She probably had her question scripted and practiced it a few times since there are large words involved.

If AOC asks a great question, it has to involve limes and coconuts.

...an AR-15, which is one of the most common weapons used in mass shootings...
Now that "mass shootings" has be defined down to meaning 4 or more people, based on festivities in cities like Chicago, I suspect the most used weapon is a handgun.
OK, OK, she said "one of the most common weapons". No doubt, if you total up the 100 most common weapons used in mass shootings, AR-15 style rifles *are* on the list. So in a lawyerly way, she is not wrong. But she still is a dipswitch.

Besoeker, If you go to the full tweet it trails back to this:
🚨🚨Joe Biden @JoeBiden
is dying and final preparations are being made for him.🚨🚨
He was supposed to leave Delaware today, but his health has deteriorated.
Due to his accelerated decline, Joe Biden has cancelled nine trips that were scheduled for the next two weeks.
Biden is expected to leave his beach home in Rehoboth, Delaware on Tuesday afternoon and arrive back at the White House at 2:30 pm, although that could be changed to Wednesday, July 24th. It all depends on how much he continues to decline…
Biden has been dying, and he is dying rather quickly. This is why Kamala flew to Delaware today and why Biden’s White House Chief of Staff Jeff Zients called for an emergency meeting and call with all White House staff today.
The medical emergency Joe Biden had on July 5th, 2024 on Air Force One that I exclusively reported almost killed him. His time left is limited.
Biden’s staffers and his family are holding on for dear life right now.
Kamala Harris @KamalaHarris
will be made President very soon….

We're gonna have a state funeral as an October surprise, so heads of state can visit and Kammie can do her solemn bit, and become the incumbent before the election steal.
Bets?

/\ Not taking that bet. The Bidens have likely been given an 'end of life' timeline.
#12
Procopius2k do you really want Kamlamadingdong running things? This would only play into the Democrat's favor. She would be the first female president and run as an incumbent. Imagine the sympathy vote she would get, not to mention all the women and soyboys who would vote for her.

Kamala Harris actually doesn't have a single bound delegate, as the New York Times explains, because not one primary voter cast a ballot or caucus slip for her. But Harris has collected enough pledges from state delegations to win the nomination if they follow through ... assuming delegates don't change their minds

Considering the Friday zoom call with major donors was a huge bust, I'm not sure how many super delegates will line up behind Kamala. They may be planning on running her as no one will win against Trump and then put her out to political pasture.
#18
Don't just bookmark things, screenshot them. Many relevant web links will disappear very soon if they haven't already gone. This also happened shortly after 9/11.
#25
If Biden dies the Democrats will probably turn the funeral into a pep rally (as they did with the Paul Wellstone Funeral) and disgust the country (as they did with the Paul Wellstone Funeral).
[AceOfSpades] Why would you stack the panel with reliable leftwing partisans if you weren't trying to rig the report?
Mayorkas Selects Former DHS Secretary Janet Napolitano for "Independent Security Review" of Trump Assassination Attempt
By Eric Lendrum
July 23, 2024
Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas announced his intention to launch an "independent security review" of the attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump, which will consist of a four-person panel that includes one of his predecessors, Janet Napolitano.
According to the Washington Free Beacon, Mayorkas released a statement on Sunday announcing the creation of the panel. Mayorkas had previously worked for Napolitano while she served as DHS Secretary for the entirety of Barack Obama's first term; she had previously served as Governor of Arizona, and went on to serve as President of the University of California system after her DHS tenure.
Napolitano has long been an opponent of President Trump and his policies. In 2017, she filed a lawsuit against the Trump Administration over its immigration policies. She later claimed on a conference call in 2020 that Trump had "no plan for how to deal with the issues of structural racism that we have seen erupt around the country," and accused Trump of "throwing gasoline on the fire" after a peaceful protest at the United States Capitol on January 6th, 2021.
Another member of the panel will be Mark Filip, a former Department of Justice (DOJ) official who was part of the sweetheart deal that was ultimately granted to convicted sex offender and financier Jeffrey Epstein back in 2008. Also on the panel are Fran Townsend, a former national security official during the George W. Bush Administration, and former University of Maryland police superintendent David Mitchell.
[JustTheNews] House Administration Subcommittee on Oversight Chairman Barry Loudermilk on Monday released an additional 4,000+ hours of United States Capitol Police (USCP) footage of the January 6 riot.
Loudermilk's committee is working on a new investigation into the Capitol riot, after he claimed that the work of the Democrat-led Select Committee on the January 6 Capitol Attack was so tainted that the final report should be invalidated.
The congressman previously accused the select committee of cherry-picking its evidence in their investigation, and said some of the pieces of evidence were "flat out lies."
"My subcommittee’s investigation has one goal: Ensure the American people get the complete unvarnished truth about January 6th," Loudermilk said in a social media post on Monday. "Today’s video footage release brings us one critical step closer to accountability and accomplishing that important mission."
The new footage can be found on the video streaming platform Rumble.
Loudermilk also previously claimed that the original select committee had withheld crucial evidence on the riot from the public.
OK, Which Democrats are going to prison?
18 US Code...1519 and other US Codess...
Basically ...
Whoever knowingly alters, destroys, mutilates, conceals, covers up, falsifies, or makes a false entry in any record, document, or tangible object with the intent to impede, obstruct, or influence the investigation or proper administration of any matter within the jurisdiction of any department or agency of the United States or any case...., shall be fined under this title, imprisoned not more than 20 years, or both.

