The NRA's Dallas convention center deal: $5k to rent space, a $482k discount and a $445k subsidy
This coming from the same city who banned a porn convention from using the exact same space.

LOL! So the large penis convention was prohibited and the small penis convention was allowed and discounted. Welcome to Texas Y'all!!
you know, maybe texas SHOULD secede.
There are a lot of people here that aren't able to leave. I generally don't like when people trot out this line.
fair, and understood. It was more of an /s comment, and also in reply to the tone to whom I replied.
No hard feelings! I just see it a lot in a serious manner and you know how well sarcasm carries over the internet.
I honestly understand why people would feel that way, too! The government here is pretty shitty and you always hear nothing but awful stories.
I get your point, but we should evict all the idiots so we can have a happier country. There must be a deserted ocean island someplace that we could ship them.
I hear Russia is really nice this time of year. There are a few that have gone ahead, like Steven Segal!
I get your point, but I would never inflict Russian citizens with the crazy people we have here. Most Russians are not like the sick government they have right now. Putin is a psycho. Maybe we could ship them to the DPRK since they love fascism so much. :)
I’d be fucking pissed if my tax dollars paid for a convention center that was then leant for practically free to a legally corrupt organization that was also found to be a front for Russian agitprop. How the hell is the NRA even still around? Oh, wait, I know the answer.
How are they legally corrupt?

Or the other 200 news sites that covered the trial
