Oh fuck, what a grift. J6 terrorists sue a DOJ controlled by Trump; Trump orders DOJ lawyers to settle for an undisclosed amount, both sides agree to an NDA. This can happen dozens, hundreds of times. Just an ingenious way to funnel tax dollars to far-right terrorist groups.

Thank you for agreeing to this photoshoot Ms. St. Clair, but is there any way we can communicate you’re not terribly bright and make bad strategic choices? We want something less literal than you holding up the baby you had with Mr. Musk. What if I swap the bishops and the knights? Perfect!
