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.

Proof positive that politics are now a weapon. If you’re not on their side, you’re against them, and they will destroy you for being against them. Every single day another chill goes up my spine.

President Trump should sue the FBI then. And the entire deep state. And schitt and pelousey.

Try and prosecute a Democrat under a law from 1871. Listen to the shrieks and wails over antiquated laws enacted by old white men intended to keep “people of color” down.

*yawn* this will go no where.

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

Rat party is all-in on anti-American and Contra-American principles. I hope regular folks 1)learn about all of this, 2)understand the disastrous implications.

The media running cover for them has stoked an incredible level of arrogance about what they are doing and saying.

If people want to help Trump, an investigative fund has to be established. All these Democrat lowlifes have something sordid in their backgrounds. When one of them initiates a lawsuit against Trump, an immedeate comprehensive investigation into their backgrounds should commence. The findings then should be used in lawsuits directed personally at them or publicized to the greatest extent possible. Its necessary to go on the offensive against these vile people.

If the law WASN’T an ass, Chuck Schumer would be held to the same standard over his actions during the Kavanaugh hearings.

He pledged to uphold the US Constitution and this is a call for a banned “Bill of Attainder”. Impeach HIM!

Why not just loot, burn up and tear down his businesses? Then he’s out of business. Antifa n BLM could do the deed. Redrum his employees too.
