Honestly I just watched episodically. While I was actually doing tax-related stuff. As unfortunately Im a Japanese resident who pays about 30% taxes (despite all the deductions and loopholes I can use. So unfair :()

That's the penalty you get for holding a real job. :p

Watching debate while doing tax stuff? You should pull your fingernails at the same time to hit a jackpot.

yeah good idea. Or slap myself in the face. Sthg I nearly did a few times when watching that trainwreck of a debate, just to make sure I was not hallucinating
 
no, YOU might argue that my friend, because that’s exactly what you predicted would happen to Biden (if he even dared to show up, sthg on which you also cast doubts). You are very gifted at putting new (to be debunked later) spins on old (factually debunked) spins, I admire your persistence at that game by the way.

Again, you are getting WAY too emotionally invested in this. Seriously, you wasted an hour and a half of a weekday morning simultaneously glued to your computer screen and volunteering as the TAG play-by-play reporter covering a silly debate in a foreign country over an election you can't even vote in?

As your savior Joe loves to say when he gets frustrated, like tonight: COME ON, MAN!

You really should follow my lead. I got home from work, poured a beer, grabbed some Tillamook Sausage Sticks from Costco and watched the debate with my other half, who probably understood perhaps 10% of the dialogue but was very troubled by "KAWAISOOO OJIICHAN!!" (Biden) being bullied on TV. I exchanged a couple of humorous texts with friends in D.C. I had a cigar on the balcony. Then the debate ended. I turned off the TV and stopped giving a shit. Then I cooked dinner. No sense whipping yourself into a frenzy over one stupid debate when there are two more to go.
 
On a more pertinent note, this morning I wholesale ordered two more cases of 30-round PMAG magazines and a couple of 60-round PMAG drum magazines for my AR-15 and AK-47, just like I did in 2008. If Biden manages to win, those fuckers will be worth their weight in gold. Twelve years ago I spent thousands stockpiling rifle magazines and in the post-election frenzy made all of my money back by selling just a quarter of what I bought. And if Trump gets re-elected, I can sell them off retail price to friends at the range and end up with enough profit for a couple of bottles of nice wine or a box of good cigars. Always look for that silver lining! That outta trigger at least one of TAG's snowflakes.

Well you can spend that money on P4P instead. Its not like Japan has a huge risk of retards left shooting at retards right (and vice versa) on the streets . Not that I think Hawaii has such risk either , tbh

You kidding??? That's called a very rational business model. I don't pretend to know the laws in France but I'm going to assume you folks don't have anywhere near the firearms freedoms we do stateside and therefore aren't very familiar with the gun market, but standard-capacity rifle magazines (incorrectly called "high capacity assault rifle magazines" by dickless gun banners) are a massive commodity in changing political climates.

Not to go into too much detail, but an example...back in 1993 you could buy basic 25-round magazines for a simple .22 rifle for about $12 at any WalMart. In 1994 the Clinton "Assault Weapon Ban" went into effect, banning sales of these mags but also with a grandfather clause. By 1998, those fuckers were going for up to $150/each private sale. I sold almost all of mine. In 2004 the AWB expired and those mags are now back to about $20.

In 2008, when Barack Obama started rising in polls, I started purchasing AR-15 magazines, milspec and aftermarket, for around $15-$25 each. I spent a couple grand on multiple cases, and after Obama was inaugurated there was unprecedented frenzy buying and massive shortages of all gun parts, especially magazines. Now those same mags were going for $50 up to $80 or even $100 each. I sold a case, made most of my money back and I still have enough 30-round mags for the next zombie apocalypse four times over.

Joe Biden has promised to make that idiot fucking douchebag Beto O'Rourke his "gun czar" if elected. Beto is promising to ban just about anything and everything he can think of (but not spell correctly). That means if Joe Biden wins, just one of the cases of mags I bought is going to fund my Rolex GMT-II Batman or a really, really happy adventure in Bangkok.

It's just like any savvy stock market investor, making money in good times and bad. I just know guns a lot better than Wall Street.
 
The debate was hilarious. Trump got in some fantastic zingers but Biden and Wallace also did well. Funniest debate since Reagan's standup act.
(paraphrased)
Wallace: ... and Biden had rallies too but were smaller
Trump: no one wanted to go ... he got maybe 2 or 3 people to come

Trump: can I be honest? ...
Wallace: yes, please do

Thanks USA, you're the best exporter of entertainment.

My family tried selling off most of my rifles during the years I was living in Japan. They weren't very successful. Better yet, they didn't realize what I was doing in 2008 when I was still living in Osaka but started stockpiling gun parts through mail-order. Box after box started arriving at the family home and they just dumped them all in my old bedroom. When I finally got home a year later, I had enough shit to start WW3. You name it, I had ordered multiple times...custom AR uppers, custom barrels with welded flash-hiders and free-floating tactical rails, heavy buffers and slide-lock extenders, brand new holsters and tritium sites for all of my favorite pistols, hundreds of 30-rnd mags and all sorts of offensive bumper stickers, too. It was like redneck heaven on fucking steroids.

I'm not going to invest anywhere near as much money this time as a Biden victory is nowhere nearly as certain as Barry's was, plus I already have cases of shit in storage and hidden from the other half. Just a few more for good measure and then I'll watch and wait.

well you actually make a good case for Democrats to be elected , it seems :)
 
The only way that debate could have been worse was if Kanye was participating.

Any high school debating team with a weeks prep could have out-performed the two of them on Covid issues.

You haven't heard the old law: firearms are to be bought but never sold. I have mine spread over several friends back in the Old Country with the promise if my licenses get revoked the guns disappear magically.

yeah but in your case you have real threats to worry about : huge bears, alcoholic ex-Soviet soldiers (maybe a few ex-Nazis too), half-human wild beasts, cannibals, never-convicted rapists , zombies etc
Tough hood. I respect that
 
alcoholic ex-Soviet soldiers (maybe a few ex-Nazis too)

You Frenchies use way too many words. If you say Soviet you don't need to say alcoholic anymore. And what do you mean by ex-Nazis? The old guard never surrenders.

He wouldn’t say. Too afraid. Hence the guns :)

Everyone knows. Except you that is.

My three favourite rifles that I own are AK-47, M1 Carbine and Arisaka type 38. That should give you a good hint where is the Old Country.

Just to know where I shouldn’t go.

Saying like they would let you in.

Actually, I do know . Even a few other people from that neck of the wood. Be very afraid Mikey, bwaaaaah ah ah

If you really knew then you'd know we don't even know the word "fear".

Not because we are brave, but because "fear" has too many letters for us to read.
