No one who could use that money is getting a cent of it
It’s just another way to funnel taxpayer cash away from tax payers

It’s meant to fund a private militia.

Why bother? He already has one with ICE

Ice doesn’t have enough people to meaningfully oppress the whole nation

Neither would a separate private militia with $1.8b im funding so how is that relevant here?

Some of the proud boys had such egregious criminal records they couldn’t even pass an ICE background check. This will get them on board. “No thug left behind.”

It’s likely some of those have already slipped through. I hear what you are saying, but it makes no sense to me that Trump (or more likely, Stephen Miller) would bother creating a new radical militia when DHS is already right there, with way more funding, infrastructure, and basically zero oversight.
Trump is also not in the habit of paying people when he could simply promise to pay people and pocket the cash instead. I can’t honestly see any J6ers getting any of this money outside of maybe one or two just for the news ragebait/distraction.
