Fort Worth’s long-awaited Panther Island could soon see its first major development project. A proposed $100 million mixed-use development would bring new housing, retail and public improvements. Learn more: https://t.co/TWdEQCSL05
Two quick caveats first: 1) I don't assume that my opinion influences politicians, and 2) I almost never have hard-core litmus tests of the "If they vote this way then I simply won't support them" type because there is room for honest disagreement on many issues and because politicians are imperfect and have competing interests and pressures.
BUT, I will never support a politician who overtly supports (which is not the same as not condemning, though that would be better) the Trump "anti-weaponization" slush fund combined with the DOJ granting Trump, his family, and his friends and all their businesses a get-out-of-jail-free card for any previous crimes related to their taxes and maybe, depending on interpretation, on any crimes or civil violations of any sort.
This is the single most corrupt thing I've seen from the federal government in years, and maybe in my lifetime, as far as an official government policy. Usually, if they're going to do something that corrupt, they hide it and it's found out later. Like Watergate, for example.
In a sense, this is worse than Watergate because of the precedent it would set if allowed to stand.
So, again, without thinking I'm influencing anyone so I may just be shouting into a tornado, I will look for opportunities to support primary challengers to any Republican who expressly supports this particular Trump corruption (as @ByronDonalds did on @CNN earlier today.)
