Capitol Insurrection Donald Trump Ivanka Trump

New Questions Arise After Lindsey Graham Implicates Ivanka Trump In The Jan. 6th Insurrection

We’ve known for a few weeks now that one-term former President Donald Trump’s oldest son, Don Jr., was in frequent contact with then-White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows on January 6, 2021, urging Meadows to tell the ex-president he needed to call off the dogs and urge his supporters to vacate the Capitol where they were rioting.

Now, however, we know that the former president’s favorite child, Ivanka, was acting as a conduit for messages traveling from supporters to the Donald and others in the White House on the day of the insurrection.

Oddly enough, Ivanka’s involvement has become public knowledge thanks to one of the most sycophantic Trump supporters in Congress, Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC), who told CNN’s Manu Raju what he conveyed to the former president’s daughter:

Sen. Lindsey Graham said he didn’t text with Meadows on Jan. 6 —- but told me he spoke with Ivanka Trump to deliver a message to her dad. He said he wanted then-President Trump to “tell his people to leave.”

The Washington Post confirmed Raju’s reporting and added that Graham also told Ivanka:

“You need to get these people out of here. This thing is going south. This is not good. You’re going to have to tell these people to stand down. Stand down.”

Ivanka sent out a tweet on the day of the Capitol insurrection which read:

“American Patriots – any security breach or disrespect to our law enforcement is unacceptable,” she posted at 3:15 p.m. on January 6th. “The violence must stop immediately. Please be peaceful.”

That tweet was later deleted after a wave of criticism because Ivanka had referred to rioters as “Patriots.”

All of this is leading to an inevitable nexus: The Jan. 6 Select Committee will no doubt be demanding all text messages and other communications that were sent by both Ivanka and her husband, Jared Kushner.

With each day it becomes clearer that many in the Trump family were part of a larger conspiracy which was carried out on Jan. 6 at the Capitol. And if it can be proven they broke the law, they need to be referred to the Justice Department for criminal charges.

Eric Trump Is Now Pushing The Idea That Joe Biden Won’t Live Through His Term In Office

Ever since Joe Biden was elected president, those opposed to him have been trying to suggest that he might be in failing health, even though they fail to provide any facts or evidence to support such a premise.

The irony of such morbid speculation is especially rich when you consider that failed, one-term former President Donald Trump was indeed a walking health time bomb. While in office, he was morbidly overweight, often consumed large amounts of fast food, and got almost no exercise.

In contrast, President Biden is toned, eats a balanced diet, and regularly exercises with the use of a Peloton bike.

And yet, despite this contrast, Trump’s son, Eric, is now posting tweets in which he is tacitly endorsing the idea that Biden won’t live out the length of his term in office:

Also included in Eric’s tweet is an attempt to fearmonger among the MAGA faithful by appealing to their racism and misogyny: If Biden doesn’t serve his term, a black woman will replace him!

Eric’s obvious reveling in the idea of another person’s passing is both perverse and disgusting, as many people reminded the twice-impeached former president’s spawn:

Kirstie Alley Gets Destroyed On Twitter After Attacking Jen Psaki

It’s been quite some time since anyone has heard a peep from washed up former “actress” Kirstie Alley, whose last decent acting job was when she was a cast member on the NBC show “Cheers,” which ended in 1993, meaning Alley hasn’t had a good gig in nearly 30 years.

Alley thought it’d be a good idea to go on Twitter and attack White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki as “condescending” and a “mean girl,” which is the height of irony wince Kirstie is the one firing off a mean tweet.

“Omg Jen Saki.. can you answer ANY question FULLY and without that condescending smirk? We are an audience of Americans who are listening in earnest for answers, not mean girl shit. Build your manners back better.”

https://twitter.com/kirstiealley/status/1468918193095905284?s=20
 

Ah yes, if only we still had brain dead do-nothings in the White House press office. Remember Sean Spicer? He was such a dud that he wound up only being able to get a part-time job on “Dancing With the Stars.”

There was also Stephanie Grisham, who never held a single press briefing during her tenure as press secretary.

