Lets see if we can keep this thread a little more civil.

I found this interview very interesting.  A lot of soft balls thrown at Trump, he explained his back pedalling on his more extreme issues as a lot of his claims as opening bids for negotiation purposes.  Which .. whatever .. I still think that those are insincere claims he used to get elected.

He does now come across way more presidential then he did prior to the election.  A lot of his noise, yelling, and rhetoric has been scaled back.

Do respect this one though:

Quote

 

Lesley Stahl: Are you gonna take the salary, the president’s salary?

Donald Trump: Well, I’ve never commented on this, but the answer is no. I think I have to by law take $1, so I’ll take $1 a year. But it’s a -- I don’t even know what it is.

Donald Trump: Do you know what the salary is?

Lesley Stahl: $400,000 you’re giving up.

Donald Trump: No, I’m not gonna take the salary. I’m not taking it.

Being completely cynical and losing any and all hope quickly, will any of these lawsuits realistically matter in holding Trump accountable? Maybe my hope will be injected with optimism when I see the first formal criminal charges laid against this buffoon.

Turtle had a chance to bury Trump, he choose not to and as of todays statement by Trump he is out to bury McConnell and all who opposed him, Trump has been bullet proof so far, people are gunning for him and he better find better lawyers that he had at his conviction hearing

Yes. Civil suits in the US require only a majority jury decision, and do not have to meet the "beyond a reasonable doubt" standard.

Been pretty sick of fox's take on the power outages... Chris has a pretty good take on it.

 

 

NAACP Sues Trump, Giuliani and Two White Nationalist Groups for Failed Jan. 6 Coup

The NAACP, Mississippi Rep. Bennie Thompson, and civil rights law firm Cohen Milstein Sellers & Toll figure if Republicans won’t let their ovaries hang and impeach the voice of the insurrection, then they will just have to sue his ass and his supporters’ untanned asses.

So a lawsuit was filed Tuesday morning in the Federal District Court for the District of Columbia, claiming that the Proud Boys, Oath Keepers, former President Donald Trump and his personal lawyer Rudy Giuliani incited a riot on Jan. 6 to keep Congress from certifying election results, Politico reports.

The lawsuit “claims they did so in violation of the Ku Klux Klan Act, a Reconstruction-era statute designed to protect both formerly enslaved African Americans and lawmakers in Congress from white supremacist violence,” according to Politico.

“If we don’t put a check on the spread of domestic terrorism, it will consume this nation and transform it to something that none of us recognize,” NAACP President Derrick Johnson told Politico. “We must, as a nation, prevent the spread of this type of boldness where [insurrectionists] will go to our U.S. Capitol and seek an act of treason.”

Reps. Hank Johnson and Bonnie Watson Coleman are expected to join the litigation as plaintiffs in the coming days.

Dominion Says It Will Sue MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell Over Election Fraud Claims

Dominion sent letters to Lindell in December and January demanding that he retract false claims about their machines. Instead, the MyPillow CEO doubled down.

MAGA diehard and pillow magnate Mike Lindell is the next target of a Dominion Voting Systems lawsuit over his wild claims about nonexistent election-fraud conspiracy, with the lead attorney representing Dominion telling The Daily Beast he expects to file the suit “imminently.”

Lindell, a staunch Donald Trump ally and founder of the MyPillow company, became a prominent voice and financial backer in attempts to overturn the 2020 presidential election and, alongside Trumpist attorneys Lin Wood and Sidney Powell, made a series of false allegations that China and others somehow hacked voting machines and swung the 2020 election to Joe Biden.

“He has doubled down and tripled down. He has made himself a higher public profile with his documentary,” Tom Clare, an attorney representing Dominion, told The Daily Beast on Tuesday afternoon. Clare confirmed in a brief phone call that Dominion would be filing suit against Lindell “imminently.”

The suit would make Lindell the third pro-Trump figure sued by Dominion after the company filed $1.3 billion suits against attorneys Sidney Powell and Rudy Giuliani.

In my best Goldberg voice:  Fox....your next!

The civil suits will hurt Trump the most. He values money and power above all else, and as the suits go forward, this will panic any potential lenders, except maybe for the Russian money. The Saudis will treat him like the useless former asset he is now.

Things I have learned from Mike Lindell.

 

you do not need to be smart to succeed in the mass market pillow business.

 

 Im sure Trump has plenty stashed away, and has enough dirt on important people, that he will not be living small.

if he ended up in jail, it would be the greatest jail cell ever. many people would say so.

he seems to be an expert at slithering away from his messes.

The Arabian peninsula is a haven..... the saudis took in idi amin. 

as far as i know trump hasnt fed anyone to the crocodiles.

Nothing like having an independent power grid.....
Texas's electric system of ERCOT is isolated from the rest of the country, partly as a way to avoid federal regulation. So it cannot simply import power from elsewhere to make up for the shortage.

That is part of the problem, but only after the catastrophic failure of the isolated texas power grid... the fact that they failed to winterize their source of electricity is pretty high up on the blame pole.

To bad Trump wasn't president he could of nuked that storm and saved Texas
