  10. #Drumpf admin rewarding #energy contractors with massive #taxpayer payouts to drop #windmill projects.

    #Drumpf admin vowed on Wednesday to pay $765 million to a power project developer #Invenergy to abandon planned #windmill projects off the coastal states of New York, #California and #Maine and convert resources to developing natural gas power plants in five landlocked Midwest states.

    Seven U.S. states sued the admin this month over a similar $800 million payment to #TotalEnergies TTEF.PA to cancel an east coast offshore wind project. The state AG's suing the #ExecBranch allege payments are not proper #USA govt process and illegally misuse fund$ reserved for legal settlements when there was no actual #litigation.

  16. He's going to pay his #maga #insurrectionists out of his new #AntiWeaponizationFund using #taxpayer #money.

    But he's not paying them for the #Jan6 storming of the #US #Capitol back in 2021.

    This is the down payment for storming the Capitol immediately after the November #Midterm #Elections *this* year.

    He's paying people to come back and finish the job they started five years ago.

    Proposed Compensation Fund: Trump has discussed creating a formal compensation fund for rioters, suggesting they should be paid for "suffering," lost jobs, and lost income resulting from their prosecutions. Reports indicate this fund could involve up to $1.7 billion in taxpayer money to settle claims from those "harmed by weaponization" of the legal system.

    The demented mob boss wants to reward the pieces of shit who stormed the Capitol ....
