Such a great, socially responsible company. I'm really going to miss the annual trip to DreamForce now that I'm retired.

I have to wonder how many he did before a staff member didn't say "it still looks like a big penis, try again".

MORE CHILDREN HAVE BEEN KILLED BY GUNS SINCE SANDY HOOK THAN U.S. SOLDIERS IN COMBAT SINCE 9/11

Yet Repubes still cower in fear of the NRA. Shameful!

Senator: 'The NRA lied about the December 2015 Moscow trip'

https://finance.yahoo.com/news/nra-r...163314111.html

Quote:
“The NRA lied about the December 2015 Moscow trip not being an official trip,” Wyden tweeted. “NRA leaders were told the trip was needed to prove Torshin’s American connections to the Kremlin, and that building relationships with Russians was ‘NRA business.’”

“While in Moscow, the NRA delegation met with a host of senior level Kremlin officials, including some of Putin’s closest advisors (at least two of whom had been sanctioned by the U.S. government), and multiple Russian oligarchs close to Putin,” Wyden said. “The now-convicted Russian agent Maria Butina made clear to the NRA she wanted to bring the ‘head of the most powerful political organization in America’ to Russia.”

And, the committee found in an email, Brownell was offered a meeting with none other than Vladimir Putin.

“After returning from Moscow, the NRA gave the Russians free rein over the guest list for its 2016 Annual Meeting,” Wyden said. “It also provided access to other political organizations in 2015 and 2016 like the National Prayer Breakfast and the secretive right-wing Council for National Policy.”

According to the New York Times, the NRA stated that it didn’t agree to pay for all of the trip’s expenses “but emails show that there was confusion long afterward about who was supposed to pay for what.” As a result, however, the New York Attorney General Letitia James is leading an investigation into whether or not the NRA violated its tax-exempt status because of how it potentially used donor funds.

“NRA officers’ apparent use of the NRA for personal gain fits a larger pattern of reported self-dealing and raises serious questions about whether the NRA broke U.S. tax laws,” Wyden said.
