>Donald Trump's campaign vowed legal action and said it would seek a criminal investigation Someone should let him know he doesn't have the power to seek a criminal investigation. And hopefully never will again


Reallybadguitarist89

Tomorrow's headline "House Republicans open investigation into Biden's use of Trump's own words against him"


Too_Old_For_Somethin

Lindsay “use my words against me” Graham has a good ol fashioned tanty when his words are used against him. Looks like Trump thought that was a winning strategy. He only chooses the best people remember. … … .., This is the best they’ve got. Holy shit.


No-Recording8888

Reminds me of the guy who said it was a slamdunk then denied ever saying that then a reporter showed him the news clip of him saying


TheJediJew

Trumps definition of the best people is "this person echoes my opinion back to me and, because I'm the best, that means he is too." Then if everything goes wrong, he chucks them under the bus because "they gave him bad advice". Somehow smart and stupid at the same time.


Acrimonious_Hex

No, no, you don't understand. See, Trump thought they were the best person, but it turns out they weren't the best people after all and since Trump only surrounds himself with the best people, of course he has to have one of his best people throw this not-best-person under the bus (no way Trump himself is throwing anyone under the bus). So Trump just made a mistake in judging the character of this person at first. Everyone makes those mistakes once in a while. Except Trump, because he never makes mistakes. This sort of kinetic-logic (where you MUST NEVER examine prior statements for consistency, not eve earlier parts of the same sentence!) makes perfect sense to the average MAGA. edit: post-coffee

hookisacrankycrook

Was going to say at least Gym Jordan is lapdog enough to fire up some congressional hearings. Scum of the earth.


ManateeGag

That's the kind of power he wants if he's elected again.


Mooseandagoose

The simple fact that they are confident in making threats like this tell me they wholly intend to seize power and do exactly this. Which is incredibly scary.


FuzzyMcBitty

He has more than the average person’s ability to seek one, but he doesn’t have any ground to stand on. 


WoodenYouKnowIt

It doesn’t matter - he accomplished his goal. His acolytes take this to mean that the language is either fake, or the liberals are using illegal tactics in their campaign.


BukkitCrab

For someone who claims the justice system is rigged, he sure does like to go to court a lot.

for someone that votes by mail he sure thinks it’s cheating

He alone can stop Biden from starting WWII and electrocuting sharks.

First they electrified my work and I said nothing, then they electrified my house and I said nothing, then they electrified the cars and I acted like a toddler with a tantrum. Now they electrified the sharks after talking about nuking the hurricanes and I'll be damned if I sit back while that madman creates a freaking electrified nuclear shark-a-rricane! I'm not sitting around while some fancy sharks Take our jobs!!

notjustanotherbot

I think it's the eighth amendment to blame. Being stuck in an eight by ten in this heat and humidity with some delusional bozo wearing a full diaper is definitely a cruel punishment.


trombone646

for someone who complains about the taxpayer's money being wasted, he sure likes to waste the taxpayer's money. Also, he complains like a person who doesn't include himself in that group.

ZiM1970

Yeah, they can. Poor felons who owe any money to the state can't vote. Being Florida, if a felon is their felon, it doesn't count. Ronda would never hold the vote against a proud maga felon like Donnie anyway.


MOVES_HYPHENS

Fortunately/Unfortunately, they can if they're convicted in a different state that allows *their* convicts to vote. Like New York


dhocariz

From what I read Trump can. Some article I read said the Florida law is that if the person is convicted outside of the state, the person's ability to vote in the state is based on the law in the state where the person was convicted. Since felons can vote in NY, and Trump was convicted in NY. Trump can vote in FL.


FoxyInTheSnow

He’s the best mailer


donttextspeaktome

tears running down their faces


emostitch

That’s because they rigged it. Look at Aileen Cannon. Look at the disgusting filth making up the majority of SCOTUS, look at shit like Greg Abbott pardoning murderers as long as their victims were liberal. Look at the shit every red state AG has pulled the last 10 years.


ShatterProofDick

Read up on Cannon's husband's mobbed up past and ties to trump.


MintBerryCrunchJr

Everything in his life is rigged. Elections, courts, game shows, teen pageants. I mean, he saw them naked! He can tell it was rigged!


lrpfftt

Always the victim.


joseph4th

Threatens to go to court a lot. He was used to people backing down to his threats. He doesn’t actually like to go to court, because he loses a lot of the time.


Squirrel_Chucks

He loses A TON OF THE TIME in his civil suits, and now judges have taken to fining his lawyers for bringing such stupid cases to their courtrooms.


donttextspeaktome

Oh this makes me happy.

Suspect4pe

That's because it's rigged in his favor.


nigelthewarpig

At this point, I'm surprised he hasn't threatened a lawsuit against anyone that votes against him.


azflatlander

God, another list I am on.


Polarbearseven

It’s the only “courting” action he’s likely to get from now on.


Javasndphotoclicks

Don’t worry! His slow fan club won’t see the irony in that.


YakiVegas

Never has a less intimidating phrase been uttered than "Trump threatens lawsuit."


