No I am not talking about BLM! MAGA are the ones pushing that agenda hard. No integrity and no backbone and they almost always hide behind their cult leaders approach of retweet or ‘some people are saying’ as they don’t have the balls to own their racism and bigotry. I get that you’re right wing, there’s some really good right wing people Liz Cheney for example. Politic leanings should be about policy and beliefs, not a cult of personality and reality tv. I watch what Biden, Harris, Jeffreys say and their actions and for the most part they are people of integrity who talk about policy and vision. I then compare that to Johnson, Trump, Vance, McConnel, Lindsey who spew hatred and fear, and have no recognisable policies. None of them have any backbone or spine just look at their record. Trump is quite literally a felon convicted in court by a jury, his own VP called him America’s hitler. I don’t know how deep into the MAGA cult you are, but as a proclaimed Christian I would hope that you would ‘see the light’ and put aside the idolatry of Donald. The right needs people with conviction who will stand up to him and MAGA and represent right wing policies and values - because that is good for the country.

Makes you wonder if the blood spatters on his face were someone else's blood. Rumor is he can't release the medical records because the IRS is auditing them. ;-)

How do you rationalize your support for a convicted felon, proven fraud, pathological liar, self confessed sexual predator and adulterer, who stole from his own foundation, a six time banktrupt who screwed his investors, and who called US military killed or injured in the service of their country "losers" and "suckers"?

Seen elsewhere: Think about what the alt-right would be screaming if Kamala Harris had given birth to 5 children by 3 different men.

Are you sitting down for this? A Trump-appointed judge in Texas is allowing a woman to sue the prosecutors and sheriffs for illegal prosecution over an abortion. Woman imprisoned for abortion, wrongfully charged with murder, will be allowed to sue prosecutors, sheriffs for $1M

I believe TK has mentioned the possibility of powdered metallurgy as a source before although I'm not sure he's ever mentioned if that would hint in anyway to DB's industry/role/identity. I will reach out if I can find his email. Two notable things related to both shape and size. A large portion of the titanium based particle images are spherical (including the famous 3 TiSb particles) so that fits the resources you've shared here. However size is not super homogeneous across the data. Looking at particles that are primarily titanium and contain no oxygen we see particles sized from 0.08 millimicrons all the way to 7,175. I wonder if we should see a smaller range of sizes if powdered metallurgy really was to blame for the dirty tie?

Not that it matters one way or another, but there is strong reason to believe that yes, he was grazed by the first shot fired. It also seems that he just happened to turn his head as the shot was fired, or it likely would have killed him. Some will believe this was an act of God, some will call it good luck, and of course some will call it bad luck. If he had been killed someone more right wing and capable would have been nominated and probably would be a stronger candidate. Because of that I'm calling it good luck. Harris can beat him, but only because so many people are never Trumpers. https://www.nytimes.com/2024/07/26/us/politics/trump-shooter-bullet-trajectory-ear.html

Zoom in on his ear :)

Cognitive dissonance happens when you hold two contradictory beliefs and this creates uncomfortable feelings. As a result you either rationalise your views to reduce the discomfort, or change your beliefs. Changing beliefs requires you to acknowledge the conflicting beliefs and discomfort, critically evaluate the beliefs, be open minded and willing to change. Sadly deeply religious people seldom have these traits. In fact most religions and cults actively discourage critical thinking and punish it. In short, I wouldn’t hold out much hope of any change.
