Not paying restitution is not "costing", you fucking idiot.
January 6th didn't cost anyone 2.7 billion.
BLM and George Floyd riots DID "cost" us 2 billion.
Not paying restitution is not a "cost", dumb fuck.
Damage done to what you BLM and Drag Queen-lovers, DID cost money.
LOL... he said restitution.
CAPITOL RIOT COSTS GO UP: GOVERNMENT ESTIMATES $2.73 MILLION IN PROPERTY DAMAGE
https://www.forbes.com/sites/zacharysmith/2022/04/08/capitol-riot-costs-go-up-government-estimates-273-million-in-property-damage/
According to Congressional quarterly expense reports released this week, the Select Committee on the January 6, 2021, Capitol riot
spent more than $3.3 million to conduct its work between April and June. Its budget is roughly four times that of the committee to
investigate climate change and well above the total spending of the House Committee on Science, Space and Technology. A deeper
review of House expenditures for the most recent quarter shows that the committee's spending was eclipsed only by major standing
committees like the House Committee on Foreign Affairs ($3.8 million), Committee on Homeland Security ($3.7 million) and House Ways
and Means ($4.8 million), which have substantial personnel obligations that often carry highly specialized expertise.
SO much money!
LOL

"Trump Derangement Syndrome" Is a Real Mental Condition
All you need to know about "Trump Derangement Syndrome," or TDS.
"Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS) is a mental condition in which a person has been driven effectively insane due to their dislike
of Donald Trump, to the point at which they will abandon all logic and reason."
Justin Raimondo, the editorial director of Antiwar.com, wrote a piece in the Los Angeles Times in 2016 that broke TDS down into
three distinct phases or stages:
"In the first stage of the disease, victims lose all sense of proportion. The president-elect's every tweet provokes a firestorm,
as if 140 characters were all it took to change the world."
"The mid-level stages of TDS have a profound effect on the victim's vocabulary: Sufferers speak a distinctive language consisting
solely of hyperbole."
"As TDS progresses, the afflicted lose the ability to distinguish fantasy from reality."
The Point here is simple: TDS is, in the eyes of its adherents, the knee-jerk opposition from liberals to anything and everything
Trump does. If Trump announced he was donating every dollar he's ever made, TDS sufferers would suggest he was up to something
nefarious, according to the logic of TDS. There's nothing - not. one. thing. - that Trump could do or say that would be received
positively by TDSers.
The history of Trump Derangement Syndrome actually goes back to the early 2000s - a time when the idea of Trump as president was a
punch line for late-night comics and nothing more.
Wikipedia traces its roots to "Bush Derangement Syndrome" - a term first coined by the late conservative columnist Charles
Krauthammer back in 2003. The condition, as Krauthammer defined it, was "the acute onset of paranoia in otherwise normal people in
reaction to the policies, the presidency - nay - the very existence of George W. Bush."
