Just One Thing: It's still not OK
I am asking myself if I'm overreacting to the DOJ's settlement with Donald Trump that creates a $1.8 billion "anti-weaponization" fund that might be used to give money to Tina Peters or Mike Lindell or January 6 rioters or, theoretically, James Comey (since he's being abused by the Trump DOJ...which he kinda deserves but is still not OK.) The settlement also provides that the government will not investigate, prosecute, or civilly charge Trump, his family, or "affiliated" people or business with tax crimes/violations or, depending on interpretation, maybe not over any prior wrongdoing. It's literally a get-out-of-jail-free card.
I've decided that I'm not overreacting, that this is one of the most corrupt official acts of government during my lifetime.
