The BBC faces a potential $5 billion lawsuit from Donald Trump over a misleading Jan. 6 documentary clip, but legal action is risky, costly, and could threaten the broadcaster’s survival despite its apology. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/commentary/2025/11/18/world/bbc-gambles-with-trump-scandal/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #commentary #worldnews #bbc #donaldtrump #jan6 #freespeech

Under DOJ standards and requirements, people seeking pardons generally must wait five years after release, demonstrate good conduct and remorse, and file petitions through the Office of the Pardon Attorney.
Trump has largely abandoned that process.

Trump now claims people like Merrick Garland and Jack Smith rigged the 2020 election.
These people were not appointed by Biden before he was inaugurated in 2021. But Trump wants us to believe, that while he was president, these people were able to rig an election spanning 50 states while working their civilian jobs.

It's beyond embarrassing that his staff never STOP his FAKE NEWS
Tolling Data
"The process 'was not a #wiretap,' said Cheryl Bader, a Fordham University clinical associate law professor. 'What was sought was basically a record of phone numbers dialed from a specific phone number.'"
#Factchecking #JoshHawley claims that the #FBI ‘tapped’ his and other senators’ phones
"Every day, we see the same pattern of delusion, deception, projection. As former President Obama once said, the presidency doesn’t change who you are, it magnifies who you are. And Donald Trump has shown us, in high definition, exactly who he is: a fraud amplified by power and politicians who refuse to stand up to him as he wrecks the country."

Donald Trump suggested that the 'Biden FBI' placed 274 FBI agents into the crowd on January 6, 2021. Trump, not Joe Biden, was President on January 6th. If Biden confused himself with Donald Trump, they would call for the 25th Amendment."

Trump and his cult, including many Republican office-holders, have been egging on political violence -- aimed at the left -- for years. They are NOT opposed to political violence.
Our "mainstream" journalists seem mostly unwilling to provide that context in their coverage at the moment.
@dangillmor
#Jan6 was the biggest act of #politicalviolence in our nation's history.
His proud doing.
This could be us but eggs were too expensive and her laugh annoyed you https://apple.news/AMaibz8wATRWKiPNXQY0mPg
@Cdespinosa
Which is why BFF #TrumpVirus so loves the guy - he used the terrific #Jan6 playbook and said nice things about the Donald.
And our toddler king - poor baby - cannot grant a pardon. Not to worry, he'll find a way and continue to give prizes for #evil - and praise for hate, tyranny, #corruption, #crime and anything he feels a kindred ( #narcissism / #psychopathology ) kinship with.
Lord Retribution's credo:
No good deed goes unpunished.
No evil deed goes unrewarded.

See the man circled here? That's E.J. Antoni, Trump's Bureau of Labor Statistics nominee, walking through a crowd of Capitol rioters.
We've got an archive of 500+ Parler videos taken during Jan. 6. You can spot Antoni starting at around 1:41 here: https://projects.propublica.org/parler-capitol-videos/?id=nkL4Fpk5C8U1
