CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Judge temporarily freezes payments from Trump administration's 'Anti-Weaponization Fund'
The pause comes so the judge can consider arguments in a suit against the fund.The order from U.S. District Judge Leonie Brinkema specifically bars the administration "from taking any further action pursuant to the creation or operation of the Anti-Weaponization Fund," including transfers of money or consideration of claims from individuals who may argue they are victims of political persecution.
Friday's order did not weigh in on the legal merits of the case

There is bipartisan legislation to stop what shouldn't have gone this far. Let's see how serious the group who had heart-attacks seeing Joe Biden loaned his son $1,300 as pure corruption actually is.

Judge Reopens Trump’s I.R.S. Suit and Questions His ‘Weaponization’ Fund
"A federal judge in Miami reopened President Trump’s $10 billion case against the I.R.S. in a striking turnabout, saying that she wanted to investigate “grievous allegations” that the hasty deal to resolve it was “premised on deception.”
The ruling by the judge, Kathleen M. Williams, on Friday to revive the case shortly after closing it was a significant blow both to Mr. Trump, who had voluntarily dismissed the suit last week, and to the Justice Department. After the president withdrew the suit, senior department officials released a pair of extraordinary agreements that settled the case by establishing a $1.8 billion fund to compensate people who claimed they were victims of government “weaponization” by Democrats.
The deal also conferred lucrative tax benefits on Mr. Trump, his family and his businesses.
Judge Williams’s decision came in response to court papers filed on Wednesday by a bipartisan group of 35 former federal judges who urged her to bring the case back to life and dig into the details of the agreement to settle it."
Not so fast says the judge.

For the rest of them, who are seditionists, who plead guilty, this is what happens when a felon pardons and emboldens felons.
Both they and Trump live in an alternative universe.

From here: Trump's $1.8 Billion Slush Fund Rejected By Nearly Half Of GOP
'A poll by the Economist/YouGov found a majority of Republicans (52%) and a plurality of MAGA supporters (45%) oppose the fund set up to offer payouts to people who believe they’ve been wronged by the government.
Multiple Republicans criticized the fund, while Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick R-Pa. teamed with Rep. Tom Suozzi, D-N.Y. to block it from being used. Backlash over the fund prompted Senate leadership to cancel a vote planned for last week to fund Immigration and Customs Enforcement and Customs and Border Patrol, meaning the bill would not get to Trump’s desk by the June 1 deadline he set.
And so Trump folds yet again:
www.independent.co.uk
'President Donald Trump is tabling his plans for a nearly $1.8 billion compensation fund designed to pay his allies and alleged “victims” of government “weaponization” after federal judges began firing back at a so-called “settlement” that got him off the hook for tax investigations in exchange for funneling millions of taxpayer dollars to his supporters.
The Department of Justice “will abide by the Court’s ruling,” the agency said in a statement Monday.'
Cracks are widening in the MAGAverse.

Fraud On The Court By An Officer Of The Court
How is Trump-v-Trump not fraud on the court? They literally withdrew the lawsuit when it was apparent the presiding Judge was about to dismiss the lawsuit. Realizing that, the two parties who hold interest to the same party act. On one side the temporary AG and Trump personal lawyer who the DOJ IG warned he should recuse himself on all Trump matters. He didn't. On the other side an agency Trump controls.
From the presiding Judges "not so fast order":
A court is empowered to investigate serious misconduct as a collateral issue within the purview of Rule 11 and determine “whether an attorney has abused the judicial process.” Didie v. Howes, 988 F.2d 1097, 1103 (11th Cir. 1993); see also Willy v. Coastal.
