Behold, an ounce of common sense and realism from a Republican. And of course it’s a Republican heading out the door so he can scream the quiet part out loud without worrying about inflaming King Donald against him. The Republicans who are sticking around don’t sound this way, so get it while you can. And focus on Tillis’s bottom line, “tyranny.” Yep, we agree.
GOP Senator Thom Tillis slams Trump’s $1.8B slush fund:
“I think it’s stupid on stilts… Taxpayer dollars will compensate someone who assaulted a police officer, got convicted…and now we’re going to pay him for that? This is absurd!” pic.twitter.com/tHCClCilb9

It is stupid on stilts but it goes along with Trump’s Big Lie which is that he lost the 2020 election. He keeps pushing that Big Lie and this is all a part of that inherent scheme.
And bear in mind that in addition to this one point eight billion dollars that Trump now wants another billion for his vanity project ballroom. That’s almost three billion dollars and that’s a bloody fortune. And it will come out of your pocket and mine.
Tyranny is right. Shame that Tillis isn’t sticking around. But if he were, he probably wouldn’t be telling the truth.
