excerpt:

. . . It turns out you don’t have to be a Republican to register a .gop domain. Some top-level domains have rules and restrictions on who is allowed to use them—to register a domain ending in .scot, for example, you must be a member of the Scottish community. But .gop isn’t one of them. It’s open to anyone willing to pay $20 a year for a domain.

The most recent addition in this vein is Putins.GOP, set up last Friday by 63-year-old network engineer and amateur domain prospector Michael Monsport. In an interview with The Daily Beast, Monsport said he’s been grabbing domains for prospective resale since 1996, when he scored “astronaut.com.” Lately he’s been snarfing up domains critical of Trump, whom he dislikes, but it wasn’t until he saw one of the GOPs anti-impeachment ads that he realized he could be erecting anti-Trump sites in the Republicans’ own internet backyard.

“I register names out of anger, irony, and profit,” Monsport said. “I’ve got all sorts of dot-coms, ‘QueensGrifter,’ ‘TrumpsATraitor.’ When Nancy Pelosi said, ‘All roads lead to Putin,’ nobody registered it. So i did…”

“But I didn’t know .gop was available,” Monsport added. “That they administer the domain yet they didn’t buy up all the potentially problematic ones is really odd to me.”

Well of course they don't buy up domain names. They're too busy collecting binders full of women.
