Notes from the Resistance
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?

I wonder how many of these people will bother to inform everyone they’ve misled.
Still… the original assumption had a point…

George Stephanopoulos recently appeared on CNN with host Abby Phillip and advised the network on going after Donald Trump in the first debate. This is the political director of ABC News advising another media outlet on how to take down a candidate. That is not the role of people in media. [More]

If we do somehow manage to help him gain a second term in the White House, we’re going to need to be able to influence what he says and does on guns. And we won’t be prepared to do that if we gloss over the seriousness of his failures. [More]
We need his ear so we can try to influence him before he starts to stray.

SAF DECLARES ‘WE WILL DEFEND DONALD TRUMP’S GUN RIGHTS!’ [More]
Between this and Hunter Biden, we may see some walls come tumbling down.
We talked about Trump being a “prohibited person” here and here, and I’ve got a Firearms News piece scheduled to come out today that launches from that point, but I gotta confess, there’s a part of me that feels like rubbing “take the guns first, due process later” in his face.
