“The first mistake everyone made was making this a joint hearing between the House Judiciary Committee and the House Government and Oversight Committee. Not only did this divide the overall chair of the panel between Bob Goodlatte of Virginia and Trey Gowdy, the lopheaded Javert of Benghazi, Benghazi!, Benghazi!, but also it brought together an exaltation of wingnut crazy unmatched in the Congress since the last time Michele Bachmann dined alone with the voices in her head.”

Of course during the press interview Trump refused to take a question from CNN reporter knowing what was coming. He knew in his soul he was gonna be asked about the already 12 indicted Russians who hacked the DNC and ties to his campaign. So Trump threw a fascist fit as usual , claiming CNN isn't real news like Fox and refused the question. Knowing he's a coward.

[QUOTE]The American Civil Liberties Union is launching a new electoral program to mobilize its 1.8 million members to vote as a bloc — a sign of how the group, flush with cash from the election of Donald Trump, is increasingly turning itself into a political engine of the resistance.
The organization, which once confined itself to litigation, has envisioned “ACLU Voter,” an initiative to register and turn out voters and encourage them to choose candidates based on a scorecard of civil liberties. The goal isn’t just to get like-minded people to the polls — it’s to encourage elected officials to vote based on the ACLU’s rating.
If the new ACLU reminds you of the National Rifle Association, that’s not an accident.
“We talk about the NRA often here,” said Faiz Shakir, the group’s national political director. “Not because we agree with them, but because they have effectively created an organizational model around the single issue they care deeply about. They make their members and volunteers feel like they have a duty to vote.”
On the ACLU Voter website, entering an address pulls up a scorecard for senators and representatives, ranking them based on what percent of the time they voted along with the ACLU’s guidelines. In its 2018 scorecard, Democrats almost universally get much higher ratings than Republicans, with the occasional exception of a libertarian like Sen. Rand Paul or Rep. Justin Amash.
“We want [elected officials] to be competing for a higher score on civil rights and civil liberties,” said Shakir. “Next time when we say there’s a vote recommendation, it’s not because we’re offering a friendly piece of advice. It’s an implied threat.”
Officially, the ACLU is nonpartisan, and an “ACLU Voter,” as the group envisions the term, chooses candidates not based on party but on issues like criminal justice, net neutrality, and voting and reproductive rights.
But of course, there’s another factor: Donald Trump.[/QUOTE]
If it works for the NRA, maybe it will work for the ACLU

‘Good guys with guns’ Two Oklahoma citizens killed an active shooter, and it's not as simple as it sounds[/URL]
[QUOTE]In a matter of seconds, the two armed citizens became self-appointed protectors, moving to take up positions around the shooter, drawing their weapons and shouting for him to drop his. Time stretched and warped. There was an exchange of gunfire. The gunman was hit several times and fell. As Nazario and Whittle converged over the man to restrain him, police arrived. Unsure who was who, officers handcuffed all of the men and put them on the ground as the shooter bled out into the grass and died.
“I was just doing what I was supposed to do,” recalled Nazario, a former police officer who said he now works as a security guard, always has his gun in the car and usually carries it with him.
“I just reacted,” said Whittle, who has served for nearly 20 years in the Oklahoma Air National Guard and works for the Federal Aviation Administration. “There’s a guy with a gun. I’ve got a gun. Stop the threat.”[/QUOTE]
[QUOTE]In a nation grappling with frequent mass shootings, Second Amendment activists have urged that more people carry guns so that they are prepared, like Nazario and Whittle, to respond to an armed threat. The morning after the May 24 Oklahoma City shooting, the National Rifle Association tweeted that it was “just another example of how the best way to stop a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun.”
Local police also praised Nazario and Whittle, saying their swift response ended what a police spokesman called “a very dangerous situation.”
But police also noted that armed citizens can complicate volatile situations. The first of 57 uniformed police officers arrived just a minute after the initial 911 calls and found a complex scene with multiple armed people and no clear sense of what had happened or who was responsible.
“We don’t want people to be vigilantes,” Bo Mathews, a spokesman for the Oklahoma City Police Department, said in a recent interview. “That’s why we have police officers.”
Both men did what they believed was right, but that meant they had killed a man they did not know. Whittle wondered whether he was going to jail. Nazario went over ways that the confrontation could have ended differently — perhaps with his own death. They both marveled that amid the chaos, the result was as intended: The attacker was stopped before he could hurt anyone else.[/QUOTE]

Of course it will. Remember Jeff Foxworthy's definition of a redneck: A glorious lack of sophistication. That goes double for Trump supporters.

That might be more believable if on this very thread one liberal poster said he wanted nothing but facts and someone else piped up about the detention centers being "kidnapping."

The first thing that stands out to me about these two specific 'good guys with guns' is that they had formal firearms training. One of whom whose training likely dealt with the very situation they found themselves in. They weren't random people who just have the things because they think they are cool.

Bingo! I’m sure Trump’s lemmings cheered when that happened, saying, “Yeah! Talk about putting that old bat in her place! Go Trump! MAGA!”
