Absolutely, consider is ALWAYS loaded.

Okay, cops first.

On the headline, it was evidently Alec Baldwin with a prop gun at a movie set on the Bonanza Ranch.

He's too goddamn thick to have regrets.

I knew a guy active in the early Hollywood action movie biz, and he was damn near killed making an "oater" when an extra followed the director's order to "get in close" and fired a blank close to his head. He was blown clean off his horse, and bore the powder burns the rest of his life. And he was still well and truly pissed off about it more than half a century later.

As noted on the other thread dealing with this topic, the First Rule remains unchanged: all guns should be considered loaded and ready to go.

Could it be as simple as $?

First rule: consider all guns loaded, and act accordingly.

I'm pretty sure Sinema isn't concerned about the crushing disappointment her sellout behavior inflicts on those who went to the wall to put her in the Senate. Getting a Democrat elected to the Senate in AZ required heavy lifting, but Sinema seems determined to ignore those who were inspired by a hopeful message and labored on her behalf. So Sinema will continue to do what she fancies is a stylish swirl, but is in fact the prancing of a wildly delusional attention getter who has cemented a national reputation as someone who can't be relied om.

Punish the messenger!

Obviously, we've got only bits and pieces of evidence. (Do with that what you will, a freebie.). That said, I'd say the Laundrie family's credibility in this department plunged into negative territory a long time ago.

I suspect they live in incredibly small worlds, where latching onto small change is worth shredding whatever moral compass they might have had.

I don't know if it's in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM"5), but "------ In The Noggin" seems about right.

Poor Peter Doocy just seems too lazy and too damn dumb to squeeze in that last little bit of research; you know, the bijou beauty Jen Psaki had ticking away in her Little Bombs Binder.

It's my party, and I'll cry if I want to
Cry if I want to
Cry if I want to
You would cry too, if it happened to you

Twice.

Dwight Babcock : I dropped by the Bixby School. And what do I find? I find he isn't even registered there, he never has been. So I've been hunting through every low, crockpot school in this town, and I finally found him in the lowest of them all.
Mame Dennis : Mr. Page is a progressive educator...
Dwight Babcock : There they were, a schoolroom full of them: boys, girls, teachers, romping around stark naked, bare as the day they were born.
Mame Dennis : I assure you that the children under Mr. Page's care were engaged in normal, healthful, broadening pursuits.
Dwight Babcock : Broadening? You show them what you were doing when I broke into that place. Go ahead, show them.
Patrick Dennis : We were just playing Fish Families.
Dwight Babcock : Fish Families!
Patrick Dennis : It's part of "constructive play".
Dwight Babcock : Now, listen to this.
Mame Dennis : Show me now, darling, show me.
Patrick Dennis : Well, we do it right after yogurt time. Mrs. Page and all the girls crouch down on the floor under the sun lamps. And they pretend to be lady fishes, depositing their eggs in the sand. Then Mr. Page and all the boys do what gentlemen fish do.
Mame Dennis : [pause] What could be more wholesome or natural?

False statements to federal investigators? Since when is that a crime? I did it and I'm free as a bird. Free the liars! Make Amerika great again! Again!

Okay, just a word or two or three:
1. Brush up on your grasp of history and human behaviors
2. Werk on those critical thinking skills
3. Rinse and repeat

Threats of violence is the tool of first resort for a lot of feral Trumpfists.

"Pence was never at risk, nor was anyone else"

Sounds like you must've gotten your bell rung.
Sad!
