President Donald Trump filed suit Monday against the British Broadcasting Company, seeking more than $5 billion from the venerable news outlet over what he contends was deliberately misleading editing of a speech he gave on Jan. 6, 2021, as the Capitol riot was getting underway.

The lawsuit, filed in federal court in Miami, complains that the BBC “maliciously” strung together two comments Trump made more than 54 minutes apart in order to convey the impression that he’d urged his supporters to engage in violence as electoral votes were set to be tabulated by Congress.

    I feel like as many person as possible need to start suing him back. Absolutely flood the courts with the same vexatious litigations this human-shaped shitbag is flinging around.

    Absolutely swamp the courts until hes out of office. And if he never leaves, then never stop.

    And everyone being sued by him, need to make a mockery of the process and not take it seriously. Even when judges demand respect, just throw it back in their faces that they take a clown seriously.

      We should also be looking into suing everyone in the administration taking away things from us that Congress appropriated and disbursed. We should sue the Supreme Court justices as well for dereliction of duty or any other bullshit we can throw at these ghouls
