Yeah, that's going to be a fairly big thing in this instance. Court documents, including the repayment plan and the list of creditors, are public record, I believe.

Additionally, corporate bankruptcy doesn't really much take into account your expected income, unlike personal bankruptcy. The courts have to see that you're expecting to have enough income to actually complete the plans you make, but raising money has never been particularly hard for the NRA. The NRA could even conceivably pay off all their creditors in short order and still be able to operate, though probably not at full capacity for a while.
Or the NRA could simply be exaggerating with the "strongest financial condition in years" statement.

I wonder if anyone's going to start looking at whether Rasmussen polling is wholly legitimate. They released more polls this weekend and according to Rasmussen... Trump's gained a point over this time in December. For the past four years, Rasmussen's polls have always defied popular sentiment and even other conservative polls, but this last week has showcased their strangest takes yet - all other conservative pollsters are showing Trump nudging out Nixon for unpopularity. If their polling is giving genuine results from some sample, maybe whatever population it is that they're sampling should be studied, because they're some goofy people.
Obviously Trump still has supporters, but there's no way he's kept them all over the past few months.
Yeah, I think everyone here agrees on that part.

Their results are often called into question. Land lines? Adjusting by party identification? Their "likely voter" filter? Take your pick. Even if their results were both accurate and legitimate, the fact that they're off from everyone else literally by "do you approve of the riots", it no longer matters. They're a joke.
Felt like this can go here because the coronavirus fuck up is one of if not the worst fuck up by the Trump administration and Rand Paul is only helping the Trump administration fuck it up by being the ignorant dumb piece of shit he has always been.

It is amazing how much Kentucky fucks over this country by voting for the worst pair of senators America has probably ever had.Sen. Rand Paul contradicted the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and told people during a FOX News interview on Friday to discard their masks once they have been vaccinated against COVID-19 or have been infected with the coronavirus.
"If you’ve had the disease or you’ve been vaccinated and you’re several weeks out of your second dose, throw your mask away and tell Dr. Fauci to take a leap because, once you have immunity, you don’t need to do this," the Kentucky Republican told Fox News host Lauren Ingram.
The CDC says "not enough information is currently available" to lift its recommendations that people wear masks and practice social distancing after getting the vaccine.
"Experts need to understand more about the protection that COVID-19 vaccines provide in real-world conditions before making that decision. Other factors, including how many people get vaccinated and how the virus is spreading in communities, will also affect this decision," the CDC says.
"Masks and social distancing will need to continue into the foreseeable future — until we have some level of herd immunity. Masks and distancing are here to stay," Dr. Preeti Malani, the chief health officer at the University of Michigan, told PBS.
Malani also said that no vaccine is immediately effective. It takes roughly two weeks before an immune system to make the antibodies necessary to block the infections.
Experts also aren’t sure whether the COVID-19 vaccines prevent people from spreading the virus. As of right now, the vaccines are only known to prevent people from getting sick. Until experts can determine that, the safest thing is to keep wearing masks, according to Dr. Tom Frieden, a former CDC director.
Some on social media criticized Paul for his comments.
"With this ludicrous statement, Rand Paul presents more compelling personal evidence that he remains a very ignorant, dangerous, and misguided individual," tweeted former CIA Director John Brennan. "Unfortunately, we have far too many of them within our midst and within our government as of late."
Good.
I'm cynically hopeful that these challenges will lead to barring him because, despite Florida's Governor being a Trump sycophant, it seems that a lot of rich people don't want Trump living there.
And furthermore, I'd have to think the number of law firms still willing to represent Trump is pretty small.

Census Bureau says Trump's push to exclude undocumented is dead

I've been keeping an eye on that. They trickled it in over the weeks from "we might not be done in time" to "we won't be done till March" till "ah fuck it, Biden will kill it before we could finish".
One of the biggest weaknesses of relying on the E.O. is that they can be undone. However, if you use them too late, meaning (like this example) they aren't complete before reversed, well, it's an objective failure.
McConnell has apparently given Republican senators permission to vote against the party and with their conscience (hah) in the upcoming impeachment trial.
(serious) a bit late, but why did a hardcore republican like Arnold Schwarzenegger publicly denounce and dehumanize Trump a week ago?
