Bizarrely, my investigation was opened and closed within three weeks, while I was at the language school in Monterey. There were other folks who went through a full 63-week course and were still waiting. God, how loving boring was I?!?

Well, there were those contractors a while back that got popped for rubber stamping applications and not actually checking things or interviewing people...

I decided to look it up, and I forgot that it was Biden who murdered Rudy's 2008 Presidential campaign with this sick burn

quote:

The most memorable laugh line from the 2007-2008 presidential debates came from then-Sen. Joe Biden, discussing the presidential campaign of Rudy Giuliani: "I mean, think about it! Rudy Giuliani. There's only three things he mentions in a sentence -- a noun, a verb, and 9/11. There's nothing else! There's nothing else!"

Biden has sat immobile on the Iron Throne of America. He is the Master of Malarkey by the will of the gods, and master of a million votes by the might of his inexhaustible calamari.

All they need to do is pretend to be a news show and invite him on to speak.

What makes the NRA thing distinct from the kind of electoral corruption the SCOTUS has already declared totally above board? Is the quid pro quo spelled out a little too explicitly?

It's gotta be the explicitness. It's not an above board bribe like lobbying.

Plus maybe because the NRA is up to its neck in rubles.

Would this be a bribe instead of a quid pro quo? Accepting money in return for acting in the NRA's favor.

This tweet is perfect since it easily spells out why this is actually illegal vs. the "soft corruption" of the NRA's usual lobbying.

FWIW, the NRA doesn't actually do much direct contribution to campaigns. They tend to exercise their influence over politicians indirectly, through PAC spending, lobbying, and general propaganda efforts. Which this would've been, if LaPierre hadn't been so keen to spell out the deal.

I dunno, though, maybe with Trump you really do have to spell out the crimes in all caps before he understands that there's an exchange being suggested and you're not just giving him things.
