The following was from a contributor to Quora: When me and Hunny read about the assassination attempt, we both concluded: Goddamn amateur. It is the American gun fetishism and ineptness with guns which saved Donald Trump. Thomas Crooks chose AR-15 (a military grade assault rifle based weapon) as his weapon and he used iron sights. That is a sign of a) crass amateur and b) weapon fetish. Anyone who has been through his or her country’s suck knows an assault rifle is not an assassination weapon. It is a combat weapon. AK-47 can be at best called a “bullet sprayer” - it is really that inaccurate. While AR-15 is far more accurate, it is by no means neither a hunting weapon nor an assassination weapon. It is a reservist rifle. His modus operandi showed crass amateurishness. He shot five shots in rapid succession. This is how you use an autoloading rifle if you are facing advancing enemy - not if you want to assassinate someone. When this issue was acute to me, my instructors told me that if you shoot aimed shots, you aim well and have a breath between each shot - not just point the gun at the target and spray bullets. This is a sign his cool broke. He didn’t have nerves to aim each shot.

I’ve explained why Nikki Haley would be the best VP choice politically and electorally… and Two Scoops would have to be self- destr/dumb to do it. She’s under the thumbs of oligarchy, not Trump personally. But there’s someone else my wife says could fit the bill, because he could control her and the oligarchs might fear her. Gimme long odds Two Scoops will choose Tulsi Gabbard? https://lnkd.in/gRhVi7Rj
