RE: AK vs. SVD vs. PSL

I worked with a guy named Sergey (you can guess where he was from) once. I’ll never forget a conversation with him where someone brought up “AK-47’s” (read with a RUS accent):

“No, no you don’t vant AK-47, is Chinese built piece of $hit. AK-74 is quality *RUSSIAN* piece of equipment...”

The irony of working with a Russian after my mother’s family had to flee from them in Yugoslavia during WWII, and actually getting along well with him...pretty certain now it was actually the Bolsheviks that were the issue.

It always is, regardless of what they are called in any particular time/space.

I attended the DJT Town Hall in Flint yesterday. Sat in line for two+ hours, totally worth it as the young couple in front of me were found to be “Q-enabled” so the conversation and time passed pretty well. We finally got in, and for the first 25 minutes or so of Sara Huckabee Sanders intro, it almost felt like I was “off the clock” for once and able to actually enjoy what was happening. Well, it felt that way for a while at least.

The event was put on I believe by Trump47, which some people locally have noted is where the local Deep State filters money from the RNC to their friends via donations (allegedly). Some of the local good grassroots weren’t too interested in attending because of this, but as far as I was concerned we needed to support our president regardless and so I went.

The Dort Center only holds about 8k people (minor league hockey center), so it’s not like it’s a 40k+ people venue. And of course the state convention in Michigan was just held there less than a month ago so I was familiar with the place. And like most GOP gatherings that are pro-Trump, TPTB seem to go out of their way to make people attending as uncomfortable as possible. Wild temperature fluctuations, “Oops, we ran out of ice”, “Can’t get pizza shipped in because of Trump, you’ll have to wait for us to make more parmesan breadsticks”, can’t bring your own water...the list goes on and on.

I was keeping an eye out for people I knew, but unfortunately a couple deep staters popped up. One in particular, the former DHS guy that was looking for WMD’s in Iraq (aka “Pool Boy” from my previous posts) kept showing up near the middle of the arena. Now I know that there’s a crack security team and equipment (like LG) protecting DJT, but this guy has been head of the local Deep State Sargent at Arms ever since I started getting involved locally. I couldn’t help but think if anyone could smuggle in a weapon it would be him and the local band of miscreants.

In keeping an eye on him, he started floating around between the media stage and the Town Hall stage. I’m talking he was a few times within 20 yards of the President. For those of us that know, the event started becoming less fun. Unfortunately, the closest security near me to bring an alert to were Flint’s finest. The same folk that escorted the legitimate GOP chair Kristina Karamo offsite for “trespassing” less than a month ago.

To make a long story shorter, two of the “beefier” (trustworthy) security gents did show up and stay within a 15’ radius of Pool Boy, but not before some of the other security appeared to notice I wasn’t smiling/interacting the same as the rest of the folks in the crowd and started keeping an eye on me fiddling with my cell phone for pictures of Pool Boy to show security.

The “surround sound” aspect of this show is unreal. Especially when I was directed to “section 17” upon entering the venue. On a certain day of this month.

Carry on FreeQs. Uber out.

He’s not wrong. I have the civilian version of the AK-74 and the booklet that came with it is written in Russian.
