Missouri Couple Who Pointed Guns At Protesters Will Speak At RNC | Talking Points Memo

I hope someone has the good sense to make certainly said artillery pieces are unloaded - chambers empty, and no magazines.

Haha I saw a video a couple days ago, maybe even here, where there was a gun class and people were told to unload and in trying to clear the chamber this one guy’s slide made a round discharge. The bullet went harmlessly downrange and the guy hadn’t done anything wrong, and having it pointed in a safe direction was a huge thing that was right, but I have to say these people don’t have those skills pretty obviously. But I imagine they’ll be at home, so they’ll only kill a five-figure Chinese vase or each other, which would be a shame, because you can’t replace those vases. : (

I sense there’s a frantic re-tooling going on after seeing how polished the DNC production was. From the looks of it, I’m not sure they’ve even settled on whether they’re going to use ZOOM or SKYPE. Have they even decided on a location yet? It will be three days of non-stop Trump praising so I guess that’s all they really need to plan for.

Hard to believe they would do this, but why stop there?

All the way from Central Park… Amy Cooper!

With fire season now fully upon us out West, perhaps this would be a good time for Trump to announce plans to upgrade “fire rakes” he claims will stop big conflagrations by equipping them with high capacity magazines.

So O/T but I don’t think Emily Post covers this etiquette question in the time of COVID.

I just had a service guy here to do his yearly check-up on something, was it proper of me to wear a mask, inside my own house?

So are we going to play Where In the World Is the RNC Convention Now?

It sounds like they sum up the party well. From all accounts he’s an unethical ambulance chaser, they’re stupid, they’re afraid of black people and ‘the poors’, they’re heavily armed and likely under the influence of multiple ‘medications’.

So it’s 100% the ‘aggrieved’ (read guilty of being an asshole, but without consequences) white people convention. Awesome.

They remind me of a “nice” couple my wife and I met at the dog park. We bonded over our Westies and became friendly. THey invited us over for drinks one night and it went from fun and casual to “Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?” in a few short hours…

LUNACY! or AUDACIOUS CANDOR! …

Clearly the GOP wants these people to be emblematic of the REPUBLICAN PARTY

  • a Confederacy of AGGRESSIVE HATEFUL BIGOTS!

a few examples:

The McCloskeys filed suits over small neighborhood issues, including accusing neighbors of breaking neighborhood rules by allowing an unmarried gay couple to live there. The McCloskeys appealed all the way to the state Supreme Court.

The couple also reportedly sued a synagogue near their home for setting up beehives on their property to harvest honey for Rosh Hashanah celebrations. Mark McCloskey allegedly smashed the beehives, and the children in the synagogue cried the next day, the congregation’s rabbi told the Post-Dispatch.

In 1996, the McCloskeys also filed two lawsuits in the same day — one against a neighborhood association and another against a dog breeder who allegedly sold them a German shepherd without documentation — saying in the deposition that he “saved gas” by making only one trip.

The original script had Sandy Dennis beat Elizabeth Taylor to death with a fireplace poker and bury her in the garden. Preview audiences liked it too much for the producer’s comfort.
