Ah, then I can believe that such measures aren’t taught or used

What do you mean with combat shooting? Because here in Finland police is trained to (and required by law) to try to minimize the damage and if possible, to stop someone without killing them, usually by shooting at the legs etc. But that’s more for knife fielding attacker and other situation where such shots are more possible and not when the cops or others are being shot at

Dunno how they would’ve done that, wasn’t he shot from another roof by a sniper while he was still posing an active threat? That’s the image I got from some articles

He also has donated to Democratic cause three years ago. Might not mean anything but we’ll see if they better figure out this guy.

I think you’ll see plenty of attempts after this, some inspired by it and others in retaliation. Fun times for the US

Man, this is gonna make things a lot more interesting in the US

Friendo, I wasn’t trying to change your mind. I was talking about general voter reaction and you made it all about you lmao

Yeah. I didn’t even know people sometimes used DVD to mean just all sort of optical discs. Nothing against Blu-Ray, their quality is excellent. DVDs on the other hand, off.

How’s that recording time, buddy

sensible for businesses

Says so right in your quote

It’s one of those things were people have gotten used to 1080p or better and they remember DVD being pretty good, but when they go back, yeeesh. I remember thinking that about VHS vs DVD. Got used to DVD, remembered VHS being just fine, put a VHS on, oh boy.

DVDs, appealing? Have you watched them lately?

2003

I feel like that’d be important to note right away. That’s two decades ago. Not mentioning that makes it sound a lot more recent. Though I guess he was working the same job back then too.

I mean it’s politics. Not everyone’s cup of tea lol.

I think it could have been worse. It’s still early.

Yeah but he took a real beating in that debate. And I don’t just mean in the polling numbers but his own party’s trust in him as a good candidate. It was a disaster. Recovery is certainly possible but man what a kick to the nuts the debate was to the campaign.

He could be playing coy too. Rope a dope. Build Trump up with confidence to light him up closer to the end. I don’t think that is necessarily the case, but it’s a possible strategy

I think that’s just pure hopium, tbh. Now more than ever after the debate and with the calls for him to step down he should act strong and show he is a good candidate. Not just for fence sitters but for his own party.

Trump did not look better in my eyes. Biden did not look bad. He did say something whacky. But his composure is much more impressive than Trump’s. Trump couldn’t even answer a question he was asked 4 times.

I’m talking in a general voter sense. I’m sure some viewed it as a good showing and that he came off as the better out of the two in it.

I realize all that, but I’m just talking based purely on general public perception and polls over the debate. The whole point of the debate was to get the public and especially fence sitters on your side. I don’t know if Trump’s behaviour managed to convince anyone that wasn’t already on his side, but it was Biden’s atrocious performance that managed to get a lot of people against him and some to side with Trump. Biden’s whole candidacy is now in question. It’s hard to make a worse job in a debate than that, that’s all I mean.

I don’t know you so I can’t say. But maybe, most do that. But the debate is part of the decision making. In this instance, Biden’s performance was dogshit, which was the point. As awful as Trump is, somehow people were more put off by Biden than Trump, if we consider how the polling changed after it. And that’s just awful result for Biden.

I don’t think that came up or showed in the debate so probably didn’t affect it. This is about the debate performance and its effect after all. If people didn’t care about that before the debate, they’re not going to suddenly care after it.

Didn’t Trump gain support from the debate while Biden lost it to the degree that people from his own party are openly calling for him to drop out?

He could have been better

Lmao no shit, would’ve been hard to have been worse
