Rep. Andrew Clyde (R-Ga.) is proposing two amendments to an appropriations bill that would defund the various prosecutions of former President Trump.
He is adding to the defense of the former president mounted by Trump allies in the House as they circle the wagons in the face of four indictments.
Clyde, a member of the House Appropriations Committee, on Monday announced plans for two amendments to the Commerce, Justice, Science, and Related Agencies (CJS) fiscal 2024 appropriations bill that would “prohibit the use of federal funding for the prosecution of any major presidential candidate prior to the upcoming presidential election on November 5th, 2024,” according to a press release.
Dems:
- Benghazi This is stupid, but we’ll sit through all these dumb ass hearings and waste money to appease these shitheads
- Hunter Biden This is stupid, but we’ll sit through all these dumb ass hearings and waste money to appease these shitheads
- Whitewater This is stupid, but we’ll sit through all these dumb ass hearings and waste money to appease these shitheads
- And so on …
Republicans:
- Any charge POLITICAL WITCHUNT!! STOP THE PROCESS! OVERTHROW THE GOV’T!!
Lock him too…if Trump is innocent why not get the trial over‽
Shouldn’t these clowns be charged with obstruction of justice?
Exercising regular congressional powers by introducing legislation that cuts funding to a judicial body, regardless of the intent, isn’t obstruction of justice.
When your sole purpose is to use extrajudicial force to subvert justice, how on earth is that not obstruction? Congress doesn’t have unilateral authority to undermine the law for their own gain.
Nakedly corrupt.
Republican proposes legislation that has no chance of passing. More real not fake news at 11.
It sounds like an effort to obstruct justice in furtherance of an indicted criminal enterprise.
How does everyone healthily cope with all this modern day political stuff?
It feels hopeless sometimes… All of it. Cost of living, social divisions, unbelievably unprofessional everything from cops to politicians, safety, mass shootings, education, jobs, jobs that pay, medications, unhealthy-food/water, weather…
I get caught in the loop easily. And in my personal reality, yeah I have it better than a lot of people in this world… But it’s like it doesn’t mean anything because in this culture I feel like …cut off from soul and the essence of what life is.
Revolutionary optimism. The contradictions are intensifying and the system is falling into crisis. We make the world turn, and we will prevail!
If there is a civil war, you are probably going to die in it.
I don’t know that “revolutionary optimism” is a good solution to anything, ever.
Maybe, but a lot of us are already dying avoidable deaths; epecially with climate change.
So long as you understand that a person given PTSD by bed bugs isn’t going to win any revolutions, were on the same page.
I don’t care about your Doomerism.
Quite the opposite of doomerism.
The bed bug battle was ultimately won if you want a follow up after finding nothing of value to reference in my post history.

Oh look someone wants to defund the police
No no no not like that
I’m somewhat amazed we don’t have any “conflict of interest” laws that say “This is clearly corrupt when you’re making laws to attack ongoing judicial activities”
So the tough on crime Republicans want to defund the prosecutor?
