The BSA wasn’t Hitler Youth outright while I was in, but there is definitely a “God, Duty, Country” vibe that other scouting organizations around the world left behind or never adopted in the first place. Conservatives liked that, and they hated that they had been making a slow march towards more progressive and less nationalist policy that I bet only hastened after the sexual assault lawsuits bankrupted the national organization.

Hegseth is probably doing this to either pressure Scouting into regressing, or to weaken Scouting in order to spin up a Trump Youth later. There is no shortage of conservative dads unhappy with modern Scouting that would love either outcome.

If you have a cop as a friend or a casual acquaintance, stop talking to them. Time and time again they rat on their friends and family for professional credit.

this fascist thinking he can go anywhere he wants and feel safe

He can, with good reason. People filming them with their phones and taunting them with shrill voices are not threatening his safety. Only a couple people out of over 300 million have truly threatened their safety, and they were completely impotent and were immediately killed for doing so.

Semantics. Most barrels include the chamber the bullet sits in, this goofball basically chopped down everything except the chamber. “Barrel” would be as correct as “chamber” in this silly instance.

The comment isn’t joking, you can literally see the tip of the bullet poking out of the chamber, though the picture has been jpg-fucked over time it seems.

The top “tube” is just a channel for the cocking handle.

Right on its face, is it even legal to collect head shots of minors? I know US privacy laws are a joke but there’s usually some carve outs that protect minors.

One or two bullets may have exited the torso then into an arm or vice-versa, it happens. He is most likely being literal. “I shot her so good I got more hits than I fired shots.”

The injury was to the ego and authority - of the entire apparatus, not one man. They’re all anxious to bring retribution and remind everyone that the enforcer class is above them and demands your cowering deference.

Nazi Germany ended up making more StuGs than Panzer IVs because they were squeezed by cost, production time, and material shortages too.

Still very very rare compared to the 8,000,000,000 people on the planet, or whatever the number is at now.

Of course one is too many yadda yadda

Be ready for a significantly shorter experience than RE2make.

They had to begrudgingly push out the New Deal because they knew that a violent socialist revolution where the owners get strung up from their own chandeliers was the probable alternative.

Now they probably think modern security and propaganda will prevent all that, or they’re just ignorant, shortsighted, and greedy, and they haven’t really considered the consequences.

Declaring war is a boring, formal process that acknowledges authority other than himself, of course he doesn’t want to do it. Why do all of that when he already has the thrill of ordering the deaths of random civilians and having the footage streamed live to him while he scarfs down a McDouble? If he wants to send in a Marine division he’ll just say go do it, who’s going to stop him?

She lived in exile because she shot a New Jersey state trooper dead during a traffic stop, not because she was an “activist.”
