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.

This. I look forward to this. Almost every day.

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.
