Is there a reason Biden frequently uses slang and vernacular from the late 1800s/very early 1900s despite being late silent gen/early boomer?

It's very strange.

His father was born in 1915 and his mother in 1917. He did have a severe stutter growing up apparently so maybe he just hanged out with his parents a lot when not playing football or maybe he does just like to LARP.

They can't cancel Kyle out of a job. He's been legally cleared and firing him is a lawsuit waiting to happen. Kyle gets a paycheck one way or another and the worst thing commies can do is REE with a boycott. Ask Goya how the left's boycott of their brand went.

Under Obama-era labor regulations, aka Operation Choke Point, "reputational harm" is now a legitimate reason to refuse to do business with or hire somebody, and that definition has been expanded to "harming my reputation as a socially responsible company." Besides, proving someone didn't hire you for an actionable reason is extremely difficult in court, even when it's literal, unironic racism or sex discrimination.

Kyle is unhirable in dystopian office jobs at a stage when he can choose his career.
He is being forced down the plumbing, welding, or electrician route at the perfect time in life, while the jobs he's excluded from are regressing toward the barista mean in salary.
He'll be a millionaire by 40.

If Kyle doesn't take gun sponsorships or become a tactical instructor he's an idiot.

Six shots fired, two kills 100% accuracy under duress is astonishing.

That's like special forces tier. A sane society and military would fast track this kid for the rangers but our military is too busy putting on drag shows and buying period panties for biological men.

He missed one shot versus the jump kicking nigger, but recall he managed to clear a malfunction and out-draw a false-surrendering Jew before bicep blasting him.

So, very impressive shooting and restraint, which we are unlikely to see again in the future, especially if the defender is in a blue state with a Soros DA. After all, if you're going to go to prison or the chair even for perfect self defense, you might as well take out as many commies as you can before your mags run dry and your knife breaks. Every one you send to hell is one less pedo, domestic violencer or drunk-driving thief left to threaten your community.

Just a reminder that Daniel Perry had an AK shoved in his face in Texas, was railroaded by a Soros DA and an austin jury that violated instructions, and is STILL not pardoned despite promises from Abbott.
Red state doesn't matter when the "GOP" are such cucks they bend you over for soros DA's under their jurisdiction.

Yes, and this is a massive problem that will eventually explode into a messy situation. To quote myself:

I'll repeat myself - this kind of shit is bad news. Making it so obvious that the system is corrupted is only going to end with people rejecting it, the law lives in its accepted impartiality and authority. It is the belief in impartiality and fairness that leads people to cede to the law. Without it, people will seek their own systems or justice, rough as they may be.

Ask yourself, would you submit yourself to a court, a judge, a prosecutor that has declared you to be an inhuman enemy on the basis of your politics/religion/race? When you know they will use the law and process only as a weapon to harm, not serve you? What would you do when the system that claims to be for your benefit sharpens the knife for your throat?

These are the questions that are being posed to vast numbers of people every time a DA drags a innocent through the courts or lets a killer free on the sake of race or politics. For now, for most, this mostly on only a semi-conscious level but that will last only so long. Eventually it will be asked openly...and then what do you think will happen?

Or:
This kind of blatant political prosecution does nothing but undermine the legitimacy of the justice system and threaten the foundation of modern society. The very idea of a social contract can only exist where the mechanisms of law are neutral, in as much as human nature will allow. If the populace does not trust these systems, they will not submit themselves to that authority and these political actors will have no one but themselves to blame.

Its going to end very badly. Eventually.

In a hypothetical defensive shoot, I would certainly NOT hang around in any blue city.
Ritttenhouse, Perry, and Penny have shown me what happens to good samaritans who waste criminals.
Btw, remember to go to the range weekly and keep replacement barrels for your EDC.

Which only makes it worse, because it creates a situation where there is no worse outcome to serve as a deterrent to violence. If the feds think you are a threat and you literally have no way to negotiate violence becomes the only option. They will get the right wing extremists they want one way or the other, so you have nothing to lose.

Remember Seth Rich? Well, some court ordered the FBI to release others documents.

The FBI must provide information from Seth Rich's laptop computer to a Texas man, a federal judge ruled on Nov. 28.

The bureau's attempt to challenge an earlier order to produce the information failed to persuade U.S. District Judge Amos Mazzant, who said the bureau's assertions of exemptions to a federal law were unsupported.

Judge Mazzant, appointed under President Barack Obama, ordered the FBI in September 2022 to hand over information from Mr. Rich's computer to the Texas man, who had asked for it under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA).

The FBI claimed that Mr. Rich's family members had a privacy interest in the information that outweighed the public interest, a claim Judge Mazzant rejected. But the bureau said in a motion for reconsideration that he did not appear to weigh exemptions in FOIA that would allow the agency to keep withholding the information, and the judge placed a hold on his ruling until he weighed in on the motion.

In the new ruling—which came more than a year after the FBI motion—Judge Mazzant said the FBI did not meet the requirements for the exemptions.

Yup. Maybe fifteen years ago, if the police were looking for someone I knew, I would just assume he'd probably done something really bad, and if not, well, there was some legitimate reason they were looking for him, and trusted the system's fairness. Today? Fuck no.

Special Counsel Jack Smith demanded information on Twitter users who liked or retweeted former President Donald Trump’s tweets leading up to the January 6 riot, according to a heavily redacted search warrant and other documents released Monday.

Smith’s comprehensive search warrant sought the 2024 Republican presidential primary front-runner’s search history, direct messages, and “content of all tweets created, drafted, favorited/liked, or retweeted” by his account from October 2020 to January 2021.

The special counsel also demanded a list of all devices used to log into Trump’s then-Twitter, now X account, as well as information on users who interacted with the then-president in the months leading up to Jan. 6, 2021, the court filings show.

Among the information Smith sought were lists of all Twitter users who “favorited or retweeted” Trump’s tweets, “as well as all tweets that include the username associated with the account” in “mentions” or “replies.”

The special counsel also requested a list of every user Trump “followed, unfollowed, muted, unmuted, blocked, or unblocked” and a list of users who took any of the same actions with Trump’s account during the aforementioned timeframe.

“There is no benign or reasonable justification for that demand,” wrote former FBI agent/whistleblower Steve Friend on X.

Smith demanded the information as part of the special counsel “investigation into Trump’s actions leading up to the Jan. 6, 2021, riot at the US Capitol.” In August, Smith formally lodged a four-count indictment against Trump, accusing him of a massive criminal conspiracy to reverse the results of the 2020 election.

The court released the warrant after multiple media organizations filed a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request to obtain the document.

Eight of the search warrant’s 14 pages are completely redacted, the New York Post reported.

The warrant included a nondisclosure order instructing the company not to notify Trump about the search.

The social media giant objected to the order, arguing unsuccessfully that it was a violation of the First Amendment and the Stored Communications Act.

The DOJ argued back that notifying Trump would result in “statutorily cognizable harm.”

“For what appears to be the first time in its history, Twitter Inc. (‘Twitter’) has filed a motion to vacate or modify an order that it not disclose the existence of a search warrant,” Smith said, adding that “there is reason to believe notification to the former president, a sophisticated actor with an expansive platform, would result in a statutorily cognizable harm.”

X ultimately complied with the warrant but was fined $350,000 for failing to meet Smith’s demands by deadline, according to the Federalist.

Trump’s legal team has since appealed the order, calling it “unconstitutional,” and has threatened to take the matter to the U.S. Supreme Court.
