Spilled blood is very valuable.

Inflation over time has really affected the value of 30 pieces of silver. May the anguished screams of the NRA’s many innocent victims destroy his sleep for the rest of his sorry life.

I always wonder about houses like this, with bathrooms big enough to throw a party in, with fine upholstered seating. Who’s lounging around their bathroom? Who’s sitting, soaking wet, on upholstered furniture? Why???

Only a good guy with a tax exempt French Chateau mansion…
Tell me again about how they hate the elitists.

Gives the guests at parties assignation spots I guess–ratio of 9 bathrooms to 4 bedrooms. Not enough bedrooms for all the extramarital shenanigans.

Oh shit…I glanced at the headline and thought it read,
Inside Wayne LaPierre’s Wet Dream.

I need a break. Time to go walk the dog and give him some carrots. I think he thinks he’s a rabbit.

Some years ago a woman friend of mine told me that the reason why they have chairs and sitting areas in woman’s rest rooms is because they need a place to sit for make up or during that time of the month.
In luxury homes it probably just fits into the style or vibe. The whole McMansion upsizing thing “Honey we really need a great room!” that was partially responsible for the 2007-08 real estate crash.

I hope rank and file NRA members see this. Maybe now they’ll realize it’s not about them and their relatively minor contributions. It’s actually all about the gun manufacturers who are paying the way, and thus are the true cause the NRA is fighting for.

And my friends don’t understand why I resist paying for an NRA membership to shoot at local gun clubs. It’s clear that more of your NRA dues go to the fluffing up the lifestyle of the organization’s leadership than it does protecting gun rights.

I think there was a recent article in the WSJ about how many baby boomers built McMansions and now can’t sell them.

At this point, it might be in the global interest to destroy them to reduce their carbon footprint, though I can’t imagine how that would work.

I need to get a job at one of those non-profits.

It would have been NRA dues and Russian money well-spent. An important and civic-minded man like Mr. LaPierre needs a nice place to relax at the end of a hard day keeping guns safe and readily available to all who need one or two or 50 in order to exercise their god-given right to hunt or defend themselves or commit a mass killing. And let’s not forget all that work that keeps high-capacity magazines safe from harm. And goodness knows he makes only a piddling in salary, benefits, and kick-backs and could barely afford a small shack in a seedy part of town if not for the generosity of others.

There’s a 21-gun Salute every time the front door opens.

The doorbell chime sounds like an AK-47 being fired.

Russian Rubles can buy a lot of house in Texas.

When you’re really full of shit it’s nice to have a bathroom nearby, I s’pose.

And it’s in a guard-gated community. I wonder if, unlike the rest of Texas, there’s a CC&R against open carry? You know, like at NRA Headquarters as well as its various blood-sucker conventions.

Rick is the first out of the gate cause he set the house on fire with:

Almost as tacky and tasteless as Trump’s home in Trump Tower. ALMOST…
