probably the only person with the last name of Trump who isnt worthy of outright contempt bordering on hostility is Barron, and thats just because he's a kid.

For reference, this one is the DC Court's decision. The judge being a pain in the rear end before was in the Virginia court because Manafort got charged in two different courts. That judge's opinion is still pending.

Yeah, though I'm not chicken littling over that judge because you've had numerous lawyers and legal observers chime in that he often asks hard and pointed questions of the side he's going to rule for, just to ensure that they have their poo poo together.

She kind of tried to leverage the family name to get famous but at least had the good sense to gently caress off when that didn't work. Her mom tried to bully a hairdresser into working for free ahead of the bigly inauguration, so Marla is about as worthless as the rest of them.

Article is very explicit in that there is no smoking gun, rock-hard proof and that this is only circumstantial at this time. That said, on May 11 a company in China (therefore the Chinese government) floated a loan of $500 million to a project that has Trump-branded properties in it. On May 13 we get his tweet about all those poor Chinese jobs lost by the ZTE company and how we have to help China get their jobs back.

Congress will surely investigate this thoroughly and get to the truth of the matter.

"This ammo is specific to the Mk-19 and will cause catastrophic failure in other weapons." So when does a 40mm grenade round not fire in any other launcher? Obviously not linked, but that's easy enough to remove.

Mk19 rounds will not fit in an M203 without incredible force, and if you manage that and pull the trigger you are going to lose body parts.

The Mk-19 rounds have waaaay more powder in the cartridge than the standard 40mm round used in a 203/230. Like enough that it can gently caress up your shoulder.

Mk19 rounds have much more propellant than your typical 203/320 rounds. Trying to fire one would probably destroy the launcher

Vasudus

mk19 rounds are 40mm high velocity rounds. They've got uh, maybe ten times the propellant? You can lob a mk19 round for a very, very, very long distance. Assuming you can get that fucker into something handheld you're in for a world of pain if you can set it off.

An M203 round can go like 400-ish meters. A Mk19 round can go over 2 kilometers.

There's a reason why, next to a Goose, a 19 is what'll make someone's eyes light up like a Christmas tree over. It's not gently caress you, gently caress your cover, or even gently caress you and everyone around you. It's gently caress those dots on the horizon and anything dumb enough to be within 500m.

Assuming you've got LSA. Have fun waiting 15 hours for EOD at the range when one of the rounds inevitably UXOs, too.
