House Republican aims to defund Trump prosecutions until 2024 election - Lemmy.world

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.

They’re not even subtle.

Even if this was added to the bill, there’s no way it would ever reach the president’s desk. And if it did, there’s no way Biden wouldn’t veto it.

This is just somebody signalling his loyalty to Orange Steal so he can swoop in and grab a little of his powerbase when Orange Steal is serving out his golden years in a jumpsuit that matches his spray tan.

Doesn't even matter.

Rep. Andrew Clyde (R-Ga.)

Republicans have shot his bills down countless times because he's mostly a prick to everyone. Nobody likes the guy and he's hardly useful in any capacity to the GOP outside of a warm body who can physically push a "yea" button when they tell him to push it.

He's like MTG who is from the close by 14th district except more irritating to listen to and less well put together. Pretty much exactly what you'd expect from rural Georgia yet just less pleasant in pretty much every aspect than most Republicans.

Not only that, guy is a well known coward. His usual response to difficult things is to do his best impression of Zoidberging out of the situation. Guy is worthless skin who'd run for cover if someone started popping popcorn.

Thank fuck, I was worried for a bit that they could actually do something

If they’re on that team as it is it’s because they’re: greedy, stupid, cowards, or all of the above.

The New Nazi slogan is: “Wah, ich bin ein Kleinkind! Wechsle meine Windel!”

Let’s hope not, or if so let’s hope it’s very hard to prove… If Biden has all that planned, it would suggest executive interference and politically motivated prosecution. Don’t get me wrong, Trump needs to crash and burn, just saying…
