I like this bit: > The Heritage Foundation established the “2025 Plan,” which aims to usher in an entirely new government of people who are loyalists to the conservative cause. **The idea that the group is claiming to be behind such an effort is angering the elder Trump sons as well as their father,** which is why the men were dispatched, the report claimed. Anything that drives a wedge between these two groups of assholes can only be a good thing. Left to their own devices, the Trump clan will screw this all up, like they always do. that would still suck for America, but it will suck orders of magnitude less than letting the far more competent HF run things. ---

> [@Horatius](#): > > Left to their own devices, the Trump clan will screw this all up, like they always do. Trump will do what would be called in music ‘The Retribution Tour’. Way worse than his first tour, or his entire life. The Heritage Foundation, may have an actual plan, which would be worse. But Trump indicted 4 times with 91 felony’s is still in charge of the ‘party’ what ever the hell they now. ---

Trump, through one of his cronies, was planning to hold a $250,000 a head fundraiser in a suite at the Miami Grand Prix. This sort of commercial activity is strictly against the rules, not that Trump ever gives a shit about rules, but race officials sent a cease and desist order to stop the fundraiser. I know this is the disreputable _Daily Mail_, but the story is originally from the _Washington Post_ but is paywalled there. > **[Donald Trump's fundraiser is SHUT DOWN at Miami Grand Prix](https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/formulaone/article-13362641/donald-trump-warned-miami-grand-prix-fundraiser-violation.html)** > > Donald Trump's plans to hold a fundraiser at the Miami Grand Prix have been shut down by event organizers, who penned a cease and desist letter Friday night. ---
