Holy smoke on DJT's ass!!! Judge Mehta has delivered one of the longest and most scathing ass rippin' spankings in his 112 page ruling to date, that rejected DJT's many lawsuits fighting to avoid being responsible for the 1/6 assault on our Capitol. WOW!! Finally, to read the words by a judge that pretty much fingers DJT as a major culprit.

Enjoy POLITICO's article titled 'Judge rejects Trump effort to toss lawsuits accusing him of Jan. 6 conspiracy' - I sure the hell did!

“[T]he President’s January 6 Rally Speech can reasonably be viewed as a call for collective action,” Mehta wrote. “The President’s regular use of the word ‘we’ is notable. To name just a few examples: ‘We will not take it anymore’; ‘We will stop the steal’; ‘We will never give up’; ‘We will never concede’; ‘We will not take it anymore’; ‘All Mike Pence has to do is send it back to the states to recertify, and we become president.’”



“Importantly, it was the President and his campaign’s idea to send thousands to the Capitol while the Certification was underway. It was not a planned part of the rally. In fact, the permit expressly stated that it did ‘not authorize a march from the Ellipse,’” Mehta wrote.

“From these alleged facts, it is at least plausible to infer that, when he called on rally-goers to march to the Capitol, the President did so with the goal of disrupting lawmakers’ efforts to certify the Electoral College votes,” he continued. “The Oath Keepers, the Proud Boys, and others who forced their way into the Capitol building plainly shared in that unlawful goal.”
 
Tell it like it is Mehta !
THe other BS in the trump argument was that it was a question of seperation of powers. He addressed that part too !
 
Of course he did. He did it right there out in the open, while a whole lot more went on behind the scenes, which we're just learning about now.

But gaslighting is all about telling you that you didn't see and hear what you saw and heard. About telling such brazen lies that the other party might question whether they really have gotten everything horribly wrong.
