It is important to understand that after a case is formally dismissed, there’s nothing left to settle. Blanche announced the “anti-weaponization fund” to “settle” a case that had already been dismissed on his request. The court did not approve the ‘settlement,’ having never acceded to jurisdiction over the claim in the first place.
The $1.776 billion “resolution” was not authorized by any statute either. Blanche claims that 31 U.S.C. § 1304 authorizes it, but the Judgment Fund is statutorily limited to paying legal settlements and judgments against the United States, which this was not, because there 1. was no case in controversy, 2. no jurisdiction, 3. the complaint was dismissed with prejudice, 4. there was no judgment, and 5. no “settlement” was approved by any court.
The $1.8 billion fund is wholly untethered from the law or the ruse of a case Trump filed, and is, in reality, Blanche’s own legal invention to hold open the treasury cookie jar while Trump dug deep.
Your explanation seems sound. So, how did it happen? Has that money actually gone to the Trump extended entity or is this just an exclamation without substance that's it's now actually out of the Treasury and into nefarious pockets.
None of us could filch so much as a candy bar from the check-out line without being observed on camera and hauled off in handcuffs by cops. Those cops and cameras need to be turned around to capture the white wealthy criminals who are thousands of times more larcenous and destructive of the social fabric, yet skate away without jail time, and sometimes not even a fine.
Every Friday, since BB and Don started this insane war. Donnie would make a pronouncement on Friday that the war was over, that victory had been won, that Iran had capitulated and just minutes before his pronouncement, there wold be a surge in the futures market for oil, one or two traders, unknown, and then come Monday we would learn that Iran had rejected the claim, had established a toll booth at the strait of Hormuz, had attacked a ship that had tried to use the normal traffic lanes. And the market wold go up again, until the next Friday, wash,rinse, repeat.
The futures market is like Polymarket, except in Polymarket you can bet on anything, in the futures market you can only bet on commodities.
The beneficiaries of this insider trading can only be the Trump family, Trump himself and his sons.
Actually fingers point to Barron, now at 20 he is worth over $150 million.
Everything POSOTUS has done he has done with the active or tacit support of a corrupt Repugnican Party, and equally (if not more) corrupt Supreme Court, and a flaccid, derelict corporate media. If any of these actors are to be held accountable, we must overwhelm the spineless corporate Democrats and their overpaid, underskilled consultants, and elect and support skilled, courageous, committed Congress people; “moderation” won’t cut it. We have an abundance of talented people ready to rock. Let ‘em.
The Hitler metaphor seems too accurate. Because Trump 2.0 is staffed entirely with incompetent sycophants, Trump cannot help but fail. There is nobody to alert him to unintended negative consequences should he act on his impulses - like triggering a global recession if he invades Iran, or lose votes if he says X, Y, or Z.
I think Trump is moving "quicklier" these days because he realizes that if he loses control of both houses, he will be impeached. What his nincompoop lawyers do not seem to grasp is that many of these legal rulings, like his IRS get-out-of-tax scam, can be invalidated as part of a criminal scheme, and he and his entire crime family can spend the rest of their lives in a room without gold plating.
At some point in the future, Americans need to do some serious soul-searching to explain why they elected a failed president a 2nd time. Why did they elect a man who was known to be close friends with many of America's enemies, like Putin? Why did they rationalize their vote that he was a businessman when he was known to have had numerous bankruptcies? Why believe he was a devout Christian when it was widely known that he never set foot in a church, was known to be a philanderer who viewed all women as whores with his "Grab em by the pussy" remark, and serial wives. Yet he was endorsed by scads of evangelical so-called Christian pastors. What is wrong with us?
There is also grand theft going on concerning the One Big Bogus Bill. The group More Perfect Union just did a piece on the way TRump's friends are cashing-in by charging the taxpayers exorbitant amounts for the ICE warehouses the government purchased. It is titled: We Tracked Down Who's Getting Rich Off ICE Warehouse Deals
About that tax fraud. So what's to keep all of the billionaires in this country from doing the same thing? Make a phoney law suit, buy a judge to find in your favor & never have to pay taxes again either individually or corporately. Then they could fire all those accountants they need to manipulate their books & can add the cost to their income & not have to worry about taxes ever again. I mean isn't that the way it's meant to be.
If Trump, like Hitler, were to turn the blame on his followers, do you think he would ever turn on Kushner and Junior for ruining his negotiations with Iran?
Why would trump risk losing power by letting midterms happen? Frankly, I find it hard to believe he's going to give up the gravy train by letting us vote. All he has to do is a presidential act as construed by the Supreme Court and presto declare no elections be held. Or if held and he doesn't like the results, declare them invalid for whatever reason. The idea that he's stealing as much money as he can before going quietly into the night doesn't fit his mental sickness in my opinion.

Trump is a thief. We hear evidence everyday.But his Injustice Dept will never investigate or prosecute.
They are tethered to Trumps evil.
I understand why the AG of New York State would shy away from attempting prosecution.
However it is her job, and it needs to happen.
Everyone in politics is afraid to step on Trumps toes.
However, the only reasonable thing to do is to pursue the truth anyway.
It’s called integrity. We need a lot more of it. Without any apology.

Tax the shit out of him!
Thanks to presidential acts as construed by the Supreme Court and Todd Blanche granting the ending of tax fraud investigations of the Trumps ...
Fuel to the fire, Trump via t The Commodity Futures Trading Commission is suing multiple states for trying to rein in Polymarket and Kalshi..
Any guesses why? Because it the suits are interfering with the Trump family business.
Donald, i.e., Dumb-Bald told Blacks they had nothing to lose, that was/is/will be a Big Lie, as per usual. But . . .
Who really has nada to lose is Dumb-Bald himself.
As Sid Hutchins [Danny DeVito] says in "L.A. Confidential" . . .
“He’s on the night train to the big adios."
So, think about it: What's the jackass got to lose?
Dumb-Bald's motto? From a 60s-70s ad: a Schlitz beer commercial.
“You only go around once in life, so you have to grab for all the gusto you can get.”
For gusto substitute "M-o-n-e-y." Or "P-*-s-s-y" esp., kiddies'.

On this Memorial Day remember the fallen and loved ones lost, remember their good deeds. Keep working to honor them, friends. See you in the streets.
