Open thy right hand

Will the RNC learn that Orangegoliant’s lust for money can never be satisfied before he turns the organization in to a withered, empty husk?
Donald Trump is calling for a shakeup at the highest levels of the Republican National Committee. And party leaders are taking it very seriously.
Shake up? More like a shake down.
To be clear, this is not normal.
Trump has yet to secure the GOP’s presidential nomination and just last week, he and current Chair Ronna McDaniel privately agreed that no major changes would take place until after South Carolina’s Feb. 24 primary.
You’ll guess what happened next.
But that didn’t stop Trump from announcing Monday on social media that he wants McDaniel to be replaced by Michael Whatley, the North Carolina GOP chairman. The new co-chair, Trump said, should be his daughter-in-law Lara Trump.
The only thing that surprises me is that he doesn’t also want one of the Innsmouth Men to be put in charge.
At any rate, the attempt to ditch McDaniel and sink his tiny fingies even deeper into the Republican National Cash have both been inevitable since 2015. The clock on McDaniel’s welcome started to wind down when she said the RNC couldn’t keep covering his legal fees if he ran for president. How dare she suggest that he wouldn’t get everything he wants the second he puts on that constipated curmudgeon pout that he thinks is intimidating? To slimy scumbags like Dump consent is permanent. The RNC willingly gave him money in the past. Therefore it must continue to give him money whenever he says so, forever.
Plus, someone has to pay his attorneys, and it isn’t going to be him.
Donald Trump looks likely drain his war chest for legal fees this summer, leaving the GOP frontrunner crunched for cash just as his presidential campaign ramps up spending for an expected rematch with President Joe Biden.
Trump spent $51.2 million in 2023 on legal expenses, and can tap another $26.6 million stashed in an allied super political action committee that he can use to pay his lawyers. But as his four criminal cases ramp up,
Four criminal cases. But he’s three years younger than Joe Biden. So being on trial for four different crimes is a sign of youthful vigor. I think that’s how a Very Serious Journalist would put it.
those funds are expected to run out at a critical time — around July, when the Republican National Convention triggers the official start to the general election campaign.
That leaves Trump with only a few — unappealing — options to keep paying for his defense.
Those options do not include dipping into his allegedly vast personal fortune. Or dropping dead. But making sure there are no blockages in the RNC to DJT pipeline could help. Help him, that is.
According to the AP News article, the asshole echo chamber effect could be another factor.
Trump has for years had a hot-and-cold relationship with the RNC, but he has been under increasing pressure from leaders in the party’s “Make America Great Again” movement to break from establishment leaders like McDaniel.
In particular, people like former Trump adviser Steve Bannon, conservative activist Charlie Kirk and former presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy blame McDaniel’s leadership decisions for the GOP’s political struggles in the last three national elections. (Those election losses also coincide, of course, with Trump’s emergence as the face of the party.)
Nice.
Trump’s allies complain that the RNC has been irresponsible with its money.
Yes, the RNC keeps shoveling it into the Trumpster fire.
Recent campaign finance disclosures released showed the RNC had just $8 million in the bank and $1 million in debt.
Giving anyone named Trump the keys to the cash box will solve the RNC’s money problems.
Meanwhile, the DNC reported about $20 million in December, and you know what that means. Some dusty dildo like Brooks is writing an article that calls on Democrats to share the wealth with the RNC.
