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.

    The god of all crybullies.

    He says whatever the fuck he wants about all of them because he’s the president and everything he does is legal…but sues everybody over the most trivial shit…and wins because he’s got the most powerful lawyers in the world.

    Isn’t that about the normal interval it takes for him to progress from one coherent thought to the next?

    It doesn’t matter that it won’t go anywhere.

    The point is, next time a journalist wants to say something unfavourable, their producer / legal depth will gag them.
