Ya know, I didn’t think it could get much worse than a ballroom.
Using OUR taxpayer dollars for a G-D ballroom when people can’t afford gas or groceries is Marie Antoinette-level egregious, but I think this may just take the cake.
Now we have a president who sued his own IRS, then negotiated a deal with his own DOJ and dropped the charges, but only on the condition that they NEVER investigate ANY tax claims related to him, his family, or his businesses up to the date of the settlement. Lest we forget, this is the same guy who was convicted on 34 counts of falsifying business records. But hey, nothing to see here!
Oh—the attorney general who oversaw this entire charade? Just the president’s former personal lawyer. Totally unbiased and nonpartisan. 🙄
As part of this deal, the president also gets a formal apology from the United States for hurting his feelings ANDDDDD—*drumroll please*—a $1.776 BILLION slush fund for victims of “lawfare,” aka, allies and loyalists, including but not limited to the darling insurrectionists who stormed the Capitol on January 6, 2021.
How patriotic.
Roughly 1600 people faced federal charges for their involvement on January 6th. If every one of those people files a claim, that amounts to what?
Only a smooth $1.1 MILLION per person.
For some perspective, wanna know how much the federal government pays in a death gratuity for service members who die on active duty?
$100,000.
So you’re telling me the people who sh*t all over the Constitution (literally, they spread feces all over the Capitol building) are rightfully entitled to TEN TIMES the compensation allotted for service members who sacrificed their LIVES defending the same Constitution??
Raise your hand if, instead of ballrooms, and shady deals, and AI data centers, and tax cuts for billionaires, and senseless wars, and million-dollar immigration ad campaigns with horses and make-up, and road trip reality shows, and private scuba excursions in Hawaii, and locker room Olympic parties, and steak and lobster for cabinet members . . .
You want YOUR hard-earned tax dollars to go to healthcare, national parks, cancer research, science, clean air and water, food for the hungry, veterans, education, mental health initiatives, social safety nets, and more amazing NASA moon missions.
And raise your hand if you are sick and tired of the most corrupt, incompetent, nepotistic people in this country getting to make the choice for you. WINNING.
