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.

    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.

          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.

            ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
