    I mean, they all voted with Trump over 90% of the time, even people like Liz Cheney

    Who actually thinks that horse face waffle house waitress MTG is the outlier? She’s just the one most desperate for fame and attention…like she’s trying to star in the new reality show “Real Hoes of the House of Congress”

    Hillary Clinton, the day after the 2016 election, beginning her concession speech: "Last night, I congratulated Donald Trump and offered to work with him on behalf of our country. I hope that he will be a successful president for all Americans."

    This my friend is propaganda spreading by Traitor Ted, the despicable lying Senator from Texas. Fear mongering and lies is the Republican mantra these days.

    Support of Trump is all that matters to these people. Liz Cheney voted for Trump's policies 94% of the time, but now she is a RINO outcast. These jackasses do not care about actual policy.

    Gaetz, MTG reignite calls to defund special counsel Jack Smith following third Trump indictment

    Gaetz introduced his measure to defund Mr. Smith’s office in July. He took to social media to again rally behind his legislation, which would halt any authorized federal spending from going to Mr. Smith’s office.

    “DEFUND JACK SMITH’S WITCH HUNT AGAINST PRESIDENT TRUMP,” Mr. Gaetz wrote on the X platform, formerly known as Twitter.

    Greene called the indictment a “political assassination.” She pitched using the Holman Rule to defund the special counsel’s office. That rule lets lawmakers add amendments to federal spending bills that would reduce the salaries of or fire federal employees.

    Elites will love it. They love it when political intrigue is the top of the news cycle which a televized court trial of a former president achieves. Political intrigue dominating news cycles is always more preferable than news about things like rising rent prices dominating news cycles for the wealthy class.

    Everything has fallen off a cliff': Battleground state GOPs nosedive in Trump era

    State Republican parties across the country are struggling. Can they recover? Does it matter?



    https://www.politico.com/news/2023/08/02/broke-state-gop-parties-across-the-country-00109387


    Michigan’s Republican party is broke. Minnesota’s was, until recently, down to $53.81 in the bank. And in Colorado, the GOP is facing eviction from its office this month because it can’t make rent.

    Around the nation, state Republican party apparatuses — once bastions of competency that helped produce statehouse takeovers — have become shells of their former machines amid infighting and a lack of organization.

    Current and former officials at the heart of the matter blame twin forces for it: The rise of insurgent pro-Donald Trump activists capturing party leadership posts, combined with the ever-rising influence of super PACs.

    “It shouldn't surprise anybody that real people with real money — the big donors who have historically funded the party apparatus — don’t want to invest in these clowns who have taken over and subsumed the Republican Party," said Jeff Timmer, the former executive director of the once-vaunted Michigan GOP and a senior adviser to the anti-Trump Lincoln Project.

    Among some state GOP officials, the mood is grim. One Michigan Republican operative, who was granted anonymity because he wasn’t authorized by the state party to comment, said of that state party: “They’re just in as bad a place as a political party can be. They’re broke…Their chair can’t even admit she lost a race. It’s defunct.”

    The demise of the GOP state parties could have a profound impact on the 2024 election. Operatives fear that hollowed out outfits in key battlegrounds could leave the party vulnerable, especially as Democrats are focusing more on state legislative races. Traditionally, state parties perform the basic blocking and tackling of politics, from get out the vote programs to building data in municipal elections.

    But not all Republicans are concerned. In fact, some argue that modern politics in the age of super PAC make state parties relics of the past.

    “In this modern Super PAC era, the state parties just don’t really matter,” said a national Republican operative who works on Senate races, granted anonymity to speak about internal political dynamics. “There’s a lot of hand-wringing and bullshit about the parties being weak…. At the end of the day, the Michigan GOP being a train wreck is not going to have any real impact on whether or not we win Michigan.”


    Still, even that operative noted that weak state parties could have damaging effects in lower-profile state races. And others see potentially sweeping consequences up and down the ballot next year.

    Democrats, for one, say they see an opening and are now doubling efforts to win back state legislatures.

    “It means Republicans have enormous missed opportunities for early organizing and investing in a strong ground game,” said Jessica Post, a spokesperson for the Democratic Legislative Campaign Committee, whose efforts to defend and make inroads in statehouses saw its best in a presidential midterm since Franklin D. Roosevelt’s era, creating three Democratic trifectas and losing no Democratic majorities.
