Hometown Trump gunner

This is not the kind of picture that I want to see attached to national news about my adopted home town, but … here we are. Thirty-something, Jonathan Moreno, needed to make my day.

Apparently, Moreno was "provoked" in that one of the counter-protesters (gone from the scene before these photos were taken) had splashed water on the guy, and … clearly that’s justification for extrajudicial killing, and clearly this is just another Responsible Gun Owner demonstrating responsible use.

For what it’s worth, I’m trained to use a gun, though I would never keep one in my home, or carry one while out and about our bedroom community of not quite 13,000 people, where wine tasting dominates a significant number of businesses.

Voting for Democrats and Republicans

Apparently, in the United States, if you vote for a candidate that you like and want to hold the office, people call that a "protest vote".

However, if you instead vote against whichever party you hate most, because hating them is more important than even liking the candidate that you’re voting for … that’s not a protest vote.

George Orwell would be proud 😕
