      And, to be clear, these are *really* cheap guns. $20 says he got them on sale from palmetto state.

      He "spent years quietly acquiring his arsenal," @bloomberg.com says about buying a pistol and a shotgun.
      
      If the media wants to say people with more than one gun (≈20% of US) have an "arsenal" and are inherently suspicious, fine, but they never talk about Republican gun policies that way.
      The man accused of storming the White House Correspondents’ Dinner spent years quietly acquiring his arsenal, purchasing a shotgun from a Torrance, California, firearms dealer eight months before the attack and a semi-automatic pistol two years earlier, according to a law enforcement intelligence profile reviewed by Bloomberg.

Cole Tomas Allen, 31, bought a Maverick 12-gauge pump-action shotgun from Turner’s Outdoorsman in Torrance in August 2025 and an Armscor semi-automatic pistol from CAP Tactical Firearms in Lawndale in October 2023, the profile shows.

      The new season of Beef is a one episode per sitting kind of show. I genuinely cannot tolerate any more than that (in a good way).

      It's like a person that excitedly thinks you're someone they know, but then realizes they have no idea who you are 😆❤️

      I'm not really sure what "moat" is constantly referring to and at this point I'm too embarrassed to ask. From context clues it seems like a good thing, idk. I've had a pond, a moat sounds like that but even more maintenance.
