Less than two weeks after paying E. Jean Carroll $5.6 million tied to a civil sexual abuse and defamation case, President Donald Trump is asking for the money back.

Trump’s legal team is seeking an emergency injunction that would force Carroll to return the amount she was paid following a judge’s July 8 ruling that ordered the payment process to begin, according to The Independent.

    It took less than 10,000 people to almost overthrow the government on January 6th. A few million of you should easily be able to overthrow the tyranny that you’ve all enabled.

      Maybe, but 1. Those 10,000 had the backing of the president (which means the military wasn’t called in to stop it) and they didn’t even get close to overthrowing the government, they just delayed the inevitable and 2. How do you propose millions of people organize to do something like that without law enforcement stepping in to shut it down?

      This isn’t the 19th century, or even the 20th. Everything is under surveillance and military power is orders of magnitude more advanced than what’s available to civilians. A civilian force can maybe work defending their homes with guerilla warfare, but marching on the capitol?

      Trump didnt send help to the capital police. Thats why it was not more bloody. He wanted it to be just enough to breach the building and kill Pence.
