The mental illness and/or lack of integrity infecting these folks is nauseating.

Miss. congressman sues Trump over role in Capitol riot
quote:

WASHINGTON (AP) — A Democratic congressman has sued Donald Trump, alleging Trump incited the deadly insurrection at the Capitol. The Washington federal court lawsuit is part of an expected wave of litigation over the riot and is believed to be the first filed by a member of Congress. It alleges Trump conspired with members of far-right extremist groups to try to prevent the Senate from certifying the presidential election results. It was filed by Mississippi congressman Bennie Thompson under a Reconstruction-era law known as the Ku Klux Klan Act and comes days after Trump was acquitted in an impeachment trial.


quote:

It seeks unspecified punitive and compensatory damages. A Trump adviser says Trump “did not incite” any violence at the Capitol.

I’m pretty sure the Klan is now HQd in like Indiana or some place because the south probably ran their arse out on a rail. Nobody wants anything to do with them.

Half the Klan in the Deep South in the Civil Rights era were either undercover FBI agents or paid informants. No telling how much of the violence was actually incited by people on our own government's payroll.

If you don’t know Bennie, just know the district is set up nicely for him. Many have tried to run against him and win, but they all fail.

The fact that someone is even allowed to file this type of lawsuit shows just how insanely broken our system is... There should be a fine for frivolous shite like this and attorneys that file such should be barred from practice for two years...

You don’t need to do much gerrymandering around there.

Jackson and much of the surrounding area alone contains a large number of idiots who would vote for him.

Would you rather this idiot get a seat or the Delta causing multiple seats to go blue?

Yeah, he is from the "Delta" district. That ought to tell you all you need to know.

Let's do it. Can't wait to hear AOC, Pelosi, Schumer, McConnell, et al, perjure themselves during the trial.
