Between the two videos, if this guy was justified in self defense (my opinion is yes), then that is a great argument for both semi-auto rifles and 30 round magazines.

Rick Grenell (U.N. and German Ambassador) said that with Biden you’ll get a foreign policy of consensus with our allies which means America gives them what they want and pays for it. That’s classic.
He said that with Trump, America comes first. He also said that with past Presidents, they were moving toward America as Capitol of the World.

Looking forward to the President's nomination acceptance speech tonight.

It's so nice to have someone in the White House who isn't a politician.

If you believed the Republican National Convention, you’d think President Donald Trump has taken unprecedented action to defeat the Covid-19 pandemic. He bragged about the US doing more testing than any other country, the approval of new treatments, support for Americans hit hard by the economic downturn, and his work to expedite a vaccine.
“To save as many lives as possible, we are focusing on the science, the facts, and the data,” Trump said. “We are aggressively sheltering those at highest risk — especially the elderly — while allowing lower-risk Americans to safely return to work and school.”
Experts, and the data, tell a very different story — one in which Trump has let Covid-19 win.“It begins in many ways, and you could argue it ends in many ways, with the Trump administration,” Ashish Jha, faculty director of the Harvard Global Health Institute, told me. “If George W. Bush had been president, if John McCain had been president, if Mitt Romney had been president, this would have looked very different.”
The virus rages on, affecting every aspect of American life, from the economy to education to entertainment. Nearly 180,000 Americans are dead. Schools are closing down again after botched attempts to reopen, with outbreaks in universities and K-12 settings. America now has one of the worst ongoing epidemics in the world, with the most daily new deaths to the virus, after controlling for population, among developed countries.
As fall approaches, in-person teaching is back in parts of Europe, fans are returning to baseball stadiums in Taiwan and South Korea, and dine-in reservations have jumped to previous years’ levels in Germany — while many states in the US are scaling back their already limited reopenings as the disease spreads. (Only Spain, with Covid-19 cases recently rising, is an exception in the developed world, alongside the US.)Trump has tried to deny this reality all along. Back in March, as the country woke up to the threat of the coronavirus, the US could reopen by Easter Sunday in April. “You’ll have packed churches all over our country,” Trump said in March. “I think it’ll be a beautiful time.”
The US can’t open in August, much less April, but the episode exemplified the magical thinking that has animated Trump’s response to the Covid-19 pandemic before and after the novel coronavirus reached the US. It’s a problem that’s continued through August — with Trump and those under him recently denying the existence of a resurgence in Covid-19, falsely claiming rising cases were a result of more tests. With every day, week, and month that the Trump administration has tried to spin a positive story, it’s also resisted stronger action, allowing the epidemic to drag on.
But yet it continues:

Pence, virus task force leader, mingles with largely mask-free audience after convention speech
Who needs to wear masks is the subtle message conveyed. Meanwhile, 50k new infections, 1,200 deaths, daily.
We learned today that 4 people from RNC tested positive. If there's anybody who deserves to get the bug more than Trump at this point, can you please point out to me who it is? I know this is terrible to say, but dammit... he has almost demanded a visit from El Karma.

Poll: Third party voters from 2016 are backing Biden 2-to-1WASHINGTON — One of the major differences between 2016 and 2020 is that this year’s presidential contest features a smaller third-party vote than four years ago, and Gary Johnson/Jill Stein voters from 2016 are breaking more toward Joe Biden than they are Donald Trump.
Given Trump’s narrow win four years ago, that movement — if it holds — is a big deal.
The combined national NBC News/Wall Street Journal polls from this year have interviewed 215 voters who said they backed either Johnson or Stein in 2016, and Biden holds a 2-to-1 advantage among them.
Forty-seven percent say they’re voting for Biden, 20 percent are supporting Trump, and 33 percent are unsure or say they’re backing another candidate.Here’s why this is significant: In 2016, Trump won Michigan by 10,704 votes, while the combined Johnson/Stein vote was 223,599. (So Biden getting 47 percent of that third-party vote to Trump’s 20 percent easily overturns that ’16 margin.)
In 2016, Trump won Pennsylvania by 44,292 votes, while there were 196,656 Johnson/Stein voters. (Again, Biden winning those third-party voters by a 2-to-1 margin reverses that outcome.)
And in 2016, Trump won Wisconsin by 22,748 votes, and the combined Johnson/Stein total was 137,746. (Ditto: Hillary Clinton would likely be president today if she had won those third-party voters by a 47 percent to 20 percent split.)
Now Johnson and Stein voters from 2016 aren’t monolithic: Stein voters tend to be younger and more liberal.
And remember, the NBC News/WSJ poll is a national poll; it doesn’t tell us how third-party voters in Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin are breaking.
But these Johnson/Stein voters are significant. And right now in 2020, they’re more likely to be Biden voters than Trump voters.

Pretty sobering "news". If Biden wins I'll be mortified. If Trump wins I'll be sad. I don't come out a winner here. My hope is for a solid vaccination campaign and then normalcy to return. If Trump starts retweeting anti-vaxxers I'm going to join the BLM...

Anybody that congregates in the middle of this mess with their mask slung low should be fined.
