This Huckabee Sanders woman should run for the exits and not turn around. For the rest of her career (or life) she's going to have to admit that she defended this inexcusable, childish behaviour.
How can people like her and Spicer not see this? I get being a conservative and a Republican, and it's understandable that you'd want a job in the White House, but there's no way this whole thing isn't going to be seen as a disaster. And here they are, putting their necks out there to defend this lunacy.
I'm greedy too, but I could never just give up on morality and work for this disgusting man and lie to everyone I've ever met just to score a book deal.

Mr. President, your tweet was beneath the office and represents what is wrong with American politics, not the greatness of America.

And I need people like him to stop acting like this is a surprise. This was campaign Trump, this was president-elect Trump, and nothing has changed now that he's the most powerful man in the world. He's still an immature, thin-skinned misogynist. None of this is surprising.
It's just amazing that enough of America believed his shtick to get him elected even though this comment is just par for the course with this guy.

Convince me this country is not headed toward violence?
On the plus side I don't trust many red staters to be able to fire accurately whilst riding upon their little rascals. As long as you avoid Golden Corral parking lots and WalMart you should be fine.
That video is horrifying. "There are people who have an agenda that is contrary to your values. They're doing terrible things and saying terrible things. You're going to need a gun in order to deal with them."
Even the title is just beyond the pale. "The violence of lies"... this notion that statements, even mendacious ones, are a form of violence that can reasonably be responded to with actual physical violence is one of the biggest potential powder kegs out there right now.

The NRA doesn't care about gun owners, just potential gun purchasers. Those cowards wouldn't step up and defend Philando Castile. They just want to keep everyone scared and armed to the teeth.
Trump reportedly scrambling to get together a list of accomplishments for an upcoming performance review with his boss.
Quote:
President Donald Trump has asked National Security Council staff to come up with "deliverables" that he can offer to Russian President Vladimir Putin during their meeting on the sidelines of the G-20 summit in Germany next week, The Guardian reported Thursday.
It is unclear what those deliverables would look like, but they could include an offer to ease sanctions — which the Trump administration has reportedly looked into at least twice since January — or to give back the Russian diplomatic compounds that President Barack Obama ordered evacuated in December. Obama issued new sanctions and closed the facilities in response to Russia's meddling in the 2016 election.
The White House did not respond to a request for comment.
The Dana Loesch NRA ad is because gun sales have collapsed without Dems in power. Remember after every single mass shooting in the Obama era, gun sales would always spike because the NRA and the gun nuts would immediately pivot to "they're coming for our guns". But now with the GOP in charge of everything, those appeals to drive gun sales simply don't work. So gotta find other ways, but even that ad won't work.
What that ad once again tells me is America needs to split apart. The West Coast and Northeast become their own (very rich) country, Middle America becomes it's own (very poor, rule of law likely based on the Bible) country. People like Loesch and Middle America hate those liberals states anyway, seems like a deal where everyone wins (if you ignore New Murica probably being poorer than Mexico).

Now this is accurate as hell. I get multiple notifications a day of gun sales and ammo availability. You can buy a decent light AR-15 for under $400. You can also get any variety of ammunition, and in numbers, for prices 15-20% off what they were pre-election. The gun manufacturers are hurting right now.
