One, such a war would be fought because Hillary embarrassed herself with the bungled Russian Reset, which we now know was always a bullshit fake-out to trick Russia into lowering its guard. Two, how would such a war have played out then? Russia hadn't yet hardened its financial assets yet, so SWIFT sanctions would have hit it harder than it did in reality, the US military wasn't 100% woke (but probably at 50% because of SHARP) and would have bum rushed the Black Sea, and Europe's economy mostly functioned at that time. Would have been like the current war that NATO totally isn't involved in, pinky promises, or would Russia have been turned into the next Iraq?

Oh yeah Donald Trump probably SAVED Russia simply by being an obstacle that stalled the attack for four years.

The should erect a statue in his honor, something like a giant boulder carved in the shape of his head.

I wonder if Korea's Kim misses him? They seemed like they were fated to be buddies.

A WA state judge has just lifted the ban on "high capacity" magazines. No article yet but it's already making the rounds among WA firearms enthusiasts. Gun control advocates BTFO once again.

Edit: Statement from the leftist AG whining about it. There's some info about other cases that are making their way through the system. https://www.atg.wa.gov/news/news-re...day-s-ruling-washington-v-gator-s-custom-guns

“The Attorney General’s Office will file an emergency motion to the State Supreme Court seeking a stay, or halt, to this ruling. If that emergency stay is not granted, firearm dealers will be able to again start offering magazines with the capacity to hold more than 10 rounds of ammunition for sale. These magazines are frequently used in mass shootings. Washington’s law prohibits the sale, manufacture, and distribution of high-capacity magazines, but does not prohibit ownership of those magazines.”

While Ferguson’s office will appeal to the State Supreme Court, there is for now a narrow window open immediately, allowing gun stores to again sell high capacity ammunition.

This is one thing that has me scratching my head. A four-year term or two seems to inevitably age the person a decade or
more. Probably high* stress and lousy hours. Except Trump. He was fine, and has not had any obvious issues. Looks like he dropped some weight (assumed intentionally) afterwards though. Is this his idea of a good time or something?

*As in probably Karman line level high.

After dealing with NYC real estate and the inevitable mob issues for decades, do you really think handling D.C. is beyond him?

Where can I get some of this "high capacity ammunition"? Is it at the same store that sells "magazine clips" and "the shoulder thing that goes up"?

You forgot the fully automatic assault rounds.

And it's been stayed. AG office working overtime to deny legal gun owners their Constitutional rights.

Update:

A man accused of setting a fire outside Bernie Sanders’ office stayed at an area hotel for weeks

The man charged with setting a fire outside the Vermont office of U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders had been staying at an area hotel for nearly two months and was spotted outside Sanders’ office the day before and the day of the fire, according to court paperwork filed by a federal agent.

Shant Michael Soghomonian, 35, who was previously from Northridge, California, entered the building on Friday and went to Sanders’ third-floor office where security video showed him dumping a liquid on the bottom of the door and setting it afire with a lighter, according to the special agent with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives.

The building’s interior suffered some damage from the fire and sprinklers that doused the area with water, but no one was hurt. Sanders, an independent, was not in the office at the time. Seven employees working in the office at the time were unharmed and able to evacuate.

The agent who investigated spotted what appeared to be the remains of a canister of lighter fluid and a red cap on the floor near the office door.

Soghomonian was arrested Sunday on a charge of using fire to damage a building used in interstate commerce, according to the U.S. attorney for Vermont. He had been staying at the Inn at Burlington in South Burlington for several weeks, an employee told authorities, according to the affidavit.

When police knocked on the hotel room door, they heard a male saying he was getting dressed, according to an application to search the hotel room and a vehicle with New York plates. Officers then heard what sounded like the man dragging heavy items near the door. Officers got a key and attempted to open the door but it was blocked, according to the court document. They forced the door open and arrested Soghomonian without incident, they said.

Sanders said in a statement that he is “deeply grateful to the swift, professional, coordinated efforts of local, state, and federal law enforcement in response to the fire” and thankful that none of the people in the office were hurt.

The motive remained unclear. It was not immediately known if Soghomonian had a lawyer, and an initial court appearance had not been set, officials said. A phone message left with the Chittenden County public defenders’ office was not immediately returned. Soghomonian was being held at the Northwest State Correctional Facility in St. Albans.

The crime carries a maximum penalty of 20 years imprisonment and a fine of up to $250,000.

The case was investigated by police departments in Burlington, Shelburne and Williston; Vermont State Police; the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives; and U.S. Capitol Police, officials said.
