Is Trump's $1.8 billion slush fund in trouble?

[LafayetteBear]

It is getting some serious head wind in the Senate, putting off passage of a reconciliation bill Trump hoped to get by June 1. Looks like that won't happen. Numerous GOP senators are opposed to the slush fund. Maybe it is, as Dick Durbin noted, "an ethical bridge too far" for Senate Republicans.

Republicans revolt over Trump’s $1.8 billion compensation fund, delaying reconciliation bill

Republicans were planning to pass their reconciliation bill before a Memorial Day recess. All of that is on hold after Republicans pushed back against Trump’s nearly $1.8 billion “anti-weaponization fund.”

Considering the questionable legality and the certain immorality of it, the should ALL be opposed.

Crazy how the biggest hangup is money potentially going to J6ers. The hangup should be with this fund even existing at all.

Nah... They are just making noise. Trump has their balls in his desk drawer. When it comes time to vote, we'll see them supporting him.

Exactly. I will be just as pissed even if they strip out the J6ers and still allow people like Mike Lindell or Marc Caputo etc to get money

Even Tommy two ton from Alabama said he's against it.

Good if true. We shouldn't have slush funds for any POTUS.

Hope not. I've already applied for all the duress the libs on here have caused me.

Susan Collin’s was incensed!!

That's really too bad. I'm sure the J6 domestic terrorists were planning on using the funds to support libraries and food banks and not to do things like spend $1,800,000,000 on guns and ammo.

Is that higher than being very concerned?
