This is a dark day in American history.
Republicans used to be against pedophilia, and they used to claim they respect the constitution:
"...another example of regime officials blaming others for what they, themselves, are doing as Trump’s appointees try to manufacture criminal cases against those Trump considers his enemies."
"As political scientist Jonathan Ladd noted, the Fourteenth Amendment to the Constitution prohibits compensation for those who engaged in insurrection. It says that “neither the United States nor any State shall assume or pay any debt or obligation incurred in aid of insurrection or rebellion against the United States…, but all such debts, obligations and claims shall be held illegal and void.” In his comments to Sargent, Raskin noted that if the fund pays off the January 6 rioters, the government will be doing precisely that: “using federal taxpayer dollars to compensate people who participated in insurrection.”"
They should not release the funds, and just fuck them about, get their hopes up, and then just delay and mess them about.
Trump lies and distorts, so I think the IRS should lie and distort. The case was dropped in court, and this "agreement" by the IRS isn't even compelled. The court was going to dismiss the case anyway. This is basically Trump stealing from the American people, suing his own administration in the public trust.
It's another manufactured liberal tears drinking. Never mind that it's not going to happen, it's illegal and will be paid for in the midterms and in history.
"Senator Chris Van Hollen (D-MD) noted that “an individual who after being pardoned by the president went on to molest two children, and that person actually tried to buy the silence of these children by saying that he would pay them some of the funds that he was hoping to get from your slush fund. Can you commit to making the rule so that that person is not eligible for a payout under this fund?” Blanche accused Van Hollen of “obviously lying” because no such fund existed until yesterday."
It's the pedo cover up fund. How the fuck is this happening in America?
This regime has got to go. In Bolivia they're striking to replace the president. Why don't we strike until Trump is gone?
This is just an outgrowth of not holding Trump accountable for January 6th. He paid for people to travel and stay in hotels (one cite, two).
He's got to be pretty confident he can hijack the midterms to do stuff like this. His whole thing is push until you're stopped, and he's begging America to stop him.
The great thing about a tinpot authoritarian is that he's not setting laws into stone, his influence will be gone soon enough, and we'll evolve like Germany and Spain, to hate authoritarians. Right?
