Hear that, Ms. James? Apparently the NRA has some cash you might want to pursue.

I wonder if their rank and file are fine with their donations going to a man threatening American national security?

LaPierre: “The NRA has been very, very good to you. I would like you to do us a favor though…”

I think that LaPierre’s actual words might have been “but first you need to do us a favor.”

They’ve got his nuts in a vice. Squeeeze! Squeeze hard!

It is going to be fascinating to watch all the enablers and puppet handlers as this progresses… Putin’s pretty much tipped off the House that there are interesting conversations with him out there. Fox is beginning to crack. A few Repubs here and there. Aaah, how sweet it all is!

We should definitely start a head count as the sycophants fall, one by one, to save their own skins.

When the quid pro quo comes back to bite you.
Btw, this is particularly ‘amusing’ because I heard Trump quoted yesterday saying the impeachment proceedings would delay important legislative action, such as measures involving gun control. I was driving and almost swerved off the road,

The report said it was not clear whether Trump or LaPierre raised the prospect of financial support.

Oh, it was definitely Chiselin’ Trump.
