Yesterday we suggested Trump just let the Alabama thing go, but clearly he didn’t take our advice. Here’s a couple of tweets from Trump in the last few minutes:

In other news that I meant to get to yesterday…
NY TIMES – Unsettled by recent mass shootings across the nation, the San Francisco Board of Supervisors unanimously approved a resolution this week declaring the National Rifle Association a domestic terrorist organization.
The resolution was introduced by Supervisor Catherine Stefani on July 30, two days after a shooting at a garlic festival in Gilroy, Calif., in which three people were killed and more than a dozen others injured.
While the resolution has no practical effect, Ms. Stefani said in an interview on Wednesday, “I firmly believe that words matter, and I think this is a step in fighting the negative impact of the N.R.A.”
The N.R.A. saw the action as a publicity stunt.
“This is just another worthless and disgusting ‘sound-bite remedy’ to the violence epidemic gripping our nation,” Amy Hunter, a spokeswoman for the association, said in a statement on Wednesday. “This is a reckless assault on a law-abiding organization, its members, and the freedoms they all stand for. We remain undeterred, guided by our values and belief in those who want to find real solutions to gun violence.”
Just when we think they’ve reached the limit of how loony they can be…
Seriously, this is absurd on all levels. The NRA has no power whatsoever over federal, state and local governments. Here’s the Great One expanding on it:
The NRA Isn't The Enemy
