People spend money on this abomination
It's funny to watch his facade occasionally fall and the curtain to be peeled back, and yet the show just keeps going.
Unlike other politicians, the trail of grifts with him is so insanely long at this point, and yet people still keep him going.
The same Secret Service that conveniently yet 'accidentally' deleted all of their texts from January 5-7 after they were subpoenaed and told to preserve those texts? The same Secret Service where Mike Pence said (like a Criminal Minds victim), "I'm not getting in the car, Tim. I trust you, Tim, but you're not driving the car. If I get in that vehicle, you guys are taking off. I'm not getting in the car."
I wouldn't particularly hold your breath about Trump's Secret Service detail being particularly loyal to the United States.
Do certain medications which are are strong as some and worse than many illegal disqualify someone from owning a firearm? Wasn't there pretty wide claims about Trump popping pills which would disqualify him from owning a firearm anyway?

In this case the crime would be purchasing a handgun in a state in which you are not a resident.
Handguns can only be purchased in your home state. It’s why California’s handgun roster is such a big deal. They simply refuse to allow new models of handguns to be sold there regardless of whether or not their features are illegal, and buying them out of state is prohibited.
With long guns, the gun’s features must be legal in both the state where the sale is taking place and the state in which the buyer lives. With pistols it’s simply illegal to transfer the firearm to someone from out of state.
If I was from Arizona and wanted to give a single-shot 22 plinking pistol to my Dad in Texas, I’d have to sell it to a local firearms dealer, have them transfer it to a Texas dealer, and have my Dad buy it there.
Ya, I live in a more restricted state and have purchased a handgun from out of state. It goes to a firearm dealer and they transfer it to you after doing whatever background checks your state requires. The gun isn’t sold to the dealer, they just hold it while everything clears. I don’t know anything about interstate private sales though.
One fun fact though is that you can buy an M1 Garand from the government and they’ll ship it to your door. So that’s pretty neat.
For an M1 Garand, the requirements are a little different than just getting a background check.
For those who care: thecmp.org/cmp_sales/eligibility-requirements/
It’s a question on a federal background check. For people who live in states where scheduled drugs are legal for recreation, it’s a grey area. The state wouldn’t care, but the feds do.
It’s basically boils down to “gotcha” requirements. If you get investigated for federal crimes and also own firearms but live in a state where some scheduled drugs are legal that you use, the fed can still just flag any future checks and charge you with lying on any previous background check.
I am not a fan of that kind of legal fuckery, especially if a person happens to be charged with a crime they didn’t commit in the first place but still get investigated.
Hunter is most likely going to walk for good reason. What he was charged with are unconditional laws. If he walks, so will Trump. And that’s assuming you can pin Trump with unlawful use first.
DOJ knows they are getting crushed with Hunter. Even 2A orgs offered legal help to him. They know the laws can’t be upheld by an honest judge. So why hit Trump with the same charges that they’re losing their shit over with Hunter?
"Miriam Adelson hopes there will be a biblical ‘Book of Trump’
Republican mega-donor compares US president to ‘prophets of antiquity’ in column asking why he doesn’t get more support from American Jews"

I thought he only hired the “best and brightest”.
“they’re not sending their best”
“And some, I assume, are good people”
I thought he only hired the “best and brightest”.
He hires only the best and brightest he can get. It's a much smaller pool.
“ I've been wondering how anyone could have witnessed that and still voted for him, but it never clicked for me that he might be on something.”
That’s cause you’re a SINNER, not a GOOD CHRISTIAN!
While Trump remains the frontrunner in the GOP race for the White House, he has also been indicted in four criminal cases this year, and therefore cannot purchase a gun under the law.
