With him suing in his personal capacity, that should mean that Mr. Thompson is funding this effort personally.

Thank You Congressman Thompson, hold them accountable!

What an idiot. And what a waste of tax payers dollars.

Good for Bennie, but good luck collecting a dime from that dead beat loser. Next bankruptcy pending in 3...2...1...

There's always been a few tools missing from Bernie's tool box

Bennie bein' Bennie. I hope he gets somebody to help him who can compose sentences and speak The King's English before the court. He's never done a damned thing but play the race card, travel on junkets and become a millionaire. Goin' out with a bang Ain't he?

What a legacy. The Republic Of New Bennie.

Name three things this congressman has accomplished in 30 years. Two?

Politico poll out today has Trump swamping the field in the '24 GOP primary.

@3:11pm - I agree, the entire last four years was a giant waste of taxpayer dollars.

I am sure Big Baller Bennie has several attorneys willing to take his case pro bono. Trump doesn't want to face a jury anywhere, much less one in D.C. Trump and Rudi are hated there.

I told the wife today we should call Morgan and Morgan - that #1Law number on TV and ask them if they are such good lawyers, could they find some insurance company or rich person to sue for us and get us some of the BIG BUCKS!!!!

Sadly, she said it doesn't work that way.

Ahhh, the Democrat playbook. Keep talking about it to divert from doing your job. It’s basically a publicity stunt at this point, but only the dumbasses in his district think anything will come of it. Please check back with me if anything ever happens. Cliff notes: it won’t. Keep pandering Bennie, that’s about the only think you’ve done for your constituents.

Don't rush to judgment, and don't underestimate Congressman Thompson.

He's very good at what he knows.

However, holding some awesome fish frys in Bolton, Utica and Edwards
are a tad bit different than suing a former President.

But not to worry, he has Derrick Johnson on his team.

Go Bennie, go! Mississippi should be proud of one of our congressmen pursing these racists in court. I hope he will prevail and expose all of their misdeeds.

Lol. AOC knew about the riots a week in advance. How? Pelosi denied capital police national guard as back up. Why?

Discovery will be a biatch, Mr. Thompson. You will likely be told to drop this case or do arkancide.

Bone head Bennie needs to go home.

Someone needs to stop Trump. He gave more funding to HBU than any other president and the newly elected President Biden ended it immediately (but with little fanfare).I'm glad Bennie is going after the racist man who gave so much to Black universities and supporting the non-racist Biden who ended all that funding....

Were I the Great Man himself, I should be more afraid of criminal process, which is not to say this is not an interesting development. 

Remember, the civil standard of proof is a mere preponderance. AND can you imagine the demographics of a DC jury?  Can you imagine?

Violation of the Ku Klux Klan Act? Are kidding me? Good for Mr. Thompson, whom I have long regarded as an utter moron. "Even a blind hog," as they say.

So far as tax-payer's dollars -- for what? This is a "one call, that's all" case. We don't get paid until you get paid.

KF you made my day!

If you're a star you can just grab 'em by the px$$y, ain't nothing they can do about it. Kinda funny how stuff works out.

I would bet my left nut that this lawsuit goes absolutely nowhere. Bennie Thompson has been in office for 3 decades and his district is still among the poorest in the nation.

Must be cause of the white man!

Sorry but didn’t the former leader of the Senate, senator McConnell say in his closing remarks Saturday that Trump could and should face justice in the court system!

Name three things this congressman has accomplished in 30 years. Two?

Bennie has two accomplishments over his career that he can proudly point to:

1-Picked up his paycheck.
2-Ate lunch.

New TV game show.
Take two people of average intelligence and fill their mouth with bubble gum, cotton balls and peanut butter.
Put them on one side.
Take Bennie and Stokes.
Put them on the other side.
Let each side talk and see which ones you can understand what they are saying.
If you get it right, you win !

Does anyone genuinely believe Thompson thought this up himself? He's just a puppet in a play. Nothing will come of it. Screencap this.

4:37 PM: By way of background on Mr Trump's claims relating to HBCUs, Mr Trump signed a bill passed by Congress with bipartisan support which increased funding for HBCUs. The December, 2019 bill known as the "FUTURE Act" made permanent $255 million in annual STEM funding for minority-serving colleges, including roughly $85 million specifically allocated to HBCUs. In addition, Secretary of Education, Betsy DeVos, cancelled the repayment of more than $300 million in federal relief loans that four historically black colleges took out after Hurricanes Katrina and Rita hit in 2005. Congress also increased funding for the Strengthening Historically Black Colleges program, which is part of Title III. Yes, there were increases in funding in his administration, but these actions were accomplished with Democratic party support.

I am unaware of any action by Mr Biden to cut HBCU funding. In fact, he has spoken of increasing such support.

Mr. Trump's record of racism dates from the 1970s to 2020. Too numerous to go into details here, but this record exists if you care to search for it.

@5:33 He is about to pick up a big check thanks to the morons being sued. How can he lose call McConnell to the stand. Trump raised 250 million off of a bunch of suckers, Bennie shouldn't have a problem collecting. Heck he might even get Mara Lago!

