NRA Executive VP Steps Down, Says He’s Proud of His Accomplishments and His Closet Full of Designer Suits

The Executive VP of the National Rifle Association, Wayne LaPierre, has resigned from the organization, ahead of the start of a civil corruption trial. New York Attorney General Leticia James is suing NRA executives for corruption, accusing them of diverting NRA cash for personal use, like designer clothes, fancy trips on private jets, and luxury cruises. 

He cited health issues as his reason for resigning. Because sitting in court getting your ass sued can really wear on your well-being. 

No word if LaPierre is going to start his own line of high-end clothing. He could call it “Giorio Right to Bear Armani”

It takes a lot of guts to grift an organization where you know all your members have weapons.

Remember when we thought that laundering Russian money into the Trump campaign was the worst thing they could do?

In the meantime, we can all offer LaPierre and the NRA our thoughts are prayers. While we’re stifling our laughter.

We Will Miss All of George Santos’s Accomplishments

Now that the House of Representatives has ousted George Santos from his seat, we should take a moment to remember all of the things that Santos has done over the years.

  • Winning the Heisman Trophy as a punter for Appalachian State
  • Taking the famous photo of the Marines raising the flag on Iwo Jima
  • Writing the screenplay for Everything Everywhere All at Once
  • Playing the voice of Daffy Duck in Space Jam 2

As a side note, Santos left the House chamber before the vote was completed. He was probably checking the pockets of coats hung up in the coat room to look for loose change.

And then there’s this:

I Hope I Die Before I Ever Hear This Quote From a Pundit

I worry that, 10 or 20 years in the future, some political hack says, “I honestly think that Donald Trump and Ted Cruz would just be too liberal for today’s GOP.”