It will be nice to go back to not knowing the identity of the Director of the Secret Service. The sooner that Cheatle goes back to chasing Dorito burglars the better.

We have a fundamentally unserious government. Agency after agency has "one mission, but..." is more interested in doing things that have absolutely NOTHING to do with whatever their "one mission" is supposed to be. Secret Service is about guarding Presidents and other high-value entities, not "righting the wrongs of patriarchal society" or other such nonsense. Ditto for armed forces--their mission is to break stuff and win wars, not social engineering. CDC? *Diseases*, not "gun control" or "poor diet".

I think this is what you were referring to, swksvolFF:
NEW - Whistleblowers tell me law enforcement personnel were in fact STATIONED to the roof the day of the Trump rally, but abandoned it, citing the heat. They also say law enforcement were supposed to be patrolling the building, but opted to stay inside instead pic.twitter.com/aIVNSPHUF6
[GEO.TV] S Vice President Kámala Harris Former Oakland mayor Willie Brown's former mistress, then a senatrix from California former 2020 Dem presidential hopeful, and Joe Biden's wing nut... on Monday won the crucial backing of Democratic heavyweight Nancy San Fran Nan Pelosi Congresswoman-for-Life from the San Francisco Bay Area, born into a family of professional politicians. On-again-off-again Speaker of the House. It's not her fault when they lose, but it's her accomplishment when they win. Noted for her heavily botoxed grimace and occasional senior... uhhh... moments... to lead the party against Donald Trump ...The Hero of Butler, Pennsylvania... in November after Joe The Big Guy Biden ...46th president of the U.S. Too old and senile to be prosecuted, not too old and senile to set national policy... 's stunning exit from the 2024 race.
As the endorsements stacked up, the 59-year-old Harris made her first public appearance since Biden's announcement in a ceremony at the White House where she warmly praised the outgoing president's "unmatched" achievements.
But while she steered away from any triumphalism, Harris will now feel she has one hand on the prize after securing former US House speaker Pelosi's support.
"With immense pride and limitless optimism for our country's future, I endorse Vice President Kamala Harris for President of the United States," Pelosi, 84, said on X.
"I have full confidence that she will lead us to victory in November."
A flood of Democratic leaders have backed Harris as the party's new candidate, building momentum for a lightning-fast coronation despite some calls to show transparency with an open primary.
Biden, 81, endorsed Harris -- who is the first female, Black and South Asian vice president in US history -- as he dropped out of the race on Sunday in the culmination of a crisis triggered by a disastrous performance at a debate with Trump.
Then came endorsements from former president Bill Clinton ...former Democratic president of the U.S. Bill was the second U.S. president to be impeached, the first to deny that oral sex was sex, the first to have difficulty with the definition of the word is... and a host of politicians, but notably ex-president Barack Obama My friends, we live in the greatest nation in the history of the world. I hope you'll join with me as we try to change it... has held off so far.

They're throwing in the towel if they nominate Harris. The more that woman campaigns, the more votes she will lose. It isn't just that she says so many incredibly stupid things, it's the sound of her voice. She's been all over the TV lately. I've only heard little snippets as I walk through the room and it makes me cringe.

That's a Classic.
'Space' is also brutal to listen to.
"Deepfake voice scams: AI can clone voices, allowing scammers to impersonate family members or authority figures in phone calls, making the "grandparent scam" even more convincing."
There is a horror game, and IIUC, it listens and learns the players' communications, and if it kills a member it mimics that now dead player's talking in order to lure other players.
How much was just transferred over from the Biden-Harris campaign chest?
[IsraelTimes] US Vice President Harris’s team has raised more than $81 million in the 24-hour period since President Joe The Big Guy Biden ...46th president of the U.S. Former Senator-for-Life from Delaware, an example of the kind of top-notch Washington intellect to be found in the World's Greatest Deliberative Body.... announced his decision to quit the presidential race.
The massive fundraising haul represents the largest 24-hour fundraising sum by either party in the 2024 presidential campaign.
Trump reported raising more than $50 million in the 24-hour period after his felony conviction in the New York hush money trial. Biden reported $38 million in the four days after his disastrous debate performance.
Harris’s new total features donations from hundreds of thousands of first-time donors, the campaign says.

