The 2nd Amendment according to LaPierre:
“The right to keep, bear, carefully or carelessly aim or shoot arms and the obligation to refrain from any gun legislation of any kind and duty to speak of arms and the gun industry and gun industry lobbyists with utter devotion and without access to gun research shall not be infringed.”
You can see her actual kitchen in the American History Smithsonian in DC.
I would love to do that. I think I had heard that but forgotten it and I would dearly love to see it.
My husband and I will have to make another trip to DC - we went once in 1984, before we were married. O my god does that sound like a long time ago now.
And of course the hypocrisy continues:
So it’s ok to insist on guns in the schools, in our stores, in our stadiums, everywhere… EXCEPT in an NRA convention where the pro-gun President is speaking.
Seriously.
“The eight-year assault on your Second Amendment freedoms has come to a crashing end,” Trump told the members of the National Rifle Association, assuring them that they now “have a true friend and champion in the White House.”
What a disgusting, pandering, demagogic lowlife asshole. As any remotely reasonable person knows, there is absolutely no truth that sentence up there, in fact the reality is the opposite. And more name calling, Jesus Fucking Christ, who the fuck does he think he is? How is a president supposed to fucking talk and behave?
(Pardon my French.)
Could be this is why the NRA doesn’t allow open carry at their meetings (and for good reason apparently). Now I have watched and tried to analyze what this idiot was attempting to do but it eludes me. He’s right up next to his target and attempts a quick draw. *What did he intend to do?" shoot the target from 3 inches away? Any way here’s the clip:
Bathes? Why not Showers? Golden ones.
Trump Bathes Audience In Conservative Shout-Outs
Here in Arizona the legislature in its magnanimity thought it a grand idea to legalize open carry in bars. Guns and alcohol …what could possibly go wrong? This isn’t snark. I am quite serious…it is legal to have a side arm in plain view while sucking down suds.
Shout outs? Didn’t he mean shoot outs?? You know Cop n robbers, cowboys n Indians where nobody gets killed or injured?
Votre français est très bien
Then why hasn’t he resigned and said “I was just foolin’. I don’t wanna be president! All I wanted was a better deal for hosting The Apprentice”
It would certainly be better fr us all if he split.
I truly believe the NRA is one of the, if not the single most dangerous organization in the United States today. The scope of their power is unbelievable, and they appear unstoppable. All this, despite the fact polls show a majority of the country clearly opposes their agenda.
And now this. This paranoid, sociopathically narcissistic bully is in total power, with his thuggish Republican Party behind him, supported by their braindead, mouth-breathing “base.” This country is going to hell in a handcart.
I guess the same reason he didn’t say “Ok, I wanted to prove I could win the election with better numbers than Obama I won a landslide in the Electoral College like no other Republican ever. I don’t want to be president, I’m done.”
I guess.
Like W said, power is a drug and being president is being powerful.
DJT did say he had Yuuge inauguration crowds and an eeeenormous number of votes in the electoral college. A landslide even But the "I don’t wanna be president thing…no. But 2 outta 3 ain’t bad. DJT could never quit now. That would be admitting failure and his ego won’t let him have a Nixon moment. If he is still around in 4 years (Damn that seems a long way off) I would not be surprised if he somehow refuses to leave office.
edit
I am still holding out for him to be gone by October 1st. I think the Russia story is gonna blow wide open this summer.
Hah! Still laughing at that one!
It’s got to blow open eventually. I was hoping for sooner than October, but you know what? My birthday is the 2d and that would be one hell of a birthday present. I think I’ll join you in holding out for him to be gone by the 1st.
That would be just about perfect.
The only journalist staying on this story apparently is Rachael Maddow. There’s a ton DJT could be impeached for right now if the GOPers could be convinced to do it for the good of the country. Then again something north of 90% of trump voters are satisfied with what he is doing. That really bothers me. It means I’m surrounded by walking brain dead zombies.
What’s 90% of 26% of the total voting population? Those are the zombies.
There really aren’t that many of them.
I’m not looking to starve!
