The @ACLU, (to whom I've been donating for over 30 years), wants Johnny Depp, a victim of spousal abuse, to pay over $86,000 for producing 3 or 4 documents that show they got stiffed by Amber Heard!

Wtf? So the ACLU is suing Johnny Depp!? This is shady shit I have ever seen from an organisation – (who by the way conspired with Amber Heard writing the Op-Ed about JD) and supports AH as an domestic abuser. This is so wrong. #ACLUsupportsAbusers #JusticeForJohnnyDepp https://t.co/YZyugVccRB

ACLU can't go after Amber Turd for her pledged $3.5 million as it will embarrass the fck out of them, so they are suing Johnny Depp for partial in name of being "reimbursed"! They are ghetto AF. Don't know who is worse, them or psychopath gold digging Turd! #ACLUsupportsAbusers

Been ACLU member for years but after UK hearing forq Heard V Depp hearing, when they kept her on & the whole op-ed thing, I didn't renew. JD should sue them for being a party to this Defecation Defamation case.
