The NRA's ongoing meltdown, explained motherjones.com/politics/2019/…
Amid the ongoing meltdown, it's interesting that the NRA's extensive ties with convicted and sanctioned Russian agents are getting so little attention. It's also a story about the NRA money trail, with potentially big consequences motherjones.com/politics/2018/…
On Friday, the New York attorney general "sent letters instructing the NRA and affiliated entities, including its charitable foundation, to preserve relevant financial records. Some of the NRA's related businesses also received subpoenas" nytimes.com/2019/04/27/us/…

Consider the cumulative effect going back 4 years.

Person at a Trump campaign rally: "We have a problem in this country, it's called Muslims...when can we get rid of them?"

Trump: "A lot of people are saying that...we're going to be looking at that."
Think Trump's enduring stance on white supremacist terror hasn't had a serious impact on America and the world? Think again. This investigation is already outdated since we published it last July—the mass shooting at the Pittsburgh synagogue, among others. motherjones.com/crime-justice/…
Long ago @MotherJones reported extensively on the brewing dangers of Trump tacitly but consistently embracing the hateful far right. It's painful to know that America elected him anyway, and to know the subsequent carnage. motherjones.com/politics/2016/…

At this point many have warned that Trump is going to get more people injured or murdered with this rhetoric but he just won’t stop. I’m going to tweet this investigation every time he does it motherjones.com/politics/2018/…
Trump’s latest attack uses a fresh version of his hyperbolic incitement: “the most vicious and corrupt Mainstream Media that any president has ever had to endure”
Again tonight Trump continues attacking the constitutionally protected free press over factual reporting he doesn’t like—and he continues to demonize journalists as ‘the enemy.’

His dangerous incitement is only leading to one very dark place.

“It’s extremely demoralizing for everyone here."

“People are generally confused...very bizarre.”

In order to get hired by Sessions, Isgur "paid her respects in the Oval Office—a cordial visit during which she told Trump she was on board with his agenda and would be honored to serve him, according to several people with knowledge of the meeting." washingtonpost.com/politics/ready…

The NRA Embraced Russia’s Maria Butina—Even As She Worked to Arm Anti-American Thugs Who Seized Crimea From Ukraine - ⁦@MotherJones⁩ motherjones.com/politics/2019/…
‼️As NRA welcomed #Butina, she was aiding Putin's military takeover Crimea. Right after March 2014 invasion & annexation, Butina denounced sanctions & went to Crimea to promote arming militants who seized Crimean "pro-American" news outlet—repurposing it for Kremlin propaganda.
The day Obama announced sanctions (March 17, 2014) after Putin's military used an illegal referendum to declare Crimea part of Russia—#Butina warned that US sanctions would “bankrupt the Russian arms industry." She then mobilized to support & arm separatist "Crimean Front" thugs.

How Obama tried to interfere in the 2016 Presidential election by trying to manipulate @realDonaldTrump during the campaign. This is some devious shit right here. Hang on, these quotes are from todays #motherJones and @DavidCornDC article from today.
motherjones.com/politics/2019/…
1. During the last 5 months of the 2016 Presidential campaign Trump joked about the Clinton emails that where missing. He also was using that as a devestating talking point to show Clinton cant be trusted. It was killing HRC election chances. So how would HRC/Obama counter that
2. Obama had hackers (crowdstrike) leak the DNC emails. Then Obamas IC gave 45 a private briefing in mid-August 2016 in which Trump was told that Putin’s regime was behind the Russian attack. Obama wanted Trump to echo that Russia was behind it during his campaign speeches.

@realDonaldTrump @POTUS
In the wake of the Parkland, Fla., shooting some are pushing for gun control, even gun confiscation, while others are virtue signaling & offering no real solutions for actually dealing with school

safety. They want to raise the age to 21 to purchase a rifle when in fact the average age of a mass shooter in America is 35 years old.
