Chipman's deleted tweets resurface:

Mostly they just confirm what we already know about him.

Most dems and MSM nowadays considered those "mainstream" views.

Even CNN think he's in trouble, maybe

Quote
Chipman has privately been holding one-on-one meetings with wayward senators to assure them he respects the Second Amendment, planning a meeting with GOP Sen. Lisa Murkowski of Alaska on Wednesday, meeting with independent Sen. Angus King of Maine on Monday and even meeting with pro-gun groups in West Virginia and GOP Gov. Jim Justice at Sen. Joe Manchin’s request.

Some are still not sold.

Almost every jackass who wants to screw over gun rights declares his or her devotion to the Second Amendment.   ;/

CNN saying Chipman's confirmation is in trouble means he is really a shoe-in for the position.  This is CNN manufacturing disinformation to aid in his confirmation.  He will be confirmed. 
Note that according to the CNN story, he is meeting with Republicans and others that are already squishy on the 2nd.

If there really was intelligent life on other planets, we'd be sending them foreign aid.

Conservatives see George Orwell's "1984" as a cautionary tale.  Progressives view it as a "how to" manual.

My wife often says to me, "You are evil and must be destroyed." She may be right.

Liberals believe one should never let reason, logic and facts get in the way of a good emotional argument.

Heh. I wonder if CNN called senators "wayward" when they weren't ready to rubber-stamp one of Trump's nominees.

You gun owner guys are all just a bunch of tiger kings.

Well considering his ATF is usually occupied with burning children alive maybe we should see how they fare against targets with the means to shoot back.

To be fair, at Waco the ATF did go up against shooters (albeit, not ones really dedicated to killing agents, because they agreed to a ceasefire when the feds ran out of ammo) resulting in some dead revenuers.
And it was the FBI who burned the kids.

Watch the video, atf goes in a window with MP-5, a few seconds later full auto comes out the wall hitting the agents on the roof. Some of those dead agents were friendly fire. Once they use a tank on you it’s all fair anyway.

Think he'll get a free pass from the dems?

Quote
But what may end up finally ending Chipman’s bid to head the nation’s firearms regulatory agency are allegations of racist remarks he made about fellow black ATF agents while working in the ATF’s Detroit office. We wrote about those allegations here back on June 22 when the American Accountability Foundation sued for access to Chipman’s ATF personnel file.

Last week, however, The Reload’s Stephen Gutowski wrote that multiple ATF agents have confirmed the reports of racist comments by Chipman and of complaints filed against him that resulted.

Wow. A relatively unbiased, you might even say negative, story on Chipman by CNN.

I gotta wonder if people like that assume "the nation" is the people on the left that agree with him and everyone else are people they will unite against.
