"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 fascists like to purge their own ranks as they accumulate power. But those remaining afterwards feel even more tightly bound to the fates of the higher-ups.

The fired RNC employees must be debriefed. Offer them 1 week's rent to spill everything they know about Trump & his cronies. 😉

@Nazani @GottaLaff they wouldn’t. They were already loyalists, just no longer loyalist ENOUGH, or maybe even just inconvenient to the new leadership.

Not so sure. Being suddenly jobless enhances focus & clarity.

Some rich Democrat can offer 11 months of COBRA for compensation to the first half-dozen takers and only the idiots won’t raise their hands.

Sounds like a plan.
"CERTAIN STAFF ARE BEING ASKED TO RESIGN AND REAPPLY FOR A POSITION"
So they may not be able to get unemployment benefits. Oh, well, like COBRA, that's bleeding-heart liberal stuff, anyway.
