  1. BBC: Trump's speech on 6 January inflamed the crowd that was attempting a coup d'etat. [1] Here's some things he said.

    Trump: BBC defamed me! I demand five billion dollars' recompense!

    Trump lawyers: <file lawsuit for $5 billion against BBC and various related orgs> This damaged his brand and reputation and all his many businesses and hurts him economically in a multitude of ways.

    BBC: This was never broadcast in the US and has nothing to do with these other orgs.

    [1] It wasn't a "riot", and therefore the participants were not "rioters". It was an attempted self-coup, or a putsch.

  3. HYPOCRITES! #Trump Suddenly Cares About ‘#Insurrectionists’ and Protecting Cops

    The president pardoned hundreds of Jan. 6 rioters who assaulted police in one of his first presidential acts

    By Nikki McCann Ramirez
    June 9, 2025

    "Insurrectionists beat cops with flag poles, crushed them with riot shields, tased them in the neck, and spat on them during the deadly attack on the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021. But when President Donald Trump claimed on Monday that he has no tolerance for 'insurrectionists' who clash with police officers, he wasn’t talking about the 1,500 rioters he pardoned upon assuming office earlier this year; he was talking about people in Los Angeles, California, protesting his administration’s anti-immigration actions.

    "Speaking to reporters outside of the White House on Monday, the president claimed that demonstrators opposing sweeping ICE raids in L.A. were 'professional agitators, they’re insurrectionists, they’re bad people,' and that 'they should be in jail.'

    "It’s clear that while there is public unrest in Los Angeles, the city is not in the throes of an active insurrection against the federal government — a claim Trump and his allies have repeatedly made since protests began on Friday. 'An insurrection against the laws and sovereignty of the United States,' White House Deputy Chief of Staff #StephenMiller wrote on X in response to videos of protesters blocking a highway. The president added on Sunday that 'a once great American City, Los Angeles, has been invaded and occupied by Illegal Aliens and Criminals […] now violent, insurrectionist mobs are swarming and attacking our Federal Agents to try and stop our deportation operations.'

    "Unless the president invokes the #InsurrectionAct — an 1807 law that allows the president to deploy the military or the National Guard for the purpose of domestic law enforcement — members of the guard would be restricted largely to the protection of federal buildings.

    "Local and state lawmakers have also stated unequivocally that the tensions in the city increased severely after Trump federalized National Guard troops for deployment in L.A. without the request or consent of California officials. Local officials in Los Angeles say that while there have been instances of protesters clashing with police, vandalizing property, and burning vehicles, the majority of such confrontations have been isolated, taken place at night, and — according to L.A. Police Chief Jim McDonnell — are not exemplary of 'the people that we see during the day who are legitimately out there exercising their First Amendment rights to be able to express their feelings about the immigration enforcement issue.'

    "Trump, who resisted activating the National Guard on #January6 to quell the violence being carried out by his supporters against law enforcement, has now warned that disrespect toward law enforcement will be met with a show of force. 'Nobody’s going to spit on our police officers. Nobody’s going to spit on our military,' the president told reporters Monday, before posting on Truth Social: 'IF THE SPIT, WE WILL HIT.'

    The administration’s top law enforcement officials are also warning against aggression toward law enforcement. “Hit a cop, you’re going to jail… doesn’t matter where you came from, how you got here, or what movement speaks to you,' FBI Director #FashPatel wrote. 'If the local police force won’t back our men and women on the thin blue line, we @FBI will.'

    "Deputy FBI Director #DanBongino added that the agency would 'be investigating and pursuing all available leads for assault on a federal officer.'

    " 'We will not forget. Even after you try to,' Bongino added.

    "The statements ring a little hollow when one remembers that just a few months ago the president pardoned not only individuals who spit on cops, but who outright assaulted them. Miller, Patel, Bongino, and other administration figures have largely excused their actions and demonized the #BidenAdministration for pursuing legal action against the rioters. "

    This was a surprise, a January 6th rioter declined Trump’s pardon;

    “ Pamela Hemphill, who served prison time for actions she took on Jan. 6, 2021, said she will not accept President Trump’s pardon and that his supporters were “wrong” for storming the Capitol four years ago.

    “Accepting a pardon would only insult the Capitol Police officers, rule of law and, of course, our nation,” Hemphill told the BBC.” thehill.com/regulation/court-b

  6. DT: Hey, Mike, my “itching ears” are telling me that you’re too honest. Can you believe that? It’s like that Alanis Morissette song. Isn’t it ironic?

  7. “I wish I had a ‘Wagner Group,’ instead of those goofy Proud Boys and those low-energy Oath Keepers. If I did, I’d still be in the Oval Office.”
    ~ Trump*

    * He isn’t known to have said this, but you can confidently bet that he’s been thinking it.

  8. Pence knows how it feels to fear you; you’re a thug who “allegedly” called him a “pussy”.

    Pence will inevitably testify before a grand jury re election interference and your attempted coup. You may manage to delay his testimony, but not for long.

    Do tell, Mr. Trump, what’s it like to really fear a man you’ve “allegedly” called a “pussy”?
