" A pox on both their houses!"

well, mark rich did set a bad example... pardoning scum whos families are big donors...

I wonder what the buffoon will come up with to try to distract attention?

pr Prosecute, prosecute, Prosecute....

I learned this morning that a former supervisor that I was friendly with has been arrested on a DUI and vehicular homicide charge. dangnammit!

That might be a textbook example of irony. And / or hypocrisy

I saw that one. No there couldn't possibly be any favoritism or flat-out corruption involved...

I remember reading hysterical predictions that GW Bush was going to stage a terrorist attack and declare martial law to prevent either the election, or the transition to Obama Administration. I seem to recall mocking them profusely. With Trump, I am not sure I dare mock any apparently hysterical prognostication...

One of the frequent questions is "what would be appropriate firearms for characters with Growth?" If someone wants to arm giants in the muzzle loading weapon period, here is an example http://www.thefirearmblog.com/blog/2016/06/08/iv8888-do-not-get-shot-with-1-pound-slug-from-a-cannon/ This is a gelatin penetration test on a muzzle loading cannon. It is a 37mm, firing a 1.2 lb minie ball style round. Muzzle energy is somewhere in the range of 45000 ftlbs ! I would think it might be appropriate as a musket for someone with two levels of growth, at least potentially. The barrel length on this one would be abnormally short for someone that size, a longer barrel would increase velocity somewhat. SO maybe a dragoons carbine? Hmm, what would be the appropriate damage for this? Certainly explains why cannons were often "one shot, MANY kills!"

A few interesting things out of Russia, the nightstick in particular seems appropriate for dark champions, or really any street-level campaign. http://www.thefirearmblog.com/blog/2017/10/24/komoloff-makarov-pistol-laser-grip-shooting-police-baton-interpolitex-2017/1

The only revolver I can think of that could be successfully suppressed would be the Nagant. I've often wondered how it would work scaled up to accept a serious cartridge.Thinking more it could also be set up in a revolver to use a Tele-shot style captive piston cartridge. Under current law each round of that would pay a $200 tax stamp however

I forget, what were they talking $35,000 for the basic model with a 220 mile range and more for the long range?

And then have his buddies mug you for your wallet

Ihope the intelligence services are very accurate in deciding which of them are stone-cold killers, and whic can be re-integrated...

Well I guess that would create some jobs for the lower end workers. Unless it was automated and then it would eliminate even those. How many years do you expect to an affordable electric car will allow a trip of an excess of 280 miles? That's from my nearest city to Seattle from my house it would actually be a about 325 I don't see it being helpful for a lot of us for a long time. My round trip commute is 50 miles or better.

I foresee some serious rage out there when people start getting kicked off their insurance or forced into insurance that doesn't actually cover anything because that's all they can afford.

I was thinking basically the same thing

Perhaps it's funny perhaps it's not but I think the only place I've ever seen or heard the "'Murica" is in mocking internet memes and commentary. I live in an area that mostly supported Trump and I don't think I've ever heard that

I suspect that the Republicans are going to face a bloodbath at the midterm elections. However the Republicans have been pulling things off partially because the Democrats seem to have lost something. Contact with the people maybe? Their leadership seems to be just as much Millionaires and up as the Republicans from outside glances, so maybe that's part of it... I don't know, but their assumption that they're going to win and saying "how could you even think of voting for him instead of me? Has not been working."

I wonder if the insurance companies have any idea how many people have come to truly hate them? I'm almost surprised that mobs have not yet started burning headquarters buildings. I'm there are a lot of people out there who aren't real stable

I believe the cabinet can declare him incompetent but since they're all his cronies and Stooges that's not likely to happen...

I would like to playwith a suppressed lever action .45 colt, lever or pump action .22 would be superb. I found a mold for a lead 245 gr bullet for the .300 blackout...

I think I posted this a couple years ago, a .338 Lapua (Norma might be a better match) medium machine gun, weight is comparable to standard (Nato*) 7.62x51mm mgs, range is closer to a .50 caliber. http://www.thefirearmblog.com/blog/2017/10/09/338-firepower-hands-gdlss-lightweight-medium-machine-gun-ausa-2017/ Perfect weapon for a Dark Champions character... http://www.thefirearmblog.com/blog/2017/10/09/7-62mm-lightweight-machine-gun-unveiled-knights-armament-company/ also early development of a 7.62 MG that is estimated to weigh about 12-13 lbs. Even if beefed up to 14 for greater durability, still an improvement. If they combined this with the stainless/aluminum hybrid cases that allow carriage of 5 rds loaded instead of 4, and the new M80A1 load's lighter bullet, might be able to drop a bit of weight for the troops, while still allowing 7.62 power and range. I think in the long term the CTA program's 6.5mm might be a better choice, but staying with 7.62 has its own advantages. *The reason I note NATO mgs, is because some russian ones are lighter. I have only fired a few rounds through an M60, and have no experience with ANY of its competitors.

I swear I am sick to death of the jackanapes who want to take us all the way back to the "gilded age" If anyone knows a reliable necromancer, we could really use Teddy Roosevelt... Trustbuster!
