    What’s wild is the bullet went in one ear and out the other without doing any more damage.

      I’m starting to wonder if maybe he intented to miss. Knowing it would spur his base to turn him into some deity

        This might be a legit thing. I don’t mean he was an elite sniper who just tried to shoot his earlobe off, but that he intended to miss by a few metres, but he wasn’t exactly good at that either.

        considering he was looking up local dem conventions and got kicked out of a gun club for being a poor shot… well I think this guy just wanted to prove that he wasn’t a complete loser

      nearly all republicans these days live in a suburb. IMO more likely the guy at a car dealership sales desk or a real estate agent is a typical republican these days.

    Rule # 1 in dictatorships:

    THE PURGE happens, up-front.

    Remember “Q” was pushing that that would happen?

    The prediction was early, but it was spot on.

    As I’ve been saying for years, now.

        “And these blast points, too accurate for Sandpeople. Only Imperial Stormtroopers are so precise.” He said, looking at a sand crawler with random scortch marks all over the hull that still looks fairly intact.

          The first bit of the campaign in EA’s SW Battlefront II was great largely for NOT doing this. Stormtroopers were depicted as well trained and professional, and it was pretty great until the light side arch started to kick in.

          I’d LOVE a SW TV series that focuses on a squad of stormtroopers. Pull inspiration from shit like MASH, Saving Private To Ryan, Jarhead, etc, and you’d have a pretty good cocktail of serious/intense/a dash of humor. Humanize then - make us set their indoctrination, and even root for them against the rebel ‘terrorists’.

              Never even heard of it, but just did a search. I tried one of the other animated SW series a while ago, and didn’t make it very far.

              If this one even semi-matches the description of my last post, then fuck yeah, I’ll give it a shot!

                The main characters were introduced in season 7 of the animated Clone Wars series, and their “spinoff” has 3 seasons on Disney+.

                Its definitely top tier & worth your time.
