How does Trump benefit from this? He is not getting any monetary settlement from this. He could have actually sued for a lot more.

He could have sued for a lot more and lost.

The parents at the PTA meetings raising objections to what is being taught to their children in school. Those same parents had the Biden FBI anal probe them as being domestic terrorist.

That was an outrage committed by the Biden administration. And we have means of redress under the law.

This method creates a kitty for Trump to reward his supporters. That’s an awful precedent. Our government was not set up for the executive department to judge and redress grievances; that is supposed to be the judicial department. So instead of a non-partisan judicial approach, Trump has orchestrated a partisan fueled payoff of his supporters.

You left out the part about Trump and his family getting a pass on ever being investigated by the IRS for life. That is what is slimy and pissing so many people off.


You mean the part that’s false?

Wrong. This pot enables rightful restitution to former political prisoners. A wholly appropriate response to the J6 Democrat conspired Fedsurrection, designed to cover the 2020 stolen election.

The DNC/MSM driven narrative on J6 has unraveled. Try to keep up.

I hate them so much. They only care about enriching themselves. Nevermind all of the working families that have been harassed by the IRS.

Our government was not set up for the executive department to judge and redress grievances; that is supposed to be the judicial department.


But it is in certain instances like this one. Congress gave the DOJ the power to award settlements against the government in 1956 with the judgment fund act. Congress amended it in 1977 to remove the monitary caps of $100k. This falls directly under that act. Read up on the 8 years of Obama and see how many times it was used and for how ridiculous it was awarded too. The same for bidens years. His last act while in office was to get $20b awarded to left leaning causes. 1 being $6b to Stacy abrams foundation to get eco friendly refrigerators to those who need it. How many refrigerators do you think they actually issued out?

You forgot to add sexist, racist, fascist, homophobic, Islamophobic, and a threat to democracy. Might as get all the usual talking points in one post.

You must only get your news from FOX or don't know how to use google, this is being reported by many sources, and I have seen a few congressmen speaking about it as well.

No, no you simply don’t understand. Things that are reported that aren’t flattering for Donald are referred to as “fake news.” Hope this helps.
