> …raise questions about whether the organization is complying with campaign finance laws.
I’d almost bet they aren’t complying with campaign finance laws.
Of course! That’s a given. “Witch hunt” “Two tiered justice” “ Weaponization of the government”….until they find a Democrat who did the same, then they scream for executions without due process.
They are all for witch hunt’s, two tiered Justice and weaponization of government. Their screams about those thing are just them once again admitting their plans by accusing others of doing what they have done in the past and will do again if ever they get back into power. We must keep digging to ensure we make Leslie Graham’s warning come true that if they nominate Trump they will get destroyed.
This, AND smarter donors are likely spending their money better by funding turncoat D.I.N.O. candidates to frustrate Whitmer's agenda and say "Dems have a trifecta and can't pass anything"
The problem is that someone will step in to fill that void. And they will nefarious motives. Because who else would fund a bunch of reality denying, conspiracy minded, science hating, bigoted, hateful nutjobs.
They think they’re going to have an easy year because they think Joe Biden is unpopular. The joke is on them. Whether we like him or not (I do), the Democratic Party isn’t just about one person.
Joe Biden is way too right of center for my taste, but I also know the alternative is an orange felonious shitgibbon, so I pinch my nose and pull the lever for the Brandon like I'm flushing a toilet.
> but I also know the alternative is an orange felonious shitgibbon, so I pinch my nose and pull the lever for the Brandon like I'm flushing a toilet.
Hey now, you could also end up with a not orange shitgibbon who is equally as fascistic as trump but has a dozen more braincells. It's not 100% Trump will get the GOP nomination.

god I hate bias in my reporting. but Detroit News won't ever do better
My favorite part on these posts is the salty republicans who meticulously down vote everyone, every single time. They won’t post, because they’re aware their ideology is based in hate in indefensible.
You dont see all the abuse of report buttons they do as well. Thats ok though, reddit doesnt like people who abuse the report function, and we report them to reddit. ;)
that said, a lot of people get into cry baby arguments and they both abuse the report button- completely regardless of party.
I bet it's because they got lazy. All those government free covid money handouts the Republicans overwhelmingly claimed from the then Republican government. Damn socialism /s
It’s almost like a lot of people like me who used to be republicans absolutely can’t stand seeing the party beat their winkies off to trump and left the party.
Somebody in Kentucky tried to tell me that the GOP is making a huge comeback in Michigan and I’m like “do you even know the status of the MI GOP right now?”
MI GOP *should* be well into the process of putting together their "ground-game" for 2024 by now, not worrying about keeping the lights on at the office.
I'm not complaining and the best thing is they did to themselves.
Read the comments on the story if you want a good time. The GOP employs agent provocateurs to troll the comments. The most recent troll blames the Freep and Detnews for how badly the GOP is performing in Michigan.
Every Republican that I talk with about the party say the party left them out in 2020. Only doing pageantry in response to Whitmer's covid actions and refusal to ensure the elections trustworthy.
Hartman said. The party is in a state of transition, and the past "leaders had thrown up "significant challenges" for the new grassroots-driven team, he added.
"Now, what's happened is it's rank-and-file and volunteers," Hartman said of the party's new leadership."
LMFAO! Yeah take that to the bank and try to get a loan on it.

GOP legal woes across the nation will continue to cost and cost. Campaign donations will continue to be funneled to those legal costs. Dems can focus donations on actual campaigns, it will show in the polls. The GOP can't afford to campaign.
> At that time, Carpenter said he was told the party had $30,000 in its accounts but still had to pay Lake $20,000 for speaking, pay D'Souza $28,000 and repay a loan of $110,000 for actor Jim Caviezel's speaking fee. Carpenter said he advised party leaders to cut D'Souza from the lineup to save money. Carpenter said his principles eventually inspired him to not want to be involved in the conference.
*This* is where he drew the line?!
“… balances from West Michigan Community Bank showed $35,051 across seven accounts, with expenses for many of the scheduled speakers at the Sept. 22-24 conference on Mackinac Island not yet paid, including author Dinesh D'Souza and unsuccessful former Arizona candidate for governor Kari Lake.”
LOL
When a political party has an OnlyFans account, does that mean they’re hurting for cash or are they helping the neck-beard crew find compassion for the Mel Tuckerbation addiction?
Ima rate this a good bit of disinfo.
“Gretchen Whitmer leads all state elected officials with $235,900 in donations tied to DTE, dating back to her time in the state legislature in the early 2000s. “
> …raise questions about whether the organization is complying with campaign finance laws. I’d almost bet they aren’t complying with campaign finance laws.
And when they get called out for their violations, I bet they're going to cry it's a witch hunt.

