      What happened to the entire concept of separation of powers?

      Oh that’s right, the GOP has decided to wipe their ass with the Constitution and let Trump do whatever he wants.

      Congress will not do anything about this. Maybe a judge will, and it’ll kick back and forth up the court ladder, but I have my doubts if it makes it to Supreme Court they will stop Trump.

      It’s almost incomprehensible how far we have fallen as a country the past 16 months. Law enforcement suing to prevent the people who attacked them from getting paid by the President.

      Only true victims deserve compensation, and the victims were the ones protecting the Capital. They are the only victims.

      I’m as far from a bootlicker as one can get without being an outright anarchistic sovereign citizen libertarian jerkwad. I lean left but I’ve learned to dislike cops from experience. But civil order exists for good reason at the end of the day. That said. Those cops were actually doing their jobs for the most part and deserve credit for their bravery where it’s due. The idea of creating a slush fund for the anarchistic sovereign citizen jerkwad magats who attacked them is absolutely beyond madness. Trump wants to give his most violent supporters a blank check with a wink and a nod.

      Majority if not all of the funding will go to Donald Trump’s pocket. 100%

      The dumb Jan 6 MAGA house robbers have been used again by Trump to enrich himself more.

      The scariest part is that Trump can use the fund to pay people for insurrectionist acts. This is truly the worst thing I’ve heard about!!

      Follow the money. Officers blocking payouts signals deeper financial and legal leverage at play.

      There’s zero chance he’s doing this out of the goodness in his heart for horrible people. There’s a catch. They probably have to buy weapons and have promised to defend the capital next election.

      Imagine doing your job, your duty, to protecting and saving the lives of VIPs against a rioting mob. You’re beaten, traumatized, and accused of being in a political conspiracy.

      Now the people who were trying to literally kill some politicians were called ‘patriots’ years after the event. They get pardoned. Now, they’re about to make money from it.
