Three dissident board members of the National Rifle Association resigned on Thursday, saying that their confidence in the group’s leadership is “shattered.”
This Really is starting to put a damper on laundering of russkie money for 2020.
Butthurt ammosexuals…
Why am I smiling bigly?
Ta Ta! Wonder if there’s anyone left in the building? Next maybe they’ll be closing headquarters because they can’t afford it.
Seventy six members on the board? What a joke of governance, actually lack of governance.
Thoughts and prayers as they retreat to lick their self-inflicted wounds.
The article says 76. Crazy!
So who has more Russians? The NRA Board or the GOP Senate?
Ask Allen West…
I deleted my post. You can tell how carefully I don’t read some articles. Looked again. How could any organization function with that many board members. Six or seven is usually plenty.
I asked this question some time ago. Apparently it’s not unusual for non-profits to lard up their boards with celebs who aren’t expected to do anything. These three non-celeb board members did try to do something and got tossed.
I’m assuming you used snark font. The Russians are way past the NRA… they’ve got Len Blavatnik, Andrew Intrater, Alexander Shustorovich, Simon Kukes, among others. Those 4 gave millions to the GOP in 2015-16. I don’t think anyone’s looking into them, but they are all tied to the Russian money network.

You know what I think? Not enough guns.
Mandarin Mitch is pissed off about the moscow label, and rightly so. He gets all his subsidies from China via his wife and her family.
"Sometimes, you read a book and it fills you with this weird evangelical zeal, and you become convinced that the shattered world will never be put back together unless and until all living humans read the book.

Poor Babies.
More appropriate if they’d been fired.
And their families charged for the bullets.
It really needs to turn into a parody song based on “76 trombones”.
Seventy-six gun nuts led the N. R. A.
With a hundred and ten right wingers on the way.
They were followed by rows and rows of “fine people on both sides”,
And all in Mr. Putin’s pay.
The Politburo?
The many-headed Hydra! Beware!
So there has been so much self-dealing and corruption that the Board of Directors were supposed to be conducting oversight on that was swept under the rug for so long. I guess when you have 60 or 70 board members that many just look at it as a check and reason to fly to NY for a meeting or two per year.
