Double Whammy for Rapin' Grampy...$1.8 billion insurrectionist slush fund blocked by a judge appointed by BIG DOG.

A federal judge temporarily halted the Trump administration’s plan to create a $1.8 billion “Anti-Weaponization Fund” to pay out people who claim they were politically targeted.

Critics have warned that the fund would be used to hand out millions of taxpayer dollars to those who stormed the U.S. Capitol on January 6 and even assaulted police officers.

District Judge Leonie Brinkema, who was appointed by President Bill Clinton, blocked the administration from taking any further actions to create or operate the fund, including transferring money to it or considering claims for payouts in a brief order handed down Friday.
