BREAKING EXCLUSIVE: The NRA is setting aside years of documents regarding its ties to a Kremlin-linked banker https://t.co/VBcvFT1CDU https://t.co/HTYCyF4yyX

I’ve never trusted the NRA. They don’t stand for the second amendment. They stand for the gun manufacturers.
This is such a ridiculous statement. They are probably the most influential lobby group with a grassroots effort that isn't matched by anything else. They have done more for expanding 2nd amendment rights after the GCA of 1968 (which created more problems than it solved...go figure).

But, again, you're showing your lack of knowledge in regards to anything gun related...not very surprising though. The lobbying arm of the NRA is just a small portion of what they do (NRA-ILA). They are the largest firearm safety training organization and the largest sponsor of competitive shooting events.

Leftists haven't figured it out it seems. Keep attacking the NRA and its members will fiercely push back. See the record-breaking donations in their last fundraising push.

If I were president, I would be sending a fairly strong message to the UK that if they continue with that (This is the 2nd child dying because the government essentially imprisoned it I believe), they would be losing US support and trade deals real, real fast..

In regards to the White House Correspondence Dinner... I've always disliked Michelle Wolf. Her skits on the Daily Show w/ Trevor Noah really grinded my gears. I've watched that show since 1999 and had to stop shortly after Jon Stewart retired. She took a momentous opportunity to poke fun at the administration, and made some good jokes... But she did what she always seems to do, go too far and attempt shock value laughs. I was laughing when it started and ended up facepalming on the sofa when it was over. With all the wonderful comedians we have, why was she chosen??? Her humor is good to a very limited audience.

Yeah, she’s about as pleasant as genital herpes. That was an absolute disgrace at humor.

Being a complete jack*** is the new cultural norm...

What I find so funny is the rage expressed by ardent Trump supporters. Do they forget his comment about a botched facelift on Mika? Did they forget his comments on Carly Fiorina and her looks? Sanders was visibly upset and many rushed to her defense, which is fine. But those same people have no problem when Trump does it to opponents. I never was a fan of "comedic" roasts when it came to middle school insults. It is an insult to the audience's intelligence and exposes a lot regarding the cognitive ability of the "comedian." At least Michelle Wolf claims to be a comedian (a very poor one at that) and not the leader of the free world.

Can we end this ridiculous political double standard and bring at least a shred of dignity to Washington and the people that run our country?

Enthusiasm for the Democratic Party is waning among millennials as its candidates head into the crucial midterm congressional elections, according to the Reuters/Ipsos national opinion poll.

Although nearly two of three young voters polled said they do not like Republican President Donald Trump, their distaste for him does not necessarily extend to all Republicans or translate directly into votes for Democratic congressional candidates.

Wow. What a huge mistake.
It is truly pathetic what passes as journalism as of late. Standards are lower than whale crap. The best part was their "editor's note" to basically say they f'ed up. Issue a friggin retraction of the whole since it was 100% false. A pen register and wiretap are COMPLETELY different.

What was the bigger story of the week, Rudy Guiliani basically torpedoing Trump's Stormy Daniels narrative, got lost in the fake news perpetrated by NBC.

The bigger question...how did someone think a pornstar was trustworthy enough to shut up with money?

Trump is going to speak at the NRA convention in Dallas. I’m surprised they invited that turncoat to speak. I’d love to see him booed off stage.
