Donald Trump cemented his grip on the Republican National Committee on Friday after his daughter-in-law and another ally assumed top leadership posts amid a debate among members over whether the organization should help pay his legal bills.
RNC members meeting in Houston voted to appoint North Carolina Republican Party head Michael Whatley and Lara Trump as chair and co-chair of the organization, which will play a key role in marshaling voters and funds for the Nov. 5 general election.
The move comes after Trump swept the Super Tuesday primary contests, prompting Nikki Haley to drop out of the Republican race and all but assuring the former U.S. president will be the nominee and face off against President Joe Biden, a Democrat.
“The goal on November 5th is to win, and as my father-in-law says ‘bigly’,” Lara Trump said, promising that “every single penny of every dollar raised” would go toward the goal of winning the White House, the House of Representatives and the Senate for Republicans.
How embarrassing for Republicans, that their party is being gutted from the inside by a poor, orange, dementia-ridden blow-hard. He’s stealing from their coffers to pay his debts and killing off the RNC to make room for the Trump Party.
Really wonder how centrist Republicans feel about it. Abject horror? Or do you guys support it?

Regan is literally called a RINO. This is the reality we are in. Regan is too far left for the modern republican party.

If any of those fucks actually read the bible they would be burning it.
There’s a passage in the Bible where Jesus states exactly what the most important rule is, and why. Yet too many Christians argue with it because it’s too easy (or too hard, for them) to follow.
36 “Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law?”
37 Jesus replied: “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’
38 This is the first and greatest commandment.
39 And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’
40 All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.”
Matthew22: 36-40
Don’t forget about the giving your wealth away parts
21 Jesus answered, “If you want to be perfect, go, sell your possessions and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me.”
22 When the young man heard this, he went away sad, because he had great wealth.
It’s easier for a camel to fit through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the Kingdom of Heaven was always one of my favorites.
Always has been.
Jesus might have been tolerated prior to Southern Strategy.
What happens if they ever figure out he’s a Jew?
If they find out most miracles were performed in Palestine, Syria and Lebanon? Ugly is going to be the ugliest we’ve seen, so far.
*Reagan
Eh. He isn’t worth getting his name right.
I like to call him “that asshole who liked to watch the piss trickle down.”
I am a fan of ‘the only man I laugh at when I think about him ending up with dementia’
His kid Ron was on Conan’s podcast not long after Jan 6. They both make fun of his dad and it’s hilarious. Ron even does impersonations of him.

There’s a second one coming right now, if he’s not there already
Right of Reagan except for some light union support.
Possibly even right of Reagan there.
Yet conservatives may be shocked to learn that their idol Reagan was once a union boss himself. Reagan was the only president in American history to have belonged to a union, the AFL-CIO affiliated Screen Actors Guild. And he even served six terms as president of the organized labor group. Additionally, Reagan was a staunch advocate for the collective bargaining rights of one of the world’s most famous and most influential trade unions, Poland’s Solidarity movement.
-Ronald Reagan Called Union Membership ‘One Of The Most Elemental Human Rights
I don’t think that outweighs him firing the air traffic controllers for going on strike.
Reagan was the fucking worst asshead politician of my lifetime. Just god awful. And him firing the air traffic controllers was shitty. But that was on that shitty union. I’m saying that as a very pro-union person, who worked for a couple of decades for a union. That doesn’t mean there aren’t shitty unions out there.
I remember seeing something a few years back that said all of the American rich dudes wanted Reagan as POTUS because he was a great public figure head that could be manipulated with “bribes” and the simple act of rubbing elbows with them on occasion.
Essentially he was easily placated and a good soldier to do their bidding.
I know about this. He is the worst kind of person: he got his and then made it to away for the rest.
Gotta keep that unskilled nepo-baby train a-rollin’! Chooo chooooo
I’m fine. She’ll send all the money to pay her father in law’s legal bills and bankrupt the party. This is a problem that will sort itself out.
Fucking hell I’m so sick of hearing about him. My dad has turned fucking looney bin and thinks trump is some kind of saviour and praises him all the fucking time. And according to him somehow trump was preventing all the current armed conflicts and other shit and I honestly just want him to get assassinated or fall in a manhole full of h2s so I can finally get some peace. Other people in my city too, we aren’t even American so stop fucking telling me you are going to vote for trump because you fucking can’t
Once he does die, that party is going to be in shambles. They’ll destroy each other trying to fill the void.
I hope so I was hoping this was going to happen when he got elected but apparently the republican party just seems to get eaten by whatever is the popular radical movement of the time.
My money is on Trump dying from an overdose of hamberders, diet coke, and adderall.
“If we nominate Trump, we will get destroyed…and we will deserve it”
— Lindsey Graham (May 3, 2016)Yet here we are 8 years later and absolutely nothing has improved.
They’ll install him as their emperor soon enough.
As “God” foretold /s
Nothing like watching these morons burn their party to the ground. Who’s ready to add some gasoline in November?
I hope enough people, in the right states, vote.
They literally can’t burn themselves to the ground because there are only two parties to choose from. This is guarantees they’ll retain power regardless of how terrible they get.
We thought they’d burned themselves to the ground after 2008, with the economy collapsing and two never-ending wars occurring courtesy of Bush, but then they came back with the Tea Party bullshit in 2010. In 2012, we thought they’d burned themselves to the ground running morons and failed half-term governors like Palin but then they held the house and took the senate in 2014. In 2016 we thought they’d burned themselves to the ground by nominating Trump, but then he won.
This will never end and the Republicans will always stay in office.
Do it! Give everything to that orange motherfucker. He’s just going to give it away in lawsuits, so the only beneficiaries will be his victims. I’m fucking here for it.
the only beneficiaries will be his victims
He’ll be using most of the funds in his closed circle economy of lawyers and lackies who are tasked with preventing his victims from receiving a penny. Those people then pay him and his expenses to keep him and themselves in power and ensure funds keep flowing. Not to mention the constant targeting of opposing parties for harassment by the people he has successfully radicalized.
His victims might get a few pennies, but almost definitely they’ll get a whole world of death threats. “Give him everything” is the same short-sighted policy of appeasement they tried on one of his role models.
This is only true if he doesn’t lose.
He’s losing. A lot.
In what way? The RNC will be funnelling cash before the election, and nothing has been done about Trump beyond some civil suits since his presidency. What has happened to make you think his cash flow has been restricted enough to prevent churning new loans that he won’t pay? He’s been doing it his entire life.
I guess we’re all eagerly waiting to see what happens with the $400m or whatever he needs to pony up for the NYC case.
Perhaps I’m overly optimistic but I want to believe he has to run out of idiots to pour cash over his burning carcasse one day.
Reminds me of Hillary Clinton. She installed allies throughout the Democratic party to ensure that she got the nomination. Then had a disastrous run and screwed up the financing for other candidates.
Hopefully we’ll see another disaster for the Republican party. Who was it that said that Trump would destroy the Republican party if allowed in?
Lindsey Graham, who went on to say that they would deserve it. He has, of course, knelt and kissed the ring ling since.
Iirc, Lindsey Graham. Republican voters tend to fall in line, whereas people voting Democrat do have those who vote their minds.

You are always free to join one of the many Conservative communities online. They’re all badly run shitholes full of awful people, but I repeat myself…
You can just say “sane people”. No need to use so many fancy words.
