A guy with the American Enterprise Institute published the results of a poll from Dartmouth.

"55 percent of Democratic [students] said opposite political views would make them less likely to befriend another student, compared to 21 percent of Independents and 12 percent of Republicans."

Ideological tolerance looks pretty thin at Dartmouth.https://t.co/X42Hd4Myus

Go read the Twitter thread.

This is an example of what you will see over and over again.

Evil.  All republicans are just evil.

See the GOP wants death camps for gays and immigrants.

read that as "55 percent of Democratic [students] have principles"

So hating people on the other side of the aisle is a principle?  That actually sounds pretty honest, but I don’t think that’s what he meant.

In an unrelated study, 63% of Democrats said they would be less likely to befriend someone someone who was a Nazi, and 83% said they would be less likely to befriend someone currently eating a live kitten.

where is your """tolerance""" now, libs??

— Annika (@marushconk) June 6, 2018

Because the GOP are Nazis.

Nazis and racists.

This is the whole thread:

“Here is I think of what a Republican is: a racist who wants to murder gays, trans-people, and immigrants, is a Nazi Klansman.  I am allowed to hate them because they are terrible, evil, subhuman people.”

They don’t need to be tolerant because they are morally justified in hating the straw man they conjured up out of prejudice and bigotry.

Yup. Those are tweezers, long ones. 12 inches, 10 inches and 8 inches.

I got tired of attaching sticky stuff to dowels  and other ad hoc measures when trying to retrieve non-magnetic items from constricted spaces, namely the garbage disposal.

I think I spent under $10 in Amazon and the look on my wife’s face when she saw them was worth the cheap price.

Florida Turnpike in Miami Dade county.

You do not hit and run.
You do not hit and run a Florida State Trooper.
You do not hit and run a female Florida State Trooper
You do not hit and run a Miami female Florida State Trooper.
You stand a better chance avoiding the Hounds of Hell.

I do believe the young trooper was never more than 20 yards away from the offending vehicle. She pitted and blocked his sorry ass in traffic. LAPD needs no other cars for one square mile and authorization from 5 lawyers.

This is why you rarely see a chase in the streets of South Florida and you have at least one a day in Lalaland.

This is part of a conversation on the Twitter.  It goes back to the two “average civilians” who shot the restaurant shooter in Oklahoma.

She is saying they are trained more than the "average" gun-owning citizen. They receive extensive training to react to these situations. Joe Smo who owns guns or is an enthusiast does not receive tactics training…just to clear that up.

So you do live fire exercises or simunitions?

If not, I hate to tell you that shooting hundreds of rounds does not prepare you for what an active shooting scene brings. I will be happy to read non-biased reports or stats you can bring me to change my mind though 😉

So, for the anti-gun/anti-CCW people out there, there is no amount of practice that satisfies them.  They will never come out and say that, but it is the truth.

For you to CCW, they want you to be battle ready.  They want simuntion force-on-force.  They want you to go through active shooter drills.  They want you to be a Navy SEAL SWAT Ranger.

I guess they watch too much TV, because this is the reality.

NYPD is retiring the last of its revolvers by end of summer

A well-worn leather holster holds a revolver hanging from the gun belt of NYPD Officer Paul Sulzbach as he patrols in midtown.

That gun and holster will soon become a relic of the past, replaced by a modern 9 mm semiautomatic handgun and holster, made of modern synthetic materials.

Sulzbach, 49, on the force since 1992, is one of 29 officers who have retired their service revolvers this week while training at Rodman’s Neck gun range in the Bronx, after being certified with a 9 mm semiautomatic.

Moments after speaking about the former service revolver on Wednesday, Sulzbach joined more than two dozen fellow officers as they loaded, reloaded, fired dummy rounds and did more to familiarize themselves with the new weapons.

“Today, we have one of our last scheduled classes of a three day transition from the .38[-caliber] revolver to 9 mm semiautomatic pistol,” said Richard G. DiBlasio, inspector and commanding officer of Firearms and Tactics Sector. “We have 29 students today, our last group. Because Commissioner O’Neill cares about the safety of the police officer and police department, he wanted this transition over.”

So these officer who have been carrying revolvers for decades are getting three days of training on a totally new platform that is very different from their old one.  Three days.  And a good part of that is with dummy rounds.

This is what police training is really like.

But you have to be John Fucking Rambo.

They don’t care about the training because it makes you better.  They just want to use it, or the lack of it, to deny you your rights.

I’ll say it again, training is good.  Mandatory training is a literacy test.

That is gonna leave a YUGE mark.

Somehow it’s always the fault of the JOOOOOOOOOOOOS!!!

Let this simmer in the #Resistance for a couple of weeks and I guarantee the Left is going to sound like 1939 Germany.

And you wonder why I am mad as hell and armed to the fucking teeth.

Remember, only the military can be trusted to have assault rifles.

It’s not like the military is made up of people, some of who are stupid enough to steal an APC and take it for a joy ride.

Oh, wait.

Update: A soldier is in custody after stealing an armored personnel vehicle and leading police on a chase, a Virginia State Police spokesperson said. https://t.co/TE9po0OotX

At lest no one was inured by this, unlike the back flipping FBI agent and his AD.

The magic sprinkling of government doesn’t make people better.
