Trump can be held civilly liable in Jan. 6 riot, judges rule
Washington Post: Donald Trump can be held civilly liable for the actions of the mob that attacked the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, an appeals court ruled Friday in a long-awaited decision that could clear the way for lawsuits seeking financial damages from the former president.
Can we get a nationwide class action lawsuit going?
He detonated the deep personal relationships I had with half my friends and most of my family, what's that worth?
Let the pile-on begin!
I'm considering suing Trump for intentional infliction of emotional distress caused by his riots and rioters.
And I'll seek $11,780,000 in damages.
Who's in?
That's all we need. We're just asking him to find it.
You have my axe!
Shouldn't need that for a civil sentence, but stay ready.
I'm in!
Do it! Do it! Do it! Do it!Do it! Do it!
This is wealth redistribution at its finest. MAGAt donors --> Those who've been harmed by Trump, et al.
Looks like meat's back on the menu, boys!
I mean, the supporters that were following his orders should sue him too.
This court drew a line that separates Presidential conduct and civil conduct. This reinforces the other courts ruling against rioters, who were asking for leniency or exoneration because they were "following the Commander in Chief's orders." In short, their dumb-assery is on them.
Another hole in his claims of Total Presidential Monarchy.
Someone should move on it like a bitch.

Neat catch
🤖?
I'm proud to have done my part
less than half of what you'd hoped for?
You have my axe?
A whole raft of lawsuits against a guy who can only attract the absolute worst lawyers? Game on.
That's like they've pulled the goalie.
Ooooooh! FUN!
So we are gonna see just a giant wave of civil suits.
And my axe!
