Anyone else thinking this is what he’s going to use to pay his Gestapo once Congress finally cuts them off? Surely I’m just suffering from TDS here, right?
You’re completely delusional. Once he got his tiny hands on that money it would never see a pocket other than his. Anyway, I’m sure that there are more than a few that would be happy to continue doing the job without pay, as long as they can keep swaggering around in their jackboots.
I hope you’re right. It doesn’t help that I gamed out that asshole getting a third term about a month ago, and one of the court decisions needed for my theory to work came to pass this past week (with Justice Brown-Jackson explicitly calling out the loophole that’s needed).
I just can’t help but thinking that keeping his ass out of jail may be one of the few things he’d spend this money on.
