Here is the one hundred fourteenth article in our Republicans on Parade series, featuring individuals who personify what the Republican Party has become. Today’s honoree is Republican Gun Smuggler and Ammosexual criminal, Oliver North. He is so honored for the additional evil he is about to commit in his new job.
You read that right. Oliver "Iran-Contra" North will be the next President of the NRA. Granted, it’s mostly a symbolic position since Wayne LaPierre gets paid around $5,000,000 a year to pimp guns.
But there is some really wild irony — trolling, even — involved here. North is the guy who facilitated arms sales to Iran, was convicted for it, and then saw his convictions reversed not because they weren’t valid, but because of technicalities with his immunity deals.
And now the NRA is a de facto paramilitary organization acting on behalf of arms manufacturers everywhere, with Oliver North as the face they turn to the public.
Oliver North, Cold Warrior, Reagan acolyte and eventual fall guy. Consider this Mother Jones story today about the NRA’s promotion of a Russian rifle which pierces U.S. body armor. How very patriotic of them.
In 2015, the NRA sent a delegation to Russia to tour the factory where the guns are manufactured which pierce American body armor. The delegation included Sheriff David Clarke along with a top NRA donor and past NRA president David Keene… [emphasis added]

This is what North has been doing lately.
Barf Bag Alert!!
I cannot imagine a less desirable candidate for this post. I also cannot imagine a more appropriate leader for the NRA, or one more worthy of a parade.
RESIST THE REPUBLICAN REICH!!

Good Lord. w.t.h.??
Very frightening. North is a trainwreck going over the cliff, in being in his ‘new’ position as pres. of the NRA! Literally.
UGH!!!
Yes. And we thought Wayne LaPierre was bad. You know, it would almost have been better if they HAD selected David Clarke. SMDH.
Why am I not surprised that this creep is now head of the Nazis Ruling America?
I had managed to forget all about North, thought him long dead, or at least buried in some obscure little town, mowing people’s lawns. But someone dug him up. Well, at least the NRA is honest about what kind of image they want to present to the American public. The one most damaged by having North as its president will be the NRA.
Wow!! I can’t believe, we’ll I take that back! Anything and everything that the corrupt NRA does doesn’t surprise me at all anymore!!! They have the gall to be supposedly with the GOP and then go out and let this traitor become their defecto president??? Ugh!!!!! Color me unsurprised!! They will do ANYTHING to follow in Drumpfenfarten’s footsteps! Makes so much more sense now, ?
Hell. It makes me sad that they are so stupid!!!
Thanks, TC! ?
North is the perfect guy for the job: lying, scummy, and a definite outlier, just like Dumpy was, and is! the wing nuts will rally around him, put his name into contention for the presidency, in 2024.
Thanks all. Busy Tired hugs!

What a jackass!!!
