Can we focus on the fact that she's a Russian spy pleading guilty? I'm much more interested in that than treating the story like a dating profile!

I would love nothing more than for the NRA as it exists today to fold like an accordion in the wake of this. It's not an advocate for gun rights, it's a gun industry bribery vehicle that frightens the easily manipulated into supporting its objectives. And it fell for a Russian ploy while trying to complete those objectives.

She has tha Russian woman thing going on. A pretty smoking body probably but a jacked up face.

Kind of a Cross between a super model and Broomhilda.

Butina is pretty enough to be engaging for old guys like Wayne LaPierre. I'm sure she could be very engaging when she wanted to be.

Wow, obviously not many of you have reached the point of "I can't believe that ugly old woman is younger than me" :D

Second the idea of the NRA going down. What a shit organization.

Many Russian women like Fernando Valenzuela in a dress.

Fixed that for you. Although its always good for a laugh to see these desperately lonely guys claim how they totally wouldn't fuck some women. Hell half the guys spouting off about this shit probably can't even get an erection and the other half probably can't find their dicks due to being massively obese, so absolutely the only thing stopping them from being able to fuck all these women is how ugly the women are... :rolleyes:

Yep, fuck the NRA. Looks like they've decided to dabble in outright treason, so double barrel fuck them.

In my case I can still get an erection and I'm nowhere obese.

Depending on what she’s pleasing to the NRA could be in very deep shit.

It would be really satisfying to have the NRA go down over this too, they are such an evil organization.

What would be especially useful here is if she had any information to suggest that any part of the $30 million the NRA spent to help Trump in 2016 came from Russia. Then they'd be royally screwed.

Fell for it, or went into it entirely with its eyes open.

Well, if I put Russian money in a pot with American money, stir it up & give some to Trump, why, none of it is Russian money. Because reasons & shit. No, you can't see the books because we're a, uhh, charitable organization. Yeh, that's it...

Pleading guilty to conspiracy. Cooperating with all authorities. Probably really not good for some people.

Did I stumble into r/cringe or something?

It would be the height of irony if the supposedly pro2A NRA ended up in bed with Russia as part of a crazy Russian psyop.

The Russians know that what the NRA spews is poison, so they're glad to help them do it. They def don't put up with that bullshit in the Motherland.

The NRA is so corrupt that they'll say anything that sells more guns & keeps the money rolling in. They've been saying it so long they may actually believe it.

Funniest part and my numbers may be off. The Russians were giving like 40 million to the NRA, so far this year they have a 20 something revenue short fall on top of last years 15 million short fall.
The NRA budgets just like the republicans in Congress.

I don't think you can substantiate that $40M claim.
