the January 6 rioters are about to get millions, and We the People can go fuck ourselves

why do we even have laws, if some shithead gets to ignore them?

sometimes, the news is so goddamned infuriating that you just want to scream.

hey, remember those assholes who — at the behest of Preznit Fuckwit — went ape-shit on January 6, running wild through the halls of Congress, using flagpoles and fire extinguishers to bludgeon cops, smearing literal shit on the walls, trying to hang Mike Pence, and doing everything they could to attempt to overturn a free and fair election, all because Dear Leader was mad about being a losing loser who lost?

I’m talking about these lawless fucksticks.

remember them? get ready to have your head explode, because they’re all about to become wealthy beyond their wildest dreams.

The Trump administration announced on Monday the creation of a $1.8 billion fund to compensate those who claim they were targeted by the Biden Justice Department and Democrats, forging a pipeline to funnel taxpayer money to President Trump’s allies.

The fund was announced shortly after Mr. Trump withdrew his lawsuit against the Internal Revenue Service demanding at least $10 billion in damages for the unauthorized disclosure of his tax information.

you know, there’s corruption and there’s holy fucking shit corruption.

the fuckwaddery that Donny perpetrated yesterday falls squarely into that latter category. this is right up there with Tom Homan and his brazen bags of cash. no, wait — actually, it’s far more blatant.

this ‘deal’ is being framed in the press as a ‘settlement’ of Donny’s lawsuit against the IRS — but it’s not. ‘settlements’ have to be approved by judges. this one wasn’t. it all happened outside of our system of justice.

basically what happened is that Donny phoned up Todd Blanche — the Acting Attorney General who is apparently under the impression that he’s still Donny’s personal lawyer — and said ‘give me money,’ and Todd was all ‘how much?’

$1.776 billion. that’s what Donny asked for, and that’s how much he’s getting, to give away to whoever he sees fit. why $1.776? because apparently Donny thinks it’s super fucking hilarious to make everything a callback to the American revolution. what a slap in the face to our founders, who rebelled against this whole I’m-a-king-so-I-can-do-anything-I-want shit.

$1.776 billion is a clownfuckingly enormous amount of money. it’s enough to give every January 6th insurrectionist a million dollars, with shitloads of cash left over for Donny to jam into his own greedy pockets.

once again, Dear Leader is getting away with doing whatever the fuck he wants, laws be damned. there’s no existing legal framework that allows a president to just demand money from his own government, and be given it.

tell me, why do we even have laws, if some complete fuckhead gets to ignore them?

these are impeachable acts — but don’t expect the Republicans in Congress to do anything. in fact, I can’t wait for some reporter to ask Holy Mike Johnson about it, so he can make weak mewling noises about how ‘I really don’t know anything, this is the first I’m hearing about it.’

I can’t get enough of that shit.

so now Donny is sitting on his own ginormous personal slush fund, to disburse as he see fit — and he’s going to bestow a shitload of cash on the scumbuckets who did January 6, because fuck you, that’s why.

reporter: “the Department of Justice has this new fund — $1.7 billion. Why should taxpayers pay for the January 6ers?”

Donny: “this is reimbursing people that were horribly treated, horribly treated. it’s anti-weaponization.”

oh please — fuck all the way off with this horse shit. the Jan Sixers weren’t ‘horribly treated.’ they got what they deserved, for breaking the law and trying to overturn an election, destroying lives and property in the process.

but Donny’s going to shower these insurrectionists with cash, because they broke the law for him — and in his fucked-up mob-boss worldview, loyalty is more important than any stupid law.

so, who exactly is eligible to receive money from this fun fund full of slush, and who gets to decide how much? can Donny put himself on the list? what about Don Jr. and Eric? can they come running with their hands out, claiming that Sleepy Joe treated them so unfairly?

fuck you for even asking. as usual, Donny and his flunkies are keeping their greedy machinations as opaque as possible.

“There’s no transparency. The five members of the fund appear to have total discretion to award money to whomever they choose. There does not appear to be any oversight mechanism,” [former DOJ pardon attorney] Liz Oyer said, adding, “There’s no process for public input. It appears that these five people have complete discretion to give away our money to whomever they choose.”

oh, and the families of the Capitol Police officers? they can go fuck themselves, too.

The families of the Capitol Police officers who were beaten or killed as a result of the riot did not receive a cent but the people who assaulted them are about to be millionaires.

hey, you know who else set up a slush fund in order to enrich themselves and the violent thugs who did their bidding? of course you do.

June 1, 1933: The “Fund of German Trade and Industry” is created, a huge slush fund administered by Martin Bormann in the Führer’s name. The regime used the funds to compensate SA Stormtroopers who committed street violence, subsidize the SS, and enrich Nazi party officials.

once again, none of this is normal. never before has any president made this much of a mockery of our government. in fact, I’m so old, I remember when Jimmy Carter was forced to sell his peanut farm, just so there wouldn’t even be the appearance of impropriety.

fast forward fifty years, and now it’s apparently okay to for a president to just demand money from his own government, and get it. it’s thievery and corruption of the highest order.

yet look how the worthless scribblers are framing it — as an ‘unusual deal.’

fuck you very much, Washington Post. it’s an ‘unusual deal’ much in the same way that what the terrorists did on the morning of 9/11 was an ‘unusual flight path.’

stop normalizing this shit.

here’s the other ace bit of dumbfuckery from yesterday. remember Donny’s most recent threat to completely fuck Iran’s shit?

“For Iran, the Clock is Ticking, and they better get moving, FAST, or there won’t be anything left of them. TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE! President DJT”

yeah, well guess what — the clock just stopped ticking.

oh look, Grandpa Crazypants is conducting high-level diplomatic negotiations via social media again.

so no attack, then — because we’re back to having ‘serious negotiations.’ just like that, out of the clear blue?

is any of this true? who the fuck knows? did Donny really talk to the Emir of Qatar, and Mohammad Bone Saw — or was he simply communing with the unceasing shrieking noises inside his own head again? again, who the fuck knows?

this is the problem with having a president who is bugfuck nuts — we have no way of knowing what’s real and what’s not.

none of this is normal, and all of it is insane.

ugh. quick, let’s have some Daily Claudia.

that’s Ms. Spouse on the right, standing behind her sister and brother. on the left are three random cousins. Claudia’s about 12 or 13 in this photo, so that would date it from 1962 or 1963.

now let’s fast-forward a few decades. this one’s from Oct 19, 2003, during a Cape Cod vacation — and if you look in the reflection in the mirror, there’s Katie.

here’s your daily reminder that I can be found on Blue Sky at this link.

this is going to be my closing message for the foreseeable future:

practice self-care. do what you need to do to keep sane. if that means you need to disengage with my daily posts for a while, I get it. this community of ours will still be here when you return.

to all the people who have signed on in the days since the election, welcome aboard. settle in as we all try to deal with the shitfuckery that’s ahead of us.

we are all in this together, and we are all here for each other.
