Rep. Andrew Clyde (R-Ga.) is proposing two amendments to an appropriations bill that would defund the various prosecutions of former President Trump.

He is adding to the defense of the former president mounted by Trump allies in the House as they circle the wagons in the face of four indictments.

Clyde, a member of the House Appropriations Committee, on Monday announced plans for two amendments to the Commerce, Justice, Science, and Related Agencies (CJS) fiscal 2024 appropriations bill that would “prohibit the use of federal funding for the prosecution of any major presidential candidate prior to the upcoming presidential election on November 5th, 2024,” according to a press release.

    How does everyone healthily cope with all this modern day political stuff?

    It feels hopeless sometimes… All of it. Cost of living, social divisions, unbelievably unprofessional everything from cops to politicians, safety, mass shootings, education, jobs, jobs that pay, medications, unhealthy-food/water, weather…

    I get caught in the loop easily. And in my personal reality, yeah I have it better than a lot of people in this world… But it’s like it doesn’t mean anything because in this culture I feel like …cut off from soul and the essence of what life is.

      Just remember this is all temporary, the universe is enormous and nothing we stupid humans do matters. One day we’ll be gone and it will be like we never existed.

          I wouldn’t say I look forward to it, it just helps me keep things in perspective. Wasn’t meaning to bring anybody down… Everyone take care of yourselves out there.

      Revolutionary optimism. The contradictions are intensifying and the system is falling into crisis. We make the world turn, and we will prevail!

        If there is a civil war, you are probably going to die in it.

        I don’t know that “revolutionary optimism” is a good solution to anything, ever.

            So long as you understand that a person given PTSD by bed bugs isn’t going to win any revolutions, were on the same page.

            I don’t care about your Doomerism.

              Quite the opposite of doomerism.

              The bed bug battle was ultimately won if you want a follow up after finding nothing of value to reference in my post history.

              ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

      Disconnect from the media. Mainstream, underground, social, all of it. The people truly enjoying their lives aren’t posting it to social media, and we know that traditional media feeds on bad news for ratings, so just leave it behind. You can still drop by to update yourself, but constant intake of what we consider news, is not healthy.
