All Forty-Three Republican Senators need to be grabbed by the wallet, forthwith Part 2 of 4
If Senate Republicans were smart they would vote to convict Trump, but they are not smart. They are terrified of Trump. Feckless cowards. And BIG Banks fund their pockets...
2022 Election - 34 Senate Seats are UP
That’s right the total number of Senate seats up for election in 2022 is 34, and the Senate Republicans have to defend twenty (20) of the 34 seats. As the map shows, the 14 seats that the Senate Democrats need to defend are actually safe to very safe. Meaning if the Senate Republicans acquit Trump and the deadly insurrection- then the following Senate seats need to flip red to blue1
In the actual Order of likelihood of flipping red Senate seat to a blue Senate seats in 2022
PENNSYLVANIA- Pat Toomey 2 his Democrat Challenger (current PA Lt Gov) John Fetterman - his campaign website launched two days ago https://johnfetterman.com
OHIO - Rob Portman is “retiring” thereby not seeking re-election. To date there is no named Democrat Candidate for this Republican Senate Seat, however “Former Ohio Department of Health Director Dr. Amy Acton –Acton announced on Feb. 4 that she had stepped down from her role at the Columbus Foundation to consider a bid”
WISCONSIN - Ron “gamiejean-tax-evasion” Johnson. During the 2011 election, in 2011 Johnson narrowly won by <3.5% and his continuing obsequiousness to Trump should have consequences. Johnson’s Democrat Challenger is Tom Nelson, he announced he was formally running U.S. Senate in Wisconsin to take on Ron Johnson. https://nelsonforwi.com - Tom Nelson’s YouTube Channel or follow him on Twitter @NelsonforWI check out his pinned tweet too
INDIANA - Todd Young -in the last election Young won his Senate seat by >9%. To date I have been unable to confirm a “announced” Democrat Challenger. However something to keep an eye on; Mike Schmuhl current Transportation Secretary Secretary Pete Buttigieg, former Campaign Manager announced Wednesday he wants to be the Indiana Democratic Party’s next leader. and I would keep an eye on the Indiana State Democrat Party
MISSOURI - Roy Blunt - the last time Roy Blunt ran, we won by a very slim margin, of <just 2.8%. Blunt’s Senate Voting record has a few surprises. For
A few days ago Scott Sifton formally announced @ScottSifton he is running for Senate. Scott Sifton’s YouTube Channel check out his Video formally announcing he’s running. https://scottsifton.com/ “where we raise our hands to support voting rights, not violent insurrection; to salute classroom teachers, not cop killers; and stand up for racial justice; not white supremacy."
NORTH CAROLINA - Richard Burr is not seeking re-election - Jeff Jackson announced on January 27, 2021 via Tweet promising to return “decency and honesty” back to politics. https://www.jeffjacksonnc.com
ALABAMA - Richard Shelby, on February 8, 2021 Shelby announced he would not seek re-election in 2022. The beltway rumors are that Mo Brooks will be filing to be the Republican Nominee to fill Sen Shelby’s seat
FLORIDA - Marco Rubio - little Marco is absolutely terrified of Donald Trump, that the mere whisper of Ivanka Trump might primary him was enough for Rubio to “get in line” and not to defy Trump. In the last election Rubio’s victory was a margin of >7%. Recently Democrat Allen Ellison announced his candidacy to challenge Rubio. https://allenellison.com, follow his Twitter Account, his campaign’s YouTube Channel
In short, with Trump as the de facto leader of the Republican Party, he has eschewed any sense of righteous accountability. Yet the Senate Republicans must and should pay the price for condoning Trump’s Deadly Insurrection. Let’s not forget the 2018 mid-terms, where Republicans lost. Then the 2020 with Trump at the top of the ticket, Republicans lost the White House, the House of Representatives3 and the Senate. The destruction Donald Trump has brought upon the Republican Party shouldn’t be ignored. In four years the American people voted to repudiate Trump-ism and that matters, at least that’s what I tell myself.
The bigger issue is, if your political adversary is digging a hole, don’t stop them. Instead consider handing them a shovel, pull up a lawn chair and pour yourself a nice tall glass of sweat tea and watch them destroy themselves. The Republicans will learn that their “relationship” with Donald Trump is that of mutual destruction. Trump gleefully set asunder the main guiding tenets of the Republican Party and no unlike a Phoenix, I can’t see the Republican emerging from the ashes of the fires Trump set.
