Former NRA CEO Wayne LaPierre has been found liable for $5.4 million in a civil corruption case. The jury recommended that LaPierre be held for $5.4 million in damages.

NRA and its senior management were sued in 2020, claiming they misappropriated millions of dollars to fund personal benefits.

It was just a couple of generations ago that the mission of the NRA was promoting gun safety. That purpose sure has morphed over time, hasn’t it?

Now it’s about extorting money from Congress, the corrupt enrichment of its leaders, and, most importantly, making it impossible for Americans to protect their loved ones from mass shootings.

We are trying so hard to find something about our nation of which to be proud but it sure is a struggle sometimes.

A reader asks: Can I get the scare tactic for next cycle? I want to get a head start on the memes.

Ha! Exactly.

Republicans are counting on the idea that the average American is so ignorant that he can’t distinguish between the governments of modern-day North Korea and Norway.

This is how far we’ve fallen, and in just a few years.

What’s next?
