Dem Rep Wants To “Put Trump Out Of Business” With New Lawsuit: “Donald Trump has to go away, if he doesn’t, we will put him out of business”
Slate Report ^

Congressman Bennie Thompson, the Democratic lawmaker who filed a lawsuit with the NAACP against former President Trump and Rudy Giuliani, said he is eager to get to court and wants to put Trump out of business. “Donald Trump has to go away. If he doesn’t, we will put him out of business,” Thompson, the chair of the House Homeland Security Committee, told CBSN.

The lawsuit accuses Trump and Rudy and others of violating the Ku Klux Klan Act of 1871. That law prohibits two or more people from conspiring to “prevent, by force, intimidation, or threat,” any office-holder from doing their job.

“The act was put in place to protect those members of Congress so that we can actually have a democracy that stands up to the promise of the Constitution, without individuals being in fear of their intimidation or threat to their lives,” Johnson said.

These lunatics won't be satisfied until they can hang his body upside down from a girder so they can mutilate it, like Mussolini. In their warped minds that's who DJT is.

And they'd love to do the same to all of us.

Democrats are very afraid, they thought Pelosi would have money to bail out blue states months ago and the pressure is really on. They destroyed their cities and a new migration is happening. Their base has splintered into tribes and Nancy’s do nothing policy isn’t going to fly.The media is a joke, Biden couldn’t get a buyer at a lemonade stand in a desert.Americans miss Trump more everyday.

The Democrats are openly pursuing a Bill of Attainder. Specifically prohibited by the Constitution.
But Kamala and Nancy would rip up the Constitution on live television.

I remember Michael Avanauti and the “Stormies” ah coming! How did that work out? Michael was to be the next Democratic President bla bla bla. I think Trump will win and sue for damages!

“If he doesn’t, we will put him out of business,” Thompson, the chair of the House Homeland Security Committee, told CBSN.”

That’s going to be a dismissal of the suit right there, if it comes before a competent judge. Plaintiff just admitted for the record that the suit is not to recover actual damages or get relief, but is purely malicious.

... and they will destroy you for being against them.

Not enough to defeat you.

Like the Christian bakers who would not decorate a cake with symbols of sodomy, you must be driven from the public.

No jury in the US will ever convict Trump of anything.

I've seen the results of some pretty stupid juries.

No jury in the US will ever convict Trump of anything. The country is evenly divided.


But the District of Columbia’s jury pool isn’t evenly divided. A conviction there would be easy.
