thepoliticalinsider--2020-04-24--California Ammunition Background Checks Thrown Out By Judge

Californian legislation that required citizens to pass a background check every time they purchased ammunition was thrown out by a federal judge .
US District Judge Roger Benitez ruled in favor of the California Rifle & Pistol Association , who challenged the legislation which came into effect in July of last year .
“ The experiment has been tried .
The casualties have been counted .
California ’ s new ammunition background check law misfires and the Second Amendment rights of California citizens have been gravely injured , ” Benitez argued in a 120-page opinion , slamming the background check @ @ @ @ @ @ @ convoluted , ” but also “ constitutionally defective.
” Benitez rightfully pointed out that “ criminals , tyrants , and terrorists don ’ t do background checks , ” and that “ the background check experiment defies common sense while unduly and severely burdening the Second Amendment rights of every responsible , gun-owning citizen desiring to lawfully buy ammunition.
” Intended to keep ammunition away from criminals , it was found that 16 % of the time , it failed , stopping law-abiding citizens from making a purchase .
He further ruled that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ outside of California violated multiple federal laws relating to interstate commerce .
Chuck Michel , the general counsel for the California Rifle & Pistol Association , said that “ the law ’ s red tape and state database errors made it impossible for hundreds of thousands of law-abiding Californians to purchase ammunition for sport or self-defense .
The court found that the flimsy reasons offered by the government to justify these constitutional infringements were inadequate.
” Michel said he assumed that the state of California would be likely to appeal the ruling .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ sleep a little easier tonight knowing their Constitutional rights were restored and strengthened by this decision.
” This is another fantastic win for the Second Amendment .
If more judges and legislators in California were like Mr Benitez , then the state probably wouldn ’ t be in such a mess !

Californian legislation that required citizens to pass a background check every time they purchased ammunition was thrown out by a federal judge.
“California’s New Ammunition Background Check Law Misfires”
US District Judge Roger Benitez ruled in favor of the California Rifle & Pistol Association, who challenged the legislation which came into effect in July of last year.
“The experiment has been tried. The casualties have been counted. California’s new ammunition background check law misfires and the Second Amendment rights of California citizens have been gravely injured,” Benitez argued in a 120-page opinion, slamming the background check law as not only “onerous and convoluted,” but also “constitutionally defective.”
Benitez rightfully pointed out that “criminals, tyrants, and terrorists don’t do background checks,” and that “the background check experiment defies common sense while unduly and severely burdening the Second Amendment rights of every responsible, gun-owning citizen desiring to lawfully buy ammunition.”
Intended to keep ammunition away from criminals, it was found that 16% of the time, it failed, stopping law-abiding citizens from making a purchase. He further ruled that the ban on ammunition being imported from outside of California violated multiple federal laws relating to interstate commerce.
“Californians Can Sleep A Little Easier”
Chuck Michel, the general counsel for the California Rifle & Pistol Association, said that “the law’s red tape and state database errors made it impossible for hundreds of thousands of law-abiding Californians to purchase ammunition for sport or self-defense. The court found that the flimsy reasons offered by the government to justify these constitutional infringements were inadequate.”
Michel said he assumed that the state of California would be likely to appeal the ruling. But until then, “Californians can sleep a little easier tonight knowing their Constitutional rights were restored and strengthened by this decision.”
This is another fantastic win for the Second Amendment. If more judges and legislators in California were like Mr Benitez, then the state probably wouldn’t be in such a mess!


thepoliticalinsider--2020-04-24--Hillary Clinton Claims Trump Thinks It’s A ‘Good Idea’ To ‘Poison Yourself’

