Engine fire, followed by engine explosion, followed by loss of control.
There’s a reason they don’t build engines into the wings (along with the flight controls) anymore.

TFF. Of course Trumps SC will rule that presidents don't have immunity. That's what Trump wants. 5D Chess. Trump setting precedent again. Thats why he's practically begging them to Jail him. That's why he suckered them into investigating his taxes. That'd why he suckered them into raiding MAL. Its all going to expose and prove the criminality and treason of the Clintons and Bidens and Obamas. Do youse guys think they paid taxes on the kickbacks for their treason of selling the US out? The convictions of Trump will be erased on Appeal as will his sham Impeachments. Connect the Dots Trump has his sights on Killery and Zero. He wants to go on Mt Rushmore. Trust the Plan. Trust the Military. It's Coming.

Staemfitters Local 638 was my stepdads union,mine was Dockbuilders 1456.I meet Trump when we drove the piles for the NY TIMES building in Queens,in 1995-6.He jumped up on the Manitowoc and threw the lever to start the piledriving hammer.I met him again in 2003 when we were driving the piles for Trump Tower on the West side of Manhattan. The crane operator tried to walk the crane with the hammer way up in the leads and flipped leads and boom up and over the crane,it was a gigantic mess ! Trump came by to see it himself,all he said was," Thank God nobody got hurt ." I think NYC Unions support of Democrats is done.People are hurting and fed up.It's about time. I’m with the operating engineers, Local 15, New York City.. I’m working two different locations, South St., Seaport seawall job and uptown on York Avenue, dock builders on both locations, great guys have always had a lot of respect for them. Do you know brother? 1456 Forman. 95% of the guys that I work with are Republicans even the laborers Local 731. I can’t stand when my local tells us who to vote for, I tell them to mind their own business :-) and I also years ago stopped paying into PAC… Most of us feel the same way. Maybe now they’ll stop publicly supporting the Democrats. ' This ^^^ Most of the general public is not aware that most/many union members in the trades vote Republican. Bullschit Steve, most union members do support the Republicans IME - they support Republican ideas, support democratic candidates. Wasn't trade guys but mill guys in the USW. They love the R idea but vote D and that's not based on conjecture but face to face conversations I've had with them. Take the label off - talk the ideas of conservatism they're all for it. Ask who they vote for - D. I belong to Local 798 and I know for a fact that our Local supported Trump All of the labors and teamsters that worked pipelines supported Trump In fact our Business Manager was on Fox with Hannity wearing a Trump cap At the time I was in Local 47 - well I think technically it was like USW 2-00047 or some such thing in 2021/2022. P&G Green Bay. Converting Machine 5 (old ones). Josh Schott who was the Union Pres said "We don't endorse or care who you vote for, we're here for the people and wages for the workers inside the plant". Which I believe, great. (I took about 9 months off from what I've done most of my life and went to work in the mill at this time. Sabbatical if you will) Guys loved the Republican ideas - but they voted for Biden. I'm not saying all did or don't but EOD, the talk about presidents came down to voting for Biden, even tho talking of hunting/shooting/money/time off were all aligned with conservative ideas. I believe they felt that they had to vote D to preserve the wage that allowed them to live their conservative lifestyle. Just my experience - not saying it's everyone's or iron clad.

In the last 50 or 60 years, we have turned our backs to Him. Maybe His plan doesn’t include us now. I Doesn’t matter to me, I am saved. I will fight for what is right, and if I die, i know where I’m headed. My Father’s mansion had many rooms. The deep state wants a socialist world where they control all the people and all the money. I grew up in a free America, and as such, I am a threat, and will be among the first to be eliminated. At this point, I am sure this world is no my home. Agreed. Adams wrote many letters to Abigail that document just what you have stated about the foundation of the country. In one such letter, when the we had roughly 3M citizens, Adams wrote that "millions" would be praying for protection over the British. The assumption was overwhelmingly FOR Christians out numbering non believers. My how comfort brings arrogance and self-riotousness.