Mob, I mean Mo Brooks Jan6th
Now let’s look at the BIG GOP SENATE DONORS
To be fair this will likely take a few articles to fully explain and properly drill down on the donors and recipients. The National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC), markets itself as:
The NRSC (National Republican Senatorial Committee) is the only national organization solely devoted to retaking the Republican Senate Majority and electing Republicans to the United States Senate.
In addition I also ran a current NRSC FEC Report and noticed on their loan summary the NRSC, shows a loan balance of $9,000,000.00 see page 4…
The NRSC’s Unitemized individual contribution $ 79,802,709.11, see pages 1 & 2. As many of you know the “unitemized donations” has long been a major pet peeve of mine, because >51% of all funds raised (in this reporting period cycle to date) have come from unknown/unnamed individuals. And it is a trend I saw spike during the Trump era.
NRSC’s Hold the Line Q4 2020 Political Ad
”hold on, we aren’t done yet” but then America said “yes we are done here”
Chain Bridge Bank - Funded the NRSC NEW LINE of Credit
Facebook Twitter LinkedIn based on a preliminary examination of Chain Bridge Bank’s digital footprint, astonishingly there is zero reference or acknowledgement of the January 6, 2021 Violent and Deadly Insurrection. Again it is one thing to make an assertion but it’s another thing to provide readers with facts and actual proof. In the last few days of Q4 2020 the Senate Republicans (NRSC) were consistently out raise by their Democrat counterparts. Hurting and Desperate for cash the NRSC sought the financial assistance of Chain Bridge Bank4. See recent NRSC FEC report, secular to Chain Bridge Bank, which you can pull down from my public drive, found here
FEC REF-ID = SC00.0930
Amount of Loan = $20,000,000.00
Interest Rate = LIBOR+280
Date Incurred 03/18/2020
Date Due = 07/31/2022
This Loan was originally incurred on 03/18/2020 and has been restructured Line of credit =$6,000,000.00
Yet the NRSC’s current filing shows a loan balance of $9,000,000.00
REX and JEANNE SINQUEFIELD
This isn’t about shaming donors, well maybe just a little. On a consistent basis I see a lot of mainstream reporters digging into the Companies, Conglomerates and special interest groups. Candidly there’s nothing wrong with educating the electorate, disclosing which Corporations/Organizations are pouring money into which candidate’s coffers. Sadly that is how/what/why/when/who our Political System is set up. Money talks and money grants you access.
Notwithstanding I do think it is long over due to focus on “individuals donors” - to be clear the Federal Election Commission (FEC) Reports are public information. Conversely I am not at all comfortable with putting out personal identifiable information on individuals. Given my consistent hardline of anti-doxing. Largely born from first hand experience. If you’re ever been doxed5 6then you’ll understand my position of “out of an abundance of caution” approach.7
With that said yes FEC records are a matter of public information but (again) out of an abundance of caution I ran a report on donations made by the SINQUEFIELDs - Rex’s LinkedIn Public Profile, found here - based on preliminary research, the SINQUEFIELDs are clearly philanthropist and they’ve collectively donated tens of millions of dollars to some worthy causes8 9 10 Again I’m attempting to be as agnostic as possible - attempting to solely bring you verifiable facts. I pulled their FEC report, which you can find on my public drive
For now I think you have a decent primer of what will be discussed in future articles. And clearly I have only scratched the first layer of a multilayered issue. The more I researched the more I realized dozens of big banks and Wall St shops are large NRSC donors and now the question should be - are you still donating to the NSRC after the Senate Republicans voted to acquit Trump. If so, please explain your reasoning. Part 1 found here.

To be fair the Republicans in the house did a few gain seats.

Having deranged stalkers create a twitter profiles with unauthorized picture of our children, yourself, your spouse and/or dox members of your extended family because <insert trolls name> Many states have laws against such abhorrent behavior. For example; VA §18.2-186.4. Use of a person's identity with the intent to coerce, intimidate, or harass; penalty. or DC § 22–3133. Stalking or Florida Statute §784.048 (2), CA Penal Code §646.9 & §653m or MI Penal Code §750.411s
Being doxed is a cyber crime, as is cyber stalking and engaging in harassment. When the Violence Against Women Act was reauthorized and codified into PUBLIC LAW 113–4—MAR. 7, 2013 lawmakers added “stalking, cyber-stalking and harassment”
