Buckle up

Lean McElrath reminds us, now that an official impeachment inquiry is under way:
The same entities who invested resources into putting Trump in the White House aren’t going to sit back quietly while we sort out the chaos.

They’re busy creating more chaos. Buckle up.
The moodyfoodie asks:
What does buckling up look like to you? Stockpiling weapons, food and water? Survival kits and fuel? A fallout shelter? CB radios in case our cellphones get blocked?
Alas, no answer for that.



Greg Olear wrote the book Dirty Rubles: an Introduction to Trump/Russia. He tweeted a thread about two developments associated with the National Rifle Association. First, the Senate Finance report showed the NRA allowed Moscow to influence its policy. Second, NRA head Wayne LaPierre met with the nasty guy and offered “financial support for the president’s defense” if the nasty guy would stop gun control legislation.

Olear then documents how out of sync the NRA leadership is from its membership. Why? He also shows the AR-15 assault rifle is the weapon of choice of mass shooters. But very few Americans, including very few NRA members want that weapon to be legal. So why is the NRA leadership insist the AR-15 stay legal?
You know who wants AR-15s to remain legal? Vladimir Putin. He WANTS us shooting each other. It makes the US look terrible internationally, and it makes Russia, with its strict gun laws, look responsible by comparison. There’s simply no other rational explanation for NRA’s refusal to budge on the AR-15, given the Senate Finance report.

LaPierre is, in effect, lobbying for Moscow, to help ensure that mass shootings keep happening in the United States—to please his Russian whoremasters. Wayne LaPierre chose Torshin, Butina, and Putin over San Bernardino, Parkland, and Sandy Hook. The NRA, in effect, sacrificed KINDERGARTENERS to do Russia’s bidding.

These are the worst sort of traitors. Words fail to describe how evil this is.
