Two months after CIA buys weapons, they are found in ISIS hands.

ISIS and rebel group were not only fighting Assad's troops, there were also fighting each other. The idea that the CIA supplied weapons might fall into ISIS hands seems fairly probable.

If US guns are sold with few restrictions in one state, does the fact that they end up in another mean they were supplied directly by the gun sellers? Not really.

Heck, remember the Marine barracks in Lebanon, lo these many years ago?
The CIA not only supplied the explosives but tracked them all the way to Lebanon... didn't tell the Marines though.

Bryan Cranston: “But this is really historic because it’s the first time in 25 years that a Democrat has been elected senator in Alabama. Now to give you an idea of how long ago it was, Roy Moore was dating girls back then who are now in their 30s.”

So you think AG Holder, and the BATF are innocent from the murders carried out from guns trafficked in the scam known as "fast and furious"?

Obama's AG conjures up a plan [supposedly] to track weapons going south from Phoenix. When the gun store owner objects, he is manipulated into selling guns to traffickers against his will. These guns continue to be found in crimes in Mexico, as well as used in the murder of border agents in Az. and Texas.

The best democrat candidate that the dnc can come up with to lead the blue party HRC, was making a big stink about the M16's being used by the cartels, and was pushing for gun confiscation, until it was found that the rifles didn't have serial numbers. Then she stfu.

It seems the way you understand it, Holder and Obama are innocent of arms trafficking, because they didn't personally hand the guns to the murderers?

I have wondered about this? https://www.vox.com/policy-and-politics/2017/10/11/16458142/congress-alzheimers-pharmacist But no drug tests for congress or mass killers. Got to have priorities and check every cdl driver.

Did you see the by-district results of the Alabama race? The vote was nearly 50-50, with the democrat winning, but by district Moore won more than half the vote in 6 out of 7 districts. Look at the shapes of the districts. Understand what it means for one party to win almost half of the votes, but in a congressional race they would have only win 1 out of 7 districts.

I don't care who the parties are, that is just wrong.

Same way you probably understand people who don't try too hard to enforce or make gun laws and laugh or undermine attempts to do so. NRA and such supporters.

Then have cities disbanded. Democrats win 90% of votes in cities. Republicans 60% in non cities. (Something like that) Imagine if the state had an electoral college type system instead of just using the popular vote for Senator. We'd have Senator Moore now.

I'm going to go extreme here. Imagine if next election Dem A wins California, New York, and Illinois by 10,000,000 votes, and Rep A wins the other 47 states, by a total of 9,000,000 votes. Who should be President? The man who is favored by more Americans, or the man who is favored by more Americans in each of 47 of the states?

This is why the EC in the first place. So a few big cities cannot determine the winner alone and the small places get ignored. Or worse yet, vote fraud in the big cities. In-between, machine politics choosing.

The EC system works.
