Funny how the all the people ransacking the Capitol on January 6 were liberals, plants, and ANTIFA—until there was money to be made from it.

This is not “the Justice Department” creating this $1.7 billion slush fund to hand out to Trump’s criminal supporters. It is Trump’s former criminal defense attorney Todd Blanche handing out your tax dollars to Trump’s co-conspirators and thugs.

Trump didn’t just pardon his followers who stormed the U.S. Capitol. He’s now set them up for payments through a slush fund he created to reward his allies—out of your tax dollars. You could not make this up.

I predicted for months that taxpayers were going to end up paying for the ballroom. That’s because Trump had “pledges” from people to contribute money to pay for it, not checks. Now Republicans have the excuse they need to make us pay for it. “Customs duties” is bs. bsky.app/profile/acyn...

The media's insistence that Trump's critics are part of the problem gives cover to false equivalence — treating his lawlessness as one side of a legitimate debate.

This seems significant: not a FORMER DHS official, but a SENIOR (current) one saying the officer who fired acted counter to training. This is not an admin that admits mistakes. And they are hanging this guy out to dry on Day One. I think they know this is bad. Really bad.
The way ICE officers approached the vehicle involved in today's shooting was counter to their training, a senior Department of Homeland Security official told NBC News.

The official said ICE officers are trained:

— never to approach a vehicle from the front;

— to approach vehicles or possibly armed people in a “tactical L” 90-degree angle to prevent injury or cross-fire;

— not to shoot at a moving vehicle;

— only to use force if there is an immediate risk of serious injury or death.

ICE officers are also instructed that firing at a vehicle will not make it stop moving in the direction of the officer.
