NRA Braces for Investigation by Collecting Years of Russian-Linked Documents

Source: CNN

The National Rifle Association is setting aside years of documents related to its interactions with a Kremlin-linked banker, as the gun-rights group appears to be bracing for a possible investigation, according to sources familiar with the situation.

The NRA has faced fresh scrutiny from congressional investigators about its finances and ties to Alexander Torshin, one of the 17 prominent Russian government officials the US Treasury Department recently slapped with sanctions. The gun-rights group has said it is reexamining its relationship with Torshin, who is a lifetime NRA member, in the wake of the sanctions.

My impression of James Comey after seeing CNN Town Hall

His cadence, his body language, the quality of his answers - they all tell me he is either a gifted actor or highly:

Intelligent

Humble

Honest

Deeply thoughtful

Empathetic

No sign of being an asshole.

For these reasons, I have a lot of respect for him.

Do I believe him? Absolutely. I think he is a noble man.

Waffle House murderer - what would you like to happen to him?

I would be interested to see your views.

Assuming he is found guilty and it is shown he has had long-term dangerous mental health issues, what would you like to happen to him?

1/ Prison for life because he deserves punishment and the people need to be protected.

2/ Death sentence because he deserves to die for killing others.

3/ Mental institution because that's where he should have been anyway and the system failed.

4/ An alternative to the options above.

While Trump threatens Mexico with wall/immigrant blockade/trade war, Mexico & EU reach historic deal

Mexico and the European Union have reached a trade deal that virtually eliminates tariffs.

Officials appeared to take a jab at US President Donald Trump's policies in statements praising the Mexico-EU deal as a defense of "open" and "rules-based" trade.

"Mexico and the EU worked together and reached a mutually beneficial outcome," said European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker. "We did it as partners who are willing to discuss, to defend their interests while at the same time being willing to compromise to meet each other's expectations."

The deal marks a move by Mexico to pivot away from its reliance on trade with the United States.

At some point soon Trump will be asked about Stormy Daniels under oath

Did you have sex with that women?

Did you know about the payment made by Michael Cohen?

No way, will Trump not commit perjury. He can't open his mouth without lying or digging a hole.

Ugly creature with tiny penis named after Donald Trump

It has a silky head of bright yellow scales, which the moth develops in adulthood, and its head has been described as orange-yellow in colouration, the body is white and the wings are brown or greyish.

Also an important detail - its genitalia is “comparatively smaller” than that of the Neopalpa neonata, its close relative.

Nazari has therefore named it thusly: Neopalpa donaldtrumpi.


Oh yes, yes he did: the evolutionary biologist named the moth with the white-blonde tresses and small genitalia, after Donald Trump.

UK nerve agent attack must have been used by the world's most incompetent spy

Am I the only one who thinks it is strange how we are supposed to believe that a professional assassin working for Vladimir Putin used a nerve agent that would immediately be traced straight back to one man in particular, called Vladimir Putin?

Of all the ways to kill, silence or shoot somebody, or to arrange an accident or a fake suicide, the bumbling secret agent working for Putin chose the one method that meant all roads lead to Putin. Is that really what we are supposed to believe?

The most honest three minutes in TV history

Facebook shares plummet - why aren't Democratic lawmakers ensuring Trump plummets too?

ADDITIONAL NOTE:

Following comments, I want to be clear that this post isn't about attacking Democrats. It is about messaging. We need to be as aggressive in our messaging and taking down the other side as Republicans have been.

ORIGINAL POST:

Why aren't Democratic lawmakers dragging Trump into the Facebook scandal? The Trump campaign was in the center of it, with Bannon being VP of Cambridge Analytica and CA working directly for the Trump campaign using information of Facebook users.

If this was a scandal that involved Democrats the cries from the other side would be: "This is worse than Watergate," This is an abuse of the trust of the American people," "Democrats ignored the privacy of Facebook users and used every dirty trick to win the election," "We need an investigation into how Democrats used Social Media platforms to steal the election."

My point is, here is another opportunity to further discredit Trump, but again there seems to be no fight, no passion, no outrage, nothing coming from the Democrats.

Prediction: Trump's week of being an asshole - Rasmussen will soon have him back up to 50%
