Surprised this has not been settled with guns at twenty paces.
A real old time shoot’um up.

The first Commandment of the Republican Party must be, Thou shalt not alloweth an opportunity to grift pass without taking full advantage.

The grifting done for guns under the 2nd amendment and in the name of “God” is mind boggling. And the lemmings continue to dole it out! It’s a good thing the Republicans hold the Executive branch or Treasury would be all over these two. If they don’t declare the expenditures or claim them. When I worked in the steel mill, I could only claim one pair of steel toe shoes. And no clothes I could wear elsewhere.

The proof keeps snowballing in, that the whole outfit exists to create junkets for the board and executive team. Your $45 membership dues buys a $5 pocketknife and 1/10 the cost of Wayne LaPierre’s hooker for the evening.

I’m sure Jeffrey Epstein made sure Wayne’s “massages” were on the house.

I don’t fully understand this. Is Ackerman defending their own featherbedding by pointing out that someone else was featherbedding too? Talk about circular firing squad.

(A big-dollar development type who schmoozes with the major donors may well be able to turn this right back on them by giving numbers on how many millions in donations that $450K was responsible for. Or not.)

The unasked question in all if this should be: Is such behavior de rigueur for conservative PACS?

The unsolicited answer is yes.

"In a statement to TPM, the NRA called the document “stale news – being recycled by those with personal agendas.”

They should hire a PR firm to take care of such things!

"National Rifle Association’s longtime imagemaker "

It occurs to me that you don’t want to tick off the people who clean the dog shit off your shoes. They just might have been storing it for just this occasion.

And I’m astonished! Not one penny spent at a Dump venue? It isn’t the Jews who are disloyal Mr. Preshitdent - it’s your loyalists.

Is it wrong that I’m smiling bigly at the ongoing ammosexual implosion?

What’s going on at the NRA is schadenfreud-licious! I love it when conservobots turn on each other. Pass the popcorn! But seriously, the NRA should be investigated under RICO, along with violating every single non-profit IRS rule there is. And then there’s the quashed FEC investigation into Russia funnelling money through them to Gooper candidates.

Epstein pocketed the $400 for himself and paid the “massage therapist” $0.

The NRA’s membership really needs to start asking questions about where the NRA is getting all that money, methinks.

Maybe the news media could start the ball rolling?

And people think Bernie Madoff had a massive scheme going.

Take the gun…Take the cannoli.
