Has Rig Talk become The Gear Page ?

All I'd argue is that there are many anomalies about the event. I tend towards conspiracy theory, you towards "coincidence" theory.

If you tend towards conspiracy, there's a much-more-logical theory 'though isn't there?

The thing that strikes me is that it was such a close shot, almost miraculous that it didn't hit Trump. I don't really believe in miracles. So that's the first place I pause. Then you have the iconic photo with Trump putting its fists in the air and the secret service basically getting out of the way to enable such an amazing photo. That visual alone almost guaranteed his presidency. Suddenly you even had people like Zuckerberg talking about how "badass" it was. Then there's all the weird stuff about how the kid got there, the cops that let him alone, shots coming from different directions and so on. And then the quick disposal of the body itself. I don't know, I can't say anything for sure. I just think it's an anomalous event and given the extraordinary circumstances it should be scrutinized.

There's really no way you can argue any theory in which Trump faked his own assassination attempt that doesn't make you look like a complete retard.

In your opinion, what is the most compelling argument against it?

That you would have to be a complete fucking idiot to let someone take a shot at you. And if you did you wouldn't let them almost hit you. And there were way too many fucking people that Trump would have had to had in on his little plot to make it happen. It also isn't the only assassination attempt. And I think just yesterday they arrested some other TDS filled fucktard for making threats against him.

The most compelling argument against it is that you would have to be literally a fucking retard to believe it. It's fucking ridiculous.

I think the idea is that there was no bullet and Trump's life wouldn't have been in danger. But regardless, who said it was Trump that would have organized it?

And the dead guy? And the fact that the video clearly showed the whole thing?

What percentage of your life is spent bending logic and physics to try to prove some ridiculous shit simply to be contrarian ? Like the earth not being a sphere. Dude, that is fucking ridiculous. You aren't stupid. Spend that energy doing something useful rather than trying to prove water isn't really wet or that we are living in an alternate reality.

It didn't though. You see one vantage point. And what you think you see at that. I honestly haven't spent more than a half hour reading and considering the matter, probably including this back and forth. Again, I'm not claiming anything. But I think you are overconfident in what you think you know.

I brought up Steve Clark there the other day in a thread and got a "why would anyone care about Steve Clark"

This was in relation to 80's guitar players.

I’m on a massive Leppard kick at the moment and Steve Clark was a monster player.

I don’t think I know. I know. Everyone without brain damage knows.

My take on EarGate is that Trump is so preposterously arrogant and ridiculous that the odds of it being a setup organised by him are equally as good as it being a real nut job assassination attempt.

Re hot sauce:
I eat Shit the Bed Sauce by the teaspoon. My buddy who considers himself an aficionado of all things hot can't believe it when he sees me do this without getting watery eyes, a runny nose, a red face or sweat.

Loved hot stuff since I was a kid. I had pica, so by the time I was about 7 I was heavily into HP Sauce, Worcestershire Sauce, pickles, chillies, roll mops... all things savoury.


Wasn't me. You'd have known if it was 'cause I always, 100% of the time, post my reasoning. Never done it "silently".


Wow. Just... wow.

OK, imagine the scenario:
"Hey, I've got a great idea. We'll get some young punk to miss your skull by a few millimetres from hundreds of feet away and everyone will think he's tryin' ta kill you. Should provide just the boost we need to defeat Biden (POTUS at the time)".

How exactly does that work mate? Maybe you didn't think that one through...

There was no bullet near his skull. He slapped a blood pack on his ear.

That's a circular argument

a man died at that rally from one of those bullets. You say people on this forum aren't nice?

High and Dry is one of my favorite albums!
I always thought Steve was cool and played cool guitars, thought he was a great player. Maybe not the shred-like abilities of Phil, but there’s a feeling there for sure!

The dude was the master of adding dimension and colour around Joe’s vocals with his guitar licks.
Up there with Malcom Young and Izzy Stradlin as a rhythm player too.

 

[dcburn]

Thinking about it some, TGP’ers probably don’t like Steve Clark because he played Marshall stacks and Gibson guitars like a man does and he never bitched about his headstocks popping off.

Gibson’s fall apart on TGP.

I dig Fortus, no denying his talent as a player, but wish Izzy would have came back for this reunion or whatever it is…

Salsa marked "mild" down here would be marked "hot" up north, it's funny. If it gets hotter than a good hot jalapeno that just seems kinda like stupidity to me. Like buying one of those disgusting 12 percent triple bocks. Just give me a normal beer.

Jalapeños up north are a little odd.

They all look the same, but you never know what you’re going to get?

Some are hot, and then some aren’t.

The left and right have almost completely switch places several times in the history of the States. The most recent was when Bill Clinton was in office.

The left before that was not as influenced by big money and lobbying. At that time they started doing what the right had done for years. The main thing was the industrial military complex. That and medical are the main money cows.

Now the left is completely in the pockets of the military contractors and big pharmacy. It didn't happen over night. But slowly over a few decades.
All the other issues are little more than drama and political theatre.
This is pretty much how the left became what it is today. The authoritarian party. They are not liberal at all. They want to tell everyone what to do and think.

During that same time the right slowly moved to a more centralist position on most issues and not nearly as conservative as it was.

It's not just the States. It happened globally.

Both parties are far from perfect. They both still have plenty of problems. That is why independents have become the majority and most people don't associate themselves with the parties or labels that go with them.

As for individuals. Political views are subjective and highly influenced by environment. Basically where you live.

Me being a gypsy and constantly moving my views are very mixed and really depends on the topic.

You need to question are the parties really the problem in politics ? Maybe it is the voters ? Is a democratic republic really better for the people than a government that doesn't have voting ? Is there actually a better system ?

There is actually dozens of different types of governments. People in the States act as if there is only two.

Currently nothing else is realistically available. Voters treat government and parties like a spots team they support.

With AI and robots coming I expect huge changes in industry, government and finances. It going to take a few decades.
