Remember: it was like pulling teeth to get Republicans to fund the 9/11 Victim Compensation Fund.
But it took them no time at all to create a $1.8 billion Insurrection Slush Fund to pay off the legal fees of the January 6th rioters who beat cops.
These are sick, corrupt people.
I pay my taxes.
You pay YOUR taxes.
If we don't pay our taxes, its simple: You get fined, or you go to jail.
Unless you name is trump: He, and his family, were somehow just given blanket pardons for any and all tax crimes -- past, present or future.
THIS IS A HUGE SCANDAL.
I thought trump originally claimed all those January sixers were Antifa and FBI and not his supporters. Weird then how he’s taking our tax dollars to pay them now. 🤔
@Eagles@Ticketmaster I will celebrate my 30th wedding anniversary on 9/28 of this year and it was my husband who introduced me to my beloved Eagles (he has been a fan since he was a kid). I live in Illinois and I hope I get to celebrate my anniversary with my Birds in Chicago….E-A-G-L-E-S, Eagles🦅
Kinda fucking wild hearing Dr. Oz complain that Americans are “under-babied” in a country where we get no paid maternity leave and can barely afford groceries, rent, childcare, housing, or healthcare. These people are completely detached from reality.
When 11-year old Ahmir Jolliff was murdered on the first day of sixth grade Trump said, "it’s just horrible... but we have to get over it. We have to move forward."
So fuck him and his stupid ballroom. Let's get over it.
So then why did Trump pardon these people for tax-related crimes?
Todd Chrisley – Tax evasion
Julie Chrisley – Tax evasion
Michael Grimm – Tax fraud
Paul Manafort – Tax fraud
Darryl Strawberry – Tax evasion
Albert Pirro – Tax evasion
Paul Walczak – Payroll tax fraud
Bernard Kerik – Tax fraud
Paul Pogue – False tax returns
Joseph Schwartz – Tax fraud
OMG, SHUT DOWN DOGE:
A DOGE official in his 20s testified today that he canceled federal research grants based on personal judgment.
No peer review. No subject matter expertise. No formal process.
Just him. And books he had read.
He flagged a grant studying HIV in prisons during the Reagan and Clinton era — decades of academic research — as “one of the craziest” because it mentioned LGBTQ in the description.
He flagged a grant examining the military service experiences of Black, Native American, female, and immigrant veterans as crazy.
His qualification for making these calls: “A person can have enough judgment from reading books.”
He was then asked if he regretted cutting programs that may have led to people dying.
“No.”
Did DOGE reduce the deficit?
“No.”
A person in their 20s. Reading books. Canceling peer-reviewed academic research. Deciding what knowledge the American government is allowed to fund.
No experience. No regret. No results.
Under oath.
