Former President Donald Trump can be sued by injured Capitol Police officers and Democratic lawmakers over the Jan. 6, 2021, insurrection at the U.S. Capitol, the Justice Department said Thursday in a federal court case testing Trump’s legal vulnerability for his speech before the riot. 
 

In court papers, the Justice Department told a federal appeals court in Washington that it should allow the lawsuits to move forward, rejecting Trump’s argument that he is immune from the claims.

 

The department said it takes no position on the lawsuits’ claims that the former president’s words incited the attack on the Capitol. Nevertheless, Justice lawyers told the court that a president would not be protected by “absolute immunity” if his words were found to have been an “incitement of imminent private violence.”

Biden isn't the head of a cult that attempted to overturn a democratically-held election to keep their power structure and bruised egos intact.

Someone help me understand this:   For the past 2+ years, Republicans have been pounding the table and screaming at the top of their lungs about a stolen election, election fraud, fake/fraud

Long story ...   There was a sales rep I used to work with (who had a hilarious falling out with the company which basically showed he didn't know our product and would sell his other produc

The tapes should be fun. You were perfectly fine with Schiff and others releasing what they wanted you to see. If you cant see the irony of you bitching about this, then you are hopeless.

it was just a fucking tour.

Super conservatives Liz Cheney, and Kinzinger drove much of the Jan6th work, and spoke plainly that this happened to their repub party due to fealty to Trump, grifters and enablers.  You are perfectly fine continuing to ignore this and throw bogeyman Schiff out there and imply an equivalency to Tucker the propagandist.  Disingenuous at best.

Only in a warped circle are those two considered conservatives. They were on that committee for only one reason- they hated Trump. And early releases of the tapes are already showing something different. Coup my ass.

Have you seen the videos of the insurrectionist talking to the FBI and judges at their sentencing? 

 

They almost all talk about being duped

Insurrection? Hyperbole. A coup would have had the armed services, media, millions of armed people in key locations. Or at least a concerted effort to control social media, regular media, ban criticism and free speech, invent a false narrative of treason, hamstring a sitting President with investigations and threats, have media magnates spend billions on Democrat regions, invent covid reasons to allow ballot harvesting, hide your shadow candidate in a basement and feed him Aricept, and investigate any protests against that with a preordained committee and findings.

here we go...still amazing how many will believe the alternate reality theory.

 

 

The resident FoxNews flock will be around quoting Tucker soon too.

 

 

It's amazing how Fox admitted to lying to them for money and they'll still believe this crap.
