking his ego OR he just thinks they are funny as hell. I could probably be convinced either way. I haven't bought anything, BTW.

If he came from a trailer park last week, I might buy that. But a billionaire doesn't need t-shirt revenue. He could drop out of the race and go play golf and many of his problems would go away, but he doesn't.

F em.

If I were a serious Trump fan, I would wear this every weekend.

Yep, there was a thread about it. They also toned down the abortion rhetoric. Some feel this was a strategy to win over some midddle-of-the-road or low info types. 2A takes up less space, but is still there.

Amen. I will vote for him because I like most of his policies and we were better off when he was in charge, not because I want to be his buddy. He was not my first choice for the nominee, mainly because I felt others could do anything he could do with less noise and drama. I’ve read a lot of accounts that claimed one-on-one he is the nicest person people ever met. Maybe so, I don’t really care. Politicians are tools for us to use to get good things done or prevent bad things from being done, nothing else.

What specifically makes you think this?

This theory is the latest attempt to discourage a few would-be Trump votes, like claiming that Trump was convicted of sexual assault - a known lie intended to plant some doubt. Besides the rants of a few wackos, what evidence or indication is there that Trump suddenly became anti-2A? It’s another idiotic conspiracy.

Or Trump may say, “Wow, guys with guns saved my life.” And 2A is still part of the platform.

Nice. Jack and his ilk have had a rough 40 hours. Half are depressed because the assassination attempt will boost Trump and the other half are mad that the guy missed. Now the docs case gets tossed. Being a deranged leftist loon ain’t easy nowadays.

Yeah Antonio Parkinson (D-Memphis) was pushing the staged theory too. And Amber Sherman, president of the Young Democrats of Shelby County, said Trump getting shot on her birthday was a gift. Not sure anybody’s “we will unite” plan is gonna work.

Local race baiter Tami Sawyer said the shooting was staged. She is the Democratic nominee for General Sessions Court Clerk. Be sure to vote in August.

LOL @ ^^^ First thing I do when reading an article is see who wrote it.

That article smells like damage control. Deflect from over the top rhetoric being a factor and blame it on the father being involved in “gun culture.”
