Palantir just got a new contract to monitor and track employees swiping in and out. This is certainly a part of the induced trauma that Count Vought’em’whore talker about. Thoughts?

Overview: President Donald Trump is reportedly considering dropping a $10 billion lawsuit against the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) in exchange for the creation of a $1.7 billion government fund. This taxpayer-financed fund would be used to compensate political allies who claim they were unfairly targeted by the Biden administration’s "weaponization" of the legal system—including many individuals charged in connection with the January 6, 2021, Capitol riot.

Key Details of the Proposed Settlement:

• Jan 6. & Political Allies: The $1.7 billion fund would pay damages to Trump supporters who assert they were wrongfully prosecuted or harmed, which includes the nearly 1,600 people charged in the January 6th insurrection.
• Trump’s Compensation: The fund would also settle Trump's own $230 million legal claim against the Justice Department regarding the 2022 FBI search of his Mar-a-Lago estate and investigations into his 2016 campaign's alleged ties to Russia.
• IRS Concessions: In addition to the monetary fund, Trump would reportedly require the IRS to publicly apologize for the previous unauthorized disclosure of his personal tax returns (the origin of his $10 billion lawsuit) and to waive a current IRS audit into his finances.
• Legal Blueprint: The Justice Department is reportedly modeling this fast-tracked program after a historic 2011 class-action settlement fund (Keepseagle v. Vilsack), which previously compensated Native American farmers for systemic discrimination.

Backlash and Criticism: The proposal has sparked intense outrage from Democratic leaders and government ethics watchdogs. Critics are highly concerned about the ethics of a sitting president receiving substantial government funds from his own administration and distributing them to political allies. For instance, Senator Elizabeth Warren publicly condemned the move as an "insane level of corruption," characterizing it as a billion-dollar "slush fund" intended to reward insurrectionists while everyday Americans struggle with basic expenses.
