Lara Trump Is Already Whining That The Upcoming Presidential Debates Are ‘Rigged’

Even though President Joe Biden agreed Wednesday that he will indeed debate former president Donald Trump at least twice in the months ahead, it wasn’t enough for the Trump campaign, which immediately began whining and moaning on right-wing media.

Take, for example, Republican National Committee co-chair Lara Trump, who showed up on Fox News and was prompted by host Sean Hannity, “But the fact that your father-in-law has said yes to two liberal networks and Fox, I think is fair.”

That led Lara to whine, “We want to see more of them on a stage, not less. And you’re right, it’s rigged so heavily in Joe Biden’s favor but everything always is.”

“It’s rigged so heavily in Joe Biden’s favor, but everything always is! You’ve got Hollywood against Donald Trump. You’ve got the music industry against Donald Trump. Mainstream media. Despite that and even the judicial system at this point, he is beating Joe Biden in every poll out there. It’s amazing to see.”

How, you may ask, is it “rigged?” Well, according to the Trump campaign, it’s because the debates will be hosted by CNN and ABC News, but Fox will be left out. Considering that Fox isn’t actually news and settled a massive multimillion dollar lawsuit for disseminating lies about the 2020 election, there’s no reason to let the conservative outlet have a shot at hosting anything.

Jim Jordan Gets His A*s Handed To Him At Hearing For Defending ‘Degenerate Spoiled Brat’ Trump

Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) was thoroughly humiliated at a hearing of the House Judiciary Committee when Democratic Congresswoman Stacey Plaskett (VI) accused him of holding a hearing on the “weaponization” of government by the Biden administration for one purpose: To protect failed former president Donald Trump from his dozens of alleged crimes.

“Why are we back this time?” Plasket asked. “We’re here because former President Trump is on trial in New York. That’s why we’re here.”

“On Monday and Tuesday of this week, his former attorney Michael Cohen delivered devastating testimony implicating former President Trump in a hush money payment scheme,” she continued. “We all know that the former president exacts loyalty from all of his followers and especially GOP officials and those that work for him. Blind loyalty.”

Plaskett also mocked Republicans who “hightailed it to New York City to show him that they are with him.”

“And Trump, in turn, demands that every Republican official serve him like the incorrigible, degenerate, spoiled brat that he is and use their positions to aid his criminal defense.”

The congresswoman accused Jordan of holding the hearing to placate right-wing media figures such as Fox’s Maria Bartiromo and ex-Trump administration adviser Steve Bannon, who now hosts a podcast.

“We’re here at the beck and call of Trump fanatics and talking heads on cable and internet talk shows in the MAGA world who, like Bartiromo and Bannon, have goaded this committee to act.”

Of course, the congresswoman is absolutely right. Jordan and his ilk are desperate to cover Trump’s tracks and divert attention away from the 88 criminal charges he’s facing for allegedly interfering in the 2020 election, inciting an insurrection, and stealing classified documents.

But those who try and excuse the depraved acts of a lifetime criminal like Trump are in many ways just as guilty as he is and deserve to be voted out of office and charged for their crimes, too.

Former Aide Explains Why Melania Stays With Donald Despite His Disgusting Behavior

A former top aide to Melania Trump says the reason the ex-first lady remains with Donald Trump has nothing to do with love or keeping the family together. Instead, their marriage is just a business transaction.

Speaking with CNN’s Jake Tapper yesterday, Stephanie Winston Wolkoff noted, “I think people have to remember who Melania really is.”

“There is no enigma, there is no mysteriousness,” she added. “Melania really is who she has portrayed herself to be. There is a strength within her that is unlike any other individual I have ever met. She does not care what others feel about her nor does she feel she had to ever explain anything to the American people.”

Donald and Ivanka have a “transactional marriage,” Wolkoff explained.

“By marrying Donald, Melania really did finally get to be the Vogue cover model that she’s always wanted to be, that supermodel, and by marrying Melania, Donald was legitimized as trying to get away from that whole playboy mentality that everyone wanted to characterize him as.”

As the ex-president faces a possible criminal conviction in New York for paying hush money to Stormy Daniels and interfering with the 2016 election, no one should expect Melania to show up at the courthouse with her husband, Wolkoff said.

“I don’t think we’re going to see Melania Trump accompanying Donald to court,” Wolkoff said. “Melania is Melania’s own person, in regards, again, to a marriage that you want to consider to be something that most people are trying to still understand, don’t.”

“I do not see her supporting him this way because she is not someone who, I think, that you can feel that humiliation without having to put yourself in front of the cameras. Everything Melania does is staged, so everything is articulated in a way for her before she does her interviews. So everything, like I said, is very strategically planned. She is not going to put herself in a position where she’s giving anyone the opportunity to say anything negative about her.”

How romantic! Donnie and Mel are using each other and love money and power more than they do anything else. They’re perfect for each other because no one else would have them.

Liz Cheney Slam Dunks Mike Johnson After He Shows Up At Trump’s Hush Money Trial

Former GOP Rep. Liz Cheney (WY) couldn’t contain her disgust when it was reported that Speaker of the House Mike Johnson (R-LA) would be in attendance today at failed former president Donald Trump’s New York hush money trial.

Earlier in the morning, The Hill reported that Johnson would indeed become the latest Republican to appear and offer moral support to Trump.

In a statement confirming Johnson’s appearance in Manhattan, the Speaker’s office called the hush money case “the sham prosecution of President Trump” and railed against “left-wing Manhattan district attorney” Alvin Bragg, who led the investigation into the former president.

On Monday, Sens. J.D. Vance (R-OH) and Tommy Tuberville (R-AL) were at the Manhattan courthouse. Both spewed fact-free conspiracy theories about Trump’s prosecution for falsifying business records and illegally interfering in the 2016 election.

But having the current speaker show up was a bridge too much for Cheney, who lit into Johnson on Twitter.

Others on social media also joined in mocking Johnson.

Social Media Explodes With Laughter When Eric Trump Says The Trumps Are A ‘Good Family’

According to Eric Trump, his family has never done anything the least bit wrong, illegal, or immoral, and is the very definition of a “good family.”

During an appearance on Fox News over the weekend, Eric was asked about the ongoing hush money trial against his disgraced father.

“Well, Mark. A hundred and ten subpoenas in the last seven years. Those are ones that I’ve received personally. … I’ve never gotten so much as a traffic ticket,” Eric whined. “We’re a good family. Never have done anything wrong.”

“The way that they’ve come after my father since he’s gone down that escalator is unthinkable,” he added.

Never done anything wrong? As HuffPost notes, that claim doesn’t comport with the recent string of legal judgments against former president Donald Trump and the Trump Organization.

“In the last year or so alone, Donald Trump has been found liable in separate civil cases for fraud, defamation and sexual abuse, racking up hundreds of millions of dollars in penalties.”

“He has been criminally indicted four times. He faces federal charges related to his handling of classified documents and his attempt to overturn the 2020 election. He is also battling state-level charges in Georgia over election subversion, and is currently on trial in New York for allegedly falsifying business records to cover up a $130,000 hush money payment to a porn star who says she had sex with him the year after he married his current wife.”

Twitter users were only too happy to slap Eric down with an online fact check.
