I think she is reasonably attractive. I'll mock her Crossfit crap endlessly though.

Sinema’s nominally a Dem. I mock her looks because she’s begging us to look at her.
I think Greene is a Neanderthal. I’d mock her even if she was a Dem.
Frankly, civility should be thrown right out the window with most of the Trumpistas. Even if the foot soldiers don’t know they’re being used, they’re actively trying to overturn Democracy, no joke.
Fuck em. They’re all ugly and they smell of fanaticism.

Maybe because I’m a good shot, I don’t need an AR-15.
Edit: She’s probably not aware she’s saying essentially she wants to kill, not deter.
Re: Marjorie Taylor Greene [R - Deliverance Country]
The AR-15 is all about intimidation.
Even one of the Kenosha vigilantes admitted under oath that he carried his pistol for personal protection. He admitted that the AR is good for target practice and that's about all he uses it for. Since he was a prosecution witness, and the prosecution was forced to use other vigilantes to testify against Rittenhouse, they did not just openly say "Ok, so basically you brought it either for intimidation or you were planning on having target practice in downtown Kenosha". But the point was made for any thinking person. If the pistol is for protection, and you believed you needed deadly force for protection, then why bring an AR at all? Of course it's all about intimidation. And also being able to mow down a large amount of people in case of feeling threatened by unarmed people who have a different political opinion.

The 5.56mm full metal jacket rounds that Kyle loaded up with are good for going through body armour, bodies, cover etc.
Perfect for a war zone where you want to kill both up close and at range.

If you want closer range, like most "Self Defense" narratives than an AK is better. And a pistol or shotgun is better than that. I

Even if the DHS did only immigration stuff, which is super wrong, I would think that somebody who spent 20 years as an Assistant US Attorney which included acting as a trial lawyer for the feds at the Mexico border (along with some time in Puerto Rico) might be able to bring some knowledge and experience to the committee. Even being a federal prosecutor up on New York prosecuting gangs and drug cases would likely provide some extra useful experience.
Since MTG is not on any committee and is incapable of listening, it's not surprising she has no clue what makes a good committee person.

Weren't those banned just like mass drivers tossed from space (though the Centauri ignored that little nicety)? You can use a death star, but only really need a single reactor ignition.Dave from down under wrote: ↑Tue Nov 16, 2021 7:43 pm Only way to be sure is to Nuke them from orbit..

Nice to see you take the nimble, sporting approach. My boss often extols the virtues of heavy metal with lots of overkill (2,500 hours in BUFF's + 1,500 in Bone's). He was always worried that he might run out of ammunition if he had gone rotary wing.
