    Removing all of their institutional memory during an election year. Strong work.

      Hopefully they funnel every dollar the RNC has at his legal bills instead of any election campaigning and hamstrings the party down-ballot.

        I’m hoping they go to the fines and damages he owes. At least then it’s not lining the pockets of shitty lawyers.

    You mean that the experienced staff, whose jobs were to make sure that campaign finance laws are followed, are all let go, for some unfathomable reason? I wonder who they can get to replace them?

    . . . more than 60 RNC staffers who work across the political, communications and data departments will be let go.

    republiQans, you damned stupid bastards. Well, hey, it’s what you wanted. I’m sure you’re lovin’ it. Actually, I’m sure you have no clue this is going on, and wouldn’t know what it meant anyway.

    I was hoping for an actual bloodbath, this is just infighting and the consolidation of power. Hoping it fucking cripples the RNC.

    Fewer staffers means more money for Trump’s legal bills 🤣🤣🤣🤣

    This doesn’t mean shit if Trump wins the Presidency.

    But if he loses, this will seriously harm the RNC’s ability to support any Republican candidates after this year.

      Slowing them down after this is a plus, sure; but I’m still hung up on this: what would this let him get away with?

        Trump is in full control of RNC spending. Money coming in, money going out, it all flows through Trump.

        You can’t be a Republican candidate without professing fealty to him.

        Trump also has an MO which is give me everything, I give you nothing, so it’s suspect that he’ll use all funding for all candidates to line his own pockets which won’t allow any other Republicans to compete in any of their races.

        The danger to Republicans is that after this year if Trump doesn’t secure the Presidential nomination, all funding still goes to Trump, and Republicans are still kissing the ring of a man who holds no power outside of his undying support by 30% of voting Americans and his connection to Putin.

        What this tells me personally is that Republicans are all in on a Trump 2025 presidency, and my beliefs are that the rich and elite are too.

        I’m fairly concerned for the General election and expect a few more Biden attacks, Russian disinformation, and an economic crash all to attempt to sink Biden below Trump

    I feel so sorry for those worker… oh wait. These are RNC folk. Basically just below cops in terms of being workers I would not support. Fuck them. I hope they never find work again. Fucking fascists.

    Trump draining the RNC of all its funds and power just to save his own ass would be a poetic end to this all.

    was “in the process of evaluating the organization and staff to ensure the building is aligned”

    Well there it is. Basically eliminating criticism, kiss my ass or you’re out. Nice little purge on the small scale foreshadowing what he’d do as president.

    Seems like we should get the investigations started now and save some time on the other end, eh?
