Donald Trump Jr. Social Media WTF?!

Donald Trump Jr. Says He ‘Waited In Bread Lines’ When He Was A Kid

Poor Donald Trump Jr. Even though he was born with a platinum spoon in his mouth and has never worked a day in his life (unless you count cheating on the mother of his five children as “work”), he wants us to feel sorry for him and believe that he cares about the average working American.

Appearing on the Newsmax show of Nazi sympathizer Seb Gorka, Don Jr. was asked about the “empty shelves” in the United States due to a backlog of cargo ships off the coast of California:

“When conservatives say, ‘They’re socialists. The Democrats have gone radical,’ this isn’t an exaggeration, is it? You’ve seen it, Don.”

Spoiled little rich douchebag Donnie Part Deux said he had traveled with his grandparents on his mother, Ivanka’s side, who were born in Czechoslovakia, and seen the horrors of socialism:

“So I traveled with them there every summer, you know, six, eight weeks. I’ve waited in those bread lines. We’re starting to see the empty shelves that I experienced then in communist Czechoslovakia in the ’80s in America right now.”

What Junior conveniently neglected to mention is that after he had seen the bread lines, his grandparents then (probably) took him to the nearest fancy restaurant right before they hopped on the Concorde and jetted back to New York City so Don Jr. could take a shit on a solid gold commode in daddy’s penthouse apartment.

Apparently, Don Jr. is aware the MAGA faithful are so brainwashed that they’ll hear his bullshit lies and sop them up like a biscuit.

But while the braindead Trump cultists are too stupid to question the falsehoods flowing from Junior’s pie hole, most of social media was ready to pelt him with well-deserved mockery. Take a look:

Helpful hint for Don Jr.: Next time you want to whine about how bad you had it as a child, first extract your head from your ass and take some deep breaths before you start farting out lies.

Capitol Insurrection Congress GOP WTF?!

Marjorie Taylor Greene: The Declaration Of Independence Justifies The Capitol Insurrection

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) is proving her complete ignorance of American history yet again by claiming that the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol was completely justified because the Declaration of Independence mentions the right to “overthrow tyrants.

Appearing on the “War Room” podcast hosted by former Trump administration official Steve Bannon, Greene proudly let the world know that her brain is perpetually stuck in idle, remarking:

“If you think about what our Declaration of Independence says, it says to overthrow tyrants. There is a clear difference between Jan. 6 and the Marxist, Communist revolution, the Antifa, BLM, Democrat ground troops waged on the American people in 2020.”

Democrat ground troops? A Communist revolution? When and where did that happen? Apparently, Greene thinks that legal protests over police brutality are the first stage of revolution, and yet if she had any understanding of the document she references, she’d know the right to protest was one the reasons the Founding Fathers chose to break from Great Britain and form their own country without having to pledge obedience to a king.

Greene also told Bannon that what she called the “lies of Blue Anon” and “Democrat media” could “cause someone like me to be killed, or someone like you, Steve, to be killed.”

“They’re the real problem in this country.”

Actually, Marj, lies and bullshit conspiracy theories are the biggest problem in the country. They’re weapons of disinformation that infect the brains of the gullible and lead directly to the sort of violence we saw on Jan. 6.

Greene sounds more rattled and desperate than usual, and that may have a lot to do with a report from Rolling Stone citing two organizers of the Capitol riots who said they had dozens of meetings with members of Congress (including Greene) in the weeks before the Jan. 6 attack.

Bannon is also suspected of having played a major role in the violence at the Capitol and had been indicted by the Justice Department for contempt of Congress after he ignored a subpoena for information and testimony from the the House Select Committee investigating the events of Jan. 6.

Capitol Insurrection Domestic Terrorism Donald Trump

Capitol Rioter Trashes The Donald: ‘Trump Is Not A Leader…He Needs To Go Away!’

Many of the people who showed up in Washington, D.C. on January 6, 2021 and stormed the Capitol have said they did so because they believed they’d been instructed to do so by failed, one-term, twice-impeached President Donald Trump.

As ABC News reported back in February, the lure for some of the rioters was a bizarre, imagined attachment to Trump:

An ABC News investigation into the nearly 200 accused rioters facing federal charges for their alleged involvement at the Capitol — based on court filings, military records, interviews, and available news reports– found that at least fifteen individuals who stormed the building have since said that they acted based on Trump’s encouragement, including some of those accused of the most violent and serious crimes.

Thomas Sibick also thought he was doing what Trump wanted when he marched on the Capitol and attacked law enforcement officers, but now says he can see he was wrong and the ex-president is a cancer on the country.

In a letter he sent to U.S. District Judge Amy Berman Jackson, Sibick writes:

“[The attack was] a disgrace to our nation that left a scar Trump is ultimately responsible for. [Trump] is not a leader and should be ostracized from any political future, what he honestly needs to do is go away! I disagree with what occurred that fateful day, especially the trauma suffered by Officer Michael Fanone, it is without question unconscionable.”

