Republican primary voters could care less that a handful of wingnut billionaires want someone other that Trump to win the Republican nomination.

Didn’t ya take no civics classes?!?! This is how government is supposed to work:
A bloc of hard-right Republicans released a memo threatening to shut down the government unless the Department of Justice stops its probe of former president Donald Trump.
The House Freedom Caucus released a memo stating their official position as the House begins its negotiations for spending. The US government will run out of money on 30 September.

Hey Court, good luck with that.
A judge signed off on a $200,000 bond for former President Trump in the Georgia election case, enacting stricter rules than his co-defendants, on Monday, according to court filings.
The order forbids Trump from intimidating any co-defendants or witnesses in the case as he awaits trial.

I, for one, blame our extremely shitty for profit health insurance system. I didn’t read for enought in to see if the Delaware News Journal’s Krys’tal Griffin made the same point.
Need to visit an emergency room in Delaware? Well, get cozy. Delaware has one of the longest emergency room waiting times in the country.
Delaware is the state with the second longest emergency room waiting time in the nation, according to a study conducted by medical expert Med.ro that compiled data from Johns Hopkins Medicine, Centers for Medicare & Medicaid services, KFF and Definite Healthcare.
The study defines the average waiting time as the time it takes for a patient to be called for treatment after arriving at the emergency room.

Trump hanging his co-conspirators out to dry means that thinks he will win all of his cases on appeal in the Supreme Court. And that’s actually probably a reasonable presumption.
Trump ripping off contractors and the like has no downside for him because it would cost the marks more money to try to get and obtain a civil judgment than they would be owed. In this case, the co-conspirators do have some leverage: they can turn state’s. So presumably 1)thinks his traditional immunity will allow him to get off again no matter what or 2)omerta will prevail even if he stiffs his lickspittles. He may even be right, but this may not prove to be enlightened self-interest.
