Howitzer can fire twice as far as the T-55 tank can. No good using them as a cannon when they can't get near enough to the action. Then if they do get near the action their lack of armour protection makes them very vulnerable.

Yes thanks, seen plenty of pictures of the right wing, white nationalist loon in the links I've already posted. You've obviously not thought of clicking them. I can sense your shock but straight from the horses mouth so to speak. Link provided earlier....................................

All down to the jury now. Quite a good read on some of the questions they'll be asking themselves: The Trump rape trial is headed to the jury. Here are the questions jurors will weigh. https://www.politico.com/news/2023/05/08/trump-rape-trial-closing-arguments-00095888

So this Latino guy is a non-white white supremacist? Be educated on the matter: The rise of white nationalist Hispanics The U.S. trend, fueled over the course of Donald Trump's presidency and the pandemic, extends beyond movement leaders to a broader network of participants, some of whom have faced hate crimes charges. https://www.axios.com/2022/03/10/rise-white-nationalist-hispanics-latinos "I wonder why certain media would ignore the crucial mental health angle and instead being divisive and trying to score cheap points? hmmm" Did you click on the BBC link where it mentions his mental health from his discharge in the US army? Apparently not. As for his social media posts, they are all in the BellingCat twitter link I posted if you scroll the threads there.

Well done Biden! White House bans The Post from Biden event as Hunter indictment looms In a Monday email, White House staff informed The Post: “We are unable to accommodate your credential request to attend the Investing in Airline Accountability Remarks on 5/8. The remarks will be live-streamed and can be viewed at WH.gov. Thank you for understanding. We will let you know if a credential becomes available.” https://nypost.com/2023/05/08/white-house-bans-new-york-post-from-biden-event-as-hunter-indictment-looms/

Lots more details emerging about this extreme right wing loon. He was in the US Army for just 3 months before thrown him out. "An account run by the suspect on a Russia-based social network seen by BBC News includes pictures of Nazi swastikas and SS tattoos, other posts glorifying Nazis, and rambling messages about violence." https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-65527487 He was a big fan of a twitter account @libsoftiktok and signed off on one of his posts with "Heil Hitler" Boxes of ammo he bought before the shooting spree: Lots more details and pics from Bellingcat author: https://twitter.com/AricToler

I would not answer without providing a lot of further information as evidenced in my links.

Of course it was. "In addition to the huge financial price, Dominion exacted a difficult admission from Fox News, which acknowledged in a statement that “certain claims” it made about Dominion were false." https://www.nytimes.com/live/2023/04/18/business/fox-news-dominion-trial-settlement

No woman has an abortion one day before delivery just because they want to. That's a false assumption and difficult to explain without adding context. Is third-trimester abortion exceptional? Two pathways to abortion after 24 weeks of pregnancy in the United States https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1363/psrh.12190 Less than 1% of abortions take place in the third trimester – here’s why people get them https://theconversation.com/less-than-1-of-abortions-take-place-in-the-third-trimester-heres-why-people-get-them-182580

Its a pity the legislators rush through bills & fail to listen to the peoples views in Florida where the majority do not approve of these strict abortion laws. Similar to North Carolina, where even the Governor may veto it. Cooper has vowed to veto the bill, but Republican legislators hold large majorities in both the General Assembly and state Senate and could override the veto. “They ran through a bill in 48 hours with no public input, with no amendments, that drastically reduces access to reproductive freedom for women,” said Cooper of the Republican lawmakers. https://www.politico.com/news/2023/05/07/north-carolina-abortion-ban-cooper-00095702

The gunman has been named. "Mauricio Garcia." Authorities have not released a motive, but a patch on his chest said “RWDS,” an acronym that stands for Right Wing Death Squad, according to people familiar with the investigation. The phrase is popular among right wing extremists, neo-Nazis and white supremacists, they said. In addition to the weapons found on his body, investigators found another five guns inside his car nearby, these people said. https://www.texastribune.org/2023/05/07/allen-texas-mall-shooting-gunman/ Here's one of the "Proud Boys" wearing this patch: File:Proud Boy Jeremy Bertino wearing a Right Wing Death Squad (RWDS) patch

Ever wondered what its like to be one of the first on the scene of a mass shooting before first responders get there? Be faced with the sheer terror in front of you. The article below that event described by a brave man who helped as much as he could. Man who witnessed Allen outlet mall shooting describes carnage: 'It's just unfathomable' Spainhouer said he also found a child, who survived while covered by his protective mother who had been killed. "When I rolled the mother over, he came out. I asked him if he was OK and he said, 'My mom is hurt, my mom is hurt.' So rather than traumatize him, I pulled him around the corner sat him down and he was covered from head to toe...like somebody poured blood on him." Spainhouer said what he witnessed Saturday will haunt him for the rest of his life. https://www.cbsnews.com/texas/news/man-witnessed-allen-outlet-mall-shooting/

Or maybe he did it. Thats why there is a trial. We will find out soon enough.

