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.
