Rep. Andrew Clyde (R-Ga.) is proposing two amendments to an appropriations bill that would defund the various prosecutions of former President Trump.
He is adding to the defense of the former president mounted by Trump allies in the House as they circle the wagons in the face of four indictments.
Clyde, a member of the House Appropriations Committee, on Monday announced plans for two amendments to the Commerce, Justice, Science, and Related Agencies (CJS) fiscal 2024 appropriations bill that would “prohibit the use of federal funding for the prosecution of any major presidential candidate prior to the upcoming presidential election on November 5th, 2024,” according to a press release.

They’re not even subtle.
It’s so… Disappointing that they’re rallying behind this decrepit, puss filled slug.
It’s because they are guilty of shit too, and they are afraid of their shit coming to light as well
Even if this was added to the bill, there’s no way it would ever reach the president’s desk. And if it did, there’s no way Biden wouldn’t veto it.
This is just somebody signalling his loyalty to Orange Steal so he can swoop in and grab a little of his powerbase when Orange Steal is serving out his golden years in a jumpsuit that matches his spray tan.
I guarantee you, the Biden administration has a planned timeline they want to see this prosecution play out over, and it ends in a conviction before the election. It has contingencies in place for every bullshit delaying tactic conservatives will try to throw at them. He’s going to jail for a very long time, and I’d say the majority of people are starting to wise up to this fact.
Doesn’t even matter.
Rep. Andrew Clyde (R-Ga.)
Republicans have shot his bills down countless times because he’s mostly a prick to everyone. Nobody likes the guy and he’s hardly useful in any capacity to the GOP outside of a warm body who can physically push a “yea” button when they tell him to push it.
He’s like MTG who is from the close by 14th district except more irritating to listen to and less well put together. Pretty much exactly what you’d expect from rural Georgia yet just less pleasant in pretty much every aspect than most Republicans.
Not only that, guy is a well known coward. His usual response to difficult things is to do his best impression of Zoidberging out of the situation. Guy is worthless skin who’d run for cover if someone started popping popcorn.
Thank fuck, I was worried for a bit that they could actually do something
The New Nazis are not very good at this, are they?
If they’re on that team as it is it’s because they’re: greedy, stupid, cowards, or all of the above.
The New Nazi slogan is: “Wah, ich bin ein Kleinkind! Wechsle meine Windel, frau!”

I wouldn’t have thought the Cheeto Mussolini’s baby photos were in color.
Let’s hope not, or if so let’s hope it’s very hard to prove… If Biden has all that planned, it would suggest executive interference and politically motivated prosecution. Don’t get me wrong, Trump needs to crash and burn, just saying…
Shouldn’t these clowns be charged with obstruction of justice?
Yes, but spoiler alert: they won’t.

Yes. They won’t though.
Exercising regular congressional powers by introducing legislation that cuts funding to a judicial body, regardless of the intent, isn’t obstruction of justice.
When your sole purpose is to use extrajudicial force to subvert justice, how on earth is that not obstruction? Congress doesn’t have unilateral authority to undermine the law for their own gain.
I remember when the Republican Senate wanted to delay a supreme court justice selection for an entire until after the elections so the American people could have a say.
2 justices later it’s a month before the election and they cram a 3rd down our throats.
Fuck them forever.
Not before an election. During an election. Early voting had already started.
This sums up my feelings quite well. These children are fucking self centered.
Dems:
- Benghazi This is stupid, but we’ll sit through all these dumb ass hearings and waste money to appease these shitheads
- Hunter Biden This is stupid, but we’ll sit through all these dumb ass hearings and waste money to appease these shitheads
- Whitewater This is stupid, but we’ll sit through all these dumb ass hearings and waste money to appease these shitheads
- And so on …
Republicans:
- Any charge POLITICAL WITCHUNT!! STOP THE PROCESS! OVERTHROW THE GOV’T!!
Get fucked. Orange traitor is going to jail no matter what happens in the federal cases.
The American people get to decide who wins the White House — not Deep State actors who have shamelessly attacked Donald Trump…
Trump made the decision for himself when he committed those crimes.
More obstruction? Throw it on the pile.
How does everyone healthily cope with all this modern day political stuff?
It feels hopeless sometimes… All of it. Cost of living, social divisions, unbelievably unprofessional everything from cops to politicians, safety, mass shootings, education, jobs, jobs that pay, medications, unhealthy-food/water, weather…
I get caught in the loop easily. And in my personal reality, yeah I have it better than a lot of people in this world… But it’s like it doesn’t mean anything because in this culture I feel like …cut off from soul and the essence of what life is.
Just remember this is all temporary, the universe is enormous and nothing we stupid humans do matters. One day we’ll be gone and it will be like we never existed.
This. I look forward to this. Almost every day.
I wouldn’t say I look forward to it, it just helps me keep things in perspective. Wasn’t meaning to bring anybody down… Everyone take care of yourselves out there.
Revolutionary optimism. The contradictions are intensifying and the system is falling into crisis. We make the world turn, and we will prevail!
If there is a civil war, you are probably going to die in it.
I don’t know that “revolutionary optimism” is a good solution to anything, ever.
Maybe, but a lot of us are already dying avoidable deaths; epecially with climate change.
So long as you understand that a person given PTSD by bed bugs isn’t going to win any revolutions, were on the same page.
I don’t care about your Doomerism.
Quite the opposite of doomerism.
The bed bug battle was ultimately won if you want a follow up after finding nothing of value to reference in my post history.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I’m somewhat amazed we don’t have any “conflict of interest” laws that say “This is clearly corrupt when you’re making laws to attack ongoing judicial activities”
This would require some sense of personal accountability, which is clearly missing amongst many of our so-called leaders.
That would require elected officials to act in good faith. Used to be you would want your elected officials to uphold the law even if it conflicted with party interests. Nowadays the law only applies to the minority party.
Just to clarify, you realize that republicans are actually in the minority, right? barely, but they’re fewer voting republicans than there are voting democrats
In terms of voters, yes…in terms of actual seats? Republicans hold the house.
dems hold the senate and the white house. Republicans barely have the majority at all and we both know that the pubies only hold the house because of partisan gerrymandering.
at the end of the day minority means a group of people that’s smaller than the largest group of people.
So the tough on crime Republicans want to defund the prosecutor?
Lock him too…if Trump is innocent why not get the trial over‽
The boot licking is strong with this one.
Nakedly corrupt.
So a blank check for any federal crime
It sounds like an effort to obstruct justice in furtherance of an indicted criminal enterprise.