And let’s not forget Kayleigh McEnany a.k.a Princess Holier-Than-Thou, who was fond of saying he would never lie to the media because it’d be a sin and then proceeded to spin more lies than everyone on the planet other than her then-boss, Donald Trump.

Kirstie Alley might have thought she’d get lots of praise for her asinine tweet at Psaki, but what she wound up getting was an internet beating. Take a look:

Trump Ordered To Testify Under Oath In New York Fraud Investigation

Failed, one-term, twice-impeached former President Donald Trump has been notified that he will have to sit for a sworn deposition in the civil fraud case against him in New York.

The Washington Post reports:

New York Attorney General Letitia James is seeking a deposition from former president Donald Trump early next year as part of her investigation into potential fraud inside the Trump Organization, according to people familiar with the matter.

James has requested to take his testimony on Jan. 7 at her New York office as part of a civil investigation into whether Trump’s company committed financial fraud in the valuations of properties to different entities, according to the people, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because the inquiry is ongoing.

One of the people familiar with the investigation said James is examining whether widespread fraud “permeated the Trump Organization.”

Notified of the deposition date, a spokesperson for the Trump Organization used one of the ex-president’s favorite invocations whenever he’s being investigated:

“This is another political witch-hunt,” the statement said, noting that James is running for governor next year. “The only focus of the New York AG is to investigate Trump, all for her own political ambitions … This political prosecution is illegal, unethical and is a travesty to our great state and legal system.”

James is clearly turning up the heat on Trump, who is also under criminal investigation by Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus Vance Jr. Vance suspects Trump and his company inflated the value of real estate assets in order to get larger loans from lenders and later devalued those same properties to avoid paying the required taxes. Bank and tax fraud are just two of the crimes under investigation by Vance.

The former president’s son, Eric, has given a deposition in the fraud investigation being conducted by James. He originally refused to sit for a deposition but later relented. That deposition was given in October of last year, shortly before American voters booted the Donald Trump from the White House and replaced him with President Joe Biden.

The danger of Trump giving a deposition cannot be overstated, according to biographer Tim O’Brien, who has written extensively about the ex-president:

“He can’t be scripted, and he’s injudicious, and he often doesn’t understand that the process is about events and facts, rather than being performance art.”

GOP Joe Biden WTF?!

RNC Chair Tries To Blame Burning Of Fox News Christmas Tree On (Wait For It…) Joe Biden

Early Wednesday, the Fox News Christmas tree was set ablaze, the Washington Post reports:

The towering Christmas tree outside the Fox News headquarters in New York was set on fire early Wednesday, causing first responders to race to extinguish a blaze that engulfed the 50-foot tree in Midtown Manhattan.

Video posted to social media shows flames and smoke coming off the decorated tree shortly after midnight just outside the News Corp. building. The network cut in for a live broadcast of the blaze at Fox News Square, just days after the tree, covered in thousands of lights and ornaments, was ceremoniously lit to ring in the holidays.

A man was later arrested for the act:

Craig Tamanaha, 49, was arrested early Wednesday and charged with setting the fire, a New York Police Department spokesperson told The Washington Post. Tamanaha faces charges including criminal mischief, reckless endangerment and arson. The man “was observed by Fox News Channel security climbing the Christmas tree decorated outside their office building near the corner of West 48 Street and Sixth Avenue” about 12:15 a.m., police said.

End of story, right? Not according to Republican National Committee (RNC) Chair Ronna McDaniel, who went on Fox and tried to blame the whole thing on President Joe Biden.

McDaniel was asked to predict how she thought the GOP would do in the 2022 midterms. She remarked:

“What this poll is telling us is we’re going to take back the House and the Senate and the American people want a change. Biden is underwater. Harris’s approval is under 30% and Republicans are more trusted on three key issues: the economy, inflation and crime.

“And these are issues we’re seeing every day on our streets, around our homes, in our communities, on the news. Look at your Christmas tree that was just burned down. This is a huge problem for Democrats.”

Wait! What was that? A random act of arson is a problem for Democrats? Sounds like a bit of a stretch, and it also suggests Republicans are in big trouble, despite their bragging about how they intend to win in 2022.
