The Stupid Coup

Who knew MAGA has a clubhouse in DC?

Last summer, while most of official Washington was still reeling from the historic assault on the Capitol, a clubhouse for Trump White House exiles hosted a bash that all but toasted the insurrectionists and plotters responsible.

“Hot Gulag Summer,” held at the nondescript Capitol Hill town house leased by the Conservative Partnership Institute, advertised Jan. 6, 2021-themed cocktails, including the “Capitol Attaquiri,” “Insurrection on the Beach” and the “Mostly Peaceful Mojito.”

“We’re all going to be sent to the gulag eventually,” the invitation read. “We might as well party and get to know each other before we are all ‘reeducated.’”

That notable GOP humor! Those madcap scamps! Ho-ho!

CPI raised $20 million last year alone, and its network of nearly a dozen affiliate groups, several headed by ex-Trump aides, likely raised more. Donald Trump himself has endorsed the group’s work, boosted its fundraising and even donated $1 million to the group from his PAC in 2021.

Getting $1M Ameros out of that grifter’s wallet is a remarkable achievement, when you think about it.

Nearly two dozen alleged members of the Jan. 6 plot are connected to this address. That’s not random, that’s institutional and well-funded. These orcs and minions of the Orange Sauron are coordinating the next insurrection, of that you can be certain. Some names specifically mentioned in the article:

• Cleta Mitchell (and where Cleta is, Ginni Thomas is. Well-known fact.)
• Mark Meadows
• Jeffrey Clark
• The House Freedom Caucus
• The Senate Conservatives Fund
• Caroline Wren
• Dan Scavino
• Jenna Ellis

The good news is that it is one-stop for serving subpoenas I suppose.

The article is worthy of being your lunchtime read. Keep Conservative Partnership Institute and CPI on a Google Alert, I have a feeling they are going to be big players to watch in 2022 and 2024.