Failed presidential candidate Hillary Clinton claimed on Twitter that President Donald Trump thinks it ’ s a good idea to “ poison yourself.
” President Trump is currently coming under fire from leftists for remarks he had made regarding potential treatments for the coronavirus , as he is being accused of encouraging people to “ inject ” themselves with disinfectant to cure themselves of the disease .
Writing on Twitter , Clinton urged anyone who watched the President ’ s remarks not to “ poison yourself because Donald Trump thinks it could be a good idea.
” Reckitt Benckiser , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , issued a statement due to the “ recent speculation , ” i.e .
the President ’ s comments .
“ As a global leader in health and hygiene products , we must be clear that under no circumstance [ emphasis their own ] should our disinfectant products be administered into the human body ( through injection , ingestion or any other route ) , ” the statement reads .
“ As with all products , our disinfectant and hygiene products should only be used as intended and in line with usage guidelines.
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ Cure The Coronavirus Are Liberals !
As usual , all of this is a result of completely hyperbolic fake news , and leftists twisting the words of President Trump and taking them completely out of context .
Writing in Breitbart , Joel Pollak debunked this interpretation of the President ’ s words , noting that while he may not have been the clearest at certain points , he certainly did not encourage anybody to literally inject themselves with bleach : In Thursday ’ s White House coronavirus task force briefing , Dr. Bill @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Technology Directorate at the Department of Homeland Security , described the results of new government research that showed that the coronavirus did not survive long in solar light , warmer temperatures , and more humid conditions .
He added that disinfectants had also been effective against it .
Trump , responding to that , noted that there had been discussions of testing ultraviolet light on patients , or of methods to bring light inside the body .
“ And then I see the disinfectant , where it knocks it [ the virus ] @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
And is there a way we can do something like that , by injection inside , or almost a cleaning , cause you see it gets in the lungs.
” Trump was far from a model of clarity , but he did not actually propose injecting patients with disinfectant ; he deferred to “ medical doctors ” to figure out how to apply Dr. Bryant ’ s research .
The President also later clarified that he was merely being sarcastic .
“ I was asking a sarcastic and a very sarcastic question @ @ @ @ @ @ @ disinfectant on the inside , ” he said on Friday .
“ That was done in the form of a sarcastic question to the reporters.
” What ’ s even more ironic is that the only people who are attempting to use bleach on themselves right now are the liberals and media classes themselves !
In a blog post laden with buzzwords and pseudo-science , Christina Cuomo , the wife of CNN anchor Chris Cuomo , admitted that at the direction of her “ doctor , ” “ I [ took ] a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ amount of bleach , and I mean a 1/4 cup of bleach which in an 80 gallon water tub is a ratio of 1:5000 .
Why ?
To combat the radiation and metals in my system and oxygenate it.
” Perhaps Clinton and the rest of the social media crowd should start directing their comments at the loony left instead !

This is another crippling loss for House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and the Democrats both in the legislative sense and in political perception.
The measure spends $310 billion to shore up the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP), which aids firms with fewer than 500 employees with loans that cover eight weeks of their payroll, benefits and other costs. $30 billion of that is reserved for community-based lenders, small banks, and credit unions.
The bill also spends another $50 billion for the Small Business Administration’s (SBA) emergency disaster lending and $10 billion in SBA disaster grants.
Democrats lost their short-sighted campaign to spend more cash on state and local governments that are trying to use virus funds to cover the costs of non-virus related budget shortfalls. The legislation also secured $75 billion for health care firms to support coronavirus expenses and lost revenue due to the canceling of elective surgery procedures. The package also includes $25 billion to develop more mass testing, with $11 billion of that spent for testing in states and localities.
The Democrats delayed and fought the package until they ran out of political options and could feel public pressure building against them. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi led Democrat Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer of New York around by the nose and decreed he oppose the measure, though sources say in private he was willing to honestly negotiate from the beginning of the process.

Rand Paul Returns To Congress After Defeating COVID-19 – Blasts ‘Draconian Lockdown’ In Passionate Speech

