Nepotism is nothing new to the RNC. Hell, the one leaving is a Romney. And, as long as the Saudis throw money at Trumps, the Russians use their money and disinformation to help, and they continue to cut taxes on the wealthy and corporations, the party will survive.
I really want you to be correct. I want the Republican party to disintegrate, the Maga faithful to be embarrassed and crawl back under their rocks, and the nation to take a lurch to the left. But I wanted the same when a Republican President blatantly broke the law, gave weapons to our enemies, and nothing changed. Or when a Republican President got us into an unnecessary billion dollar war based on lies and nothing chaged. Or when a Republican President literally tried to overthrow the government, and nothing changed.
It’s not just nepotism, though. The GOP under Trump has pretty much discarded the Old Guard and any pretense of even-handedness. The New Guard is literally uncompromising, and the “purity tests” are overwhelming. This is a party sabotaging its own ability to function and setting up a way to deplete its finances.
"Senator, do you know what a airline pilot is? Perhaps you need small words in order to understand:
Hello little fella. I fly airplanes. They go whoosh whoosh in the sky. Me make them go up, and make them go down. Time for naptime for you. Such a big boy!"
The “Old Guard” are like roaches. They’ll flee when things get too bright, but they’re still there. They’ll raise money. They’ll pull strings behind the scenes. They’ll wait it out. Just like they did with Nixon’s inpeachment, Neocons, Contract with America, the Tea Party, the God botherers, and Trumps first term.
RNC chairman says Americans are worse off today than they were four years ago.
I.e. March 2020, when everything was closed, unemployment was 15%, there was no toilet paper, and people were being tossed into mass graves because the morgues were full.
At least, I think that’s what he was trying to say, because he accidentally said things are better under Biden.
I suspect that it was just that he didn’t listen to a word she said. The purpose of these legislative hearings isn’t to hear what the witnesses say its for the legislators to pontificate, and time listening is time that is wasted that could be spent on thinking about what they are going to say next.
Bill to provide money to Iowa school districts to arm teachers passes Senate committee. It would also require larger districts to hire private resource officers.
