Sloppy actually correct here. We have had a rash of horrible Senate candidates in the past 2 cycles, especially in Georgia. That's Trump's fault. He has a weakness for people who claim undying support for him. He's backing these people because they claim to love him, not because he thinks they're the best. And that's obviously dumb.
My belief about Trump is the same as before. Very good first 3 years, despite the media trying really hard to sabotage him. Great at foreign policy -- somehow he had a natural feel for that, which actually surprised me. I thought he'd be okay at best at foreign policy, but instead every move he made turned out to be correct (opposite of both Biden and Obama, especially Biden). His governance was not extreme in any way.
However, he handled COVID poorly (just bad leadership/messaging, obviously Democrats handled it like fools as well). He really handled losing poorly. He has repeatedly backed terrible candidates who end up losing in races where a normal GOP candidate would win. He is a narcissist who couldn't keep himself off of Twitter and couldn't moderate his personal behavior to fit the office for which he was elected. These were all big problems.
Much like I think Rudy Giuliani did an incredible job cleaning up NYC in the '90s (something Democrats tried and failed for years), I also think present Giuliani is a semi-senile clown. Similarly, I think Trump brought us some great foreign policy and effective measured conservatism from 2017-19, but he fucked up his final year and also was the most sore loser in the history of sore losers (ok, perhaps tied with Stacey Abrams).
It's Desantis' time.
and they wonder why a civil war is brewing, only one party believes in this shit and let's go on with no consequences, and when parents fight back at school board meetings they are deemed "domestic terrorists"...

Jared Kushner is now under Congressional investigation by two committees for “improperly influencing U.S. tax, trade and national security policies” to bail out his family’s real estate business.

Yes and no. My individual contribution is public information. But if I was a Republican billionaire, I could funnel my donation to a dark money group and no one would be the wiser.

Ok, but someone went to a lot of trouble to collect this data and for what? I don't think anyone would be surprised if an employee
and employer aligned politically.
Regardless of the data, this serves no purpose except to deflect the major flaw re: political donations
which allows "big money" to bolster a campaign. The ramifications of candidates recieving heavy funding from corporations etc. is lost on no one.
I just pointed that out. Connecting an individual's political donation to their workplace is meaningless.
There is no joke there. Your political system is the joke. You, the average citizen is being pushed aside.
If somehow they could get you to not vote then they'd really have a run. You have that Ace up your sleeve for now.
A sign that Trump’s hold on the party is getting tenuous?

Oh that's been clear since the midterms.
Most Republican social media influencers of already abandoned him and are pushing Desantis now.
Trump brought a unique outlook and strategy to Republican politics, and it was effective for awhile, but soon enough there was going to be a more stable person who was able to do the same thing better. That's what we have now with Desantis, and after Trump's candidates flopped badly in this election and also dragged down the party as a whole, he's rapidly fallen out of favor.
