Grant had sued Trump in 2020, over a campaign tweet — a crudely-drawn, 55-second animation that showed then-presidential candidate Joe Biden feebly puttering along a railroad track in a push cart while a high-speed "Trump-Pence" train zoomed past.

About 40 seconds of "Electric Avenue" plays as part of the soundtrack.

How could you think you'd get away with this?

The video was viewed more than 13.7 million times, was liked more than 350,000 times, and was retweeted more than 139,000 times, the judge wrote.

Holy shit. You're definitely not getting away with this.

His strategy has been to outrun his legal issues until they fail or he dies. I really hope he sees the inside of a cell before he dies, but I'd also take him choking on lunch and dying right now. Prefer prison, though.

He'll never see the inside of a cell. He's an ex president. He might be confined to his home, but I doubt even that.

This world sucks.

At least he'll always have Kid Rock and Ted Nugent.

Let's see him make "jailbait" his campaign theme song.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 days ago

That would be very fitting.

Has this guy ever won a case?

[–] [email protected] 15 points 4 days ago

Only the ones where he could judge shop like the classified documents.

I hope that bitch gets whats coming to her (career..not mortality)

He has conceptually won a case

[–] [email protected] 21 points 4 days ago (1 children)

He got sick of winning so he stopped

[–] [email protected] 24 points 4 days ago

He’s got the concept of winning

[–] [email protected] 41 points 4 days ago

I heard he got a case of syphilis

When his judges are presiding, yes.

This is one of the best things I never knew I wanted that I’ve come across in a while.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 days ago
