This #PoliticalCartoon by Clay Bennett shows the relationship between the #RuleOfLaw and Donald Trump's #SlushFund which would be #RewardingViolenceAgainstThePolice:

"A federal judge barred the government on Friday from taking steps to launch Pres. Trump’s $1.8 billion fund, for now prohibiting the establishment of the fund, which is intended to pay people the administration finds were harmed by the federal government":

"Pres. Trump’s proposed political #SlushFund is getting pushback — including from his own party. The president’s 'reparations for rioters' settlement fund may be his biggest miscalculation yet ahead of the November midterms":

"Jasmine Crockett blasts Republicans over #January6th fund, says white supremacy is being rewarded. She said: 'It is clear that neo-Nazis as well as Proud Boys joined in on #January6th. Yet this slush fund that they keep talking about is specifically to give them money'.":

Dan Pfeiffer: "Donald Trump defends taxpayer money going to people who assault police officers at the same time that he says that we can’t afford health care, child care, and keeping rural hospitals open."

Question: "Would you be okay with people who were convicted of hurting police, getting taxpayer money?"

Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche: "People that hurt police get money all the time."

Blanche should be asked to give examples of this, to support his hard to believe claim. He should also be asked to answer the question which was not 'Did it happen?' but 'Do you approve of it happening?' #media #RewardingViolenceAgainstThePolice

Dan Pfeiffer: "Donald Trump trying to turn the midterms into a referendum on taxpayer-funded reparations for #January6th rioters is quite the move."

Rep. Brendan Boyle: "If anyone should be compensated for #January6th, it's the over 140 police officers who were injured protecting our democracy — not the violent scum who attacked them. Republicans in Washington need to stand up and reject Trump's corrupt slush fund."

Sen. Mitch McConnell: "So, the nation’s top law enforcement official is asking for a slush fund to pay people who assault cops? Utterly stupid, morally wrong. Take your pick”:

Andrew Desiderio: "A nearly 2-hour meeting between Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche and Senate Republicans was incredibly hostile per multiple attendees. As many as 25 GOP senators spoke, all in opposition to Trump's weaponization fund. Republicans pitched specific ideas such as dictating how the 5 commissioners are chosen, and not allowing people convicted of violence against cops to be eligible for a payout."
