4 Simple Words That CRUSH The NRA.

"WE WILL OUTLIVE YOU"


February 25, 2018

Striking detail in Schiff rebuttal:


Steele's sources reported that a "senior Kremlin official" allegedly told Page that "Kremlin possessed compromising info on Clinton" and noted "possibility of it being released" to Trump campaign.

FBI saw this as "consistent" w/other info.

Krugman speculates how there just might be a Democratic president in January 2019

I generally stay clear of Russiagate, even though they look guilty as hell, bc I have no expertise. I don't even write much about the self-dealing of Trump and others. But the news that the RNC seems to have been paying off Pence's nephew gives me a weird thought 1/

Suppose this really does take Trump down before the end of his term; and suppose (much less likely, but still) that Pence goes down too. Then it's the Speaker of the House, right? But by January that may well be a Democrat. Bizarre. But possible? 2/

Whiny NRA Releases Statement (Because they are LOSERs)

The NRA is blaming everyone else just like an addict would- people, places and things
- it is everyone else’s fault- none of their own failure:



FAIRFAX, VA – The more than five million law-abiding members of the National Rifle Association have enjoyed discounts and cost-saving programs from many American corporations that have partnered with the NRA to expand member benefits.

Since the tragedy in Parkland, Florida, a number of companies have decided to sever their relationshipwith the NRA, in an effort to punish our members who are doctors, farmers, law enforcement officers, fire fighters, nurses, shop owners and school teachers that live in every American community. We are men and women who represent every American ethnic group, every one of the world’s religions and every form of political commitment.

The law-abiding members of the NRA had nothing at all to do with the failure of that school’s security preparedness, the failure of America’s mental health system, the failure of the National Instant Check System or the cruel failures of both federal and local law enforcement.

Despite that, some corporations have decided to punish NRA membership in a shameful display of political and civic cowardice. In time, these brands will be replaced by others who recognize that patriotism and determined commitment to Constitutional freedoms are characteristics of a marketplace they very much want to serve.

Let it be absolutely clear. The loss of a discount will neither scare nor distract one single NRA member from our mission to stand and defend the individual freedoms that have always made America the greatest nation in the world.

FACEBOOK Helped elect Trump-Gave Clinton a fraction of advertising for the same amount of money

This is crazy.

Facebook effectively charged Trump less for propaganda than it charged Clinton for regular ads.

Facebook gave Clinton a fraction of the advertising impressions for the same amount of money.

Facebook helped elect Trump all on their own.
