The thought of tax dollars going to pay out Jan 6 victim wannabes when gas has jumped 30 cents in my area is really pissing us off! The timing of this reeks of 🐎💩 too. Are they paving the road to how to behave the next time these cry babies don’t get what they want *ahem* in 2028?🧐

Learn about the new Anti-Weoponization
Fund: The Justice Department just announced a new $1.776 Billion Anti-Weaponization Fund...
What does this mean?

Acting Attorney General, Todd Blanche, wouldn't rule out payments to Jan. 6*insurrectionists or Trump allies. Blanche previously served as Trump's personal attorney. The DOJ will control the overseeing commission. It is unclear if the DOJ will release the reports it will receive on who is paid from the fund.
