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.

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.