What Uncle Bennie hasn’t yet realized along with the other morons on this board is the Orange Man isn’t President anymore. And that the garbage impeachment hearings wouldn’t even be allowed in a real courtroom. Being a private citizen Bad Orange Man can sue back. Add that to fact that Orange Man has a bit of money himself. Just maybe he’s extremely pissed that every (Wrestling is Real Democrat) has lied their asses off about him for the last four years and cost him the election. Uncle Ben can go right ahead and piss on the electrical outlet all he wants. It won’t be him footing the bill when Trump shoves this up his worthless ass.

* Sorry but didn’t the former leader of the Senate, senator McConnell say in his closing remarks"

McConnell was on season one of the " Walking Dead"
He was the first corpse to be reanimated.

Without term limits on the Hill, Bennie is not going anywhere. He is going to keep riding the gravy train he has with a constituent base apparently happy to have someone representing them who has accomplished little during his years in D.C. We can count on him to keep Mississippi on the bottom.

He should have expanded his case to include Pelosi and Schumer who were supposedly warned in advance and denied a request for national guard support.

Just think when Bennie is retired or dies in office Little Chokwe will be your next congressman.

For at least the next two years the Democrats are determined to keep Trump on the defensive. If they do nothing with any substance they will at least keep branding Trump as long as possible. No one is better equipped than Bennie. He has no mandate to do anything for his district. He can concentrate all his notoriety and efforts on harassing the Trump movement. Nobody can threaten him and no one holds him accountable for any lack of progress. Have fun Bennie!

I don't understand why this suit was brought in the plaintiff's personal capacity, alleging he was prevented from performing his official duties. Maybe I'm missing something. That said, at first blush, I think this action may have legs.

On another note, It seems like a lot of extremists and crackpots are based out of Texas. I'm not sure why they feel so welcome there.

Bet that Benny is in Nancy's doghouse now. Nancy is going to have a 'commission' to find the truth. You can bet it will be like the Muller witch hunt: within a couple of weeks Muller had to know that no crime had been committed, yet they still pretended to be looking for something for three years. And in all that time failed to even ask about FISA court fraud, FBI corruption, and all the things that actually happened. So while Nancy is overseeing this, Benny will be in a real court where you have to have real evidence. The President will mount and real defense where Nancy will have to explain why she refused his offer of national guard troops. Trump will investigate the role of Antifa and the Dim party in escalating this. Don't know what they will find, but at least they will look. Benny can only start this suit, he can't control it. Nancy can't be happy.

I love to see y'all KLUCKERS Upset. Congressman Thompson is doing what y'all should have done 5 years ago, send that Con-Man back to NY. He screwed the entire republican party. He exposed all you Kluckers and Supremacists. I can't believe a party that suppose to stand for family values, a conservative government, and equal rights would support someone that has no values. Y'all can do better than him.

I hope Bennie takes every dime y'all idiots sent him. Lock-him-up!

4:36 and 6:53, Actually, the Sergeant-at-Arms of the House admitted that he never conveyed the requests for back-up from the Capital Police Chief to Nancy Pelosi.

So this means Bennie and other Congress critters can be deposed under oath. Ruh-roh, maybe they didn’t think this through.

Bennie's catfish are decent ( a little greasy, but decent). His hushpuppies are very good . . . but my word . . .
the man knows how to cook buffalo ribs.

And I'm referring to the "buffalo fish" . . . ( not a Bison ).

I think most of Bennie T's political fish fries have been rated 5 stars on tripadvisor.

But taking Trump to court ???

Gawd that will be funny.

Depos
Will
Be
Exciting

No taxpayer funds in this suit. NAACP footing the bill.

Interesting law firm: sued Google/Steve Wynn/DACA decision by Trump/ Disney and others.

I guess this means the Delta is fixed! Good job Bennie. Take care of your district.

Time for the very stable genius to not remember a thing while testifying. There’s a reason he has refused to testify so far in every single case, he’s a liar all the way to the core, no potential consequence will keep him from perjuring himself.

This trial will make SNL look like a bible study class. As the whole parade of right wing losers like Trump, the crackhead pillow guy, Rudy, QAnon Lady, Tommy Tubberville, the alien semen doctor, and the proud white boys all try to come up with the same story. Get your popcorn ready, it’s gonna be a comedy event for the ages.

@4:37 I have never seen so many people believe the lies of one man with so much enthusiasm. I guess the $4 billion in funding HBCUs received under Obama never happened. And that $250 million that HBCUs received under trump was an act of Congress. He didn’t do any work on it all he did was sign the bill (kinda like what he did with everything else). And under trump funding for scientific research at HBCUs dropped by 17% and he was trying to cut funding for TRIO programs which would have hurt HBCUs the most

“The only words the president contributed were his signature” -Rep. Alma Adams

Ah, 1:04, If Trump were a racist, as you people claim, he would have vetoed it instead of signing it the day it hit his desk. Please learn to connect dots while you're cruising the stalls in the men's room at Saltine's in The Fondren.

As to your claim that 'all he did was sign stuff', have you paid attention over the past thirty days?

LOL @1:04 All he did was sign it. You mean the only part that matters.

My guess is Trump’s defense team will seek sanctions for the filing of a frivolous case.

Does no one see the irony of RNA Bennie speaking about antigov insurrectionists?
Kingfish, you like diggin through old papers and publishing interesting flashbacks.
That’d be a good topic to look up and post- that Bolton, MS, capitol of the new Kush republic with local newspapers photos of armed revolutionaries and sentries circa 1970.
After Lewis St., Bennie wised up and figured it was more lucrative to go through the gov than against it.
