Breaking: Some documents at Trump's golf club were reportedly SCI (Sensitive compartmentalized information).

If this was you or I, we'd be in cuffs.

Inbox: "What do you think of [list of youtubers, pundits, analysts who have made glaring errors]? They've all seriously [graphic term for messing up]. Shouldn't they just stop covering it?"

Na, it's a dynamic situation. Everybody will make a huge mistake at some point.
It's also worth noting that some people are providing an analysis from the point of view of swaying popular opinion to support the side they think is the least bad option. Their "wrong" analysis is just being optimistic.
Some are actively generating propaganda for their side. Some are just new.

I've seen an incredibly experienced analyst make an eyebrow raising statement that was just an error.

Inbox: is it really the end of resistance since Russia brought in Chechens?

Russia is reportedly sending in some troops who have a reputation for brutality. That's it.

It doesn't mean anything beyond that.

(Thread)
The Chechen stereotype comes from when they were the ones acting as irregular forces, not as the occupiers.

Remember, security clampdowns and brutality against the civilian populace tends to feed a resistance.

2/
Don't buy ethnic stereotypes in war. Bullets do what bullets do to people regardless of where those people are from.

I know a couple of people who have tangled with Chechens over the years. They're still alive.

The real news is that Putin needs more troops.

This is amazing. Imagine buying a magazine that's cover pieces are: (Thread)
Hey a short 12 Guage is for short range.
That .30 rifle that people have sworn by for 80 years? Is it still a .30 rifle?
Build your tribe (back) after they get hacked up because you're looking at the skateboarder and not the machete wielding person behind you.
If this cover makes you want to buy the magazine, understand they're going to make you "be ready" to be a loot box for somebody.

Inbox: "Does the Swiss army knife comparison to the AR make sense? Is that a good analogy?"

A good analogy isn't confusing and should allow people without specific knowledge to understand, so no. But, it makes sense to people who already know what the judge meant.

(Thread)
This section of the rifle is what makes an AR an AR. Variations in barrel length, stock, optics, grip, caliber, etc allow it to be used in various roles (Swiss army knife)
Depending on the combinations the rifle can be used for home defense, hunting, varmint control, poking holes in paper to look cool (what most get used for).

I guess yesterday people tried to explain why the first assault weapons ban was ineffective. Tons of questions about what is meant by "cosmetic features". If you're going to try to explain this aspect, you need pictures. The people you're talking to don't know the part names.
The rifle on the bottom was made during the ban. Gun people know the ban couldn't have contributed to any declines because all it did was make rifles look weird to them. (Keep in mind the one on the bottom would accept any of the hundreds of millions of 30 rd mags out there).
the best example for non gun people is probably looking at a picture of the AK-47 vs the MAK-90.

Or maybe the Tec-9 evolution under the ban. The ban succeeded in making that one more easily concealed.

Um... did anybody else realize this happened? I didn't until now.

"Don't be a soy boy!"
"Want to be a real man? Eat this 3 patty an bacon burger"
"Salad? Na, I pee standing up."
"Girlie pastry"

This totally happened
