    I don’t own one. Can someone objectively confirm a few things about Glocks? Is the following true?:

    • They don’t really have a “safety”. They have several mechanisms that prevent accidental fire when a finger isn’t on the trigger, but if you have a round in the chamber and pull the trigger, it’s going to fire (which sounds obvious, but I mean it doesn’t have a safety switch like a bb gun usually does)

    • You have to pull back the slide to chamber a round and fire. And once it’s chambered, the trigger just needs a light squeeze to fire (as opposed to a full motion squeeze - in other words, the trigger is partially pulled back once racked and easier to fire)

    If the above is true, these two things in combination seem like an irrisponsible design to me. You are asking for accidental fires like the one that happens recently where a guy pointed a gun at some kids in his driveway and claims “the gun went off”. You should either have a real safety, or it should be harder to squeeze the trigger accidentally.














  • You could just as easily hear him say:

    Netanyahu, or should I say, Netanboohoo. Used to be a great guy. Loved his country. Talked to him alot. Great guy. Not anymore. Total loser. “Criminal guy Netanyahu” they call him now. Everybody calls him that. Criminal…guy…Netanyahu. Nut N’ Honey. Great cereal from the 80s. Best commercials. Lot of commercials. Very funny commercials. Not anymore. You don’t see Nut N’ Honey anymore. Wonder why? Is Netanbabu involved? I don’t know. He’s ruining suburbia though.

    No idea why anyone would pledge loyalty to him.


  • I’m somewhat ashamed to admit it, but back before he did “The Apprentice”, I’ll admit I was somewhat fascinated by Trump as a business “mogul”. I read at least 5 of his books starting with “Art of the Deal”. Here are some highlights I remember:

    • He constantly bragged about deals in which he completely fucked someone over. Not once did he acknowledge it - at all. It’s like it never entered his mind. Or, that the more he fucked someone over, the more proud he was.

    • He bragged about never preparing for speeches. He likes to completely wing it every time - which I guess is obvious.

    • He claimed to never eat lunch. Too busy “making deals” he said.

    • He used to be very good friends with the Clintons. Went to their parties often. Spoke very highly of them.

    • Didn’t mention Jeffrey Epstein at all. You know, like all those pictures of them together might have been a secret?

    • Talked about times when he was flat broke or in the hole and how he needed to fake that he was rich to keep up appearances so people would want to do deals with him. I remember one paragraph where he was walking into a building in NY with Ivanka and pointed out a homeless person and told her “See that man. He has more money than me.”

    Long before he entered politics, based on those books, I knew Donald Trump was a despicable piece of shit.
