    So, it just occurred to me...

    If the previous President did anything close to what many are thinking and many are proclaiming, there is real knowledge of it somewhere. There are agencies and departments that know things about just about everything, and this dude isn't the best at hiding what's going on, so it's known.

    So with that, if he really did do bad things, we're already screwed. Right?

    Just some light reading....

  2. This is kind of off topic related to private gun ownership but is realted to guns...

    I realize this is sort of an out of date question but I am curious what people think about the Sig M7 as a front line replacement for the M4.  I understand the idea behind it; more modularity and the ability to pop through body armor better than 5.56 or  7.62 rounds.  But as I understand it, the plan would be to issue these to combat trooops while others in the rear would still field the M4.   

    1. That means two types of small arms ammo have to be transported in bulk.   That was already being done with 5.56/7.62 for the M4/249 and 240s so this isn't a new issue but it still seems like a logistical issue.

    2.  Is NATO going to be adopting the M7 as well?   Granted, depending on the future and U.S. politics, we might not even be in NATO but isn't this also a huge logistics nightmare?  

    3.  This is an Army contract and the Marines could adopt the weapon but there's no current plan that I know of.   So there's another logistical issue.

    Thoughts?

    I've read that if the LNG tanks at the Cheniere terminal at Sabine pass went up it would flatten all of Port Arthur and parts of Beaumont and Lake Charles like a Nuclear blast. That would wipe out Valero, Motiva, and BASF Total refineries in Port Arthur, and probably destroy or damage a few more chemical plants and refineries in the area. The Motiva refinery is the largest in North America and the Exon plant in Beaumont is like 2 or 3 depending on source ...Valero is #8, and the Citgo plant in Lake Charles is #7. Taking 4 of the top 10 refineries in NA offline for probably a decade or more would be end of days economic collapse type shit. 

    Not to mention the environmental issues.

    As I'm sure you all are aware, this is a thinly disguised MTG "hearing" to bring in known anti-abortion activists.

    Davis Daleiden and Terrisa Bukovinac both rep such organizations. Daleiden has the distinction of having criminal charges brought against him in multiple states, including Texas for various acts related to his activism. Bukovinac is running for President 2024 and wants a federal ban on abortion, to repeal the FACE Act (relates to clinics),  along with other related things. She claims to be a former pro choice Christian who is now an anti-abortion atheist.

    MTG working to get Lauren Boebert's sons vasectomies would be a bigger benefit to society IMO.

    Yeah, I read about those two earlier.   Daleiden in particular is a piece of work.

    Wallinger seemed to have a major impact on the Waterboys overall sound, but to me, they were still a Mike Scott band.   Not that that is a bad thing.  I just liked the changes that Wallinger brought into the Waterboys and was curious what he would be once he got out from under Scott.  Scott still apparently wrote most of the music, but Wallinger's presence really seemed to change the band.   

    Gotcha.

  6. I know some around here like the UFC but I just see that whole crowd as mouth-breathing, knuckle-dragging GQP assholes.  I personally don't care for UFC or Boxing and even question liking football.   The gladiator aspect of it is sad.

    Mother Fucker.  After he left The Waterboys, I couldn't wait to hear what he did without Mike Scott.  Then I heard this song.  I still get the same feeling when I hear it today.....MANY years later.

     

    From A Pagan Place:  Waterboys

    From "This Is The Sea"

     

    I'm curious why you say "I couldn't wait to hear what he did without Mike Scott."  I don't know much about their relationship other than Scott seems to be a bit electic and seems to have played with a shit ton of people in his band.   

  8. Mace also clammed up on 1/6 after George asked her about her comments back then.   Her "my constituents have moved on" was so on point.   They don't care so why should she.   Rule of law be damned.

  9. When is someone going to raise holy hell about how all of these suits get brought to court in Lubbock/Amarillo?   We know why (friendly GQP judges) but why is the AG of the State of Texas, whose office in Austin, not being casitgated about this in the press?    

    Wait, never mind.   The press sucks.

    What's sad is he'll have that hard life and have zero self awareness as to why.  He'll blame immigrants, minorities, or something.

    And then he'll become President of the United States.
