Judges Rule On Slush Fund, Kennedy Center

 

In the span of a few hours, two Federal judges dealt blows to the unhinged and narcissistic Malignant Fascist:

1. Federal District Judge Leonie Brinkema temporarily blocked any funds going to allies of the MF from the $1.8 billion MAGA thug fund that he and his corrupt Attorney General and Treasury Secretary "settled" on his flimsy $10 billion lawsuit against the IRS for leaking his tax returns:

"The fund is being operated out of the Justice Department. Both Democrats and Republicans have criticized the fund. Opponents have labeled it a massive 'slush fund' for President Donald Trump’s allies. Its existence has alarmed some legal experts, in part because there will be very little public oversight over how it is managed. [snip]

The Trump administration cannot take any further action on the fund while legal motions are pending, 'which includes the transferring of money to the fund; the consideration of any claims submitted to the fund; and the disbursing of any funds from the fund,' according to the order.

The judge said the order was necessary to 'ensure that no funds are irreversibly disbursed from the Anti-Weaponization Fund' while there are motions pending to block the distribution of funds. She set a hearing for June 12."

The slush fund has drawn widespread outrage at the brazen grab of taxpayer money to reward the January 6 rioters who assaulted police, and other election deniers who attempted to overthrow the 2020 election.

2. Federal District Judge Christopher Cooper ordered that the MF's name be removed from the Kennedy Center and that the closing of the Kennedy Center for a two year period for "renovation" be temporarily suspended:

“'The Kennedy Center’s organic statute makes crystal clear that the Center is to be named for President Kennedy, and it cannot bear any other formal name or public memorial based on the Board’s unilateral say-so,' Cooper wrote in his order in U.S. District Court in Washington.

'Congress gave the Kennedy Center its name, and only Congress can change it.'”

In addition to building monuments to himself like his golden ballroom / bunker and the monstrous "Arc de Trump" outside of Arlington National Cemetery in the MF's first 18 months in office, he's been slapping his name on buildings, currency, and anything that he thinks will erase his disgraceful record and adjudicated criminality.  Time to start the demolition of his corrupt projects.
