Look where the trigger guard is
Yeah, I see what you are referring to. Some bullpups have a mag release in that location. In the bullpup configuration the trigger guard would be obscured by the red line. The overall profile doesn't resemble anything I am familiar with in a bullpup configuration. The carry handle and front hand guards especially. The butt stock looks close. Maybe they were patterning against and older firearm? They clearly weren't go for the low hanging fruit of an AR or AK. Â

The gun silhouette appears to have the grip and magazine swapped.Â
Looks like a bullpen configuration.Â

Oh, shit yeah. Twitter has clearly enabled the dissemination of many, many bullshit stories over the last few years, and so couldn't shut this one down without raising a massive red flag. I didn't realize the root of this back and forth was still the question of whether Twitter's decision was appropriate... it seemed like we had drifted into the broader topic of which stories we should believe or disbelieve. The sooner our political discourse gets the fuck off of social media the better for all of us.
We're on the same page. I think that the bolded was pretty obvious in terms of what I quoted and my response. There was no drift in anything. Try less dunks and more probing if you feel fooled.Â

It’s almost like they learned or something.
You honestly don't see any inconsistency in the application of the terms of service?

It was like less than 50 words. Including the two posts that I quoted. What is wrong with guys?

I honestly have no idea what you're talking about. I think you're a fine poster when you're not trying to be too clever by half in order to appear above it all.Â
I like your posts too. Not sure why you come at me with horseshit though. That you don't see the relevance of the two primary posts I made is not an indictment of me.Â

I don't believe you're so simple minded as to believe that a single tweet could express some rational framework for gauging the merit of any particular accusation, ranging from rape at a college party all the way to political corruption in board daylight. I can, however, believe that you'd expect us not to notice that you just sort of pretended that we all agreed to the tweet's premise.I ain't fooled, son.
Not fooled, apparently a bit confused though.Â
Twitter shut down dissemination of the NYPost story. You don't see any disconnect between that and the lack of action regarding the right out conspiracy nonsense widely propagated with zero fucking checks on that platform?
Look I think that that platform is toxic to our political discourse. I'll pretend you agree I guess.Â

If everything about Hunter is true, it pales in comparison to what Trump and his fake charity admitted to in court. Â

Still using a lot of words to fail to address the topic at hand and continue deflecting.
That is not anywhere near a lot of words, and pretty to the point imo.Â

Ain’t nobody arguing Hunter Biden isn’t a total fucking mess.  That can be true....and Rudy Giuliani could also be try to reheat these stank ass Ukraine leftovers.Â
FTR, I had a substantial for me predicit position on RG getting rung up on charges prior to 12/31/20.

Nah man, your bullshit is obvious. Care to comment on anything relevant here? Seriously, anything at all? I know it is oh so important to your self image that you be above it all. You should be better than this. The whole schtick is pathetic.Â
I understand that you feel bad about being sucked into the brain damaged black hole. You probably still haven't figured out what a backchannel is in other contexts, I assume.

It would be pretty amazing to see @Anastasis actually stay on topic and condemn the actions of those being discussed. But instead we get an unrelated both siding. Keep playing the hitsÂ
These are my two posts on the topic, one pointed at twitter and the other suggesting that Hunter should be given space to work his issues out. #OMGBothsides.Â

Anytime you want to take a break from both siding it to comment on clear bullshit and falsity in the story, that would be grand.
Sorry if pointing out the different standards applied to these situations tweaks you the wrong way.Â

Impossible, no. Highly Unlikely, Yes.  Unlikely: A DC savvy person with an admitted and acknowledged drug problem whose in treatment, whose father is actively running for President abandons his personal laptop at a random computer store. In December of 2019.Â
More likely?  A desperate campaign whose candidate has been impeached for attempting to manufacture a scandal in Ukraine comes up with a half ass Ukraine email scandal similar to another 11th hour nothing burger Clinton email scandal that got him elected.
Occam’s Razor, Man.
Hunter should be given space to fight his demons.

there's some follow up from him...seems to basically say 'they all (both sides) suck but we gotta work with whoever's in charge'. not exactly a ringing endorsement.
not sure of Biden's strategy to put it off until after the election, maybe there's just not enough time bt now and then.Â

I agree with the first paragraph entirely, but it wasn’t a gotcha game. It was fucking Ben Sasse that asked the question. It was obviously meant to be a softball so some GOPers could go “oh look, she respects the Constitution so much she’s got it memorized!”
His entire line of questioning was shit. Serves him right that it blew up into a soundbite for serving up that dog shit.Â

More on immunity and re-infection...
https://blogs.sciencemag.org/pipeline/archives/2020/10/14/immunity-and-re-infection
Â
[F]rom everything we can see, re-infection is a very rare event. The confirmed examples worldwide could possibly be counted on your fingers (depending on whose count you believe) out of at least 38 million total cases. Looking at the Netherlands case, this was an 89-year-old patient with Waldenström’s macroglobulinemia, a type of leukemia that affects two different varieties of B-cells. She was being treated with chemotherapy to impair. B-cell production, and was thus immune compromised, and the second infection occurred two days after her latest round of treatment. Below is an analysis of the sequences of the first virus and the second – if you’d like more information about what a figure like this means and how to read it, see posts here and here.
...
So the situation, for now, seems to be that yes, re-infection is possible. But it’s also quite rare. There are surely cases that we’ve missed, but it’s clearly not something that is happening much. We’re dealing with the fact that the human immune response is hugely variable from person to person – that’s one of its key features. Different people are going to raise different levels of different populations of different antibodies to a coronavirus infection, and that’s a big reason why the clinical course of disease is so variable. Even in these documented reinfection cases, we don’t know the details about what their first immune responses were like (there was no reason to profile these people in such detail the first time!)
Moving beyond that, I would suspect that vaccination, which raises neutralizing antibodies to the Spike protein, will provide a population that is even less susceptible to re-infection than we have in the wild-type-recovered population now, given that three of the five cases we have details of did not have significant changes in the Spike region at all. Now, we don’t know how long vaccine protection will last, or how variable it will be in a broad population – we’re out there getting those data now – but from what we’re seeing, I think the prospects are good. No panic necessary for now.

Lulz. If I was charged to make the sign I would not have included a firearm at all, but if my arm was twisted would have gone with a straight up flat top AR with optics.Â
