It’s Time to Own Trump

 

He’s our President and many good things will come from his administration despite his verbal cholera. Sure there are problems but the positives outweigh the negatives by far. I’m taking a break from politics. Too many crooks and haters not serving anything but themselves. Too much hate in the world and too much sensitivity in me to think about the impeach/assassinate crowd and where that all goes.

I’m off to shoot an elk at the end of next month and my Weatherby 300 is reliably hitting a pie plate at 500 yards. See you folks after I kill God’s creatures.

Best of luck and happiness to all the Rico crowd, old and new.

    Pie plates Doc? My Rock River Arms AR-10 and I can do that in our sleep. You need to be hitting tea cup saucers. Happy hunting Brotha.

    Oh and Elk? You going to Wyoming? If so give Rick Poach a call or an IM here on Ricochet.

    Oh, sure. You get me used to snorting with horrified laughter (usually with coffee in my mouth) and then you abandon me for some freakin’ Maine-moose wanna-be.

    Vaya con Dios.

    He is the President at the moment, but our founders gave us the checks and balances to provide for his removal, including impeachment and the ratification of the 25th Amendment.

    We can have all of the positives with a President Pence, without the verbal and twitter incontinence of Trump.

    I put in for the elk lottery in AZ for 8 years and never got picked.  I quit.  Maybe I should try again!  An elk head mount would look good over my mantle.  Too bad the good mounts, drenched as they are in testosterone during the hunting season here (it corresponds with the rut) taste like old washcloth.  Perhaps I should just apply for a cow, tan the hide for a rug and enjoy the meat.

    I shot a Grizz in Alaska with a Weatherby 300.  Beautiful weapon; accurate, good range, powerful punch and not too much kick.  My buddy had a 340 and it kicked like a mule.  Had to sight it in with a sled.

    God Bless and hunt well. Quail season starts in 6 weeks. I’m off to some field trials this weekend. Dogs rule.

    If someone told me 2 years ago that:

    • Donald Trump would have more moral courage than any politician in my entire lifetime
    • that Mitt Romney would red card himself from civilization
    • and that South Carolina would lead the country in racial reconciliation

    I would have questioned your sanity.

    But here we are.

    On the flip side of a bizarro world where nothing makes any sense anymore, my toddler is trying oh so hard to say “toothpaste.”

    Eastern Nev , a cow elk for meat purposes.   Nothing romantic but highly effective , which ironically is a line I use on the missus.

    Late A1 style with tear drop bolt forward assist and caged mag drop highlighted by A1 style hand guard. If you look closely you’ll see that it is being held by a girl.

    I hope you get your elk. By the way it stills seem a bit early for elk, aren’t most of them up in the higher elevations this time of year?

    Did you eat it? Or does one just take the hide for a rug or something?

    Why not both? As I understand it, bear is edible unless it’s been hibernating. Apparently because they don’t excrete during hibernation the meat becomes toxic.

    Edit: But hunting a hibernating animal is kind of a douchey thing to do.

    No, you can’t. Sorry.

    Is this what you are using as justifying your proposed action?  When was the exact date and event when you concluded removal was necessary?  Are you with those poor souls on the other side who cried on the day following election?
