Notes from the Resistance

“And now I want to hand it over to the president of Ukraine, who has as much courage as he has determination. Ladies and gentlemen, President Putin” [More]
Doesn’t matter.
American women will burn the house down to keep the Dotard-in-Chief OR get them their first woman president and abortion.
Turn your nose up at polls if you like– this is no time for false confidence, especially as the RNC douses fire from bellies and makes the TINVOWOOTers case for them.

Trump says he has ‘nothing to do’ with Project 2025 despite ties to MAGA allies [More]
You can appeal to independents without forsaking your principles– assuming you have any.
Just like 2020, its his to blow.
Yeah, right, apologists, I’m just not smart enough to recognize 3D chess moves.

New York Times columnist John McWhorter has shown us this again recently by wishing someone would assassinate Donald Trump. [More]
And remember: Trump is just an avatar for the voters who support the promises he so imperfectly delivers on. If Trump is “a hideous pig of a man,” what must a rabid MAGAite be? And we know what such dehumanization allows.
This genocidal provincial bigot would prefer we all were eliminated. By somebody else, of course.
Considering the source’s “text, history, and tradition,” who’s surprised?
And why do Bill Clinton’s Rules of Engagement come to mind?

Influencers need to be able to prepare Trump to debate on the right to arms and to coach him on what the correct responses to questions should be. [More]
No matter who the Democrat candidate turns out to be, Trump needs to learn to talk 2A, and it’s up to “Gun Owners for Trump” to demand his ear.
(Note: This doesn’t mean I’m back.)
‘We will co-fund a poll together, the two of us in October, and whomever is least likely to beat Donald Trump will withdraw,’ … [More]
Or the Democrats could just decide there are more traditional ways for power players to deal with problematic Kennedys….
That he’s throwing this Hail Mary just shows whose chances he’ll hurt most. What I can’t believe is there are still some idiot gun owners falling for his equivocations.

How Trump Can Lose the Debate—By Appealing To Minorities, Instead Of His Base [More]
“Debate,” hell. Lose the election.
Once again he listens to the wrong people.

Trump floats UFC-style migrant league amid border crisis… “But actually, it’s not the worst idea I’ve ever had”… [More]
Just what the country needs. More division.
More distracting bread and circuses, more gladiators…
A citizenry with redirected, trivial, and misinformed priorities is incapable of fulfilling its end of the deal in “form[ing] a more perfect Union.”

Will the courts recognize his “standing”?
And sorry to be jaded, but does this stand a snowball’s chance, or is he just attaching his name to a big story for political name recognition?

Trump says he wants foreign nationals who graduate from US colleges to ‘automatically’ receive green cards [More]
Here we go pandering to the cheap labor Republicans like the Grover Norquist/Michael Bloomberg partnership.
And, of course, once here, they’ll stay, apply for citizenship, marry citizens, have birthright babies and all vote pro-gun Republican, right?
And don’t forget the cheap foreign farm labor!
Tell me again how his banning bump stocks was brilliant 3D chess.
And about judges…
Once more the election is his to blow, and it looks like he’s doing a bang-up job of it. Or maybe I’m just not smart enough to recognize this latest gambit that will all be revealed in time…
I don’t frequent forums but my attention has been called to this post on AR15.com.
It brings to mind a recent Firearms News piece where I worry that unless advocates have his ear to impress on him the seriousness of our concerns, he’s going to keep saying and doing stupid and destructive $h!+ that betrays his base and takes all the wind out of their sails.
So I’d rather have Biden?
Is that even the right question to be asking at this point?
Who Is Really To Blame For The ATF Bump Stock Ban Rule? [More]
Donald Trump and the NRA.
There’s a totally fabricated after the fact face-save ploy that it was really brilliant 3D chess designed to save us meme that’s suddenly circulating is utterly without corroborating evidence.
You don’t gamble with someone else’s stakes.
Get back to me when you have memos and emails from the decision makers proving me wrong and I’ll apologize.

Very important to understand that strategic decision by Donald Trump and the NRA to basically sign off if you will on doing a bump stock ban through executive order, I didn’t like it, I was not happy about it, but I understood the strategy sometimes one has to lose battles to win the war, that is how the real world works… [Watch]
Really? A plan comes together? That’s what you’re going with?
So, I guess, “Take the guns first, due process later” was another genius move they just couldn’t tell us about?
And envisioning Inspector Clouseau pretending his screwup was intentional to save face is just me not being smart enough to understand what the grownups are doing?

He most strikingly softened his language about immigration… Mr. Trump said he thought it was “wrong” that people who made sacrifices to come to America and attend top U.S. schools should have to go home to their countries, one of the people said. Another person who was in the room recalled that Mr. Trump made the point that the high-skilled immigrants who received an American education could either be successful in the U.S. or in their home countries. He said that the best and the brightest were needed to help America, this person said. [More]
Maybe he can answer the challenge.
So what else is he going to go soft on?
