Honestly, that doesn't surprise me that much. We already know that the GOP cares about money more than it cares about people. This is just confirmation.
Ever since that crackpot Karamo took over it's been like this.
Big doners leaving, constant questions on budget and planning, "choosing" not to use their traditional headquarters after years of using it, bickering between county and state officials, dwindling money supply, and all she has to show for it is "I designed a new logo!"
If I were more of a tinfoil hat sort of guy I could've swore she was a plant to destroy the republican party from within.
“He kicked me in my balls as soon as I opened the door,” Mr DeYoung said, adding that Mr Chapman ran at him and slammed him into a chair.
Mr DeYoung gave his account to the outlet over the phone from an emergency room where he said he was being treated for a broken rib.
For his part, Mr Chapman alleges that Mr DeYoung had swung at him and said: “I’ll kick your ass.” Mr DeYoung denies this happened.
Continuing, Mr Chapman says he removed his glasses, took Mr DeYoung by the legs and knocked him down: “When you see me taking my glasses off, I’m ready to rock.”
I'll admit, I didn't think I'd ever vote for another republican again, but I just might vote for a republican who kicked another republican in the goolies so hard it broke a rib.
Serious people - the kind who read, and understand things, and work well with others - do not behave this way. And the worst part is this is not only "not new", it's nowhere near going in the right direction.
"Look, I've watched the first two thirds of a lot of mafia movies, and it's obvious that you can just go around intimidating and assaulting people to get what you want with a bunch of other people willing to do the same, and nothing bad will ever happen to you because everyone's always got everybody else's backs. I don't know why more people don't do thi- [sudden cut to black]."
It’s really crazy just how quick politics flipped in this state once we passed the redistricting referendum. Like, I knew there’d be a shift in power, but holy wah. The MI GOP basically owned this place for decades.
The cannibalization of the GOP is so very entertaining. The party that tries so desperately to convince people they're the nonviolent ones can't even stop from attacking themselves.
Mr Chapman said he and others said the Pledge of Allegiance together in the lobby outside the meeting, after which he jiggled the doorknob of the meeting room.
Tbf, there are far more pressing reasons for distrusting Tankies. Leaving instances vulnerable to being hacked is for sure aggravating, but it is insignificant next to the gulag-backed paranoid & ultra-corrupt authoritarian hellholes which they so admire and wish to extend globally.
