Subject: This Is What Idiot Nerds Do When Someone Makes A Point About Deer Stands And Assassination Attempts...

... because they have no arguments.
A deer stand was found near the airport where Trump lands, and THIS is what we
get from the resident nerdos:
"Having a 'direct line of sight' doesn't make it a meaningful threat. Case in
point, we also have a direct line of sight to the moon, and it is well
out of anyone's firing range."
LOL... what!?
"Because folks smarter than you know that the bullet never was going fast
enough to escape Earth's gravity well."
"Which doesn't mean you're not affected by the earth's gravitational
pull. It simply means everything around you is experiencing the same pull. The
far better term for what you misunderstand as 'weightlessness' is 'free fall';
as in you and the spacecraft in which you travel are both falling freely."
"'Weightlessness' doesn't mean that gravity isn't still pulling you. And being
in orbit does NOT mean you are OUT of earth's gravity well. It is earth's
gravity (in combination with the correct velocity) that keeps things IN
orbit."
"Gravity wells are infinite, though they weaken by the inverse-square law."

"I will consider until you can no longer distinguish which body affects
you. Earth, Mars, and Venus affect each other. Pluto and Mercury do not."
So you think you've solved the three-body problem, eh? ;->
Soooo nerdy.
Sooooo on-topic.
Oh nerrrrrds... deer stand... Trump...
PLONK to all!

"Trump Derangement Syndrome" Is a Real Mental Condition
All you need to know about "Trump Derangement Syndrome," or TDS.
"Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS) is a mental condition in which a person has
been driven effectively insane due to their dislike of Donald Trump, to the
point at which they will abandon all logic and reason."
Justin Raimondo, the editorial director of Antiwar.com, wrote a piece in the
Los Angeles Times in 2016 that broke TDS down into three distinct phases or
stages:
"In the first stage of the disease, victims lose all sense of proportion. The
president-elect's every tweet provokes a firestorm, as if 140 characters were
all it took to change the world."
"The mid-level stages of TDS have a profound effect on the victim's
vocabulary: Sufferers speak a distinctive language consisting solely of
hyperbole."
"As TDS progresses, the afflicted lose the ability to distinguish fantasy from
reality."
The Point here is simple: TDS is, in the eyes of its adherents, the knee-jerk
opposition from liberals to anything and everything Trump does. If Trump
announced he was donating every dollar he's ever made, TDS sufferers would
suggest he was up to something nefarious, according to the logic of TDS.
There's nothing - not. one. thing. - that Trump could do or say that would be
received positively by TDSers.
The history of Trump Derangement Syndrome actually goes back to the early
2000s - a time when the idea of Trump as president was a punch line for late-
night comics and nothing more.
Wikipedia traces its roots to "Bush Derangement Syndrome" - a term first
coined by the late conservative columnist Charles Krauthammer back in 2003.
The condition, as Krauthammer defined it, was "the acute onset of paranoia in
otherwise normal people in reaction to the policies, the presidency - nay -
the very existence of George W. Bush."
