I feel like wearing a shirt critical of Trump and walking past the reflecting pool right now might be an effective way to bait a federal thug into doing something you could sue the government over.

Sue and lose.

IANAL, but it’s a hypothetical (and a joke). If you get charged with vandalizing the pool or beaten for no other reason than wearing a shirt, you could probably win that lawsuit. There’s a lot of things they could do to ‘punish’ you that you couldn’t win a lawsuit over, like detaining.

4 cops saw you “pouring a liquid into the pool”.
Their witness accounts don’t match up but the judge believes them anyway.

My mom died in early 2024, and my sister and I are still in a legal battle for her bank account against the cult she was a member of. Her bank account had my sister and I listed as beneficiaries, and the will made no mention of the cult that would override that, and yet the cult was still able to put a freeze on the accounts and fight us for over 2 years and $50k in legal fees so far, just because they made an unfounded claim to the money. If a bunch of idiots who think vaccines have tracking chips in them can do that, I imagine the government can do a lot more.
