Trump now claims all he has to do is shakedown the government for as much money as he wants

So let me get this straight. Trump is demanding that the DOJ just pay him $230 million because he's butt hurt about the fact that he was persecuted during the Biden years (and only escaped jail because of the foot dragging of Merrick Garland and the complicity in the Trumpist coup on the part of the Supreme Court). And the officials at DOJ responsible to decide whether to give in to this rank extortion are his personal lawyers who have claimed continuing attorney client privilege with respect to him. And we, the American taxpayers, are supposed to just swallow this and consider it legal, normal, and tolerable? And the Republicans, including the majority in both houses of Congress, actually expect that?  

I honestly cannot imagine how this is supposed to go down without a major blow up, but it apparently will. 



Silence is complicity. Americans who believe in democracy MUST RESIST. 

"If the freedom of speech is taken away-- then dumb and silent, we may be led like sheep to the slaughter."