Senator Rand Paul ( R-KY ) made his return to Congress this week after defeating coronavirus , and he immediately blasted his fellow congressional members for their efforts to give Americans relief by putting our country in debt instead of opening the economy .
“ If you print up billions of dollars and give it to people , they are unlikely to spend it until you end the quarantine , ” Paul said as he spoke on the Senate floor .
He went on to cite some studies that concluded that experts may have overblown the mortality rate from COVID-19 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , and we shouldn ’ t ignore the risks , but we should put those risks in perspective !
” he said , according to The Blaze .
Paul added that these studies show that the U.S. can manage coronavirus without continuing the “ draconian ” lockdown policies .
“ So today I arise in opposition to spending $ 500 billion more .
The virus bailouts have already cost over two trillion dollars .
Our annual deficit this year will approach four trillion dollars !
” the conservative senator said .
“ We @ @ @ @ @ @ @ !
” “ No amount of bailout dollars will stimulate an economy that is being strangled by quarantine !
” he exclaimed .
“ It is not a lack of money that plagues us , but a lack of commerce !
” Paul praised the efforts Americans have made to combat the coronavirus pandemic before discussing the debt amassed by the relief bills .
“ With the recent $ 2 trillion bailout we are borrowing faster than we have ever borrowed before !
” he said .
“ Had we practiced sound budgeting @ @ @ @ @ @ @ been better , significantly better positioned to weather this storm.
” He then pointed out that the latest statistics show that over 20 million Americans are unemployed .
“ Make no mistake .
The massive economic calamity we ’ re experiencing right now is caused by government .
Passing out $ 1,200 checks indiscriminately , to people who haven ’ t lost their job , will do nothing to rescue the country !
” he explained .
“ Our recovery only comes when the quarantine is ended.
” Paul stressed how important it @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in on how we should fight COVID-19 without harming the economy any further .
“ We need to get past a one-size-fits-all approach to infectious disease !
” he said .
He ended his speech by slamming the fact that the massive relief bill was passed without a recorded vote .
“ I don ’ t want to see this massive accumulation of debt destroy this great country , ” Paul concluded .
“ So my advice to the Senate and to the American people is , let ’ s be aware of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ all this new debt and let ’ s think before we jump to a terrible , terrible conclusion.
” Paul hits the nail on the head here : we as a nation can not afford for the solution to be worse than the problem .
Yes , we should be worried about the coronavirus , but we also need to worry about doing damage to the economy .
There will be a future after the coronavirus pandemic , and it is not going to be a bright one if we continue to ignore @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the midst of this crisis .

“So today I arise in opposition to spending $500 billion more. The virus bailouts have already cost over two trillion dollars. Our annual deficit this year will approach four trillion dollars!” the conservative senator said. “We can’t continue on this course!”

He ended his speech by slamming the fact that the massive relief bill was passed without a recorded vote. “I don’t want to see this massive accumulation of debt destroy this great country,” Paul concluded. “So my advice to the Senate and to the American people is, let’s be aware of what we’re doing by creating all this new debt and let’s think before we jump to a terrible, terrible conclusion.”

Yes, we should be worried about the coronavirus, but we also need to worry about doing damage to the economy.

Presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden outrageously predicted that President Donald Trump will postpone the November presidential election in the hopes of securing a win for himself .
“ Mark my words , I think he is gon na try to kick back the election somehow , come up with some rationale why it can ’ t be held , ” Biden said during an online fundraiser yesterday , according to Yahoo News .
The 77-year-old former vice president added that it is “ the only way he thinks he can possibly win.
” Of course , Biden offered no @ @ @ @ @ @ @ since President Trump has in reality given no indication that he plans to postpone the election .
Trump is far too focused on saving our country from the coronavirus pandemic to even give serious thought to the election right now , so it ’ s ridiculous that Biden is already proclaiming that the election will be postponed .
Biden went on to claim that there will be interference in the presidential election by Russia and two unnamed “ major actors , ” according to The Guardian .
“ I promise you the Russians @ @ @ @ @ @ @ election and I guarantee you they are doing it again with two other major actors , ” Biden said .
“ You can be assured between [ Trump ] and the Russians there is going to be an attempt to interfere.
” At this point , Biden is just throwing out any conspiracy that he can , hoping that something will stick .
Deep down , he knows that he is a subpar candidate who can ’ t really compete against Trump one-on-one , so the only chance he has of beating him @ @ @ @ @ @ @ into his bizarre conspiracies .
It ’ s really quite pathetic !
As for President Trump , he ’ s on to what Biden is doing , and he ’ s already firing back .
During Thursday ’ s press briefing , Trump took the time to slam Biden and send a brutal message to him .
“ We have a sleepy guy in a basement of a house that the press is giving a free pass to , who doesn ’ t want to do debates because of COVID , ” Trump @ @ @ @ @ @ @ he wants , but the president is not afraid of him .
It will be so much fun to watch him beat Biden in November !

Presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden outrageously predicted that President Donald Trump will postpone the November presidential election in the hopes of securing a win for himself.
“Mark my words, I think he is gonna try to kick back the election somehow, come up with some rationale why it can’t be held,” Biden said during an online fundraiser yesterday, according to Yahoo News. The 77-year-old former vice president added that it is “the only way he thinks he can possibly win.”
Of course, Biden offered no evidence to back up this prediction, since President Trump has in reality given no indication that he plans to postpone the election. Trump is far too focused on saving our country from the coronavirus pandemic to even give serious thought to the election right now, so it’s ridiculous that Biden is already proclaiming that the election will be postponed.
Biden went on to claim that there will be interference in the presidential election by Russia and two unnamed “major actors,” according to The Guardian.
“I promise you the Russians did interfere in our [2016] election and I guarantee you they are doing it again with two other major actors,” Biden said. “You can be assured between [Trump] and the Russians there is going to be an attempt to interfere.”
At this point, Biden is just throwing out any conspiracy that he can, hoping that something will stick. Deep down, he knows that he is a subpar candidate who can’t really compete against Trump one-on-one, so the only chance he has of beating him is to convince enough people to buy into his bizarre conspiracies. It’s really quite pathetic!
As for President Trump, he’s on to what Biden is doing, and he’s already firing back. During Thursday’s press briefing, Trump took the time to slam Biden and send a brutal message to him. “We have a sleepy guy in a basement of a house that the press is giving a free pass to, who doesn’t want to do debates because of COVID,” Trump said.
Biden can bash Trump all he wants, but the president is not afraid of him. It will be so much fun to watch him beat Biden in November!

Trump Walks Out On Fake News Reporters

As opposed to other days when the president has been content to answer questions for an extended period , a clearly ticked off and exasperated President Trump took the press to task and abruptly left the daily White House virus briefing on Thursday .
His ire was motivated by reporters piling on to ask passive aggressive biased questions .
The briefing started out calmly , as the president made an opening statement and then turned the podium over to Veep Mike Pence to continue the presser .
Pence briefed that Ohio has tripled testing virtually overnight and that states such @ @ @ @ @ @ @ their testing capacity .
He said that 4,500 U.S. military personnel were deployed across the nation at 19 hospitals in 7 states .
Pence urged governors to consider the resumption of elective surgeries and noted that Arizona will do so on May 1st .
The Vice-President further mentioned that 16 states released formal reopening plans , many going so far as to specify the plans county by county .
At that point a DHS official was called to the lectern and said that according to a study executed by DHS the half life @ @ @ @ @ @ @ exposed to direct sunlight , humidity , alcohol , or bleach .
Three of the four would suggest people could remain healthy by isolating at tiki bars .

As opposed to other days when the president has been content to answer questions for an extended period, a clearly ticked off and exasperated President Trump took the press to task and abruptly left the daily White House virus briefing on Thursday. His ire was motivated by reporters piling on to ask passive aggressive biased questions.
The briefing started out calmly, as the president made an opening statement and then turned the podium over to Veep Mike Pence to continue the presser.
Pence briefed that Ohio has tripled testing virtually overnight and that states such as Indiana and Kentucky have also increased their testing capacity. He said that 4,500 U.S. military personnel were deployed across the nation at 19 hospitals in 7 states. Pence urged governors to consider the resumption of elective surgeries and noted that Arizona will do so on May 1st. The Vice-President further mentioned that 16 states released formal reopening plans, many going so far as to specify the plans county by county.
At that point a DHS official was called to the lectern and said that according to a study executed by DHS the half life of the coronavirus is significantly decreased when exposed to direct sunlight, humidity, alcohol, or bleach. Three of the four would suggest people could remain healthy by isolating at tiki bars.
The president then retook the podium and praised the House for passing the $484 billion funding package for small business and virus relief. He will likely sign the bill on Friday. He made a point of saying he was not happy with the Georgia governor, “I wasn’t happy with Brian Kemp,” and Kemp’s decision to reopen barber shops, tattoo parlors, spas, and hair salons.
The president believes it is too early to reopen those specific venues. He mentioned that Joe Biden is “hiding in a basement” and that Biden has been “given a pass” by the mainstream media.
That remark caused the press to ask several questions that only served to advance their left wing agenda. The president, after answering more than a few of those questions and giving the press a piece of his mind, finally had enough and walked out.

