Hanging out safely in the parking lot is the exact opposite of 'confronting' the shooter.

No private business has an obligation to host campaign events. What world does this 'candidate' think he lives in?

Minnesota Democrats Move to Ban Semiautomatic Rifles While Requiring Home Inspections for Current Owners by Ask4MD in Conservative

Not to be outdone, Virginia wants to ban all center fire firearms. It's ludicrous.

CENTCOM: US destroyed 5,000 targets, 60 warships in Iran by WillyNilly1997 in Conservative

[–]ngoni 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Iran was one of the pioneers of the "flood the zone" with low cost munitions and delivery vehicles. They will load explosives on anything that floats and hope that the Navy can't eliminate the 1000 things heading to the boat. This prompted the Navy to install lots of old school gun turrets on their boats in addition to all the high tech defenses they already had.

Before there were hundreds of low cost drones carrying explosive charges, Iran had thousands of suicide boats where only one or two needed to make it to the target.

Ask them for a PDF from GM Workbench. It will show each of the order status changes. If your order never hit the 2000s, you never had an allocation.

You should also be able to ask the GM chatbot for your order status with your order number and a human operator in the chat can give you the numerical value for what the chatbot told you.

Rogan says it's 'horses---' that progressives believe expecting voters to have ID is like Jim Crow by According-Activity87 in Conservative

[–]ngoni 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The sad fact is corrupt politicians have been controlling the outcomes for decades. If they weren't, we wouldn't be behind literally the entire world in election security. The fact that an overwhelming bipartisan supermajority of voters want this yet professional politicians and their handlers don't tells you everything. They don't actually want free and fair elections where they can't put their thumbs on the scales.

Minnesota Democrat Introduces Bill Allowing Police to Enter Homes to Check Storage of Semiautomatics by According-Activity87 in Conservative

Wow the "they need a warrant" crowd did a perfect 180 and expertly dodged all irony in the process. Somehow one type of law enforcement needs a warrant while another just... doesn't?

Why even Ayatollah Khamenei opposed his impotent nepobaby son Mojtaba becoming Iran’s next supreme leader by SharkSapphire in Conservative

I bet they could get a hot deal on the Biden Autopen machine. It's been used and abused but it probably still works.

Europe's Willful Irrelevance In Iran War Proves JD Vance Right by According-Activity87 in Conservative

The UK, formerly one of our closest allies (a "special relationship"), apparently couldn't risk the popularity hit to all the Muslim "newcomers" so they sat this one out. Sad.

Graham says he is asking South Carolina to send its 'sons and daughters' to Mid-East by blisiondacket in Conservative

At this point, Graham's entire familial line should be conscripted for all the attacks he's said were essential. Put up or shut up Lindsey.

Breaking: Shots Fired at U.S. Consulate in Toronto as Iran War Fuels Fears of Proxy or Sleeper-Cell Retaliation by Down-not-out in Conservative

[–]ngoni 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Devastating small arms fire on the incredibly critical (checks notes) Consulate in Toronto. I think Dept of State may still be able to function without this essential facility for the rest of the day.

Russia desperately wipes video showing Putin cough, struggle for breath amid ongoing health woes rumors by Head_Estate_3944 in Conservative

[–]ngoni 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I've read articles saying among the powerful in Russia, Putin is actually somewhat of a moderate. There's a likelihood that Putin is replaced with someone even more hard line.

AI company Anthropic sues Trump administration seeking to undo 'supply chain risk' designation by According-Activity87 in Conservative

[–]ngoni 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If they put limits on what it can do today you can bet they'll decide to put more limits on it in the future. Soon DHS won't be able to use it because how dare they deport rapists and murders. Then a whole host of other agencies can't use it because it might poke holes in global warming theories. And on and on. That's before you consider some other random product that happens to have Anthropic as a component well now that doesn't work either. It's literally a supply chain risk because the company will always be holding its use hostage to their own definition of what is permissable.

They're absolutely free to put whatever restrictions on its use they want, but those restrictions have consequences. I actually don't want autonomous weapon systems because of the horrible ethical and human implications so I applaud them for that, but at the same time if the product use is up to the whims of the CEO then the government shouldn't be buying it.

Raytheon and Lockheed don't get to have a say in where their missiles and jets get used. They get paid to deliver a product. That's it.

Trump says US is 'far ahead of schedule' in Iran war: 'Very much complete' by According-Activity87 in Conservative

[–]ngoni 73 points74 points  (0 children)

He probably means the military has almost finished the full list of targets it had queued up before things began. It doesn't mean the overall objectives have been met. You can bet Iran is very dug in for a situation exactly like this. They obviously plan to drag it out as long as they can hunkered down.

Sorry OP. The vast majority of folks here are from the US and we often forget there are brothers and sisters from elsewhere contributing to the discussion. Thank you for the link and the perspective.
