Which Democratic candidate has anything NEAR this level of love from his/her base?
Those rallies aren't a very good indicator though. Too many repeat attendees. Possibly paid attendees as well.

Kirk Douglas and Olivia de Haviland are 103 years old, and I'm the only one who picked them?
Should I feel bad?

I'm surprised they hadn't moved him elsewhere if he was looking sketchy as hell. I've seen security at my wife's church do that with sketchy-looking people.
edit: I'm also willing to that this will become the norm for anybody looking sketchy.

makes you wonder if he'll announce any deals with Nigerian princes in the coming days
Given how many tens of thousands of tweets he has, how do we know he hasn't already?

The NRA and 2nd amendment folks oppose sensible gun reform (like red flag laws, waiting periods, etc...) at every turn. Please feel free to educate me with sources where they are being proactive about keeping guns out of the hands of people that have no business owning them. The most I have ever seen is lip service towards universal background checks.
As somebody who was in the NRA (I was young, it was less insane), and as somebody who has followed them and their lobbyists for a long time, they refuse to budge a single inch on anything that could prevent a lot of tragedies (beefed up red flag laws, discussions on age, waiting periods, etc., etc.), and in the end, it is going to cause the pro-gun crowd a lot of problems, and will cost them dearly.
We are going to get a Dem White House, Senate, and House, and they will give us something a lot tougher than the Assault Weapons Ban from the 1990s.
People seem to forget that the original AWB was challenged hundreds of times in court, and it only went away because it had a sunset provision and Republicans happened to be in control when the 10-year period ended.
Because the NRA and their fans refuse to budget a single inch, we will get an AWB II (only I have a feeling it will cover a lot of non-AWB types). And because the AWB had 10 years of case history, and because of all of the mass shootings that have happened since the early 90s, the people pushing a new AWB through will have that history to beef up an AWB II and make it even more court-proof (and public opinion-proof).
Of course, the NRA will be happy, because they'll be able to fundraise like nobody's business. Private jets and mansions for all of the leadership!

I'd be less concerned about good guys with guns if they could all shoot like that LEO does. I still think it's a flawed concept, but holy smokes he was cool as a cucumber.
Honest question, as I don't shoot: is that distance similar to the distance one trains at in most ranges? Seeing it all go down, it looked like a (metaphorical) mile.
He apparently hasn't been LEO since the '80s, and was a reserve deputy or whatever, at that.
He is a shooting instructor, both for LEOs and civilians, including LTC, and we've all seen plenty of situations where LEOs completely suck ass at shooting in a live-fire situation.
Some (not you) are overlooking the fact that he probably is a better shot than most LEOs out there, because being a shooting instructor is what he's done for decades.

My issue with the "good guys with guns" who carry to cracker barrel and church is that they're all fat diabetic morons.
But those guys make great cover/shields and could do a good job of taking fire from the shooter.

Did they let you take your wife to your room and shut the door or did you have to leave it open?

I agree with most everyone else on here. Watched the whole series and was pretty entertained I guess but had no idea what was happening overall.
It was like a collection of various scenes with a high production value and just stitched together to try and create a storySo, would you say it resembled an expensive RPG?

Giving Trump something to do for his State of the Union
https://www.cnn.com/2019/12/30/middleeast/iraq-us-airstrikes-reaction-intl/index.html
QuoteIran has warned the US of "consequences" after Washington carried out airstrikes against an Iran-backed militia group in Iraq.
The US has "openly shown its support to terrorism and shown its negligence to the independence and national sovereignty of countries," said Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Abbas Mosavi , according to the state-run IRNA news agency.
"It must accept responsibility of the consequences of the illegal attacks," added Mosavi.
At least 25 people were killed and 51 wounded in the airstrikes that targeted five facilities controlled by Kataib Hezbollah in Iraq and Syria on Sunday.
Kataib Hezbollah is a militia group that falls under the Iran-backed Shiite Popular Mobilization Forces in Iraq.
The strikes represent the first significant US military response in retaliation for attacks by the militia group that have injured numerous American military personnel, according to US officials.

So the interns appear to be doing his few tweets over the last 24 hours. Wonder why he’s taking the time off.

Jerry Jones hiring Barry Switzer, and Bud Adams moving the Oilers gave me the opportunity to cut the NFL out of my life. Had the Texans drafted Vince, they might have reeled me back in, but, of course (it's Houston), they didn't.
I'm glad to have Sundays free.
1234. I've said it before here, and I’m going to be that asshole and say it again.
Bum Phillips died surrounded by friends and family.
Bud Adams died alone, and his body was only discovered after somebody in another state called the cops to do a wellness check.Fitting end for both.

This is Trump's base. If it were a movie on Amazon Prime.
QuoteJohn Wilson wakes up, gets ready for his day and heads to work. He has no idea that he's being watched, tracked and studied. Is he a threat to national security? Is he a terrorist or a criminal? No, he's an ordinary American citizen. Like everyone else, John's rights and freedoms have been systematically destroyed - all in the name of security and convenience. Is it about peace and unity? Or is it about ultimate global power? What if there were hidden forces with no ties to democracy or constitutional rights in power? What if new laws, media propaganda and Secret Societies labeled John a danger to society? And what if all this set the stage for a Biblically prophesied global government run by the Antichrist?

They are doing a good job of making sure everybody knows who they are.

The idiot who was tweeted above seems like an insufferable cunt.
He sounds like those uptight assholes that get upset over a little masturbation during this movie yesterday, even though you made sure you were in the very top row and nobody was within a few rows, or at least 5-6 seats of you.

It's weird that the church has a security guard.
My wife's Baptist church, albeit it is large, is in Central Austin, and has a shit-ton of armed security, usually 1-2 off-duty LEOs in uniform, and several armed volunteers (and that's just the ones hovering near the doors with earpieces making themselves out to be obvious, pretty sure there are some we are not seeing).
It used to not be this way either, but it's the norm. It's like one of my in-laws is an assistant principal, and they were bragging about how the new school they are working at has all of these new features to deter school shooters, and all I can think was "holy shit dude, think about what you're bragging about???"

If they were smart, they'd change the name tag to read "IG-11" and add a few hundred bucks to the price.

And these days, based on how much of a shitshow dumpster fire the PAC has become, we win the Big 12, even with two losses, we are liable to be in the CFP.
