Victim. Trump victim. It was proven in court. The president is an adjudicated rapist.

Average right wing dumbass: randomly parrots bullshit talking points about "lawfare".
The average right wing dumbass then sits there quietly when lawfare and the weaponization of government like we've never seen before is aimed at all of Pumpkinhead's enemies.

Is she going to be able to get some of that $1,776 million slush fund for people attacked by a weaponized justice department?

Say billion. Don’t reframe it.

The reframe has already worked. The number keeps being reported as 1.8 billion dollars when it was specifically 1.776 billion, 1776 being red meat for his base. That number means something to them and covering it up is providing cover for the motivation and intent of the fund.
The 1,776 million number contains more useful info than saying 1.8 billion, so I’m cool with that framing.

It actually helped me realize that it was a purely made up amount too and that it’s exactly pandering to his base with “1776”

The irony being that all of his jackbooted thug fans would be Tories and ache for a Big Daddy/King to rule America again.

There's no number in the "settlement." Drumpf just handed himself a blank check to be paid by the taxpayers

Rapists cannot get enough of victimizing people. She already bought a gun for home security, post conviction, out of fear due to the deluge of harassment she received from Trump followers.

Everyone at the DOJ should be crawling under their desks in mortification that they work there.
