Hell, the secret to my being called out in Embassy settings as a damned good writer for my career track and pay grade is that anything I intend someone to read, I read out loud in front of a mirror to see how it would sound in my voice. If I can make it sound simultaneously LIKE ME and PROFESSIONAL at the same time, it's a win.

This isn't rocket surgery.
But the sunshine aye shall light the sky,
As round and round we run;
And the truth shall ever come uppermost,
And justice shall be done.

Poor baby.

Actually, doesn't want anybody to see how little damage there is.

I watched the local news today, and they interviewed a guy who was there who said that tfg was covered in blood. :think:

Not watching any of it and wasn't looking, some of it popped up in my feed:

And lots of MAGAs are furious that Harmeet Dillon was able to give a Sikh prayer. Typical: "We're a Christian nation!" Vile posts about her: https://x.com/search?q=harmeet&src=typed_query

ABSOLUTELY UNACCEPTABLE!! I have nothing but respect for Harmeet Dhillon but fire whoever invited her to pray to a foreign god, there is only one true God we pray to and his name is not whatever she said. His name is YAHWEH and his only begotten Son is Jesus Christ

They keep forgetting that SCOTUS just gave Biden permission to do whatever he wants.

Probably the only news coverage I'm watching this week is here. And Stephen Colbert, live all week. It's a good week for Netflix.

Look, I'm just saying that the national security power to unleash a nuke has got to be a Presidential Executive Function, right? So core immunity attaches, y'know?

I mean, I don't think they make one small enough that it would take out all intended targets and not the rest of the city, and even Dark Brandon realizes he needs the votes of the non-targets in the blast radius, so I think they're all safe.

re the prayer:
https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/world/us/watch-indian-american-lawmaker-harmeet-dhillon-offers-ardas-in-presence-of-trump-assassination-attempt/articleshow/111773400.cms wrote:Indian American lawyer and Republican Party leader Harmeet Dhillon delivered an 'Ardas' prayer at the Republican National Convention, with former President Donald Trump in attendance. The prayer, which is recited by Sikhs before embarking on any new endeavor, seeks God's protection and guidance to uphold the values of humility, truth, courage, service, and justice for all.

The attorney also thanked God for the 'Chardikala' spirit witnessed in President Trump, which she described as "the tireless and uplifting spirit that is sustained even in the face of violent adversity, like a founding father centuries ago."

She expressed gratitude for protecting his life and for his examples of 'nirbhay' (fearlessness) and 'nirvir' (the absence of hate) when faced with vitriol, stating that these examples of extraordinary calm inspire them.

Fun fact, the recoiless rifle the Davy Crockett would have been shot from, at the higher end of the boom-shaka-laka had a range that meant the blast would probably kill it's crew...... :eek: :shock: :toxic-waste:

A Gunman Shot at Trump With an AR-15. RNC Visitors Can Win a Free One
The assassination attempt against Trump didn’t change the GOP’s deadly gun politics

https://www.rollingstone.com/politics/p ... 235061183/
:snippity:
The giveaway is sponsored by an RNC vendor called the U.S. Concealed Carry Association. The gun group, founded in 2003, is based in Wisconsin and claims a membership of 800,000. USCCA pitches itself as a concealed carry advocacy group, encouraging self-defense with firearms. The gun violence publication The Trace has highlighted USCCA as one of many groups “scrambling to fill the NRA’s void,” with that beleaguered gun rights group raising less money than in years past.

USCCA’s membership pitch is based around obtaining insurance, through the group, meant for anyone who might use a gun to kill in self defense. A membership brochure handed out at the booth highlights the case of “Brian” who was “forced to shoot” an intruder but soon found himself “charged with murder” — and how USCCA membership and insurance saved the day, by deploying an attorney and taking care of the legal fees needed to clear Brian’s name. The same “peace of mind” is pitched to would-be members, nay “responsibly armed Americans,” for as low as $29 a month.

To get MAGA conventioneers extra interested in its membership, the group is promoting a giveaway for an AR-15 manufactured by Daniel Defense. (The exact model would be tailored to what’s legal in the state of the winner.) Daniel Defense rifles are infamous for not being used in self-defense scenarios. The Uvalde school shooter used one, and several Daniel Defense rifles were found in the stockpile of the Las Vegas shooter who murdered dozens at the Route 91 Harvest music festival, shooting down from a hotel room. :snippity:
