Good news for the NRA is that I’m willing to be their CEO, but only require a 3 million dollar home and I don’t need a golf cart.
I'd have it written into my contract that Dana Loesch had to be a human ottoman between the hours of 7 and 9 at least 3 days a week.
You're not wrong, but I guess you guys go off of the 1mo, 2mo, of 3mo rates vs the 10yr rate, which have been inverted for several weeks. As of yesterday, they were at 2.05, 2.08, and 2.05 vs 1.73, respectively. https://www.treasury.gov/resource-c.../Pages/TextView.aspx?data=yieldYear&year=2019
I’d make her do outreach in the hinterlands she claims to love so much. “Good news, Dana. You’ll be in Idaho and Eastern Washington for the next three months going to town halls. Thirty dollar a day per diem. Knock em dead, Tiger.”
Authorities were called on Tuesday because someone turned on the gas and lit the stove burner. Gas was shut off Tuesday. Then the house blows up right after midnight?
Who is the douche who argued against warrens forgiveness plan and said we already have mechanisms for forgiveness thru service?
I’m not sure there has ever been a more narcissistic man who ever lived. How were the victims of the shooting holding up? Great, I’m a rock star!
Liberal media won’t tell you how juiced up the gunshot victims were when President T showed up. Place went through the roof.
98% of gun groups and the NRA’s targeted candidate money continues to go to Republicans. So here is a top 20 list of congressional representatives taking the most money in recent years from the gun lobby, according to OpenSecrets.Org. These are numbers from the 2017-2018 election cycle and while some of these folks are no longer in office (in italics), the damage they’ve done in the name of blood money endures. Ted Cruz (R-TX) received $309,021, but if you want to go shooting with him you better have a background check. No, seriously. Martha McSally (R-AZ) and her $227,928, have gotten her through losing elections but we will see where that goes as she will actually have to defend the seat she was not elected to this coming year. Steve Scalise (R-LA) took his $132,831 and a few bullets but he’s ready to oppose all gun safety proposals. Devin Nunes’ (R-CA) $95,093 couldn’t stop him from being one of the worst people in the history of people. Marsha Blackburn’s (R-TN) $85,168 is now a quiet little secret as the blue wave freaked her out, and so during this election cycle she’s pretending that she hasn’t spent a good part of her career extolling the virtues of guns. Dean Heller’s (R-NV) $76,713 from the gun lobby got him to vote against everything from background checks to magazine sizes. Paul Ryan (R-WI) liked collecting $65,347 from the gun lobby and loved blocking the CDC from collecting gun violence data. Handel, Karen (R-GA) had to show up at the NRA convention in 2018 for some more of that $58,813, but she was afraid of being seen with Donald Trump. Not sure why. Mia Love ‘s (R-UT) $50,233 didn’t win her reelection but her early retirement has led to her new bright idea that Republicans should have a policy plan for gun violence. John Culberson (R-TX) and his $43,575 in gun money proves the rule that if you are conservative with a “TX” next to your name, you are cashing blood money checks on the regular. Greg Gianforte (R-MT), $43,525, the man who assaulted a reporter over tough questions spent a lot of campaign money attacking the idea of an assault weapon registry. Lou Barletta (R-PA) $41,747, has one big solution to mass shootings: “curtail” elected officials town hall meetings with their constituents. Kevin Cramer (R-ND) received $39,796 from the gun lobby. Maybe they were impressed with his ability to compare immigrant children’s detainment cages with “playgrounds?” Will Hurd (R-TX) took that $38,350, becoming the only African American Republican in the House of Representatives. Hurd announced his plans to not run for reelection at the beginning of August. Cindy Hyde-Smith (R-MS) didn’t have to give back the $34,986 she received from the gun lobby after she made a lynching joke and photos of her rocking Confederate gear hit the internets. Maybe wearing racist stuff doesn’t matter to the NRA and other gun enthusiasts when you have a racist organization’s gun in your hands as well? Barbara Comstock (R-VA) and the $34,453 she got from the NRA was not able to overcome the blue wave 2018 elections. Pete Sessions (R-TX) lost his reelection bid, but not after blaming gun violence on “diversity” in American culture, and also receiving $34,200 from other like-minded gun folks. Jim Renacci (R-OH) took his $33,284 in gun money, and a strip club owner’s private jet all around Ohio in hopes of taking Sen. Sherrod Brown’s seat. Cathy McMorris Rodgers (R-WA) $30,297, has been voting red for so long, come hell or high water, that gun money just always trickles in. Mike Coffman (R-CO) and his $28,085 in gun money were the focus of successful Republican attack ads. Here are some additional highlights from the 2016 top gun money makers: Ron Johnson (R-WI) took $165,538 and has proven that his special talent as a lawmaker is not understanding how or what laws are—especially in regards to guns … and bombs. Rand Paul (R-KY) likes $110,500 of gun money, loves guns, and also likes inciting violence against U.S. representatives that are not white. But that’s mostly because Rand Paul, like his father, is a racist shithead. Pat Toomey (R-PA) spent his $79,908 in gun money pretending to work “behind the scenes,” on magical gun legislation that no one has ever seen. Ryan Zinke (R-MT) took his $79,068, a pittance considering the fact that he took private meetings as secretary of the Interior with gun manufacturers, in companies he has financial stake in—that he forgot to disclose when he was nominated for the position. Rob Portman (R-OH) only received $52,686 during the 2016 cycle, but he’s one of the top ten all-time moneymakers from the gun lobby. But watch out, gun lobby, Portman once said he thought maybe terrorists shouldn’t be allowed to have guns. Is Portman a commie secret deep state Muslim snowflake? Only time will tell. Kevin McCarthy’s (R-CA) $42,000 gets him to say stupid shit like “video games” are the real reason why people with guns kill people. Josh Hawley (R-MO) got a healthy dose of NRA money for his Senate run in 2018. Dark money poured into his senate race against Claire McCaskill and his campaign was accused of illegally coordinating large ad buys in the state of Missouri with the NRA. The people involved were accused of the same scheme during the 2016 election, where they coordinated with the Trump campaign. This past cycle saw the NRA’s campaign contributions dwindle as their own finances have been called into question, and the return on their investment in war didn’t yield the same election results as previous years. But that money is still powerful enough that CNN reported 49 out of 50 Republican officials asked avoided speaking on air about the last couple of days’ mass shootings.
cannot wait until we return to "normal" where our POTUS isn't concerned about every perception of him (and then sending his cronies out to spin lies about it)
can only imagine what the army of twitter users with photos of themselves wearing sunglasses in a truck have to say about this
I’ll get lit the fuck up for this on this board but Biden is so much better out of the 100 person debate setting. The speech he is currently giving is fucking awesome.
I don't necessarily think he is "awful" in debates (although, that may change if he shares a stage with the progressives). His milquetoast policy is just not what I think we need right now.
Sure enough, Trump walked back in to the hospital bigger than alot of the police officers, without his shirt on. He started yelling and telling everyone that they needed to get loud. He said, "When I point to this side of the room, I want you to say 'Make America.' When I point to this side, I want you to say, 'Great Again.'" Standing there with no shirt on with every guy in the room shirtless, started pointing to each side of the room. Half the people would yell, "Make America" while the other would yell "Great Again." Apparently it got pretty crazy and guys started flipping chairs, yelling, and throwing cooler across the room while chanting Make America Great Again. He then stopped and said, "One more thing. If any of you motherfuckers thinks you can take me, you come up here and get a piece of me right now." He gave everyone an opportunity to come up and fight him and said, "That's what I thought," and walked out of the room.
He’s the foremost authority on what constitutes the “real Midwest and the real Deep South”, so show some respect.
