    WOW such whoppers full of holes but it you listen to him he seems so convinced they are true. Now you would think he would know there are all verifiable events so he wouldn't just outright lie or is he so used to making them up and just thinks he can get away with it. And playing on the military and emotions.........

    "HANOVER, N.H. - Joe Biden painted a vivid scene for the 400 people packed into a college meeting hall. A four-star general had asked the then-vice president to travel to Kunar province in Afghanistan, a dangerous foray into "godforsaken country," to recognize the remarkable heroism of a Navy captain.

    Some told him it was too risky, but Biden said he brushed off their concerns. "We can lose a vice president," he said. "We can't lose many more of these kids. Not a joke.""

    Uhhh except when he went to Kunar provence he was a Senator not a VP.

    He then went on to tell how the Navy captain was refusing the Silver Star Biden was pinning on him, that he felt he didn't deserve because the man he rescued died.

    " "This is the God's truth," Biden had said as he told the story. "My word as a Biden."

    Except none of it was. As note he wasn't the VP so he couldn't have made the statement about losing a VP trying to sound as if he did some brave life threatening act.

    The it was a 20 year old Army Specialist who had done the rescue.
    He never had a Silver Star pinned on him by Biden he was later award the Medal of Honor which was awarded to him by President Obama.

    "The upshot: In the space of three minutes, Biden got the time period, the location, the heroic act, the type of medal, the military branch and the rank of the recipient wrong, as well as his own role in the ceremony."

    The mans memory is gone.

    This is worse than Hillary dodging sniper fire in Bosnia.

    Just an update-Biden has gone against his staff and military personnel in insisting that his version of this story is true.

    Or is it. Was this just his attempt to disgracefully use the military and members who served and some who died to create a false story to advanced his campaign?

    I heard this morning he's still saying he did nothing wrong.

    He thinks the "story" is more important than the facts.

    That's amazing, what about his swearing to God it was a true story?

    This is akin to the "stolen valor" guys.

    And then, the ass has the nerve to say that the facts don't matter. He is like Hillary wearing pants, oh wait, Hillary was like Joe wearing, wait a minute, if Joe wears pants and Hillary wears pants, which one is the guy? Does it matter? Thought provoking. Wait, I'll distinguish the two, Joe is the one that likes to expose his penis to female secret service agents, right? Oh yeah that guy.

    Hey, Washington Post is fine. But Trump supporters like you get laughed at. You have no basis for pretending to care about lying by anyone.

    If everything he said was true about some person, and he at any time used that quote, it's true in the Clinton dictionary.

    As an owner and happy user of the 12ga shell, I can't see how these people are having so much trouble. Even hot loaded slugs aren't THAT bad.

    The usual shooting newbie stance strikes again. Lean into it ya idiots.

    And if it's got a buttstock, press it hard into your shoulder.
    Somewhere on this forum, in response to a very a-typical Aussie, I posted half a dozen photos of charming ladies from down under holding or firing all kinds of weapons, including shotguns. So, strictly speaking, this isn't really fair to Joe. But I just couldn't resist.

    Anyway, if the SHTF in America, an AR15 or equivalent is what you want. (To anyone reading this who doesn't own one yet : You can get them for $399, here. And some nice accessories here. Better hurry. While you're at it, get two ... they make a nice Christmas or Birthday present.)

    Brilliant Doug. Another example of the cognition processing of a 76 year old. Wonder if he knows the difference between BDS, and the BDS Movement? Most people don't.

    Uhhhh.... I don't! What is it??? I have a (Jewish) friend in LA who is very active in BDS, and I could ask her ... but can you tell me? (I've heard BDS described as a Jewish civil war, and from the Jews I know, this could well be true. Even fifty years ago, at a previous (Jewish) wife's family reunions, so she told me, there would be near-fistfights over Israel, between the Stalinists and the Zionists. Who says blood is thicker than water?)

    I care when they use the military and the death of a soldier in such a DRAMATIC detailed receitation which was entirely made up for political purposes.

    And then he has the gall to go on national TV and say the details don't matter and we shouldn't have believed it in the first place?

    Sure. Boycotting, Divesting and Sanctioning(BDS) are simply the tools that any country can use, as the tools to bring about change in another country. The BDS Movement refers specifically to the Palestinian Movement to get Israel to comply with their three demands. This is an organized Palestinian Movement. It is this Movement that Tulsi, Bernie, and Warren are against. Why? Because of the 3 Palestinian demands on Israel. The first two are fine, but the third demands that all 6 Million Palestinian refugees in Palestine(or their children), must be allowed to return to reclaim their homes in Israel. This would be the end of Israel. Here's why;

    There are 5 Million Jewish Israelis and 2 Million Palestinians living in Israel now. If we allow 6 Million more Palestinians to return to reclaim their homes in Israel, the demographics of the Israeli population would change. It will now become 8 Million Palestinians and 5 Million Israeli Jews. With an Arab Palestinian majority now, what do you think will happen? Do you think that the state of Israel will still be called Israel? Do you think that Israel's quasi-Democracy, will not be replaced with Palestinian Sharia Law? I'm not a fan of Israel, and their human rights violations. But I don't want any sovereign country to end.

    So, BDS are the political tools countries can use. And, the BDS Movement is specifically a Palestinian Movement working to achieve its own political or social goals in Israel.

    If I lived in the US I would go 12" SBR AR-15, a 22LR rifle, Glock 17 in 9mm, and an 870.

    Why not.

    Got it. And I agree with you. But .... isn't Israel aiming, effectively, to annex the West Bank? If not, what's the point of those settlements? And when they do, won't that drastically alter the demographic balance ... so they will not be able to make the Palestinians citizens, and will end up with an apartheid state.
