I'm just a low IQ old guy and I'll have to admit this whole $1.8 billion payout fund confuses me...

Where did this come from? Whose actual money (if it even exists) is it? Why don't I get some of it?

The idea was that we had 3 co-equal branches of government to ensure this kind of stuff did not happen. But Congress and SCOTUS has bowed to the KING. In just a few short years we have erased about 60 years of progress and it is not over yet.

Us peons will fight back as usual, but the harm has already been done. In the future government will be viewed as a path to riches, supported by a police state, so nothing will change. After all isn't that the message...get it while you can! And to the rest of the world - our message is "do as we say" or we will blow you to smithereens! ☮

What kind of future have we left our children? And all because of a bunch of white supremacists and religious nuts.
