    ...maybe the NRA could start a new promotion:

    "A gun in every laundry mat keeps America clean!"

    ...not so much for federal agencies or lobbying groups, but still...

    This might be nothing at all... stuff some obscure and questionable source dug up and ran with. Or... its YUGE. btw, the source identifies itself as: "Four Corners is Australia's premier current affairs program, and has been part of the national story for more than 50 years. An official @ABCaustralia account."... so it sounds like an Australian version of the show Bill O'Reilly rose to fame on...

    Post edited, tweet put in spoiler because tweet contains an expletive:

    You'd really hate the reporting of Robert DeNiro last night... I understand he cussed twice. Twice. But since I do try to avoid expletives... I will edit the post by putting it in a spoiler.

    Lol, I cringed then I laughed. You guys have jumped the shark. It's over. At some point some self awareness is needed. Bashing trump at every instance is not the best strategy. Stuff like this is turning people off just FYI

    LOL, trump fans have become such snowflakes... worrying more what an entertainer says about trump than what trump and his cabinet say about the PM of one of our closest allies... "a special place in hell?"

    Aim those words when he is not in office. Have some respect. I haven't cussed either Clinton and there is no way i would call obama an expletive.

    I know I applauded you when you criticized Joe Wilson for shouting out "You lie!" at Obama's State of the Union. I also know you have spoken out each time trump said and did offensive things...

    The whole Putin operation has been a long con played by the book. Putin leveraged Brexit to achieve the goal of cutting Britain off from Europe. And supported Trump to fracture the United States. Dugin himself knew Trump would be a victory for Russia.

    From Quartz:
    Though Dugin’s close connections with the Kremlin have wavered over the years, he certainly has significant influence on the country’s political ideology. His book, Foundations of Geopolitics, has reportedlybeen used as a textbook by Russia’s armed forces military academy, and he is a prolific public speaker.

    So far, so quintessentially Ruski-mad. But Dugin has also identified an ally in Donald Trump, viewing him as a triumphant opponent to the liberal global elite. After Trump was elected, Dugin told the Wall Street Journal he was elated at the result. “For us it is joy, it is happiness,” he said. “You must understand that we consider Trump the American Putin.”

    Putin leveraged the UK leaving a customs union to achieve cutting Britain off from Europe? This doesn't even make sense. Euros need to get better propaganda.

    It's a shame Germany will have to cover future shortfalls of their project but massive control over 27 states comes at a price.

    I'm gonna get crucified (to heaven) but . . . I don't really GAF about the Russians. People inside America are screwing us the hardest.
