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

I am very pleased to be MAGA and quash peanuts like you. You have no clue what a fascist is. I do not like Trump on many things. But that is not his job, to make me like him, his job is to manage the executive branch and not work for Democrats who hate his guts.

You are too old now for your brain to work adequately.

Yes, Trump has the attributes of a Fascist leader.

 

[jacksonlamb]

The justice department did it, not Trump.

It can and will be overturned by Congress. Thune and Johnson have been told so by their chambers. This is over.

 

[Robert W]

They have to OK it. Trump cannot do it as an EO. He does not have the authority.

It was not an EO at all. The judgement fund is self-managed.

It was not an EO at all. The judgement fund is self-managed.

It can be stopped easily. It is not autonomous.

How old are you? I see your brain keeps trying yet makes no progress. Trump can't be a fascist leader.

 

[Robert W]

It can be stopped easily. It is not autonomous.

Your brain is not functioning properly. When you read accurate posts, you deny them though I simply collected the truth for you. Another poster 100 percent agreed with me as well.

 

[Robert W]

It can be stopped easily. It is not autonomous.

On this issue, the committee of 5 control it.

Perhaps you cannot grasp the concept---Congress has already funded the judgment fund. The DOJ already has legal authority to use the judgment fund to settle lawsuits/claims. It has been this way since 1956. Congress has not needed to approve any settlements since then. They are done solely at the discretion of the DOJ and Trump is their boss. If they want to stop him, they are going to have to restrict how the DOJ can use the funds i.e. amend the 1956 law.

 

[Billiejeens]

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.

Here only the Democrats are not held accountable.

 

[Dekster]

Right now they are attempting to use the ICE reconciliation bill to attach amendments to deep six the judgment fund from being used for the $1.776B settlement and the $200+M for the East Wing ballroom. If the dems are successful in attaching the ballroom to the reconciliation vote, then it kills using reconciliation to fund ICE and 60 votes will be needed in the Senate.

The traitor Trump has never been held accountable for anything. You're an even bigger cry baby than he is.
