Is trump's almost two-billion-dollar slush fund in real trouble? This is a good sign.

"Bad news. We're going to try to kill it. We're considering a legislative option." said Brian Fitzpatrick- R, of Pennsylvania. He said this after trump trashed him, warning that going against him doesn't work out well.

Apparently, Brian, who is from a swing district is starting to grow a little spine. Are the winds shifting as we head into the general election?

This slush fund is pure financial rape of taxpayers. Also thinking that he will use the funds as nefarious bribes to criminals. Your thoughts?

and is not justified in any way, so it is totally out of bounds to charge taxpayers for it.

the capital, and tried to overturn an election, is not a measure of "someone growing a spine".

That SHOULD BE CONSIDERED THE NORMAL reacation, and without a doubt the entire republican party has failed the test of normality, and has become a decadent, autocratic, racist, sexist, anti-Democracy CULT.

and he even said he's going to support legislation to stop it. I agree that unless he actually does so, it's meaningless.
