More people claim to have seen Bigfoot than those who want to repeal the 2A..


Probably true, but not what the media peddles. Anywho, thank God the few that do are getting plenty of publicity.

I think the word got out. From that Trumptard screed, CNN. You just can't make this stuff up:

Donations to the NRA tripled after the Parkland shooting

(CNN)In the days and weeks following the February 14 shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida, the National Rifle Association saw a significant spike in donations.
In fact, reports from the Federal Election Commission show donations to the NRA's Political Victory Fund tripled from January to February.
In January, the NRA collected almost $248,000 in individual contributions. In February, they collected more than $779,000.
It's no secret that interest in guns and gun sales -- as evidenced by anecdotes and manufacturing numbers -- have until recently gotten boosts from mass shootings. So it would stand to reason that donations to the NRA would get a bump as well.

Since the Parkland shooting happened in the middle of the month, one could argue the relationship between it and the spike in donations is hard to prove.
However, the nonpartisan Center for Responsive Politics, which tracks political spending, tracked itemized contributions (donations of $200 or more by an individual) in the days before and after the shooting. According to their data, in the two weeks after the shooting, itemized contributions to the NRA doubled from the previous two weeks.
They also found the number of people contributing in the seven days after the shooting increased almost 500% from the week before.
The Center for Responsive Politics says it's unclear what caused the spike, whether it was NRA outreach or President Trump's comments after the shooting suggesting he might support tougher regulations on guns.
The NRA's Political Victory Fund contributes money to political campaigns for gun rights-friendly candidates and is only one of the ways the organization receives and spends money.
According to the Center for Responsive Politics, the NRA spent $50.2 million on seven key races during the 2016 cycle. The group backed six Republican Senate candidates and, of course, the winning presidential campaign of Donald Trump.

PLEASE keep the anti-gun rhetoric coming. And give Justice Stevens his own show on msnbc.

Heh. Taken down by a 17 year old. Classic.

[bluetick]

NRA contributions pale in comparison to the 70 million Russian oligarchs gave. Although those funds were specifically NOT earmarked for any campaigns. LOL

I haven’t seen what you’re referring to. But I guess there is a historical precedent. I remember the massive contributions by assorted dictators, sheiks, and presidents-for-life, to the Clinton Foundation during the election season. And of course, the Clinton Foundation shut its doors a few weeks after the election. They must have declared “Mission Accomplished” to all the poor people’s they were supposedly helping, and spend it all on themselves.

I don’t remember you or the Democrats having any problem with that. So in that same spirit, I don’t care what any Russian gave to Trump’s election.

Never heard of Sinclair, but they probably have a bigger audience than CNN. They are spot on. Good for them.

"They are spot on."

Not bad. I’ll give that one a B.

In other news, didn’t Al Gore say ten years ago that the earth was heating up so fast that the polar ice caps would be gone by now? I’ve got good news: the USS Little Rock leaves Montreal after three months trapped in ice;

I wish you were trapped in ice

B- minus. I appreciate the sincere effort, but when it comes to the "I wish you _____" genre, you and everyone else are playing the Salieri to hedge's Mozart.

I find it so fascinating that you are so sure there will be nothing found in the Trump/Russia investigation. You have absolutely no way to know this, no insights, no expertise, nothing but you are still positive you are correct. It's as if the book The Death of Expertise was written about you. It's a good one. You should read it. It might open your eyes a bit.

I kind of don't think anything will come of the investigation, and it all feels almost Orwellian how we're being strung along month after month by multiple interest groups who view American citizens exclusively as sheep to be swayed in their own preferred direction. My guess is the Russian oligarchs did everything they could to support Trump, since Hillary and the neoliberals, per my worldview anyway, had every intention of becoming the singular dominant world power (esp in the ME) with certain allies but for sure no Russia/Putin at the table. I'm also quite certain that the US, for example, did everything we could to influence the 1990 USSR election in whatever way we thought was in our best interest. Granted there was no internet back then so our means were limited.

More and more people are agreeing with you:

THIS IS IT:

Mueller told Trump’s attorneys the president remains under investigation but is not currently a criminal target

Any comments, Tick? The entire Trump Derangement Syndrome Nation will be jumping off bridges tomorrow morning. The entire MSM may have to go offline for lack of staff members who can manage to show up for work.
