Senate Republicans Are Revolting Against Trump's $1.8 Billion "Thug Fund" For The Jan 6 Traitors

[Alicia J]

So Trump and his top cuck.....I mean cop, Todd Blanche...came up with a brilliant idea to provide a $1.776 billion thug fund to all of the poor little Jan 6 traitor "victims" who spent 3 hours that day pummeling the Capitol police half to death and threatening to kill Mike Pence, Nancy Pelosi, and every other member of Congress.

And these Jan 6 traitors also caused millions of dollars in damage to the Capitol, but who cares, right? Meh.

The only problem for Trump and Blanche is that many of the Republican Senators in Congress have finally encountered a Trump idea that is even too stupid for them to vote for.

Apparently, several Republicans read Blanche the riot act in a closed door meeting in Congress today, telling Blanche that they are not going to support a bill that provides millions of dollars to cop beaters and child molesters.

This is how crazy Trump and his pathetic lackeys have become, Ladies & Gentlemen. --

Republicans postponed their plans to pass tens of billions of dollars in additional funding for immigration enforcement agencies Thursday after widespread frustration over a new $1.8 billion “Anti-Weaponization Fund” derailed the bill.

Senate Republicans peppered acting attorney general Todd Blanche with questions about the payout fund during a lunch meeting Thursday, according to two Senate GOP aides familiar with the meeting, including who would be eligible for the money and what guardrails would exist to prevent people convicted of attacking the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, from benefiting.

The two aides, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to describe internal negotiations, said Blanche did not adequately answer those questions. Senate Republicans didn’t feel they could move forward with their funding bill without a plan on how or whether they would address the new fund in the legislation, they said. White House officials “need to help with this issue, because we have a lot of members who are concerned,” Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-South Dakota) told reporters after the meeting.

Republicans had been rushing to finish the legislation before they leave for a week-long Memorial Day recess. President Donald Trump had told lawmakers to complete the funding bill by June 1.

Senators were already going to strike their plans to include in the bill $1 billion for security in the “East Wing Modernization Project,” as the administration refers to Trump’s proposed ballroom and underground renovations, as multiple Republican senators made clear they wouldn’t support it. The bill could lose only three GOP votes and still succeed if all senators were voting.

The administration’s new fund to compensate people who believe they were victims of “weaponization” by the Justice Department was created Monday, when Trump agreed to drop his family’s lawsuit against the IRS in exchange for the creation of the fund and an agreement to bar audits of his, his family’s and his businesses’ past taxes.

Democrats bring frivolous, politically motivated lawsuits, they should be prepared to pay for them.

Is it only for the J6ers or can others who have been wronged by the government in some capacity also pursue a settlement?

Do not become like Canada in which no accountability occurs when government and police officials destroy peoples lives.

Huh? You into the sauce tonight?

Not as badly as you, I fear....since you seem to have lost your mind and agree that cop beaters and child molesters should receive millions of dollars from this MAGA thug fund.

So apparently Democratic Senators plan to make this as embarrassing as humanly possible for the Republican Senators.

For example, Senator van Hollen plans on introducing an amendment prohibiting cop beaters and child molesters from receiving any thug funds.

And Republican Senators will actually have to vote on that amendment! LOL, it will be hilarious!!
