Alec Baldwin exclusive: 'The trigger wasn't pulled. I didn't pull the trigger'

George Stephanopoulos' exclusive interview airs Thursday on ABC, streams on Hulu

abcnews.go.com

I know a few here have more of an expertise with firearms, whether from our military or just from getting involved and joining the sport.

My question is, can a F.LLI Pietta Long Colt .45 caliber revolver (which I have zero experience) just aim itself at a person and mysteriously without trigger pull, discharge?

YES

The proud boys were so proud that MOST of them wore bandana's to cover their faces up.
Losers

Due to facial recognition software, I can’t blame anyone that disguises themselves do to extremists. Do I think they look stupid? Yes. However after the January 6 violations done by the FBI to those accused of a misdemeanor and the fact that 400 units used by the military to check ID’s using facial recognition was left in Afghanistan and is currently being used to find and assassinate the SIV’s. It will become the norm.

Now are you a loser for being on here with a fictitious name and avatar?
Is your kid a loser for wanting to be in a rock band when all of us were called Devil worshipers and prohibited from performing in venues around the Bible Belt not long ago. Think about it.

 

[Rick67]

I certainly hope I wouldn't make the cut!!

So did you make the cut Ricky??

ur LGBFJB comment proves it's a hate group and white supremacists

Proud Boys march, hand out flyers in Rockville Centre.
?<<<< you posted this and it's a WHITE POWER SYMBOL

How many nationalities were represented at rockville center?? I see one and one race

Stop blaming minorities and immigrants and women because your life sucks and fix it. People immigrate here from Asia and in one generation they are doctors and lawyers

These guys are right, all you ever have is cut and paste Bologna.
IT'S CALLED RESEARCH...SOMETHING I SUGGEST YOU DO BEFORE JOINING ANYMORE ORGANIZATIONS

Can someone explain to the Racist what LGBFJB stands for and what this means ??.
????

 

[longcast]

YES

Elaborate if you have experience with firearms.

I'm sure it can aim itself at a person but not sure about an "accidental discharge"

I don’t even think a tornado can isolate enough force on a trigger to depress 2-1/2 lbs needed. That’s only after it fully blew the trigger into a cocked position. Remember it’s an old west single action. You have to go to fully cocked position and then depress trigger to fire. No oops.

That is why I asked. Real experience, not cut and paste garbage!

Stop blaming minorities and immigrants and women because your life sucks and fix it. People immigrate here from Asia and in one generation they are doctors and lawyers

Stop blaming America being racist for the failure of minorities and immigrants.

Which is it? You can't have both.

This is the first time I read through this. How long can we continue this? I don't mean this thread in particular. As someone who almost lost my life twice - stroke and then cancer - this thread is both sad and laughable at the same time.

I have very strong political feelings and leanings but I could never bring myself to actually hate anyone, or spew some of the stuff I'm reading here. First - we're all Americans and then we have that second very special bond of fishing. Yet we sit here and attack one another when the truth is when push comes to shove we all would do what we can to help anyone that's in trouble on the water. We wouldn't ask what their position is on the supreme court, we'd throw them a line and do all we can to help that person.

Left - right - middle - we as anglers have to stay united to protect our right to fish. If we battle amongst ourselves we'll lose everything.

interesting read - your mileage may vary....

America's Catch-22 in Taiwan and Ukraine

We can put a thumb on the scales of the balance of power, but we can't provide most of the weight

www.yahoo.com

Nothing could be more threatening to the legitimacy of the Russian state, founded as it is on the promise of restoring Russian power and glory, than peacefully accepting Ukraine's drift into the Western orbit. That doesn't mean appeasement would prevent war; it's far more likely that abandoning Ukraine would, indeed, make Russia all the more convinced it can press further. It means that what looks to Washington like deterrence and support for the integrity of a U.N. member's sovereignty looks to Moscow like provocation that must be answered.

The same dynamic is operating across the Taiwan Strait. From one perspective, is not "rational" for Beijing to initiate military action against Taiwan. This would risk pushing China's neighbors more firmly into America's arms, rupturing important economic relationship with Europe, and, not incidentally, destroying much of the economic value of Taiwan itself.

But reunification with Taiwan has been the central aim of Beijing's foreign policy since 1949. Nothing would be more threatening to the PRC's legitimacy than acquiescence in Taiwanese independence. So any move by the United States to bolster the island's ability to achieve and sustain that status is viewed on the mainland as no different from an attack on China itself. This too is a provocation that must be answered.

America's Catch-22, then, is that to sustain the pretense of a rules-based international order, we must oppose any Russian effort to seize more of Ukraine, even though our opposition may provoke precisely the attack it's meant to prevent, and leave us less able to respond to other, arguably more important contingencies. But if we were to reverse ourselves, and abandon Ukraine to subsumption in a Russian sphere of influence to focus more on the Chinese threat, we'd lose our moral basis for objecting to Chinese demands on Taiwan — which, after all, isn't even officially recognized by the United States (or most of the world) as an independent, sovereign state. We'd trip ourselves with our own pivot.

Will the Public Finally See What Happened in the Capitol Tunnel? › American Greatness

Can’t wait, I seen the video of the woman getting beaten with that pipe. Like to see that one go public.

Will the Public Finally See What Happened in the Capitol Tunnel? › American Greatness​

​

I DOUBT IT!!!​

​

Overview​

Ad Fontes Media rates American Greatness in the Hyper-Partisan Right category of bias and as Unreliable, Problematic in terms of reliability. American Greatness is a news and opinion website created following the 2016 U.S. presidential election. The site aims to be the “leading voice of the next generation of American Conservatism.” The website records more than 2.4 million visits per month.

Overall Score​

The following are American Greatness’s overall bias and reliability scores according to our Ad Fontes Media ratings methodology.

Reliability: 19.75

Bias: 23.09

Panels of analysts from Ad Fontes Media regularly review representative sample content to rate it for reliability and bias. Each panel of analysts comprises one left-leaning, one right-leaning, and one center-leaning analyst.

The team considers a variety of factors when rating content. To determine its reliability score, we consider the content’s veracity, expression, its title/headline, and graphics. We add each of these scores to the chart on a weighted scale, with the average of those creating the sample content’s overall reliability score.

To determine sample content’s bias score, we consider its language, its political position, and how it compares to other reporting or analysis from other sources on the same topic. We add each of these scores to the chart on a weighted scale, with the average of those creating the content’s overall bias score.

The bias rating, demonstrated on the Media Bias Chart on the horizontal axis, ranges from most extreme left to middle to most extreme right. The reliability rating, demonstrated on the chart’s vertical axis, rates sources on a scale from original fact reporting to analysis, opinion, propaganda and inaccurate/fabricated information.

Reliability scores for articles and shows are on a scale of 0-64. Scores above 40 are generally good; scores below 24 are generally problematic. Scores between 24-40 indicate a range of possibilities, with some sources falling there because they are heavy in opinion and analysis, and some because they have a high variation in reliability between articles.

Bias scores for articles and shows are on a scale of -42 to +42, with higher negative scores being more left, higher positive scores being more right, and scores closer to zero being minimally biased, equally balanced, or exhibiting a centrist bias.
