    I can only hope this plays out like when Trump gutted the whitehouse. They got rid of all the people who knew how the office ran and who the important points of contact were. Then they couldn’t get shit done. A lot of Trump’s biggest “accomplishments” were basically just rubber stamping shit Mitch McConnell teed up for him.

    I hope the RNC gets totally gummed up this election season.

    Given enough time, Trump’s yes men will eventually figure out the levers to pull, but the first 3 to 6 months are usually a cluster fuck when a something like this happens.

      That’s exactly what’s going to happen. 3 to 6 months is too long in an election. They won’t be able to recover from that.

      IMO, the best way to fight fascism at this stage is to accelerate the process of fascism eating itself. This is a pretty good example.

    Jebus, can you imagine being a republican right now? Remember what they used to say about the Obama cult of personality. I’m just floored.

    They’re going to pull a Hillary and spend all the money for the party on the presidential race, and spend it poorly.

    If Dems pull their head out their asses we could have control of the House, Senate, and Presidency again.

    It’ll probably be wasted again, but there’s a good shot they’d at least pass a budget on time.

      If by presidential race you mean Trump’s legal bills, then sure.

      I’m curious to see if they can properly fund the convention this year. The 2016 RNC was around $65M, and by current reporting, they don’t have enough in the bank to cover the inflation on that figure. Certainly, some money must have been already spent, so it’s not like they need the entire figure right now, but they do still need a lot of it. Maybe they can get a loan and make it work, but that only drags down funding other things even more.

    “MAGA is now in control of the Republican Party!!” Greene wrote on X

    Missed opportunity if the Dems don’t share this to energize their base.

    Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., celebrated news of the staffing cuts, suggesting they send a clear message about the direction of the GOP.

    Ok, shithead.

    Either way, I’m here for it. Gut your resources. The positive will come when campaigns suffer.
