His butler said he would have his steak so well done it was “rocking on the plate.” With ketchup of course.

Remember a few years back, there was a political assassination in Japan committed by a guy who used a short samurai sword? Maybe a katana? That is really upclose and personal. But easy to conceal in a pants leg…
How are you going to fight tyranny or zombie apocalypse with this kind of laws…why do Japanese insist on common sense.
Under Japan’s firearms laws, the only guns permitted for sale are shotguns and air rifles – handguns are outlawed. But getting them is a long and complicated process that requires effort – and lots of patience.
To qualify for a firearm license, potential buyers must attend an all-day class, pass a written test and a shooting-range test with an accuracy of at least 95%. They also must undergo a mental health evaluation and drug tests, as well as a rigorous background check – including a review of their criminal record, personal debt, involvement in organized crime and relationships with family and friends.
After obtaining a gun, the owner must register their weapon with police and provide details of where their gun and ammunition is stored, in separate, locked compartments. The gun must be inspected by the police once a year, and gun owners must retake the class and sit an exam every three years to renew their license.
The restrictions have kept the number of private gun owners in Japan extremely low.
In 2017, only an estimated 377,000 guns were held by civilians in Japan, in a country of 125 million people. That was 0.25 guns per 100 people, compared to about 120 guns per 100 people in the US, according to the Small Arms Survey, a project of the Graduate Institute of International and Development Studies in Geneva.

The Georgia GOP likely courted Walker, based on name-recognition alone. This is the only reason TFG ever had a chance. And the only reason they picked Walker.
But, as with Sarah Palin, they’ve found themselves in a barrel of pickles.
Sour pickles.

A few years back, we had the opportunity to see the Zombies on a Saturday. On that day, I fell ill with the flu. It wasn’t that awful, but I’m glad we didn’t travel the 90 minutes to the show.

It really helps that Warnock is so very good at politics and campaigning.

If they’re aimed at American tourists they might be. The Japanese approach to red meat in general can be off-putting for non-Japanese. I have a family member living there so I’m somewhat familiar with it. Cuts of beef are thin sliced and very fatty by US norms. Usually small portions in the overall meal too, which Trump obviously wouldn’t like. Abe did well taking him to a hamberder joint.

ETA, I survived my own TBI several years back, so I keep up to date on these sorts of things.

It’s half the polling #, Warnock leads by 4 in a Democratic firm poll.
The undecided (6%) bothers me, but not a whole lot.

It was reported that the assassin had a grudge against Abe. I thought, “Holy crap! Can you imagine the number of people who hold grudges against Trump for all the times he stiffed them?!”
Just got on, but I guess people saw the Wisconsin SC decision? No ballot drop boxes allowed.

That baseline was already demolished with his bleach, lysol, and UV ray advice. After that fiasco he gave up his covid briefings for running super spreader rallies. He was seriously unwell before all that but lucidity has been out of his reach for years. Now he seems more like a trapped, feral animal … on his good days.

There’s a lot of speculation regarding Abe.
Trump though…