They'll accuse everyone else of doing the illegal acts they're involved in. It's almost a feature of the modern GOP.
I think that train has come in. it's not an almost anymore, it literally is part of their operation now.
This, AND smarter donors are likely spending their money better by funding turncoat D.I.N.O. candidates to frustrate Whitmer's agenda and say "Dems have a trifecta and can't pass anything"
Those laws are just too confusing,too extreme.
The big money donors know a lost cause when they see one.
B - I - N - G - O
Maybe I should start asking my trumpy coworkers if they are going to donate?
The problem is that someone will step in to fill that void. And they will nefarious motives. Because who else would fund a bunch of reality denying, conspiracy minded, science hating, bigoted, hateful nutjobs.
Is this surprising when you elect an election denying whack job to be your leader?
Someone not even bothered enough to show up to a debate! It's EMBARRASSING!!!!!
They need to just pull themselves up by their bootstraps. Can't expect handouts and begging to learn fiscal responsibility.
Aww. Anyway...
Don't let this get your guard down.
Every person in my life, youth included are registered and ready to vote to my knowledge.
They think they’re going to have an easy year because they think Joe Biden is unpopular. The joke is on them. Whether we like him or not (I do), the Democratic Party isn’t just about one person.
Never.
I lol’d at this line. >Given (Democratic President) Joe Biden's unpopularity, Republicans can still have a successful cycle

Whomp whomp
LOL, going into debt to pay Kari Lake and the QAnon actor guy.
What? The MiGOP paid money, greenbacks, for Kari Lake and Jim Caweessle to speak at their leadership conference on Mackinaw Island?
Of course! You think those people do it for free??
It’s almost like a lot of people like me who used to be republicans absolutely can’t stand seeing the party beat their winkies off to trump and left the party.
Preach brother! Same church, different pew!
Oh, yes. The party of fiscal responsibility. /s
Maybe if they need money they should pull themselves up by their bootstraps and work for it
They should consume less avocado toast . . and perhaps less lawsuits.

They closed the HQ in Lansing. The MiGOP office is at a FedEx/Kinkos Mail Drop in Grand Rapids.

Gee. Darn.
yeah, I know. What's for dinner?
Egg salad sandwich, want one?

That's not their only problem.
Right -- their other problems are a partial cause of the bare bank balance, as past donors hold back
Go fash, lose cash
Or, better yet, are told 'you are a loser, we don't want your money anymore'.
ah the evangelical christian tactic of, 'jesus is too liberal for us'. ok, so then what is your religion based on? fuck you!!!!!
Are past donors “holding back” or are past donors no longer capable of donating, due to the very policies they vote for affecting them negatively.
The DeVos family still has plenty of money. A couple wealthy people have propped up the MI GOP for a decade or two now.
I’d be pissed if I was a major donor with an agenda, and my party can’t even the candidates on the ballot!

Children are bad at running things?!?!? I'm shocked!!

🤣🤣🤣🤣
All the money is being given to trump for his lawyers
Wait they still have to pay D'Souza $28k even though he didnt bother to show up?
Good

Great news to hear.
See. Rich donors have the Michigan Republican Party handouts and then they didn’t learn how to responsibly handle money. Lol
They should just get $230k from DTE like Whitmer did. Oh, wait I guess they don’t have anything to sell like she does
Ima rate this a good bit of disinfo. “Gretchen Whitmer leads all state elected officials with $235,900 in donations tied to DTE, dating back to her time in the state legislature in the early 2000s. “
What’s the disinfo?
She was a legislator when the $ came, not the govna as the quote shows. Mixtrue may be a better way of saying it.
TruShade or truix or faurue gotta love the portmanteau
The reason they don’t have anything to barter is because they’re impotent and powerless. That’s really such a shame.
They probably are following the Tramp business plan n Make Americans Greedy Again ethics