How do you know he didn't do it? He can't even tell his ex wife from Carroll in a photo.

Very good example, except when those people who make comments like that at Thai's, that's also racism except its done on an anonymous forum and not by a TV host who then has his texts exposed. Especially when his remarks were towards a BLM getting beaten up by a group of white's after all they don't fight like that.

Simple test. Would Tucker have said this to a black colleague. Of course not, it was a racist rant.

Eight dead so far including children. Nothing to do with guns of course. A gunman killed eight people and wounded seven others – three critically – in a shooting at a Dallas-area mall before being fatally shot by a police officer who happened to be nearby, authorities said Saturday. Authorities did not immediately provide details about the victims, but witnesses reported seeing children among them. https://apnews.com/article/shooting-outlet-mall-allen-texas-a5148bc28d78c69ba0c59967427a2f85

Another AR-15 style weapon with an extended clip laying by the shooters body. MTG while praying for the victims then blames it on mental illness, drugs and evil forces. Nothing to do with the guns of course I can't describe the images of dead people still doing the rounds on twitter, the injuries are horrific.

Yet another sad day in Texas Multiple people shot at Dallas-area outlet mall WFAA-TV reported that police on the scene said there were multiple victims, including children. Their conditions were not immediately known, but WFAA reported that the Collin County Sheriff said the shooter is dead. A crowd of hundreds of people who had been shopping stood outside, across the street from the mall, Saturday evening. Officers circulated among them asking if anyone had seen what happened. https://www.politico.com/news/2023/05/06/multiple-people-shot-at-dallas-area-outlet-mall-00095680 (Just seen awful vids on twitter of a dead child)

You responded to my post and went onto criticize the media outlet. My post was on topic and with credible sources. Your deflection is not surprising as in keeping with your deflection on Carlson's racist texts.

Indeed and its been known about for sometime. “Follow the Money: The CCP’s Business Model Fueling the Fentanyl Crisis.” Three U.S. presidential administrations — those of Barack Obama, Donald Trump, and Joe Biden — have devoted diplomatic focus to induce and impel China to tighten its regulations vis-à-vis fentanyl-class drugs and their precursor chemicals and to more diligently enforce these regulations. China, however, sees its counternarcotics enforcement, and more broadly its international law enforcement cooperation, as strategic tools that it can instrumentalize to achieve other objectives. https://www.brookings.edu/testimonies/chinas-role-in-the-fentanyl-crisis

So let me get this right, you don't actually have any comments on the racist remarks from those right wingers digging a hole for themselves defending Tucker and only responded to me about the messenger, Media Matters. The links are direct to source videos of the actual people I quoted and referred to. I do agree through, comparing Media Matters which has a high factual rating to Fox News which has a mixed rating, 2 steps down, is obviously a mile apart. But then again we are talking about Tucker formerly of Fox News and his racist views.

Media Matters has a higher factual rating than Fox News. Besides all the direct source links are included if you care to click on the links. So now that you try to kick the messenger and because you don't like the message, whats your response?

Its called free choice. If you want to worry about anti social behaviour I suggest there's a lot more out there than people wearing masks if they want to.

How have some of the right wing media attempted to justify Carlson's racists comments? Easy, add some more racism. Daily Wire’s Matt Walsh furthered the racist narrative, saying, “In nearly every video on the Internet where gangs of people viciously assault another person, the gangs are comprised of people who are not white.” TPUSA’s Charlie Kirk claimed, “Tucker Carlson did nothing wrong,” adding, “There is a disturbing pattern of Blacks jumping people of all races in the urban corridors in America. That is a fact.” Megyn Kelly “sounds like gang violence to me. … And if you look at stats on gangs in America … literally it’s 99% non-white. … If Tucker is responding to what looks like gang violence, it is not inaccurate to say it’s not typically a group of white people doing that.” https://www.mediamatters.org/tucker-carlson/right-wing-media-defend-tucker-carlsons-racist-text-messages-more-racism
