Rep. @BennieGThompson filed a banger of a lawsuit today against Trump (in his personal capacity), Rudy Giuliani, the Proud Boys, and the Oathkeepers.

He alleges violations of the KKK Act in connection with the insurrection AND uses McConnell’s speech against DJT.

It’s a beauty
Rep. Thompson is also seeking punitive damages which is A+ trolling insofar as it may force Trump to admit he’s a broke ass.
Anyway, here’s the full complaint. It is well worth reading. https://assets.documentcloud.org/documents/20484426/2-16-21-thompson-v-trump-complaint.pdf

And I would expect to see a lot more members of Congress filing lawsuits against Trump PERSONALLY.

this fool is going to be tied up in court for the rest of his goddamn life.

There are definitely questions about presidential immunity. Nixon v. Fitzgerald is a good place to start. I think we may be in uncharted territory here with regard to what an official act is—but I'm not positive. When I figure it out, I'll let y'all know.
from now on, i'm calling it "inciting an erection" FOR SURE. https://twitter.com/AngryBlackLady/status/1361713846759526403?s=20
