"Blood bath at #RNC" 1/...

"Trump’s newly installed leadership team at the RNC began the process of pushing out dozens of officials.

All told, the expectation is that more than 60 RNC staffers who work across the political, communications and data departments will be let go. Those being asked to resign include five members of the senior staff, though the names were not made public. Additionally, some vendor contracts are expected to be cut" #Trump https://www.politico.com/news/2024/03/11/bloodbath-at-rnc-trump-team-slashes-staff-at-committee-00146368

2/ He wants power and $$.

Just as he did in the WH.

Blather, wince, repeat.

3/ I'm not gleeful about this, although I get why some of you are.

Fascism isn't funny, at least, not to me. But since the RNC is broke, I think they have about $8 million now? this will indeed hurt down ballot races for the GOP.

Whatever money there is will go to Trump's legal fees and campaign, or whatever else he needs (more ketchup?).

But I'm not laughing. I'm alarmed. Power/$ = the goal. He's aggressively pursuing those.

Democracy suffers again.

@GottaLaff 45 has always had just 4 goals: money, power, fame & sex; in that he has been consistent and is therefore predictable; the wild card is a more recent 5th goal: staying out of prison, which makes him desperate and even more ruthless. Now the SC has greenlit him, the next 9 months will be crazier than ever. And the media will lap it up.

It does look chaotic. Most of his supporters await his next piece of bad press with anticipation. So any press he gets is doing more harm than good for the country.
