If your whole goal is to inflect pain on someone a heavier object (the difference between a 1lb and 4lb object) the brick would have more energy.

see figure #2


I am really surprised that PCgeek or Trump would not have been able to either google this or the intellect would have simply overlooked basic physics..

But the brick wins in multiple categories

I find this format easier to throw; sends a stronger message.

The real takeaway from this is tht Trump can not lift 4lbs. Therefore it is impossible to throw.

Watch out you don’t get hit with the itty bitty can that has 8 big tomatoes in it. It’s like getting hit with a concertina.

You mean, in the absurd scenario where you had the choice of one or the other but not neither?

Here's an idea, how about you address the point he was making?


You mean the point that neither paint balls or soup cans are good.

Then ask them to open one of the cans as proof. I suspect most trumpanzees can't work a can opener, or even get into a pull tab can of soup.

But a brick really loses in the range category. Plus you lose the excuse if busted with a bag of soup you can claim it's food for your children.

Next time just ask for a mental exemption from intelligent discussions, since you're either incapable of understanding the point he's making, or you're pretending to be.

Really digging into the weeds I see.

I wonder why you refuse to see the point that Trump was making.

Maybe take a mental exemption for yourself.


:rolleyes:
Enjoy.

"The weeds" being the discussion you got yourself into, then you then attempted to derail it.

I don't refuse to see any point. Here's the sum total of what he had to say in that clip:

1: Cans can be used to throw at people.
This is a newsflash except to anyone who's paid at least 5 minutes of attention to the topic of policing protests in the last ~60 years or more, that seemingly innocuous objects can be used to hurt people / damage property. Police need to look out for anything that could be used as an offensive weapon / potential missile.

2: People intent on committing violence will attempt to transport potential missiles and other weapons, perhaps utilising cutting-edge technology such as a bag.
Wow. Who would have thunk?

3: Trump attempting to conflate protesters with people wanting to cause violence.
4: Trump doesn't like people protesting, and not due to any sense of empathy.
5: Trump asserting that the media are engaging in a cover-up of violence at protests.
What's to say about these last three points? Anyone who isn't a Trump zealot would not be remotely surprised that he would hold these opinions.

collaborators like pcgeek DGAF, Trump has an R and that's what matters. Trump could shoot someone on 5th avenue and collaborators would blame every but him.