The relief bill, which is expected to be approved today, includes $310 billion for the Paycheck Protection Program, $75 billion for hospitals, $60 billion for emergency disaster loans, and $25 billion for testing. Waters later added in her speech that additional COVID-19 aid must include funding for Americans “hurting by the exploding economic fallout of the pandemic.
“Congress must now immediately turn to the next package of legislation to provide relief during the pandemic,” she said. “We need to do much more to help renters, homeowners, people experiencing homelessness and mom and pop landlords.”
This came hours after Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) revealed on Twitter that her 86-year-old oldest brother Don Reed Herring, a Republican Vietnam War veteran, had passed away from coronavirus.

thepoliticalinsider--2020-04-23--Don’t Worry, We Won’t Forget That NY Leaders Dismissed COVID-19 Before Blaming Trump Of Results

New York Governor Andrew Cuomo and Mayor Bill De Blasio are only the latest symptoms of the problem .
Before I get into the article , let ’ s not forget that both Cuomo and De Blasio dismissed COVID-19 at the beginning .
They were still pushing New Yorkers to attend the St. Patrick ’ s Day parade until things got really bad .
Over the past month or so , Americans witnessed daily briefings in which New York State ’ s governor , Andrew Cuomo , made repeated demands of President Donald Trump , while exploiting his moment in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in town and all cameras should be on his State .
He said he wasn ’ t going to get in a political fight with the President , but he did at various times , and for that , Cuomo should go to Pres .
Trump and to those Americans across the country who specifically helped NYC during her time of need .
It is not Pres .
Trump who fell short in doing his job : that label fell on Cuomo his side-kick Bill de Blasio , mayor of New York City @ @ @ @ @ @ @ TOWN NURSES I was doing a bit of research .
The State of New York has some 323,126 Registered Nurses ( RN ) as of last year .
Had New York really required one million vents , they would have been doomed .
One RN typically takes two vents , three if they are stable .
If you consider 3:1 staffing for RN ’ s and vent patients , the State would not have enough RN ’ s to cover two or three shifts of nurses to cover the vent patients .
That @ @ @ @ @ @ @ medical-surgical units , nursing management , Surgery , nursing homes , etc .
I ’ ve yet to hear a word of gratitude for the many nurses nationwide who came to New York to assist with their “ emergency.
” I did , however , see a video of the NY Police giving them applause as they were leaving the hospital .
Had it been a real nationwide emergency , those nurses would have been needed elsewhere and unable to help hizzoner out .
MORE NEWS : Texas Judge Orders Citizens To Wear @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Fire Back Hard Apparently , the state “ officials ” are unable to understand they are unable to take care of themselves alone in such a crisis .
Face it , humility is not a characteristic of New Yorkers , and they get that profile from their leaders .
In this video , you ’ ll see New York ’ s finest saluting out-of-state nurses but no De Blasio or Cuomo .
TRUMP TRIED TO HELP NY , AND THEY STILL COMPLAINED Personally , I think the greatest hate directed towards the election @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Governors is due to the financial shenanigans used to hide their mismanagement of their cities and the State ’ s finances .
Many were teetering on the brink of bankruptcy and expected bailouts from a Hillary Clinton presidency to cover pension liabilities , wasteful spending , and their budget managing inadequacies .
They are now trying to use the Wuhan virus to extort monies from American taxpayers to cover the costs of all the campaign promises they exchanged for votes .
SHOULD WE FEEL BAD FOR THE PEOPLE OF NEW YORK ?
Urban @ @ @ @ @ @ @ as well as a democratically entrenched legislature .
They deserve what they are getting .
Be it , insufficient preparation by the city and State for a real emergency , or this new concept of releasing prisoners at the proverbial drop of a hat .
It appears that the urban elite of New York can not self reflect or understand previous mistakes .

Never in a hundred years .
To show gratitude or even a mild apology is to show weakness to their base and fellow travelers , also if they all benefit from the President ’ s aid and intervention .

