Reports are it might be $30 million.

I expect she will soon be named a Hero of the State.

1. It seems that there is no shortage of graves for me to piss on.

And one in particular can't be added to the list soon enough.

[Ocelot II]

2. There might even be a statue of her in Trump's new Garden of American Heroes.

His own statue will be gigantic, front and center, of course.

3. If she had been one of those scary brown people at a riot, the RW'ers would have cheered her death. Tragic, but not a

murder and not unjustified under the circumstances.

4. Traitorous action validated. MAGA justice.

5. She wasn't a pimp, was she?

He was.

[Retrograde]

6. I thought there would be several versions

of "The Ballad of Ashli Babbit" by now

[no_hypocrisy]

7. OK, what's to stop the remaining Insurrectionists from starting a class action

suit against the federal government in order to cash in on an expected settlement.

Babbit's pay-off sets a bad precedent.

Oh, and BTW, those are my tax dollars going to an abject Insurrectionist.

8. I am sure that is coming

[radicalleft]

10. THIS is how the will get "Reparations"

I read a while back that there was talk of paying the J6 pardonees repartations

9. This is BS

As a veteran we took an oath that never expires and she violated that oath. No way should any of her family received any money for her traitorous actions.

PS. You are correct Horst Wessel was a real person but the story fabricated by the Nazis as propaganda. Same thing as this Ashli Babbitt BS.

11. The upside is she's still dead.