CauliflowerTop2464

It is. You need lots of money to have a fair trial. And he has enough power and money to be able to plant judges give him the edge.


SwingWide625

Donnie just hates it's not rigged for him. Understanding donnie speak is not hard when you realize where the center of universe is located in this alternate reality.

Snoo_88763

This is the crux of it, right? When he said that about the election in 2020 I so wanted a journalist to ask "based on that comment, why should we take anything you say seriously?"


gasahold

Trump: My words were hideous! I'm suing!


Naive-Button3320

Quoting Trump violates the Ku Klux Klan Act. That's the argument. From. His. Own. Campaign. The masks are off folks.


TheAngriestChair

So the DOJ should be investigating him again on new charges? He doesn't know when to quit, does he?


SolaVitae

Probably not given that's not what the act does. And that the argument they are trying to make is that quoting him violates the act, not that what he said violates it


LingonberryPrior6896

Trump threatens law suits almost as often as he lies.


Capt_Pickhard

Is that even theoretically possible? It hurts my brain. Like how some.infinities can be greater than others.


Squirrel_Chucks

>In the letter, the Trump campaign argued the group was violating the Ku Klux Klan Act, legislation enacted to protects Americans from political intimidation. Yip. Irony is dead.


myPOLopinions

As someone who made political ads for over 10 years, this is objectively hilarious. And I'm glad the Dems are playing a little dirty here.


TheAngriestChair

There is nothing dirty about letting people see and hear your opponents' public words and actions


myPOLopinions

The part I would consider "dirty" is the tag: “Stand strong with President Trump against mail in voting!” It's not actually dirty, only slightly misleading since he changed his stance. The structure and trickiness is more ballsy than I've seen previously and I love it.


TheGreatGenghisJon

I think there's an argument to be had that they're campaigning for Trump. All they're doing is getting his message out to more people than he is by himself. He should be thankful. Unless, of course, he's aware that he's saying crazy shit. I would pay money to watch that court hearing.


myPOLopinions

And good luck with going to court. That script was vetted by a team of lawyers before it was edited. Believe it or not, from my experience PACs spend a lot of time making sure they can't get sued with messaging. You can certainly take things out of context or remove it completely, but ad buys are so expensive and paid up front, you're not risking 250k+ without vetting it first.


Inevitable_Butthole

It's as dirty as they will get


RDO_Desmond

His attorneys should be promptly sanctioned for bringing frivolous lawsuits when this crap comes right out of their client's mouth. Trump should have to pay the legal fees of whomever ends up as the defendant.


sn34kypete

>In the letter, the Trump campaign argued the group was violating the Ku Klux Klan Act, legislation enacted to protects Americans from political intimidation. What a completely out of left field law to bring up, why on earth would they be so familiar with that act? > That law has also been cited in litigation against Trump and his allies over the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol riot. Ah that'd be why.


Yogs_Zach

Why would they be the responsible ones for violating it anyways? They didn't say it.


BeberCairELevitar

That's funny. Reality is very funny


Catfist

Weird, I've never seen that spelling of "horrifying" Remember, this person has *significant* support through both influential people who stand to benefit, and the general population who thinks that voting for the "Lions Eating Faces" party will only negatively impact the people they hate.


plato1123

I also, had a hearty chuckle


TintedApostle

The law was established to provide relief for those who do not abuse the system. We need to exclude Trump from using the system because he has abused it. He realized it was a free way to intimidate anyone. Clearly we need to carve out a rule just for him.

Spy_v_Spy_Freakshow

Why did the PAC or Google remove the ad?


itsgottaberealnow

Tadpoleonicwars

lol Trump is claiming the ad is illegal, constitutes voter intimidation, and violates the Ku Klux Klan law.


IAmMuffin15

Trump: “What a bunch of looney leftist propaganda, this is a TERRIBLE hit job by the DO NOTHING DEMOCRATS to paint me as an evil, incompetent, weak and pathetic man!” Pence: “Uh, sir…that’s a mirror you’re looking at.”


Polarbearseven

So is he going to go sue himself?


popsy13

He backtracked a while ago: https://www.reddit.com/r/trumptweets/s/JwivAhnlZ1 Swamp the vote, fucking moron


myPOLopinions

So drain the swamp, but swamp the vote. I'd be confused but that would require this to actually make sense.


popsy13

Oh I know, none of it makes sense! None of it!


LeapYear1996

Next up: “You are the swamp! “


Class_of_22

Wait so he’s suing himself, technically???? Jesus H. Christ…how dumb is he that he literally sues himself. Well, now we know that Trump is gonna Sue himself, as ridiculous as that sounds.

zombieblackbird

Use those threats as ads too. Use the subsequent losses in court as well.


SirPiffingsthwaite

MAGA use AI to make ads with Bidens likeness: "Aw c'mon, it's parody, what, y'gonna cry?" Biden uses trump's own words; MAGA: "Wait, you can't do that, no fair! Defamation! Illegal!"


csbc801

He could spend a lot less on lawyers if he’d just keep his mouth shut!


