Well egg on my face I guess. I really thought they just found some rubes, waved cash at them, then made the rest up. Can't read past the paywall but sounds like they actually used the murder-bot.

Oh yeah i meant as the explosive they set off. You dont get a fireball 100feet high from anything that a barret would send. Also: i wish i had a scope that had all that bullshit going on in the animation

Edit: from her flinch when she shot i dont think she had earpro in lol. I paused on that frame and her ear facing the camera looks open

Probably tannerite. Why make poo poo more difficult, just put a bucket of tannerite behind the door.

Yea, no way she actually shot anything. It was just recorded. She's very performative.

Also there was probably just a small demo charge and a dozen gallon jugs of gasoline on top of it.

I'm not saying she hit anything, she clearly shot the barrett though. Likely someone else shot the prius. That's maybe $200 worth of tannerite and like you said, some gas. Why go through the trouble of getting someone with their BATFE card to get you explosives when you can have a binary dropped at your doorstep.

Far as I know, they're still looking into Boebert. Salon had an article about her not claiming her husband's oil/gas contracts on her income statement. Salon also posted an article about her letting a <10 year old play alone in a room with a loaded gun.

Just tons of stuff to hate about my congresscritter (her district is cheap and I get to vote against her).

E: 8 y/o with a probably loaded AR on the wall.

If there is a god (there isn't) she might get redistricted out of a job. One of the redistricting maps merges her district with a blue district that would more or less make her go away.

Of course, then she would just get to do the right wing victim grift circuit...

We'll see, Colorado politics outside the front range cities is red state as gently caress. I'd like to see the pie sliced here so every district gets a little piece of Denver, just to piss off the gop. But redistricting is handled differently here than other places. Gonna be interesting to see what happens if they gerrymander her rear end out of a district.

Boebert will likely keep her seat because lovely congresspersons still succeed at one vital thing: drawing attention to their districts, for good and/or ill.

Never forget that a not-insignificant reason a lot of people voted for Trump was because "the pundits all say he's gonna lose but hey what the hell I'll vote for him FOR THE LULZ."

Neither of those are accurate. Trump did not win due to some supposed irony vote, nor is that how brexit passed. I’m sure such people exist in the technical sense, but they were not a significant voting block in either of those two very tight elections, especially for the presidential election when narrowing it down to individual states and counties that mattered most.

Even if you want to pin a Trump win on overconfidence, it would be people simply staying home or voting third party, not switching sides for laughs.

Prior to his death, Gregg Prentice developed and maintained software that electronically tracked donations to the Hillsborough County GOP and supplied data for the organization’s monthly finance reports. None of the other officers knew how to operate Prentice’s software, the party told the the Federal Elections Commission.

https://www.thedailybeast.com/gregg-prentice-anti-mask-florida-election-official-dies-of-covid-and-takes-gop-software-secrets-with-him

quote:

Along with others in the Hillsborough County Election Integrity Committee, Prentice was a vociferous critic of the vaccine, mask mandates, and COVID-prevention measures. He railed against top infectious disease expert Dr. Anthony Fauci, vowing in a Twitter post to “end Faucism.” He also insisted the U.S. needs “more socialist distancing than we do social distancing” and that the pandemic was created to destroy small businesses.

Friend Jason Kimball blames Tampa General Hospital for the 61-year-old’s death, alleging staff “illegally intubated” Prentice the day before he died. During a Sept. 13 Tampa City Council meeting, Kimball requested an investigation be launched. However, members of the City Council denied any wrongdoing or mistreatment from the hospital.

“My public comments are really going to be about Tampa General Hospital,” Kimball said at the council meeting. “There’s a dire situation going on right now... that I don’t think anyone is aware of, and I have firsthand knowledge of it. They’re intubating everyone entering Tampa General Hospital as a first line of action. They’re using fatality-treatment protocol, and I think that the city council really needs to do an investigation... They’re intubating people illegally... When you call 911 and you go to that hospital, you’re going into a bad situation.”

Councilman John Dingfelder quickly shut down Kimball’s comment, blasting it as “dangerous.”
