I like Trump plenty fine
But he isnt right about everything, hes not my god, and if I believe hes made a mistake I’m gonna say so
A guy like Trump needs to hear criticism from people who like him, not from people who hate him no matter what he does, or those that are just spineless yes-wimmin
And sometimes its better to say nothing or say something different than what you said
Thanks.

Smart Alec = the only thing that’s a “dummy” in this tragedy.
There is no reason to suppose that Baldwin was a good enough shot to hit the broad side of a barn. The testimony so far is that it was a "quick draw" shot without aiming. It was also at very close range.
If there was any hostile intention behind that unannounced quick draw, it has not yet been revealed in testimony. It was certainly a major safety violation.
Of course, rehearsals are supposed to be conducted with a cleared weapon. It is not supposed to be loaded, even with blanks, during a walk-through of the scene. The Armorer or Weapons Handlers are supposed to personally take care of this. Baldwin, as an Actor, had to have known that from previous experience in several action movies.
Baldwin, as Producer could do anything that he wanted to do on that set, including ignoring all safety protocols. And he did. That is where they might be able to hang him.
My theory is that it is a case of union sabotage. The union had left the set two hours before and were being replaced by non-union workers. The union members were mad as hell. The national union was in contract negotiations with working hours and safety two main areas of contention. I suspect a union member placed a live round in the cylinder along with five blanks and in the position to be fired next. They meant to scare the producers, not kill, but a kill they got.
the left started that with saying the gun was sabotaged by the right
“prop gun” I stopped reading right there
:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
They are abusing that and “misfire”
“Dark”
They dusted that one off from 2016.
my thought too since beginning when i read workers left the job. too many idiots don’t think things through. just a little choice can turn out lots bad.
That was my first thought when this story broke.
Excellent question.
It would be the consummate murder.
What better way to get away with it then to pretend it was an accident and nobody knows anything about who loaded the gun
Gee, officer, it was supposed to not be loaded. It’s not my fault.
I’m not in charge of weapons and ammo. Not my job.
It was an accident. I was just joking. I didn’t mean to hurt her v cause I don’t know who loaded the gun.
Yada, yada, yada…..
the company from which I retired was unionized by the Steelworkers and they are a tough bunch in negotiations. When negotiations bogged down, and a strike was imminent, we at times had sabotage take place. Some we caught before damage occurred, a couple we didn’t. I believe it’s part of a union’s modus operendi.
I agree. Flip the script, with 0bama stating this about any conservative actor in a similar situation.
Good point.
It’s a good way of saying what he knows without saying it.
The armorer is supposed to be the last person to check and handle the weapon before handing it to the actor. If the actor handles/inspects it, the armorer has to inspect it all over again.
Trump should really be above this
Agree.
What is the hold up? “Special class” dismissal level?
