  1. I get that, and it paid off, but even he would feel awful if shooter #2 opened up right then and killed or wounded a few of them.
  2. The first time I saw the video I thought (and still think) that Trump pausing for the fist raise photo op was selfish and put his security team in danger. He's not a small dude, so they may have been unwilling or unable to physically overpower him and force him down the stairs without risking injury, but he should get an earful from somebody within Secret Service for that moment. He has had a detail for close to 8 years now, he knows the procedure.
  3. See that sniper's head pop up? I suspect he saw muzzle blast and realized shit just got VERY real.
  4. If this audio is properly synchronized, it looks like the assassin and the SS Counter sniper may have fired almost simultaneously. When the details come out, I wonder if multiple other SS/LEO shooters got off shots and the bad guy only got off one or two. This is surreal video right here. Edit: This might also explain why the guy just grazed his ear from 150 yards, if a bullet was traversing his brain right as he pulled the trigger...
  5. Yeah, this doesn't look good for the Secret Service...
  6. I assumed too much when it was posted here. Mea culpa.
  7. I merely meant I was impressed the fuselage remained intact and didn't break up. I guess there was just enough lateral force to prevent the terminal splat at the point of impact. Inner analytical coming out, even in the midst of tragedy. But, it's Russian tragedy, so...
  8. Tough day to be an 80's icon. They come in 3's, who is next?
  9. Closer, more gruesome angle. Spoilered for fatality. Supposedly was a trial run preparing for an air show, not actually combat. The bounce and slide is actually kind of impressive in a gruesome sort of way.
  10. This one hits a little close to home. My bride (no pics) was born and raised there and graduated from this school district. One article I found said that one of them was employed in the district's after school care program and the other was a substitute teacher at the time it happened (Oct 21-Jan 22). At least one of them has since been hired as an elementary teacher, not sure about the other but they were both still employed by the district (until this hit the fan). One for sure was a 2019 graduate of that school system, so the timeline of the acts would have been during her third year of college. Also, the article makes no mention of anything statutory, so the victims were likely at least 17. Small town, everybody knows everybody. Something fun to ask the in-laws about!
  11. Yeah, they aren't black. The have done both black and "Smokey" grey. The grey is better.
  12. If a school's primary color is construction zone orange, dark grey is a good choice to pair with it to minimize the garishness. "Smokey" grey based on their dog mascot and the Smokey mountains, sure whatever. They could be worse.
  13. Now that I am caught up, that most recent video @KYHorn posted made me say allright, allright, allright... I'll show myself out.
  14. That will be a fun one for Kirby to downplay at media days....
  15. Stupid day job getting in the way of drawing dick pics...
  16. Nashville is full. Move along. (full of former Californians, so the metro area will continue to blue in the coming years)
  17. They do. Do not ask my how.
  18. He did just good enough to stick around. Which has Republicans salivating.
  19. Yep, academic peers, perfect reasoning for choosing an athletic conference... SMH
  20. A fantastic idea that I read just after getting home from Home Depot. Charging laptop and iphone with it currently for a longevity test. I'll put the fan on my next shopping list.
