Can someone explain the FBI “bombshell” texts that are out there now? I’m having a hard time following A) the content, because of all the shorthand and first names and B) why anyone cares about them.
Those texts, boy, I gotta tell ya, we've never seen anything like it. We really caught them in the act, didn't we? They never thought they would get found out but they did and boy are they embarrassed! But what's in the texts? Oh--don't worry, they're old news. The REAL story now is... what's in this box? I think you'll really be surprised, believe me.

A National Park Service (NPS) senior official requested the Department of Interior (DOI) make $32,000 worth of design and construction upgrades to an agency-owned housing unit in an attempt to profit from renting out the space as if it were his personal residence, according to an internal report.

A DOI Office of Inspector General (OIG) summary report released Wednesday found that the unnamed NPS official, who served as liaison for two park partners, had "created the appearance of using his public office for private gain" when he requested "unnecessary" upgrades to a park housing unit.

He's also the guy that sued John Oliver and a West Virginia newspaper for "slander," because they called him out as the greedy, evil piece of poo poo that he is. He denies climate change, and is believed to be the guy that has Trump's ear on all things climate and coal.

The fact that he could complain and the GOP just did it proves how utterly in bed this administration is with their corporate masters.

lol if you think the Dems aren't as equally as bought in this day and age.

But then again, Dems became Republicans back in the 90's when they saw how much loving money they could make.

Then become lobbyists after they were done, and make even more loving money.

But choosing between generic GOP Monster that has a lovely policy and even shittier record, and a Dem candidate up that's billing themselves as GOP-Lite, the average voter's still going to vote full-GOP every time.

Actually, it was because they only won the presidency once between 1968 and 1992, so Bill took a different approach. It worked at the presidential level and killed the party at all other levels. Well that and it was no longer acceptable to be a racist progressive, which is what most of the remaining progressive at that time were.

Wonder how long it will take before The NRA changes their message by replacing "your enemies" with "brown people".

When the optics of how religion and guns begin to blur in the manner Mrs. Loesch (the lady in the video) displays, it's only going to be a matter of time before potential zealots (that love their guns, and you're not sure if that's before or after The Bible) start openly calling for a holy war of their own.

The more annoying things I have seen from those labeling themselves as traditional conservatives, is that "Libruls are making me scared to voice mah opinion, becuz The Jews run MSM" or similarly ignorant tripe.

Make no mistake though, I agree rhetoric like this is dangerous.

Though for NRA zealots, perhaps they WANT something to horrifically backfire one day.

This is pretty much the best they can do since it no longer makes sense to put out "Obama's comin for your guns" videos every month.

There's a reason that the NRA is reviled even amongst a significant amount of TFR gun nuts.

People without an R next to their name also own guns, NRA. Keep it up.

e: I've mentioned it before but I've had a bunch of MAGA chuds send me death threats or threats of violence after I've said anything at all that challenges their worldview or seems to depict their Glorious Leader as anything but a perfect godsend. I always challenge them to make good on that threat and 0% have. They're all just big talking, ineffectual retards like their god emperor. Dana Loesch and the NRA are the same. I'm the opposite of a tough guy. There's nothing tough about recognizing that terrified cowards are neutered retards. They're scared, weak old whites who have no power other than talking in a grandiose fashion like Steve Bannon in a cringe-inducing way. The worst people like Dana can do is set fire to a newspaper. ooooooooooohh scary.

good news is the seem content shooting their own, country concerts and churches and whatnot. keep it up retards.

You dispute that there's plenty of corporate money being floated to both parties? Plenty of evidence, if one cares to look.

That alone doesn't strike me with an excessive degree of confidence that mainstream candidates aren't easily bought. Thing is, the GOP is just more up front about it....You know, the variety of bullshit that's expected of them.

Particularly when many Dems that were thought to be standing up for the people, (LOL) went and voted nearly unanimously with the GOP to push for a military budget that I'm not so sure every citizen felt was necessary. Bought and told to pass it by the corps and the military industrial complex? Tough to prove 100%. But I say the intent is certainly plausible here.

Or by pre-emptively caving to give Furious Leader his godamned wall. Same principle.

Okay, what are the complete tallies of corporate political funbucks to each party and the direct correlation with how they legislate?
