Trump Assassination Attempt

As leftists insult Trump 24/7.
Using very vulgar language.
At least I used a very refined term.
So what? Do you really not understand the difference between insulting an individual and insulting a group?
But the group I was speaking of was the élites who fund the wars behind the scenes out of money-hunger.
And they are theists...I can promise you that most of them go to their buildings of worship regularly.
Very religious. But God is not within them, they are devilish and diabolical beings.
They paid the guy who almost killed Fitso and also the guy who almost killed Trump.
Anti-gun types use "assault rifle" inaccurately for histrionics.
It's designed to inflame passions using dishonesty.
Those who use the term incorrectly are playing a game,
ie, frightening the masses by trickery.
If you want to be serious, use terminology correctly.
Don't divert discussion with such histrionics.
That's a falsehood.
Geeze, get a grip, man.
If you want to discuss guns, learn the
terminology, & how they function.
Who's funding Putin, the biggest warmonger of all?
That would be Putin, & Russian taxpayers.
Putin doesn't need to be funded by anyone.
The Russian State is rich because the Gazprombank is public and so the Russian State gains from the sale of natural gas and oil.
Typically, the number determines the measurement system.Except he used the word "caliber" especially since he is American as well that is measured in hundredths of inches and is written .22 for example:
Caliber - Wikipedia
en.wikipedia.org
And bore and barrel diameter are the same since people are concerned with the size of round that will fit inside it. As to "bore" that is sometimes synonymous to "gauge". A "four bore" or four gauge is a really big gun.
It's a common shorthand among us gun nuts.
Examples...
22, 308, & 50 mean inches.
5.56 & 7.62 mean millimeters.
All war making requires resources, eg, soldiers,
materiel. That means spending money.
Russians finance their own wars....with help
from China.
That's acknowledging oneThe Russian State is rich because the Gazprombank is public and so the Russian State gains from the sale of natural gas and oil.
source for Putin's war chest.

Again that depends on who you ask. Put a 30 or 50 round magazine on a rifle and see what's its called.
Maybe you mean that those élites from your country wish they owned the Gazprombank?
Have any documentation that these
elites (note correct spelling) with that?
I can't say the names.
Just let me tell you that someone said a very negative thing about Trump...
then I saw his surname...and I said: no surprise at all.

The New Yorker does that accented e bit for some reason. I’ve never actually heard anyone pronounce it that way, though. Stress is usually on the 2nd syllable. The NY-er just likes being fancy, I suppose.
Meaningless.I can't say the names.

Perhaps writers at The New Yorker feel sophisticated
when adding superfluous diacritical mark.

No,you used a lazy slur that insults the godless among you. What if we started using Italian to describe Italians we don't like? Like what if I said Rocky is a dumb Italian meathead. I can try to hide behind how I don't care for people who beat each other's brains in, the fact is his having Italian lineage is, properly and rightfully, off limits for the insult. You would be right to be offended as I included being Italian as a part of the insult against this one person.
Or how Bruce Dickinson of Iron Maiden was criticized for calling someone a "Greek ****." It's that Greek part that caused a stir, and rightfully so.
Now, you did in fact use godless as an insult knowing damn well there are many godless here. You used it in a traditional way. Yes, you can try to excuse it and say it's something other than prejudice against atheists. But you used the term in a very traditional way, as an insult. I grew up around racists who tried to justify their own bigotry by claiming their venomous beliefs only apply to certain black people.
Trump gets insulted because hes a chronic liar, a bully, sexual predator, traitor, mass murderer, he wants to be a dictator, his campaign promises are that of a bloodthristy tyrant.
No...these people are theists.
I have many atheist friends, they are super cool.
Godless means a person that doesn't have God within. In my language it has this meaning. Period.
Why do you think the term godless offends atheists? Explain it etymologycally.
Use your linguistic skills.
But you mean to insult just one person. So?
I am not insulting atheists at all. I am calling godless a very tiny group of people. an élite.

Any weapon can be used to assault people, but not every rifle would be called an assault rifle. Those with the look and function of AR-15 and similar rifles are called assault rifles not just because of their appearance, but because of their functional attributes--ability to mount large-capacity ammunition magazines, rapid-fire semiautomatic action, type of ammunition, etc. They don't have to be automatic weapons or military grade weapons, but they are popular with gun enthusiasts because of the way they look and function and also because of the macho image they project.
Gun control debates that focus on how people ought to use a word like "assault rifle" are no longer debates over gun control. They are debates over how to define words. It is semantic gamesmanship that avoids discussion of the real issues that concern people.

I agree the term is over used and thrown around way too often.
