    We may finally know who’s been to the island

    Anyone who votes in the midterms for a Republican that refused to sign the Massie discharge petition needs to be permanently marked in some fashion so that we can openly mock them and ignore anything they say. This is turning into a massive joke.

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Has the Bloom Come Off Early Pythons

    There's no shame in this if you were at least consistent with your prior post. It's when someone contradicts himself in the same necromanced thread that things get a bit awkward for everyone.

    We may finally know who’s been to the island

    What should be concerning is that Americans keep voting for these people. MAGA will likely primary Massie (probably with an unelectable alternative, given its past performance), and the Republicans that AIPAC bought off will get reelected "because the alternative is worse". Rise & repeat.

    We may finally know who’s been to the island

    What's your theory on why only 4 Republicans have signed Massie's discharge position?

    AR-15 Makers Going Bankrupt?

    100% agree. This isn't limited to firearms by any means. Manufacturing of all types, local grocery stores, gas stations, restaurants, car dealerships - many of these will simply go away in the next decade as their Boomer owners fail to find an exit plan. Gonna be messy.

    We may finally know who’s been to the island

    I can believe that Trump is clean. But I also believe there are many in his circle of influence who are not. Those rumors about Peter Thiel? Maybe just smoke. But maybe something indicative of much worse.

    AR-15 Makers Going Bankrupt?

    In addition to what's been stated, there's also a demographics angle. The Boomers are 25 years older than when this century started, and that affects both sides of the supply/demand relationship. Boomers are finding out that exiting a family-owned small/medium business (SMB) is no easy matter...

    The Terminal List

    I'm not real clear why we needed an entire prequel series to flesh out the backstory of some dude who died in the first book instead of just getting season 2 of the main storyline, but I'll probably still watch this.

    I shot an AI today, and I liked it

    Once upon a time, they held their value. But nowadays, if you buy the most recent model at MAP, you just have to wait until the next one comes out at SHOT and suddenly Mile High or Euro Optic has your model on clearance for 30-40% of what you paid. Now you've got the double-whammy of having an...

    Ukraine war Bullshit.

    It's sad; the national debt was about $5 trillion in 2000, and so we've added $32 trillion in the last 25 years and gotten exactly what to show for it?!? Looking around, everything that matters (roads, bridges, power plants, refineries, etc.) was mostly built well before we racked up all that...

    What happened to going back to the moon?

    I'm ok with doing things that might not pay off during my lifetime but will have a positive impact on future generations. This used to be considered honorable behavior and resulted in some of mankind's greatest feats. Not everything abides by Moore's Law. Getting back to the whole deficit...

    What happened to going back to the moon?

    If we want to go elsewhere in the solar system, we need to get to the moon and set up shop as a stepping-off point. It's likely impossible (or at least impractical) to simply do direct launches from earth. Musk hopes to use LEO propellant transfer as a crutch of sorts, but not everyone is...

    What happened to going back to the moon?

    I know that nobody is looking for a serious answer and just wants to bitch, but the real issue is that we don't just want to go to the moon in a tin can for a couple of days, but instead set up some proper infrastructure as a stepping stone to elsewhere in the solar system. This means that we...

    Dan Bongino leaving the FBI already???

    Back to ineffective ranting on his podcast and maybe some failed Congressional runs, I'd suppose. I had great expectations for him (much more so than Kash, based upon his previous federal law enforcement credentials), but it's clear that the Epstein case is a geopolitical poison pill and for...

    Playing dumb games

    Because unfortunately LRI doesn't make stuff make stuff like reamers and headspace gages for hundreds of cartridges, billet CNC R700 bolts, etc.

    When does the winning start?

    They're almost as bad as the ones who enthusiastically support policies that are guaranteed to backfire later when the other party takes office. If the useful idiots liked NSA surveillance, they're gonna love what's currently cooking. Combine some fuzzy lines between government and private...

    Holly. Cincinnati beatdown victim tells her story

    I don't know if I've seen "the whole video", but the ~5 minutes posted on X shortly after this happened showed some extremely poor decision making on Holly's behalf. I feel bad that she got her ass kicked, but there was ample time to simply walk the fuck away as the situation escalated...

    When does the winning start?

    Yep. It doesn't take much critical thinking to understand how one goes from JD Vance to Peter Thiel to Palintar to universal surveillance with "no meaningful distinction between the public and the private sector in the American regime" (Vance's own words). But conservatives are the ones who...

    Can these feed ramps be saved?

    A rotary tool, a couple Cratex points, and about five minutes would easily clean that up.
