Two Capitol Police officers are suing former President Donald Trump for the physical and emotional injuries they say they suffered while protecting the Capitol from his mob during the Jan. 6 attack on the complex.
Insurrections have consequences.
I’ll preemptively suggest here that the suit’s likelihood of success isn’t the point. It’s that Trump will be compelled to hear and answer for what he did in a setting where there are punishments for lying. For a person who cares about nothing in this world but how others see him, that’s punishment in itself. And the fact that by any rational measure he had lost the election decisively, and that’s relevant to the suit, will be part of that.
Sir, today’s lawsuit is here.
“Yeah? What’s this one for?”
It’s from two Capitol police officers who are suing you for injuries they received when that crowd of patriots visited the Capitol after your brilliant Jan 6 speech.
“Those losers are suing me for getting hurt while they were being hugged and kissed? They should be paying me!”
Which pile should I put it on?
“Put it on the ‘Saving Democracy’ stack, I guess.”
Every single day as I try to move on, I am completely disgusted by Trump and his administration and the damage they did to this country.
And he’ll be subject to Discovery.
He thinks Discovery means watching old Shark Week episodes.
Agreed, and particularly since T**** would never pay the judgement.
Well, he paid the $25 million for Trump University. Or someone did. Maybe we overestimate his ability to tell courts no.
I hope the settlement leaves them with the power to evict Mar-Iago’s current occupant and, then, decide on the future disposition of the property.
To liquidate or to manage, that is the question.
Truth is Individual One’s most feared enemy. It reveals what a horrible person he is. The dude is perfectly happy being a horrible person, but he needs his suckers to take the hits from his ongoing schemes.
Many people are saying sea level rise will handle the liquidation of Mar-e-Coli.
Oh, it’s going to get liquidated in the next hundred or so years by the rising sea level. I guess they’ll have to call it Mar a Mar then.
Great minds…
I hope to live to find a water logged cushion on the beach.

In my view this needs to be adjusted. Trump cares most about himself, and, secondly he wants the world to see him according to his fantasy about how he both sees himself and how he should be seen.
Trump doesn’t care at all about how others see him when those others don’t satisfy his criteria for how he is to be seen.
Keep those lawsuits coming. There are more on tap in New York and Georgia. Who is he going to get as his lawyers in the myriad suits? His impeachment lawyers left a lot to be desired and I doubt he has lots of respected and qualified attorneys eager to sign on. It’s not just the client and the likelihood of losing that are impediments; a history of not paying can really limit the field too.
A welcome development, to say the least. Trump is one person who has removed “karma” from anything dealing with him.
“Karma” would make his repayment activate by forcing him to live to be one million years old…at Hard Labor every second.
Just what he did to the Border kids…
I keep hoping that some of the officers who came down with Covid sue for assault over all that unwanted hugging and kissing.

Summer Zervos’ lawsuit was also green lighted to proceed against Trump yesterday.
