I guess the justice department is in on the conspiracy

Another Hunter Shoots/Kills Another Hunter Story

Posted By Rod Kaufman

I don't engage in a "sport" wherein one team doesn't know it's participating.
My observation of hunters are gleaned from personal experience. After a night of observing at Mt Pinos, California, I wake to the sound of gunfire early in the morning. I know it's hunting season so I quickly pack up the scope as others do the same and depart the winding road down the 8000+ foot mountain top. Now, because I know that hunters are in the area and some of them are idiots, I take it slow around the bends and sure enough, one of 'em has his 4x4 parked in the middle of the road while he's standing on the side with a pair of binoculars and a rifle slung over his shoulder. Anybody else driving down the mountain and around that curve probably would have rear-ended his truck. I 've seen that kind of behavior more than once just like I read about hunters shooting illegally in faded light and hitting another hunter wearing proper attire or not...
PS: And before I get all the nonsensical replies that more people die in car accidents, train wrecks and the like, this is another example of a +1 mortality, ie in addition to the latter. Get it?

Another Hunter Shoots/Kills Another Hunter Story

Posted By Rod Kaufman

If this hunter, and others like him, can't tell the difference between a man and a deer, clothed or not, then he or she has no business shooting, period. I hope they at least get the guy for involuntary manslaughter...

From what I've observed on how hunters act and behave while "on the hunt", this doesn't surprise me...

Right Wing Media Goes After Bill Barr!

Posted By Rod Kaufman

"Fox Business host Lou Dobbs, whose conspiratorial program is a favorite of the president, attacked Barr in brutal terms on his show. "For the attorney general of the United States to make that statement — he is either a liar or a fool or both," Dobbs said. Dobbs then went further, suggesting Barr was "perhaps compromised." He characterized Barr as having "appeared to join in with the radical Dems and the deep-state and the resistance."
". Newsmax host Greg Kelly, who has risen to fame in right-wing media circles in the last few weeks for suggesting Trump could emerge as the winner of the election, went after Barr on his show. "Some of us are wondering if he is a warrior with the Constitution or if he's just a bureaucrat," Kelly said. Kelly added that he "can't believe" if Barr "looked for voter fraud he wouldn't find any." And Mark Levin said he "regret[ted] to say" that Barr's comments were "misleading."
"The far-right blogs were even harsher. The Gateway Pundit, a fringe website which Trump has repeatedly promoted, published a post that said Barr had revealed himself as "totally deaf, dumb and blind."

What happens to those who catch Covid 19 but survive (which is the vast majority of cases)?  Outcomes are often not good at all with permanent cardiovascular impairment  and other nasty things.  



It ain't 'just the flu'.........

You're obviously not listening to Trumptoids who are experts on the matter...