I'll go with withheld donations over last two weeks, which isn't that impressive but Kamela will yuck it up because she is a dimwit.
What do you think democrats, your democracy and vote, your value. Your vote didn't count because they lied to you, now your vote doesn't count because Money Talks and Bullshit Walks.

The coverage will be full court - why not liking Kamela is racist and sexist, Brandon health watch, and with the withdrawing from the public uber DEI hire Cheeto, expect no more assassination coverage until they feel they can frame it as olde man Trump talking about the distant past.
What a delightful thought: actually enforcing good manners on the terrorist-enablers.
[JustTheNews] House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., warned that politicians who interrupt Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's upcoming address to Congress could be arrested.
"I want you to know that there’s a number of Democrats ...every time you hear the phrase white people, white supremacy,white anything but paint, you're listening to a Democrat. Ask him/her/it to reimagine something for you; they do that a lot, though not well. They can hear a dog whistle a mile or two away. They invented the spoils system and Tammany Hall, and inspired the addition of the word (Thomas) Nasty to the English language. They want to stop continental drift and repeal the law of unintended side effects... in the House who have said they’re going to boycott the event ... and then some others are going to protest," Johnson said at a Republican Jewish Coalition event at the Republican National Convention earlier this week.
"Listen, we’re going to have extra sergeants-at-arms on the floor, and if anybody gets out of hand, the speaker of the House will bang the gavel; we’re going to arrest people if we have to do it," he continued. "We’re going to get the message out."
Netanyahu is scheduled to address Congress on Wednesday, July 24. Some Democratic politicians have said they will boycott the event.
According to Axios, Capitol Police will boost security for the event.
The Washington Times reports that some members boycotting the speech include Independent Sen. Bernie Sanders
...The only first openly Socialist member of the U.S. Senate. Sanders was Representative-for-Life from Vermont until moving to the Senate for the rest of his life in 2006, assuming the seat vacated by Jim Jeffords. He ran for the 2016 nomination for president, to be cheated out of it by Hillary Clinton, then went back to being an Independent socialist, waiting for 2020 to roll around... and Rep. Pramila Jayapal, D-Wash.
[FoxNews] U.S. Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle resigned Tuesday in the wake of mounting pressure following the assassination attempt on former President Trump, Fox News confirmed.
Fox News reviewed the letter Cheatle sent to the U.S. Secret Service Tuesday morning, just a day after taking bipartisan heat during testimony before the House Oversight Committee Monday and over a week after a would-be assassin Thomas Crooks attempted to take the life of Trump at his rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, on July 13.
"To the Men and Women of the U.S. Secret Service, The Secret Service’s solemn mission is to protect our nation’s leaders and financial infrastructure," Cheatle wrote in a letter to the agency. "On July 13th, we fell short on that mission."
#1
"As your Director, I take full responsibility for the security lapse,"
A lapse is a missed detail like leaving a gate unlocked or failing to set an alarm. When the person you are protecting gets shot in the head, that is total mission failure.
"I love this agency, our mission, and the great men and woken who sacrifice so much every day,"
Did she actually write "woken" instead of "women"? I cannot find the actual text of her letter online.
Given the impression she made at the hearing, I wonder what she was like to work for when she was at Pepsi.
#3
Strangely, Cheetos are a Pepsico product too. Pepsico, with its long history of I Hate America upper leadership remarks.
High ranking member of government thought she was a perfect fit for a high director position. I'll guess she was insufferable but with a custom built whisper network so you had to take it. She obviously doesn't care (nor does the entire DEI theory) about her charges, basically taking someone like me and having me play center on the Chief's O-line during the Super Bowl.
#4
She's had an opportunity to examine the preliminary reporting, which she avoided discussing yesterday. My guess is she's running to get off the drop zone before the really heavy drops arrive. She'll be in contact with Morgan & Morgan very soon.
I see a possible Jeffrey Epstein solution looming.
#5
I hope Republicans don't let her off the hook just because she resigned. It's way too easy for her to say it was a "lapse" and then think that she can walk away from it. The assassination attempt and her role in it need to be thoroughly investigated and if criminal charges are appropriate she needs to stand trial.

Should the Democrats still control the Senate? Last I recall, there were only 48 Democrats, but three independents also voted with them, giving them something they could call a majority. Is that still true?