MORE NEWS: Elizabeth Warren’s Oldest Brother, A Republican Vietnam Veteran, Dies From Coronavirus
Over the past month or so, Americans witnessed daily briefings in which New York State’s governor, Andrew Cuomo, made repeated demands of President Donald Trump, while exploiting his moment in the sun claiming he was the show in town and all cameras should be on his State.
NEW YORK LEADERS WON’T SHOW GRATITUDE
He said he wasn’t going to get in a political fight with the President, but he did at various times, and for that, Cuomo should go to Pres. Trump and to those Americans across the country who specifically helped NYC during her time of need. It is not Pres. Trump who fell short in doing his job: that label fell on Cuomo his side-kick Bill de Blasio, mayor of New York City.
FIRST RESPONDERS SALUTE OTHER OUT OF TOWN NURSES
I was doing a bit of research. The State of New York has some 323,126 Registered Nurses (RN) as of last year. Had New York really required one million vents, they would have been doomed. One RN typically takes two vents, three if they are stable. If you consider 3:1 staffing for RN’s and vent patients, the State would not have enough RN’s to cover two or three shifts of nurses to cover the vent patients. That is not even considering Emergency Rooms, medical-surgical units, nursing management, Surgery, nursing homes, etc.

In this video, you’ll see New York’s finest saluting out-of-state nurses but no De Blasio or Cuomo.
TRUMP TRIED TO HELP NY, AND THEY STILL COMPLAINED
Personally, I think the greatest hate directed towards the election of President Trump by Democrat Mayors and Governors is due to the financial shenanigans used to hide their mismanagement of their cities and the State’s finances.
Many were teetering on the brink of bankruptcy and expected bailouts from a Hillary Clinton presidency to cover pension liabilities, wasteful spending, and their budget managing inadequacies.
They are now trying to use the Wuhan virus to extort monies from American taxpayers to cover the costs of all the campaign promises they exchanged for votes.
SHOULD WE FEEL BAD FOR THE PEOPLE OF NEW YORK?
Urban New Yorkers voted these fellows in, as well as a democratically entrenched legislature. They deserve what they are getting. Be it, insufficient preparation by the city and State for a real emergency, or this new concept of releasing prisoners at the proverbial drop of a hat. It appears that the urban elite of New York cannot self reflect or understand previous mistakes.
MORE NEWS: Pelosi Claims Next Stimulus Will Allow ‘American People To Vote By Mail’
I have zero sympathies for the citizenry of New York City. Their arrogance and condescension towards anyone who does not share their mental mindset have turned off most of conservative America. As I noted, Cuomo and De Blasio are just the latest symptoms, and they are so out of touch with anyone outside of their bubbles, that they are unaware of how their little temper tantrum comes across.
DON’T HOLD YOUR BREATH
Never in a hundred years. To show gratitude or even a mild apology is to show weakness to their base and fellow travelers, also if they all benefit from the President’s aid and intervention. Their hatred directed to the President, in large part, is their hatred for half the nation.

While hosting her show “Deadline: White House,” Wallace had this to say:
There is something both tragic, and pathetic, and ironic about the fact that it took a, you know, color-blind, gender-blind, state-line-blind virus to sort of have all of the president’s sins from his first three years catch up with him. You can’t stand there and lie. You can’t contradict your scientists because they’re the ones that stand at 66 and 68 percent public trust, not you. He’s down at 38 percent. Pence is lower than him. I mean, he needs those people whether he likes what they say or not and I wonder what you think about whether or not there’s some silver lining there, that some of the things that, that we’ve been talking about for three years may be finally catching up with him?
This isn’t the first time Wallace has used COVID-19 to attack President Trump. Last month, she gleefully speculated that this pandemic could be “Trump’s Katrina.”

“Let’s just lean into that for a minute. Katrina was the moment when all of the things that felt incredibly incompetent about the Bush presidency…were realized,” a clearly-excited Wallace said.
Wallace, who served as George W. Bush’s White House communications director, went on to claim Bush’s response to Katrina gave his critics a “proof point” that he was “incompetent.”

It’s truly disturbing to see someone become so consumed by Trump Derangement Syndrome that she is celebrating something that has taken thousands of lives just because it could make the president look bad. Shame on you, Nicolle Wallace, and shame on MSNBC for continuing to give you a platform.
