I refer to Trump's followers as exactly that. Its not even a political movement anymore but more like a cult. They worship Trump and will do anything in their power to protect and serve him. They worship at the altar of Trump, give to the religion of Trump and when they die, they pray to go to Trump heaven aka: Mar-a-Lago and spend eternity with the Virgin Melania.

Have to give Trump a little credit for standing up to the NRA on the age limit. It won't solve all the problems but it's a good step and better than nothing.
hes not though he said he would push that issue with the nra last week. they had a meeting and he hasnt said a word about it since
Holey moley... https://newrepublic.com/article/147206/robert-mueller-doesnt-need-smoking-gun "When Manafort joined the Trump campaign as manager of convention activities in March of 2016 (he was named full campaign chairman in May), Trump either was impressed with a man apparently wealthy enough to offer to work for no pay (though as it happened Manafort was at the time deeply in debt to a Russian oligarch) or, just possibly, had been encouraged, directly or indirectly, by Russians or their American contacts to take him aboard... At the time Manafort joined the Trump campaign I perhaps naively thought that it was because of his relationship with Stone. But it’s the volunteer aspect of it that I can’t get past now. Of course numerous people help out presidential campaigns in the hope of having useful access to the next administration, but Trump wasn’t looking like a future president at the time that Manafort signed up. So, what made Manafort think that Trump had a chance to win the nomination, much less the presidency? Did he perhaps have information that the public didn’t know about? ...Then there’s something else: Trump’s own income, then and now. It has been reported that the FBI is investigating whether Russia funneled money to the Trump campaign through the NRA. And as CNBC recounted in mid-February, not only is it widely known that large amounts of Russian money has gone into Trump properties, but, even more interesting, “Recent reports have shown that money continues to move into Trump-branded properties from obscured sources like anonymous LLCs and shell companies.” CNBC’s report went on to say, “One such report found that since Trump secured the Republican nomination in 2016, the fraction of anonymous purchases of his properties through shell companies has ‘skyrocketed’ from 4 to 70 percent.” CNBC pointed out: “The public can only guess at the source of these funds, whether they be foreign governments or wealthy domestic interests—and to what extent unknown sums pouring into other Trump businesses are being used to curry favor with the president.” Is it any wonder that Trump has refused to release his income taxes?"

Oh By the Way the Shady Intermediary Who Told a Trump Adviser the Russians Had Hillary Emails Has Disappeared "[Mifsud’s] biography disappeared from one university where he taught and he quit his job at another university. His email and cell phones went dead. And politicians, colleagues and journalists can’t find him. Neither can Anna, his 31-year-old Ukrainian fiancee, who says he is the father of her newborn child. Anna … says she was seven months pregnant and engaged to Mifsud when he became the focus of world media attention as the professor who told Papadopoulos that Russia had “dirt” on Clinton. Shortly thereafter, he dropped from sight. He also cut off all contact with Anna, including phone calls and WhatsApp messages. That silence has held, even six weeks after the daughter Anna says he fathered was born." Ron
And now, "A teacher with a GUN!" returns: http://www.foxnews.com/us/2018/02/2...after-reports-shots-fired-at-high-school.html
I find it bs the thought that trump demands "loyalty." He doesn't, he demands you let him do/ say whatever he wants while you take the shots. That's not called loyalty, that's called being a doormat.
Some accounts saying he is a left winger trying to provile a point by taking the gun to school and firing it. A little false flag flying going on with this one. In related news, dicks taking it upon themselves to not sell to any one under 21 and not sell scary looking guns. Doesn’t effect me much as I wouldn’t buy a gun from dicks and I am more and old school walnut butt and stock kinda guy but I do appreciate free market trying to govern rather than everyone looking to the politicians like they are mommy and daddy
He came out pretty strong today about it. Called out the Republicans for being afraid of the NRA, which is true. He wants to raise the age limit, ban bump stocks, and take guns away from the mentally ill. Sounds too good to be true that he's doing this but it sounds like a plan. Unfortunately he still wants to arm teachers though, that's a bad idea imho. The NRA has Republicans by the balls. If you don't support a wild wild west with guns for everybody, you are a communist or fascist scum. The GOP takes the NRA money, and then becomes its loyal servant. Its a shame, but the good news is all these kids walking out from schools will be registered voters in a matter of years, and then hopefully they can vote out all the NRA backed politicians out of office.
