It's another busy Friday wrapping up another crazy week, and another lost opportunity for the GOP to sell its tax cut to voters. Boo hoo! Here are some of the distracting news stories that are capturing our attention.
Yesterday's additional indictments against Trumpsters Paul Manafort and Rick Gates had us doubting whether Robert Mueller had gotten Gates to flip. But now we can lay those doubts to rest. We just want to take this opportunity, however, to point out that no Democrat we know has ever pleaded guilty to — GASP! — conspiracy against the United States. We don't know about you, but to us that kinda sounds like treason.
Missouri Republican Governor and all-around jackass Eric Greitens was arrested and charged with kidnapping and blackmail. And boy, is he acting pissy about it! Statements shot with umbrage have flown thick and fast, blaming the supposedly super-liberal St. Louis Circuit Attorney Kim Gardner for persecuting him. So... who's going to break the news to Greitens and the Missouri GOP that he was indicted by a Grand Jury?
We have to admit we're a little surprised at how quickly big companies have cut ties with the National Rifle Association. The first one we saw was the First National Bank of Omaha, which discontinued its NRA VISA card. Now the latest is Chubb, the insurance giant. The business they get from their NRA-branded policy obviously isn't enough to risk the wrath of gun control states (like ours). Next up: Let's get rid of NRA specialty license plates. That would make us cats PURR.
