Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing other users of being bots or paid actors.
  3. No memes, trolling, misinformation, or low-effort posts/comments (including reposts). If you see posts like this that anger you, do not engage. Report, block, and live a happier life than they do. Any slap-fight is subject to comment removals. Fights full of rule violations will result in temporary bans to cool off.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users. The reason(s) behind moderator action(s) are publicly available through the Modlog.

Network wants to serve Jared Kushner, Ivanka Trump and Donald Trump Jr after president sues over January 6 documentary

The BBC is trying to subpoena Donald Trump’s children as it builds its defense against the president’s defamation lawsuit centered on a documentary on the January 6 insurrection.

In a motion filed on Friday, the BBC sought authorization to serve Trump’s two eldest children, Donald Trump Jr and Ivanka Trump, and son-in-law Jared Kushner, with subpoenas for testimony and their records on the events of 6 January 2021.

The BBC, its lawyers wrote in court documents, is entitled to discover Trump’s “intention behind the speech and anything that bears on the impression his audience could have reasonably obtained in listening to the speech”, which includes whether Trump “gave it intentionally or otherwise; the breadth of the audience of the message and impression; and the extent of any resulting injury or harm”.

They're not children. 'Spawn' is a more apt word, I reckon.

All of them. Although I suspect Ivanka has already had experience with one of these varieties.

I hope Uday and Qusay and his other son and his daughter and his wife and his in-laws ALL go to prison. Not sure about Tiffany and what she may be involved with.

Tiff's also a right cunt too.

Someone needs to make cards of all these criminals.

Wow. That is an image right there. Crap on a cracker.

I don't remember that from the time, but I don't think I actively watched this dipshit's inauguration. My first impression was: "this has to be AI, it looks like something from North Korea or some other shithole regime".

I guess we are the shithole regime now...

Nothing's going to change.
