Cont: The Trump Presidency: Part 25

Damn.

I'm unfamiliar with the incident, but I should think Chesty's position was that upon running out of fuel, or in the event of malfunction, the flamethrower would still be a useful weapon with a bayonet fitted. It would accord with the mindset of an aggressive commander whose philosophy is to attack.

From the guy's history, it sounds like he was hoping to roast the enemy like marshmallows over a campfire.

When they really are useful as generators of carbon monoxide to clear out bunkers and tunnels.

Plus, when you think of all the **** he did, a bit of self-deprecating humor seems entirely likely. "I want to bayonet the guy I just fried to death!" just feels like the kind of joke a Marine would make.

No they burn people but that's unpleasant to think about so it's better to say they suffocate instead.
They would squirt the fuel to douse everything through the openings before giving it a flame.

No way; that would imply he has some means for accepting new information.

See you Lindy and raise you gun jesus.



The benefit to the gasses is that they go around corners and further into a tunnel than the fuel can directly get to. They certainly directly burned people but they also caused death through displacing oxygen/carbon monoxide.

Picture is from earlier in the year, not last night. Speculation was that it's a shunt for hydrocephalus. Google "Trump Shunt".

 

[Andy_Ross]

In his first comments to camera since the debate Trump says "I don't know who the Proud Boys are." but he doesn't denounce them.

Then

Q: White supremacists clearly love you. Do you welcome that?
TRUMP: "I want law and order to be a very important part, it's a very important part of my campaign"

Q: Are you preparing for a Joe Biden victory?
TRUMP: "There won't be"

BREAKING: Former FBI Director James Comey insisted today on the Hill that his investigation of the Trump campaign -- which included falsified evidence and illegal wiretaps -- was done "by the book”

This seems to show that the super heated toxic gasses were likely also a killer in many situations.

 

[Andy_Ross]

Because they sear the lungs, you burn, it's not the oxygen being consumed by the flame or carbon monoxide doing it.
Flamethrowers were nasty and brutal but we don't like to admit we are roasting people or burning their lungs because we are the good guys.

Anyway. totally off topic.

All of these FBI, CIA & DOJ crooks are running out the clock until Nov. 3, while doing everything they can to boost Biden's chances. They know that if they can drag Biden across the finish line, they can be pardoned for their rank corruption. Only voters can hold them accountable

Comey refutes Senators' assertion he spied on Trump, when in fact he sent Pientka to surveil Trump at a security briefing & Comey himself recorded Trump several times. He also neglects to mention he ok'd FISAs a/o tails, NSLs, trash covers on no fewer than 5 Trump campaign aides

Sen. Cruz to Comey: "You were deliberately corrupt or woefully incompetent, and I don't believe you were incompetent."

Comey just claimed Trump is a Russian asset because Trump said he didn't trust the very same U.S. intelligence agencies that tried to frame him for treason, fueled by Russian disinformation and funded by Hillary Clinton and the DNC, in a coup that was led by Comey himself.

BREAKING: Comey swears he doesn't remember hearing anything about Steele's primary subsource, Igor Danchenko, being the subject of an FBI C.I. investigation, as a suspected Russian agent, and doesn't recall his own CrossFire Hurricane team interviewing Danchenko in Jan 2017

@CBS_Herridge
NOW: Under oath Senate Judiciary @Comey “I don't remember any information reaching me about the source for Steele." WHY IT MATTERS: Newly declassified records show FBI Russia team knew as early as Dec 2016 the primary source for the Steele dossier was the subject of 2009 FBI

The lies just keep on coming. he obviously won't stop because he can't stop. How can this dirtbag be allowed to serve as our president? Where the heck is the Deep State when we need 'em?
From the Philadelphia Inquirer newspaper:

President Donald Trump closed out his first presidential debate with Democratic nominee Joe Biden on Tuesday night by repeating on national television his false claim that poll watchers had been blocked from observing the first day of in-person early voting in Philadelphia.

“Today there was a big problem,” Trump said in the closing moments of the debate. “In Philadelphia they went in to watch. They’re called poll watchers. A very safe, very nice thing. They were thrown out. They weren’t allowed to watch. You know why? Because bad things happen in Philadelphia, bad things.”

The Trump campaign has no poll watchers approved to work in Philadelphia at the moment. There are no actual polling places open in the city right now. Inquirer link

What trump was referring to was voting at satellite offices where voters can request a mail-in vote, then fill it out and submit it. Technically they are not polling places and poll watchers are not permitted. Also,

No poll watchers have been certified yet for the Trump campaign, the Republican Party, or other Republican campaigns, said Nick Custodio, deputy city commissioner under Lisa Deeley, chair of the city commissioners. At least one woman claiming to be a Trump campaign poll watcher was barred from entering one of those satellite offices Tuesday in the Overbrook section of West Philadelphia.

trump poll watchers arriving for duty. (This is a JOKE!)

So weird to watch @FoxNews interviewing only failed Dems, like Represenative Tim Ryan of Ohio, who got zero percent in his recent presidential run, and following Sleepy Joe’s train to wherever. What a difference from the past - But we will win anyway!!!

Just landed in Minnesota. Hasn’t been won by a Republican since 1972, and we saved Minneapolis. Also opened the massive and beautiful Iron Range, which Obama and Sleepy Joe closed. Thousands of jobs started back. They will close again. How can we lose?
