In his defense, .22s have killed a lot of people and almost worked there, but for a secret service agent being thorough in his job.

But man would the world be a better place if Hinkley was more dedicated to his craft.

The near miss on Truman by the Puerto Rican nationalists is fascinating. If they’d simply waited for him to cross the street it would have been minimal security, instead two guys tried to fight through a guarded building.

Would Bush have been any better taking over for Reagan? Someone coming right out of the CIA may well have gone even harder for supporting right wing terrorists.

I think the 80s dems were at least minimally competent and Bush may have lost in 1984, but maybe not. He was not going to pull in 49 states anyway.

It was more a segue into making a joke about how the scenario proposed remind me of the things that are usually used in user made fan scenarios for Harpoon or Command as an excuse for World War III kicking off vs a crippling of 1980s conservatism.

You gotta be either really oblivious, extremely uncritical of thought, or pretty drat racist at this point to believe cops are gonna see any sort of punishment for shooting anyone outside of something so egregious local cops/attorneys throw them under the bus for potentially ruining a good gig for them.

I love this. The former Washington State coach is suing for discrimination because it's against his faith to get vaccinated. I hope they call the pope to testify against him.

quote:

Pope Francis and the US Conference of Catholic Bishops have stated that all Covid-19 vaccines are morally acceptable and that Catholics have a duty, responsibility or obligation to be vaccinated

So this is a crazy article:

https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2021/10/20/iran-braces-for-sixth-covid-wave-despite-speedy-vaccine-rollout

Essentially, every person in Iran has had covid-19, many twice (or more). They still don't have herd immunity.

Is this because of bad reporting? What is going on over there?

For what it's worth, infection-acquired immunity is generally stronger than vaccine-acquired immunity, but doesn't last as long. Best data I've seen is that you cut your chances of getting reinfected by half if you get a vaccine post-infection. So it could absolutely be the case of people getting infected and reinfected - COVID's a monster that way.

Iran also lies a lot (more than we do :patriot: ) and has a very weak internal press with a reported 39% vaccination rate and a government that doesn't want to talk much about their lovely vaccination rate. Compare that to India's poo poo-rear end government, but had strong media on-the-ground reporting the packed hospitals months ago:

quote:

Nearly everyone in Iran has been infected by the coronavirus at some point during the covid-19 pandemic, and some have caught the virus more than once, but the country still hasn’t achieved herd immunity. Instead, Iran is seeing a punishing new wave of deaths driven by the delta variant.

Along with another article I can't find now that was similar.

This article (https://www.ncr-iran.org/en/news/human-rights/iran-covid-19-crisis-sixth-wave-looming-while-fifth-wave-is-worse-than-reported/) states 460,800 deaths. That is what Iran is willing to admit to.
