Biden's Physical

Posted By Mel Maki

There was video released a couple of days ago that showed Biden at his worst. It is bad.

I don't know.

No, this is video of times he looks and sounds very bad. Your eyes and ears allow you to judge. What the doc is saying will not make it look and sound better, period. You would agree if you watched them.

Rich, I think that is the third time you failed to write that he crossed state lines!
I did see something that said he lived a few miles away.

I think the public is being abused with some hype. I should check so I am not making a fool of myself but hollow points are much more destructive to people and militaries are not allowed to use them, I think. A full metal jacket is more likely to pass through somebody causing much less damage than a hollow point which will mushroom to maybe double the diameter and dump all of it's energy in a shorter travel through flesh. 
If a person was hiding behind a barricade then the FMJ is more likely to penetrate the barricade and damage the person. But that is considered a less likely scenario. 

Also, an ER doc told me the bits of metal the hollow point can break into are difficult to remove from flesh.

I'll guess that somebody that doesn't think about guns often and goes to the store with the biggest selection of ammo to buy some, might buy FMJ just because it is cheaper (I think) and he doesn't know the details of how they are constructed.

I'm sure the people shot dead by Rittenhouse would argue with that, if they could...
Maybe I read your reply too fast. Greg is of course correct. The hollow point does much more damage to flesh.

SNL On Rittenhouse

Posted By Mel Maki

Remembering the old crew I tried to get a chuckle. There isn't anybody that got a lick of enjoyment from this humorless bunch unless they were desperate to make some kind, or any kind of political point.

Don't quit your day job there, Dickie.
I've seen it before, funny stuff that Rich wrote. Maybe that part of him isn't working today?

Yep, I don't think he was given a cognitive test. Why not? Trump had one. They probably thought Biden looked sharp!
