"SNIP......

House Minority Kevin McCarthy reacted to a story about corporations giving Republicans more money by threatening his own donors.
......

McCarthy was essentially telling corporations that if they give House Republicans money, they will use that money to win back the majority, and then punish them.

The media, donors, and political institutions keep treating Republicans like they are a normal political party, but this sort of comment illustrates why they are not.

Besides the fact that McCarthy is telling corporations to save themselves by donating to Democrats, he is also making it clear that Republicans while still being the party of corporations, are also the party of Trump, and in the party of Trump, any slight, real or imagined, results in punishment.

5. He's an idiot.

I don't see him ever being Speaker even if the GOP, God forbid, wins back the House. Even the Republicans know he's too much of a dolt to lead their party. They'll elect Trump as Speaker first.

6. Corporatism soooooo...90's....

Today's Republican Party of full on fascist.

I.G. Farben and Krupp made lots of money towing the Nazi party line. But it was never about corporate profits. It was all about fascist power. If Farben or Krupp management stepped an inch out of line, the Nazis would have strung them up with piano wire and not batted an eye.

8. Translating a Jason Easley story usually requires a decoder ring and a strong drink.

On the rare occasion that something from Politicus interests me I usually Google the matching story from NYT or WaPo which is usually written in English.
