BREAKING: CNN's Kaitlan Collins confronts J.D. Vance about Trump's $1.8 billion "slush fund" for January 6ers and child molesters — and his response was disgusting.
This is going to haunt him in 2028...
"You previously told me that anyone who assaulted a police officer on January 6th should go to prison," said Collins. "So why not rule out giving them taxpayer-funded money?"
"Well, Kaitlan, what I said is we're going to look at everything case by case," replied Vance. "Because Kaitlan, there are people who I don't know their individual circumstances, and I don't rule things out categorically when I know nothing about a person's individual circumstances."
Of course, the Vice President of the United States of America should be able to "categorically" rule out payments to violent insurrectionists who assaulted law enforcement officers. But Vance would never dare disagree with his cult leader, no matter how illegal or immoral the matter at hand.
"Let's say a person is accused, let's just say hypothetically, a person is accused of doing something that they never actually did, that they got a kangaroo court, that they had a judge who mistreated them," said Vance. "I think that we should look at those things case by case. We're not making commitments to give anybody money. We're just making commitments to look at things case by case."
The assertion that there were "kangaroo courts" targeting the brave "patriots" who stormed the Capitol on January 6th is a lie that may play well with the Republican base but Vance and his co-conspirators will have a hard time selling that to the American public.
Every single one of us should be outraged. Trump's Justice Department is moving ahead with a $1.776 billion slush fund, siphoned off from taxpayer money, that will be disseminated amongst MAGA loyalists who were "targeted" by the Biden administration.
Attorney General Todd Blanche has refused to rule out the possibility that some of the slush money will go to sex offenders like Andrew Paul Johnson, a January 6th insurrectionist who was pardoned by Trump. After he was released, Johnson went on to molest two middle-school aged children. He then tried to buy their silence by telling them that he'd give them some of the restitution money that Trump was inevitably going to give him.
And that's just one example. Trump's mass pardon freed rapists, pedophiles, and all manner of violent criminals. Some have since been arrested and imprisoned for new crimes, others are still walking the streets free. All of them are expecting a payday.
J.D. Vance will run for President one day. When he does, we'll remind America that he supported reparations for child molesters while hard-working, law-abiding citizens were struggling to just afford groceries and gas.
Please ❤️ and share if you staunchly oppose the slush fund!
@OurShallowState America is sliding into moral decay. We no longer stand for truth, justice, and the American way. We now celebrate people who lie. We worship greed and self-interest, and we wallow in racial hate like a pig in shit. Why are Americans so eager to abandon the moral high ground?
BREAKING: Trump’s birthright citizenship scheme implodes after lawyer’s JAW-DROPPING courtroom blunder about Native Americans.
Donald Trump sent his top lawyer to the Supreme Court to argue that birthright citizenship should be stripped from hundreds of thousands of American-born babies. It went so badly that his own solicitor general nearly argued Native Americans aren't citizens either — and had to be rescued by a Trump-appointed justice.
In one of the most jaw-dropping exchanges of Wednesday's already disastrous hearing, Justice Neil Gorsuch — appointed by Trump himself — pressed Solicitor General D. John Sauer on the logical consequences of the administration's own legal theory. The exchange was as stunning as it was revealing.
Gorsuch asked a simple question: under the administration's proposed test for birthright citizenship, are Native Americans born today automatically citizens?
Sauer's answer was a slow-motion legal train wreck. First, he said yes — obviously. Then Gorsuch pushed him to set aside the statutes granting Native Americans citizenship and answer based purely on the administration's own constitutional theory. Sauer's answer changed: "No." Under the 1868 congressional debates, he explained, children of tribal Indians were not considered birthright citizens.
The courtroom went quiet.
Gorsuch pressed harder. But under your test — the domicile test you want this court to adopt today — are tribal Native Americans born on U.S. soil birthright citizens?
Sauer fumbled. "I think so... I have to think that through, but that's my reaction."
"I'll take the yes," Gorsuch replied — essentially throwing the solicitor general a life preserver before he could drown any further.
Let's be absolutely clear about what just happened. The Trump administration walked into the highest court in the land with a legal theory so sweeping, so poorly thought through, that when a justice applied it logically, the government's own lawyer couldn't guarantee that Native Americans — people whose nations existed on this continent thousands of years before the United States did — would qualify as birthright citizens.
This is the constitutional chaos that Trump's executive order invites. Once you start unraveling the 14th Amendment's guarantee that all persons born on American soil are citizens, there is no clean stopping point. The administration's own lawyer proved that in real time, in front of the entire nation, while Trump was still in the building — before he turned tail and fled.
The 14th Amendment was written to be clear precisely because America had already lived through the horror of deciding that some people born here weren't really citizens. The Supreme Court has upheld birthright citizenship for 157 years.
And Trump's lawyer just demonstrated, in spectacular fashion, exactly why those 157 years of precedent exist.

Bruce Springsteen on Trump: “I couldn't care less what he thinks about me. He's the living personification of what the 25th Amendment and impeachment were for. If Congress had any guts, he'd be consigned to the trash heap of history."
