Sweet Nothin’s at the NRA

August 07, 2020 By: Juanita Jean Herownself Category: Uncategorized

Ya know, we ought to feel a little shame about gloating over the imminent demise of the NRA.  Everyone should be extending their thoughts and prayers to Wayne LaPierre because he is apparently suffering from a serious medical condition.

This news was buried in the middle of the New York Attorney General’s complaint:

 

  1. 320. LaPierre also used the pass-through arrangement to conceal private travel and trips that were largely personal in nature. Upon information and belief, LaPierre directed Ackerman to pay for expenses related to NASCAR events, country music events, and even medical visits, and bill those through to the NRA. For example, in 2018, LaPierre asked the president of Mercury Group [Tony Makris] to accompany him on a visit to a medical clinic. In connection with this visit, the president of Mercury Group and LaPierre flew on a private charter and stayed at the Four Seasons for several days. The cost of this hotel for both the president of Mercury Group and LaPierre was paid for by Ackerman, but ultimately borne by the NRA. The lodging alone cost the NRA $9,550. The NRA also directly paid for the private travel associated with this visit to the medical clinic.

The name of the medical clinic wasn’t included in the complaint, but one can only surmise that LaPierre and Makris went to the California Health & Longevity Institute diagnostic clinic in Westlake Village, California and stayed at the nearby Four Season.

Seems like the kind of place you would go with your wife or girlfriend, but then LaPierre and Makris have a long-term personal relationship.  And there’s more abut their relationship here.

 

Tony Makros took LaPierre “on free hunting safaris.”

 

I’m sure that Mr. Makris was a source of great comfort to Mr. LaPierre in his time of need even though they have since had a spat.

Thanks to Alfredo over at the Dairy Queen for the heads up.

    Kindred spirits, Trumpf & LaLaPierre. Kindred organizations, The Trumpf Organization and the NRA. They have a passion for corruption. Of course it’s all the fault of Dems, the media and false news- except it isn’t.
    Unfortunately, this will further fire up his cult.

    Is anyone really surprised that, after the suit was filed and the president found out about it, he suggest the NRA decamp to Texas? And then the Texas attorney general invites them down, suggesting by his invitation that the NRA could continue its corruption as a Texas corporation. Only an accused felon would be so bold as to make that offer. Birds of a feather and all that.

    Hey now, remember we’re the party that accepts people’s alternative lifestyles, no matter what. We should loudly and repeatedly swear our support for whatever ammosexual lifestyle LaPierre and his “hunting buddy” enjoy. I may make a billboard-size poster for the next gun show that comes through Dallas (there’s about one a month, seems like).

    It takes a manly man to shoot a big horned bull.

    Just to give perspective: Jeanine Pirro says ‘It Happens All The Time, It’s No Big Deal’^.

    So get accused of defraud for millions; no big deal. Get accused of trying to pass a counterfeit $20; death penalty…

    A cape buffalo will just stand there and look at you like you owe him money if you’re in a vehicle. Makris doesn’t look like the type to go stalking game on foot.

    AK Lynne @8, we just wish those wild moronic game hunters would learn the art of photography. It’s not about killing. Beauty is capturing the beauty of wildlife to encourage others to preserve biodiversity. Our youngest boy knows that. We adopt dogs as ranchies and cats as barn agents. And, we accept them as household pets when they can no longer fend/defend themselves with arms open household pets.

    Youngest house kitty is almost two. She’s total DNA Bengal Tiger, but for some reason was not born with the teeth necessary to make it as an outside cat. But she’s happy, well fed and loved.

    We’re a ranch. Yes we carry guns, when it is sometimes more humane to allow an animal a humane death when waiting for a vet isn’t an option.

    But to hunt? GMAFB A-Soaps like Dimwit Mint Junior and Tony Makros deserve to be tried, convicted, then offered up to the animals for justice.