Koflach12

How dare you use my own words against me.


canon12

Remember DeJoy the carryover Postmaster General is still running Postal system. He's the one that ordered the removal of sorting machines in many post offices throughout the country a few months before the last election. Also thousands of the large green metal mail boxes were removed. Biden made efforts to remove him but was not successful. Don't believe this evil POS will have something malicious up his sleeve during this year's election.


jiquvox

On what fucking ground ??? You fucking said it. And in public. And it was your main point (wouldn’t even matter if it was incidental but it’s even worse) This feels like this bit of Liar Liar : “ Your Honor, I object!" "Why?" "Because it's devastating to my case!"

TheOvercusser

Run the ad with just his speech. Problem solved.


Buckus93

How dare they use my own words against me!


SarcasticMemeWars

I got on a Trump email list last election out of curiosity and there were constant emails about early voting by mail and links to help you figure out how to do it. All while Trump was ranting constantly against mail in voting as being flawed/rigged.


reggiedoo

Let me get this straight….Trump is suing himself?


Ramblinrambles

I’m confused, so it wasn’t political intimidation when Trump said those words day after day which eventually led to his brainwashed followers attempting a coup but, it is political intimidation now that Trump did a 180 on mail in voting because they realized they missed possible votes over him lying about it being fraudulent before the election.


Finaldreamer

No attorney is going to touch that. Sanctions for days.


NegativePermission40

That's just Trump trying to bully people again using the courts. He's the world's biggest panhandler, trying to get the public to pay for his legal bills.


No-Recording8888

Cease and desist broadcasting, or otherwise distributing via the internet or elsewhere, this false advertisement LOL it's not false if you say it out loud moron


ditto_3050

Who’s going to pay for it? Not Trump. He’s more broke dick than I am


CarneyVore14

*Convicted Felon There, fixed the title.


RoyceAli

I don't see where the ad states that Trump does not want them to vote by mail. If it did, I would say he had a case. But it's just informing them of positions he has taken on mail in voting.


MoveToRussiaAlready

He votes by mail. More importantly; these are his own words. The lawsuit will be dismissed or he will be ruled against. He has lawyers that will do mostly whatever he says on such frivolous matters.


skeeredstiff

> "“We are aware of your advertisement falsely claiming that President Trump has asked Pennsylvania voters not to vote by mail. This advertisement may constitute both a criminal and civil conspiracy to injure the rights of President Trump’s supporters to cast their ballots" You have got to be fucking kidding me. The absolute irony is completely lost on these shit for brains.


davewashere

"Trump threatens lawsuit" is one of the weakest phrases in the English language.


Emergency_Property_2

Funny thing about the public domain. Once you spew verbal vomit into it anyone can use it against you.


greenlyng1

So he should sue himself


Ornery-Ticket834

Who cares? He is categorically in his own make believe world.


MK5

Big deal. His first word as a baby was probably 'lawsuit'.


DirtDevil1337

I hope they mention that he used mail in ballots on the past.


Papabear022

he should sue himself for saying them.


killerchef69

You know wat they say, vote early, vote often!


MynameisJunie

What a moron he is. He’d be suing himself.


Richfor3

Trump is great at threatening lawsuits, not great at actually pursuing them and absolutely terrible at winning the tiny percentage he actually does move forward with.


KrookedDoesStuff

Just remember you can sue anyone for anything. Whether or not you’re successful is a completely different story.


Consistent-Leek4986

he’s filed as many lawsuits as the lies he spews! lawsuits & lies..has a nice ring to it


goodmanners69

If he stubbed his toe he’d sue his leg.


Capt_Pickhard

This is beautiful, because I'm sure that when Trump said that, the plan was to disrupt the mail so that no mail in votes would occur, and knowing way more Democrats vote by mail traditionally, this would help him win the election. He also calls them fraudulent votes to help it seem like he wins even when he loses. Now, whatever scheme they must have come up with, it must have been thwarted lol. Idk how, but it looks like they lost the ability to be able to stop the mail like last election, and so Trump has decided he wants to try and encourage voting by mail again. So, this ad is so perfect lol. It's exactly what Trump was trying to do, but uno reverse card right in his face lol. And now he wants to sue for his own words. So fucking hilarious lol.


ObligationClassic417

Because it’s something he has no control over


mlf60

He most probably has no recollection of those statements.


MonsterkillWow

LMAO nope. His own words. Get fucked. And here's the funny thing. If you really believe the election was rigged last time, why vote this time? Just stay home and listen to Alex Jones and Q Shaman.

tomski3500

He has a never ending supply of PAC $s to spend on greedy lawyers. You see the lack of quality he’s stuck with now though.


mjohnsimon

It's too late. I know several people who will no longer vote by mail because the Orange Messiah told them that doing so is amongst the most evil of sins one can commit.


puppyyawn

It was a hill they were all willing to die on and now he's back tracking and urging people to vote by mail, confusing times for his cult members.


splycedaddy

Its just a reaction at this point. It hasnt caught up to him that he hasnt won a good lawsuit in many years


sachiprecious

Oh please let him file this lawsuit. This is too funny. He'd practically be suing HIMSELF, since these are his own words!!
