Consistent with being a Democrat.

Unfortunately, what I’m hearing from the BBC world service is that a lot of the honest locals are getting tossed in jail for social media posts (not actually participating in riots).

No one says he’s moral but his affairs didn’t net him political benefits. None of us would be discussing Harris today if she hadn’t used her politically connected lover to get her start.

Exactly. She’s basically running as an incumbent and on the policy successes of the Biden/Harris administration. She could make minor adjustments but if they are too wild, her legacy as VP becomes less of a campaign point.

I think in a similar way, though I come to the opposite conclusion. Trump Is the candidate fit to serve? Yes, I do not believe his moral shortcomings impact his ability to do his job, even if I’m uncomfortable with them. Do I support the policy positions of the candidate? Almost entirely, yes...

Not to put too fine a point on it, but yes. We have a choice between a party and platform that is openly and unapologetically opposed to me and my family’s rights, traditions, and values and another that is not. Just ignoring personality, politically the DNC and the Harris campaign offer me...

This is wild.

I’m pretty he sure he meant the left’s idea of governance. Not all forms of governance.

The progressive left has also embraced the environmentalist idea that unfettered economic growth and the modern western lifestyle is environmentally unsustainable. That’s not a path forward to improving quality of life for the poor or lower middle class whom they want to push into public mass...

Newsome is launching his first salvo in his 2028 bid for president. I’m guessing his pollsters informed him that poop and needles in the streets don’t play well to middle America. https://apnews.com/article/california-homeless-encampment-newsom-7d4478801de6e9f8a708c7c7c6ef3e5f

It’s fine to be disappointed, but it doesn’t mean much if you don’t act on it in the polling booth. The DNC isn’t going to take note until registered Democrats put their foot down.

Of course, this woman may have been publicly expressing what she wants the Harris agenda to be. We have to wait for Harris to lay out her own platform officially. I expect it will be largely the same as Biden’s with a few changes meant to reinvigorate the voters a bit. I’ve been hearing the...

NPR was interviewing the head of the congressional progressive caucus. She seems to think that Harris will be hammering on housing, childcare, and Medicare in addition to shifting the democrats position on Israel to be more pro Palestine. If true, this isn’t going to be the border security...

Biden may have dealt her an impossible hand but she still has to play it. She’s his VP after all and is using his campaign money. She’s a pseudo-incumbent and incumbents can’t run on a reform platform. If she veers too far from Biden’s policies she will have to explain why she was supporting...

I don’t see how she can run on border security when she refused to visit the border and view the crisis first hand. It’s arguably her weakest policy point. Further, playing up her history as a prosecutor seems like a strange tack for the party that supported defunding the police and laments...

She’s even less qualified than Harris.

Newsom is slimy but he’s not stupid. The democrats are flailing right now and I think he will hold out until the next election. He’d only have a few months left to campaign, getting Biden’s money would be tougher (but not impossible). Trump has also just had a resurgence in popularity. From a...

To put it kindly.

Are any of them from battleground states? I don’t disagree with you but picking someone from Ohio was probably intentional.

Thank you for the heads up. I am trying to get the link removed so as to not spread misinformation.

I’m more surprised it took so long for one of them to try it and these are not recent videos. This has been happening for close to a decade now.

The samurai had been in decline long before 1868. Basically the from the beginning of the Tokugawa shogunate. With the end of centuries near constant civil war, the relative peace of the shogunate found thousands of unneeded warriors to be a threat, thus the samurai culture moved to focus on...

Even more than intentional education on the part of the American occupation, the generation that grew up in post war Japan holds a strong anti-war sentiment. The country was devastated and took much longer to recover than Germany. It’s easy to understand why many of them would see militarism...

I agree. She doesn’t have enough experience outside of being VP to stay in the political limelight and risks being forgotten. This is her one chance so I think she’ll take it as far as she can.

Why would Harris agree to that? She has political ambitions of her own. And how do the democrats justify to their black and woman voters that they asked the presumptive successor, and potential first black woman president, to step aside for a white man? While another candidate may be an...

Not being a lawyer I can only assume this is a wino f some form. Any insight from those more learned in the ways of law? https://www.reuters.com/world/us/trump-documents-trial-start-delayed-indefinitely-judge-orders-2024-05-07/

Had to look it up, I was not disappointed.

Her 2a record isn’t good. That’d be a red flag for me.

We have a pretty good idea what folks wear hunting, nice to see what some are wearing with drinks at the Muthaiga club.

The dems are stuck with Kamala. She was an olive branch to the race and gender obsessed wing of the DNC after they ended up picking another rich, old, white, man in the primary. Ditching her was never going to happen because it would be seen as a betrayal. And who would they replace her with? A...

I’m relatively new to regular watch-wearing but I’ve been inspired by this thread to start wearing this at work and hunting turkey for the last two months. I’ve really come to appreciate not having to pull my phone out every time in order to check the time or remember the date.

What a waste.

It doesn’t take too much imagination to think that after a surprise loss in 2016, the powers that be could have decided to hedge their bets in 2020. I’m not saying that’s the case but a lack of interference in 2016 wouldn’t preclude it happening in 2020. The response to Trump’s election by his...

But that’s no thanks to the democrats. Their current impotence on the issue shouldn’t be an endorsement.

I wish they’d make the bambino with Arabic numerals again.

Just a month ago someone was showing off their copy of Small Game. Wonder where he got it? https://www.africahunting.com/threads/pierre-van-der-walt-books.72627/

Will that be Big Game? Medium and Dangerous are the only ones I’ve ever seen for sale. I don’t know if Small Game was ever available in the US.

So the government has created the conditions that justify maintaining a controversial and possibly unconstitutional surveillance law? Convenient.

You only see that in the bad parts of the forest.

Good deal. I’m seeing them listed individually for far more than that.

I’ve seen flooding in desert cities in the US. It doesn’t rain often but when it rains it pours. Many seem to be investing in drainage ponds to at least protect the roads from monsoon rain. I’m actually a little surprised a wealthy city like Dubai wouldn’t have drainage around the airport for...

Wild. https://news.sky.com/story/amp/dubai-all-arrival-flights-diverted-at-worlds-busiest-airport-struck-by-years-rainfall-in-a-day-13116616

Which ones? Dangerous and Medium? Did the others ever get printed?

I have medium game cartridges but it and dangerous game appear to be the only ones on paper. At least with a search online and both of those seem to be out of print and selling for over a hundred dollars each.

Did you ever find out about small game cartridges? I don’t see it for sale anywhere online, even used.

Anyone have light African game cartridges by Pierre van der walt? How does he compare the creedmoor to the Swede?

Agreed. When Iranian leaders chant “death to America”, it’s understood to be a threat. People in the US chanting “death to America” are plainly advocating terrorism. Does anyone really think that the death they are hoping for us is a natural one?

I can’t believe how many laugh reactions there are on the FB video.

I have the Iside EM in 12g. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend their sxs shotguns.