Re: 357 Magnum just about dead
HawkI
Yesterday at 07:02 PM
A 357 Magnum is probably as good as it gets for self defense against people. It’s not the cartridge it’s the guns that are chamber for it. That’s probably already been said but I haven’t read through the comments.
A revolver isn’t the most effective option for defense against people these days. As a carry gun for defense against large animals where a revolver still makes a lot of sense as a trail gun a revolver chambered in 44 or 45 caliber makes more sense than a revolver chambered in 357 Magnum. A 44 or 45 caliber revolver can be loaded moderately if needed and makes a nice shooting gun and still be more effective than a loud and obnoxious full throttle 357 Magnum cartridge. Not really. The cartridge itself is what makes it effective, not so much the gun. For example, there are hundreds of thousands of guns out there that shoot both the .357 Mag and the .38 Special, and while the .38 Special is good it doesn't come close to the .357 in effectiveness.....from the same exact gun. I enjoy both the .44 and .45, but the .357 can be loaded "moderately" every bit the same as both of those cartridges. And it's very possible to have less recoil with the .357 when loaded to the same power levels as the others, too, which translates into ease of shooting for your average person. You won't find the cartridge capacity (headstamp) making up nearly as much ground as the package. A 38/44 is perfectly fine handling a 357 style load in 38 case. Matter of fact, just by seating a bullet to the "magnum" case length in the parent case, as long as the GUN is capable of the length, the title on the cartridge does not matter.

Re: Don’t sound good at SCOTUS today

I've been listening to it. Seems there's a lot of sharp questions by every single judge, at both sides. Seems pretty even-handed to me, but I'm not a lawyer, and don't play one on the Fire. It's interesting, certainly. Same. A President can’t have complete immunity, otherwise he could walk up and shoot his opponent in the face. OTOH, there can’t be zero either. Remember when Obama Droned a 16 YO US citizen? When he was illegally running guns into mehico? Hopefully SCOTUS can strike a reasonable balance here. But thats what impeachment is for. If impeachment isnt the first step in the process, why even have it at all? Its on the house to bring charges and the senate to try him. You cant just skip it and go straight to the courts. Which is why it says high crime and misdemeanors. Giving full immunity overrides that. Yes, but the process of trying a sitting president is through impeachment. Presidents are immune from criminal action after their term for duties they performed in service as POTUS. That’s how it’s always been. This court case is just a power grab to punish Trump and simultaneously neutering the office of POTUS, thereby streamlining government and removing one more hurdle to pass whatever laws or decrees they have in mind. I get that, but his lawyers keep bringing up impeachment. I understand these payments happened just before he took office. I guess the gray area is the timing and if a sitting president could be gone after due to the alleged interference. That being said, they had 4 years to impeach him for this instance. I guess they kept it in their pocket for the upcoming election. All these different charges on him I'm going crosseyed...but I see through them. BS.

Re: 17hmr good for coyotes?

Yesterday at 06:53 PM
The short answer would be no imo. I hunt with a .17hmr for small game all the time. It wears out rabbits and ground hog size game very well. And I have killed quite a few coyotes with it, but it’s not an optimal choice for them. With a 17 grain polymer tip even less so.

Successful impeachment should be a condition precedent of any criminal charge. That isn’t absolute immunity but it does require an intermediate step that would obviate county prosecutors shutting down the government or influencing the chief executive with threats of prosecution.

' Evidence ^^^ that the general public will never be convinced because they have never been in a lunch shack on a heavy construction jobsite and listened to the conversations. And that's the way it is.
/thread LOL. I grew up on the MN Iron Range, very heavy Union member population, they have voted Democrat for ever and still do. I also worked in the Construction industry most of my adult life and have witnessed first hand the stupidity and the unwavering support these brain dead Union members have for their beloved Union and the Democrat Party. The Arrowhead Region in the NE corner is all mining country and filled with Union voters. This map tells the story. The UAW does the same thing to Michigan. Along with the teachers union.

Re: College Protests

Yesterday at 06:50 PM
Protest of an incident and the harassment of students are two different actions. One is civil assembly protest and free speech the other is strong arm tactics (like spitting on Jewish students) to force students to feel unsafe and chase them out of institutions they have every right to attend.
Lawlessness begets Lawlessness. The left has redefined protesting. BLM, George Floyd, those were reported as peaceful protests and assembly, while the cities were burned, cop cars burned, with loss of life and stores looted. Ask a business owner how peaceful they were. That is the lefts definition of a peaceful protest, when all hell by the mob breaks lose in a Dem run city and law abiding citizens are the ones punished. As far as Im concerned this is leftist on leftist and their golem has turned. Let them spit each other.
