Can the GOP really be dumb enough to have Lara Trump in charge of the RNC?  I mean that's like handing that family the keys to the Brinks truck.   You would think they couldn't possibly be this dumb but it sure looks like they might be.

It's possible. I don't think too many GOPers would be averse to the party (and, therefore, country) circle of power shrinking to being the Trump family and a few devotees.

Good and also good for him. He's clearly not healthy. It's fucked up our politicians have to almost die to leave office, or just die while in office.

They’ll vote for idiot! How humbling must it be for Haley she’s loosing to a total buffoon 😂 it’s great to watch 

What the hell is great about it? Policy differences are one thing, trump is another 

It’s great watching her getting humble pie she’s been in his corner for years and now that she’s trying to unseat him she’s going nowhere! Even with her trying to distancing herself from him, she’s swimming against the orange currents. 

Ugh, I hate thoughts like these…you hate Trump with a passion but can take pleasure in him beating someone who is trying to keep him from the White House. So weird is the best way I can put it.

She’s no better than him if you don’t think or believe that I find that weird! She’s already stated that if she were to become president she would pardon the orange sack of 💩 if she wanted my good thoughts she should distance herself completely from him, I’ll guarantee you that when he wins the nomination which he will she’ll gladly endorse him.

Sure am glad POOTWH came down that escalator to usher in a generation of repub dominance in all three branches and state houses. I mean surely he would have done so but you know, but for those dem chaos agents, fruit from the poisonous tree and Hunter’s laptop. Talk about eating your own, sheesh. From A Letter From An American:

Trump’s takeover of the party has been clear at the state level, where during his term he worked to install loyalists in leadership positions. From there, they have pushed the Big Lie that he won the 2020 election and have continued to advance his claims to power. 

The growing radicalism of the party has also been clear in Congress, where Trump loyalists refuse to permit legislation that does not reflect their demands and where, after they threw House speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) out of office—dumping a speaker midterm for the first time in history—Trump lieutenant Jim Jordan (R-OH) threatened holdouts to vote him in as speaker. Jordan failed, but the speaker Republican representatives did choose, Mike Johnson (R-LA), is himself a Trump loyalist, just one who had made fewer enemies than Jordan. 

The radicalization of the House conference has led 21 members of the party who gravitate toward actual lawmaking to announce they are not running for reelection. Many of them are from safe Republican districts, meaning they will almost certainly be replaced by radicals.  

The Senate has tended to hang back from this radicalization, but in a dramatic illustration of Trump’s takeover of the party, Senate minority leader Mitch McConnell today announced he would step down from his leadership position in November. McConnell is the leading symbol of the pre-Trump party, a man whose determination to cut taxes and regulation led him to manipulate the rules of the Senate and silence warnings that Russian disinformation was polluting the 2016 campaign so long as it meant keeping a Democrat out of the White House and Republicans in control of the Senate.

The extremist House Freedom Caucus promptly tweeted: “Our thoughts are with our Democrat colleagues in the Senate on the retirement of their Co-Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (D-Ukraine). No need to wait till November…Senate Republicans should IMMEDIATELY elect a *Republican* Minority Leader.”

Trump has also taken control of the Republican National Committee (RNC) itself. On Monday, RNC chair Ronna McDaniel announced that she is resigning on March 8. Trump picked McDaniel himself in 2016 but has come to blame her both for the party’s continued underperformance since 2016 and for its current lack of money.

Now Trump has made it clear he wants even closer loyalists at the top of the party, including his own daughter-in-law, Lara Trump. She has suggested she is open to using RNC money exclusively for Trump. This might be what has prompted the Koch-backed Americans for Prosperity to pull support from Nikki Haley in order to invest in downballot races.

i demand lauren boebert be impeached due to her son's criminal activities.

see, we can do it too.

Lauren Boebert's son Tyler made SEX TAPE with one of three accomplices who helped him break into cars and steal credit cards, bombshell affidavit reveals

•  The lawmaker's son, 18, is facing nearly two dozen charges in connection to vehicle break-ins and property theft in the republican's district

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-13142259/lauren-boebert-son-tyler-sex-tape-defendant.html

Rep Lauren Boebert's oldest son Tyler allegedly made a sex tape with one of his teen accomplices in a spate of vehicle break-ins and property theft in the republican's Colorado district.

Police narrowed in on Tyler, 18, after a teen helped identify him on a store's security footage, according to an affidavit seen by DailyMail.com.

The teen then told police that Tyler and a female accomplice had made a sex tape and that Tyler had sent it to another person in their age group. Tyler has not been charged with any crimes in connection to the alleged sex tape.

Tyler is accused of breaking in and stealing from four vehicles, taking cash, gift cards, a social security card and credit cards, as well as driver's licenses.

It's not clear which co-defendant Tyler allegedly made a sex tape with. His three co-defendants have only been described as a 16-year-old male, a 16-year-old female, and a 17-year-old female. 

While the age of consent is 17 in Colorado, the co-defendants haven't been identified because they are all underage, resulting in the charges of corrupting minors.

The teens allegedly used the cash to buy gas and food from a McDonald's and a Kum and Go in Rifle, though banks eventually started declining the charges. 

They also apparently tried to order $717 worth of merchandise from Shein.com, $175 at Kum and Go and $10.95 from a Starbucks.

An arrest affidavit claims Boebert was recognized on surveillance video at a gas station on February 20 by a police officer in Rifle investigating a series of vehicle break-ins and thefts. 

The video shows Boebert in a Shooters Bar and Grill hoodie - the restaurant formerly owned by his mother - while three accomplices, all underage, allegedly use a stolen credit card to get food.

Six victims are named in an incident summary, though their identities are also redacted, with the youngest just three years old. The remainder are between the ages of 18 and 32.

Tyler appeared virtually in a Garfield County court Wednesday from jail and was smiling and laughing as the hearing began, which Deputy District Attorney Tony Hershey said his Congresswoman mother listened in on.

Sex tape with an underage teen that is distributed is a serious issue.

Blowing some of the cash at Kum and Go really rounds out the story.
