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.

On The Rachel Maddow Show tonight, she discussed what happened with Bud Light & TikTok.

In both cases Trump & the GOP went nuts on their own megadonors.

Anhauser-Busch & Jeffrey Yass are both major donors, yet Trump waged a year long attack on them until they forked over a fundraiser or cash.

Then Trump's assault on their investment suddenly stopped.

For the GOP, campaign finance is both bribery & extortion.

American democracy is in a "Everything Must Go" GOP fire sale.