Sibick was released by Judge Jackson until his trial, but under very strict conditions, Ryan Reilly of HuffPost reports:

Overall, Sibick is facing 10 felony counts: Obstruction of an official proceeding, and aiding and abetting; civil disorder; assaulting, resisting or impeding certain officers; robbery; entering and remaining in a restricted building or grounds; disorderly and disruptive conduct in a restricted building or grounds; impeding ingress and egress in a restricted building or grounds; engaging in physical violence in a restricted building or grounds; impeding passage through the Capitol grounds or buildings; and act of physical violence in the Capitol grounds or buildings.

Those are all serious charges and could wind up sending Sibick to prison for years. But at least he appears to have finally seen the light and can admit that the man he and may others once considered a political savior is instead a malignancy who can never be allowed back in power.

Donald Trump does indeed need to “go away.” To prison. And for a very long time.

GOP Ron DeSantis

DeSantis Allegedly Attended Party With Underage Girls And Alcohol While Teaching At High School

Shortly after he graduated from college and prior to attending law school, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis took a job as a history teacher at the Darlington School in Rome, Georgia. His hiring was announced in a 2001 newsletter published by the school:

Ron DeSantis is joining the Upper School history department. DeSantis earned bachelor’s degrees in history and political science from Yale University, New Haven, Conn. While at Yale, he worked for the political science department, the athletic department, and the university sports camp. He has work experience with the Sonic Corporation and the office of Senator Connie Mack.

But it turns out that DeSantis was more than just a teacher while at Darlington, according to Hill Reporter:

His students would have been high school co-eds, teenagers, some of whom would have been living on-campus. According to our whistleblower, he had a reputation among students for being a young “hot teacher” who girls loved, and the girls in the photo are believed to have graduated in 2002, making them seniors at the time.

The photo shows a person purported to be DeSantis, in a group embrace with several young girls, one of whom is holding what appears to be a glass beer bottle. The source who provided the photo says that it was taken prior to graduation — meaning the young girls would still have been DeSantis’ responsibility at the time. It is not clear whether any of them were legal adults, though they would have been too young to purchase alcohol.

Of course, DeSantis isn’t the only Florida politician who seems to have an affinity for young girls. Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) is current the subject of a wide-ranging federal investigation that reportedly involves the congressman taking underage girls across state lines and paying them, which is sexual trafficking of a minor. And that investigation could also wind up ensnaring the governor, who is up for reelection next year:

Still, the investigation may be moving uncomfortably close to the governor’s office. Besides Gaetz himself, the influential Florida political figures under federal scrutiny include Jason Pirozzolo, a hand surgeon and DeSantis campaign donor, and DeSantis’ political appointee Halsey Beshears, the state’s former top business regulator.

DeSantis has yet to respond to the photo or other revelations from Hill Reporter.

Congress Crime Sex Scandals

Matt Gaetz’s Interview With A Florida TV Station Has Made His Legal Situation Much Worse

The best thing anyone who is under investigation for a federal crime can do is keep their head down and mouth shut, especially if they’re facing the prospect of spending the rest of their life in prison.

So it’s safe to say that attorneys for Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) are probably pulling out their hair after the Florida congressman gave an extensive interview to Pensacola television station WEAR in which he commented on the accusations of sexual trafficking that have been leveled against him.

Regarding a report that he had traveled to the Bahamas with a lobbyist and his connections to Jeffrey Greenberg, the former Florida tax collector who has pled guilty to sex trafficking and other felonies, Gaetz remarked:

“I’ve never been to the Bahamas with a lobbyist. That’s not accurate. I was on a trip as many Floridians do to go to the Bahamas. Nothing about that’s criminal. I didn’t do anything criminal while I was there.”
“As for the optics going to a tax collectors office, I’ve never used the tax collectors office in Seminole County or anywhere else for anything improper. I believe there may have been a time where Greenberg swung by the office but it certainly didn’t have anything to do with any bad acts on my part.”

Gaetz also insisted that he’s no longer friends with Greenberg, who is cooperating with prosecutors investigating the congressman:

“When I became aware of some of Greenberg’s misdeeds, I deeply regretted my friendship with him,” he explained. “I do believe that it’s fair for the people of northwest Florida to judge me based on the associations that I’ve had. And I deeply regret my association with Joel Greenberg politically, socially and otherwise.
“But when folks evaluate that, I hope they evaluate it alongside the good work that I’ve done to advance our military mission, to fight for our values and to be a representative in Congress who never fears the battle and is always in the arena for these great folks.”

Every word that Gaetz said during that interview can now be used against him in a court of law to impeach his credibility and prove that he has absolutely no regrets about what he’s allegedly done with underage girls.

Matt Gaetz just made it even more certain that he’s going to be charged, convicted, and sent away for a very long time.
