The good Colonel knocks it out of the park.

Baldwin deserves everything we can throw at him.

And more.

Yup....

“To not engage on the terms that reality has set before you is to accept defeat. You might not like the rules, but there they are. In a society that has made the rule that you pummel your opponent when he is down, to not play by the rule is to unilaterally disarm.”

Executive summary

Great response MM, as usual.

[bagster]

That list reads like a ‘who’s who’ in debauchery!!!!!!

Because it is.

This is an easy one, Baldwin does not deserve anything from the Right, until and unless he changes his ways and earns his way back.

Yes, this is society. We have SNL mocking Biden’s dementia and we all laugh. But where are the adults in his world who denounce Jill for elder abuse and remove this guy from the levers of power. It’s not funny.

[SIDENET]

Anti-gun....but Balwin writes a western aka a shoot'm up...about a man who accidently kills someone....yes with a G U N.

Hey, there's an idea for a new movie!

I wonder who they will get to play Alec Baldwin.

I might not always agree with Mr. Schlichter, actually I think I have read only one article of his that I didn’t agree with, but I really enjoy how he wordsmiths his offerings. Mr. Schlichter’s articles are enjoyable much like the articles I used to enjoy reading from William F. Buckley Jr. however I don’t need a dictionary present to read Mr. Schlichter like I did with Mr. Buckley. There was always gem of a word in Mr.Buckley’s writing that improved my vocabulary and made me grin.

Well done.👍

[Guenevere]

I recognize quite a few who are known to the law, have been convicted.....such as Jeffrey Jones, etc

Quite honestly none of the named surprises me!

[Hugh the Scot]

“I missed the news.”

Can’t argue with that...

[marron]

How do you accidentally shoot two people with a prop gun?

[Carl Vehse]

Alec Baldwin is a clear example of Schadenfreude.

Wow..... what multitudinous blather

Then there was the opposite reaction, in which our folks ran up the score, skewering the gun control zealot’s failure to zealously control his gun. This is playing by the new rules of gladiatorial combat in the cultural coliseum. Those burned out on the lies and calumny we are bombarded with daily tend to go this way; they are angry, and they are more than willing to give Alec a good, hard dose of his own medicine. That’s certainly my inclination. A tweet for a tweet, so to speak.

So, I sympathize with both options, and I cannot get upset at people for choosing one over the other. If you want to go gentle, cool, and if you want to go hard, okay. After all, the rules are the rules, and there can only be one set of them. In the world I would want to live in, we would all be at Option A, whispering a silent prayer for the hurting – and I did. But this is not the world we live in, and none of us are under any moral obligation to pretend we do. This is a world where the rule is that you take an opening in the enemy’s line and you drive a couple divisions hard right through it.

Alec Baldwin is a bad person, but more than that, he is a bad person who hates us with a mortality rate thanks to his hypocrisy. And now he is vulnerable, and the rules say he is fair game – his rules. Is it significant that this amoral, leftist, Trumpophobic gun grabber has personally executed more mass shootings than any Christian conservative Trump-loving NRA member? Not in any kind of intellectual sense – it’s just a thing that happened – but it makes a helluva meme.

Masterful.

Quite honestly none of the named surprises me!

Not even Bill Clinton? The man is happily married.
