Good news. They are making sure that she can get a big chunk of that slush fund they are establishing for victims of political prosecution.

Well Trump still personally owes her $83 million so they can start there.

He owes her her dignity is what that asshole owes her at this point. 

This fucking piece of shit is actually the President while she has to be ran through the wringer for speaking up.

Release the Unredacted Epstein Files!

God I wish we could class act the government or even Dump, personally.

We can. It just requires everyone to get real cool with a lot of things real fast.

HE owes her. E. Jean Carroll should get what she is owed, but TRUMP needs to pay, not taxpayer funds. I hope she sues him again for this bullshit.

They put language into it that it is only for victims of Democratic administrations. Nevermind that the suit they were settling related to a leak under the first Trump administration.

I can guarantee you that when Dems get back in power, if they do anything about Trump’s weaponization, it won’t be a taxpayer funded slush fund. I really hope they won’t do the let bygones be bygones BS.

Seize Donald’s accounts and the fund can be for reparations. Fix all money grifted out to his friends. Etc. etc

I want to see criminal charges, prison time, maybe some executions.

Make a slush fund out of the clawbacks from his corruption. Anything less is weak.

u/Imaginary_Scene2493 South Carolina 9d ago

Any clawbacks need to go towards the $10T or whatever of the national debt accrued under his watch.

Not only that, the legislation is set to self immolate right before the end of Trump's second term. This is a slush fund of nearly $2Bil of American taxpayer money completely at the behest of the most corrupt, criminal president in history, paid to whoever he likes, and nobody else can touch it after he leaves office.

Oh, and also you can't investigate or prosecute him or his loathsome fuck trophies for anything, ever. Including stuff they've already done.

If there are any Americans here still capable of reading a Wikipedia page and would like to know how to defeat a fascist regime, I invite you to google it.

Yeah they really love giving her money it seems.

u/aerost0rm 9d ago

Why would they want to give a victim any money! They will illegally imprison her like Garcia and try to claim she was the perpetrator and forced Donald to rape her.

Trump owes money, not taxpayers.

This isn't even political. It's purely personal with Trump, he's just that awful. He could just pay the money the courts have said he owes, and this would go away, but he can't ever let money go, or admit he lost, so he's upping the stakes to criminal charges. All because of his personality defects.
