Elon Musk announces the "American Party"

Yeah I just saw that- but like you said it's the PIT so we'll fight it out.

Truth be told- I did search before posting so we'll see how it shapes out, the gods honest 1st post from @akmike47 (hey are you still talking to me fyi) with the more opaque title or mine which was posted something like 18 minutes later but with a more specific title.

Time will tell?

Either way- I stand by my original statement. I think Elon Musk is an honest to goodness present day "Bond villain" or at least the closest I've ever seen. He's got more money than God & everything he does seems to be focused on getting us further than we ever had dreamed about achieving in space (that much I can fully support).

As far as his platform for the American party... reckon we'll just have to wait and see. I wish him luck either way. I had hopes with the Tea Party a decade or so ago but maybe Elon can encompass some of that with his wealth. Just like with Trump, I'm oddly ok with billionaires running for political office these days because if nothing else, they aren't 'bought' by other companies and reckon that's the least evil.

Wild times we're living in.

I would expect that most of the current MAGA crowd will get behind Musk in order to ditch the RINOs. Hopefully, Trump is man enough to endorse this on his way out as a fuck you to the RINOs who undermined his first term and are still scheming against the MAGA agenda.

Let's also hope that the Socialists/Communists/Marxists split off from the Democratic platform with the backing of Soros. MuskMAGA vs. Uniparty (RINOs plus what's left of old school Democrats) vs. the Commies would be a pretty realistic representation of the ideological factions in the USA.

If the Left stays united, we are going to be badly screwed in the 2028 presidential election.

After the Republicans turned the OBBB into another Porculus bill and left 2A in the cold, I am fine with Musk causing a divided Congress after the Midterms. The fewer laws this corrupt bunch can pass the better. Trump has enough power and budget as of Friday to keep gutting the deep state and continuing the deportations.

Well, I totally fucked up and voted for Perot in 1992. At the time, I believed I was voting for the best candidate and that he really had a shot at winning.
I was wrong, so so wrong. Perot running gave us 8 years of Bill Clinton and the evil Satanic pile of festering aborted demon magma that is Killary.

Adding a third mostly Conservative Party to the mix will result in an era of Obama type dominance in government that will result in nothing but pain and misery for all of us.

Better glass than XTR pro around 2k used???

Waiting on a new 22 build that should be here next month so in the market for a scope. Currently running 2 Burris XTR3 and 3 XTR pros on my match rifles. I love the 1/4 mil reticles and pretty much everything about the scopes and they have been rock solid for me over the years.

Over the last 2 years age has started to catch up with me and my eyes are starting to go down hill. So my question to the group, are there any optics I can grab on the used market for around $2k that will be a decent step up in glass resolution and ability to cut the mirage?

I have looked through a few ZCO and they are a fairly large step up but I’m not willing to pay the price.

Mark 5’s I have looked through are not as good of glass as the pros I use to me.

Scopes I’m aware of that “might” be an improvement are rzr gen3, Theos, Zeiss S3??? I have not been able to look through any of those to compare so would like feedback there.

Also really like that the Burris has a pretty forgiving paralax setting, can usually set it and forget it for most stages and would like what ever I buy to be similar.

Open to other ideas as well unless it’s people jumping in to say stop being poor and buy a ZCO.

Probably all pre-planned. Step 1, Trump and Elon create fight to save Elons business and get the left off his back. Step 2... create new method to insure Elon gets elected for pres.. or whoever they both decide. All while pretending to have a feud and hate trump. lol.. Its amazing how regardless of how much the media and govt lies that people will just eat up anything they say still. Its all theater. And used to be quite common among great friends to see who could insult the other the best. Americans have this problem where they always have this "what will other people think" on their mind., its like we've been raised and conditioned to think that way. Most successful people do not think this way, that is why its funny to them insulting each other and just a game, they really dont care and it affects them in no way at all, they both lose no sleep.
Please explain what a staged spat between Trump and Musk would achieve that could not have happened without the spat and the new American Party. I am curious.

In India there is actually a gov push to get people to stop shitting outside.

Not outside like in a communal hole but random outside.

Apparently over 800,000,000 Indians ONLY shit outside everyday. That 2.5x tbe entire pop of the United States.

Disgusting but interesting article, as they got into environmental impacts etc (not hoppy gay shit, but actual impacts)

My employer mandated the vaccine. Anyone else?

IIRC he and the others were fired for insubordination not for what is linked. The people in the link applied for and were denied the religious exemption. That's a 1A violation. I'm not sure those in Pmclaine's filed for the religious exemption.
Not that it matters. The punishment is the procedure. Even if they win, did they? The government pays for it with taxpayers money and they shrug it off. They don't care that they ruined the lives of these people.

It’s a step in the right direction…

All over the U.S. people who were fired or relieved of duty are winning cases.

So maybe he and the others who stood up for their principles and had their lives ruined by “the process” (which was totally corrupt) will get some justice.

Meanwhile… all the Antifa thugs walk free and the politicians and bureaucrats who did this get their pensions…
