NRA

It's been a lonely decade blowing the whistle on Blue Dogs, New Dems and the DCCC... but lonely no more.

As more and more NRA corporate partner flee the NRA cooties and as polls show that voters are finally ready to express their NRA-hatred at the polls, the tone-deaf and clueless DCCC is still clinging to their NRA recruits-- such as Anthony Brindisi (NY), Jeff Van Drew (NJ) and Ann Kirkpatrick (AZ).

by NoahYou didn't really think that the Hou$e and $enate would do anything about making it more difficult to obtain war weapons such as AR-15s and AK-47s, did you? I mean for you to think that you'd have to be naive or stupid enough to have voted for Señor Trumpanzee.

Dispatch is a Boston-based band which just released a new single, "Dear Congress (17)" in response to the spate of NRA/GOP gun massacres. They were moved to release the song after the murders at the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland. All proceeds from the song will be donated to the Brady Campaign, a nonprofit organization dedicated to reducing gun violence in America. Dispatch has been working with the Brady Campaign to raise money and awareness and encouraging their fans to write to their congressmembers and ask them to expand background checks.

How much did the NRA spend on electing Señor T? $20 million? 30 million? It's hard to unravel the numbers; I guess they make it hard. But one thing's for sure... it's more than the NRA ever spent on any candidate in history. Trump. A guy who wasn't likely to win-- and who had a mixed, spotty record on NRA issues. And where did they get that kind of money to throw away like that? Ever hear of Alexander Torshin? He was a Russian senator from 2001 to 2015, a close Putin ally who helps run his United Russia party and the Russian Mafia and the deputy head of the Central Bank of Russia.

Carl Hulse in the NY Times yesterday: "Here’s how significant things don’t get done in Washington even in a moment of crisis and opportunity. The president throws out a hodgepodge of ideas but refuses to put his full weight behind any of them.

Later Kirkpatrick changed almost all her answersWhen a candidate for office has no core values other than their own craven careerism, they'll flip-flop all over the griddle like a fish out of water. Ann Kirkpatrick is one of the worst candidates running for election anywhere in the country. At the urging of the DCCC, EMILY's List and the New Dems, she migrated down to Tucson from Flagstaff to run in the now-open second congressional district.
