Lara Trump WTF?!

Lara Trump’s Cover Of A Beloved Tom Petty Song Has Her In Very Hot Water

 

As is far too often a case, a member of the Trump family is trying to make a political statement with someone else’s creative output, and it’s not only wrong on a moral level, it’s also so God-awful it’d make a dog leave the room.

The culprit this time is Lara Trump, whose only claim to fame is that she’s married to Eric Trump, the son of failed loser and thrice-impeached former president Donald Trump.

Mrs. Trump is on the verge of releasing a cover version of one of the late Tom Petty’s most famous tunes, “I Won’t Back Down,” which is probably the song he’s most associated with.

During the 2020 presidential race, Donald Trump used the song at one of his rallies, which led to Petty’s family sending a cease-and-desist notice to the Trump campaign.

Covering a song, it should be noted, isn’t a violation of copyright law as long as the song is changed in some way. In the case of the Lara Trump cover, it’s been made into a country tune, and it’s so damn bad that listening to just a few seconds may cause you to start bleeding from the ears. You’ve been warned.

For the brave among you, here’s a sample of Lara’s “I Won’t Back Down”:

As was noted, Lara cannot be legally pursued on copyright infringement, but the family can issue another cease-and-desist notice and then seek a court injunction.

But perhaps the hottest water of all for Lara Trump arrived in the form of disgust from social media users.

Pete Buttigieg Eviscerates Trump For His Disgusting Remarks About Wounded Veterans

Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg destroyed failed former president Donald Trump for comments he reportedly made while still in the White House suggesting he didn’t want wounded American veterans to be seen by the public while he was head of state.

The revelation about Trump’s comments came from a Atlantic profile of Gen. Mark Milley, who is retiring as Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. According to Milley, Trump said “no one wants to see” wounded vets, which led the chairman to remark that he believed the ex-president’s attitude of those who served in the military to be “superficial, callous, and, at the deepest human level, repugnant.”

Buttigieg — who served in Afghanistan during his eight years in the Naval Reserve — was asked about the report by CNN host Dana Bash.

“I want to ask you about a new Atlantic profile that says that then President Trump complained to Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Mark Milley after an Army veteran who lost a leg in combat sang at an event at the Pentagon,” Bash told Buttigieg. “Trump reportedly told Milley, ‘Why do you bring people like that here, no one wants to see that, the wounded.'”

“After that article came out, Trump attacked Milley on social media, kind of a rambling post, but suggested that milley deserved the death penalty. You’re a veteran– what’s your response?” she asked

Buttigieg responded:

“It’s just the latest in a pattern of outrageous attacks on the people who keep the country safe.”

The secretary added that veterans who suffer traumatic injuries from warfare should always be honored.

“These are the kind of people that deserve respect and a hell of a lot more than that from every American, and definitely from every American president.”

“And the idea that an American president, the person to whom service members look at as a commander in chief, and the person who sets the tone for this entire country could think that way or act that way or talk that way about anyone in uniform, and certainly about those who put their bodies on the line and sacrificed in ways that most Americans will never understand, and I guess wounded veterans make president Trump feel uncomfortable.”

Trump is a coward and a scumbag. He belongs in prison. He’s certainly not fit to be commander in chief of U.S. forces.

Trump Organization Facing Legal ‘Death Penalty’ From New York Attorney General

Now that she has concrete evidence that Donald Trump and the Trump Organization have been engaged in systematic financial fraud, New York Attorney General Letitia James may be on the verge of imposing the legal “death penalty” on the ex-president’s corporation, according to a former U.S. Attorney.

Joyce Vance, who served as U.S. Attorney for the Northern District of Alabama from 2009 to 2017, was a guest on MSNBC, and she was asked by host Chris Jansing about news that Trump’s former accounting firm, Mazars, has dropped him as a client and declared that his financial statements cannot be trusted:

“So Joyce, let me go to the Trump Organization statement, which is that, ‘this confirmation effectively rendered the investigation by the [Manhattan] DA and the AG. moot.’ Does it?”

Vance replied:

“It absolutely doesn’t, Chris, and one of the intriguing issues here is how did New York’s attorney general come into possession of this letter, which was sent from Trump’s accountant to the Trump Organization? She’s not cc’d on the letter; your accounting firm doesn’t typically send business correspondence to the attorney general in your state.”

Vance added:

“So there’s a suggestion here that Mazars is engaged with the New York attorney general. This whole issue came up as [NY AG] Letitia James was trying to take the depositions of Donald Trump, Donald Trump Jr., and Ivanka Trump, and she’s been forced to justify that position by the Trump folks in the course of that litigation and this document has come out now.”

And then Vance explained how AG James can put a quick end to the Trump Organization:

“Details of other transactions that are highly questionable, and that may be sharp business practices or fraud, but James is likely to get her depositions, and she, of course, has jurisdiction under New York’s Martin Act to protect New York from sharp business practices. she has the authority to curtail businesses’ ability to operate, and even as she did with Trump’s charitable fund, to no longer permit them to operate in the state of New York. So the consequences here, just on the civil side, could be dramatic. The criminal investigation will proceed at its own pace.”

What is the Martin Act? It’s a piece of legislation passed in 1921 that is considered to be the “most severe blue sky law” in the country:

The Martin Act, as interpreted by New York courts, gives the New York State Attorney General exceptionally broad enforcement authority to bring both civil and criminal action without a showing of scienter or intent to defraud.

One of the penalties under the Martin Act is the complete shutdown of a business and forfeiture of its assets. That’s why it’s considered a legal “death penalty” if imposed.

Here’s hoping Letitia James does indeed shut down Trump Org. and then proceed to lock up every member of the company who was involved in this widespread fraud.

Kari Lake Pretends To Be A Superhero And Gets Swatted Down By ‘Wonder Woman’ Star Lynda Carter 

Failed 2020 Arizona GOP gubernatorial candidate Kari Lake and her supporters are trying desperately to help her remain relevant so she can likely run for the U.S. Senate from the Grand Canyon State in next year’s election, but a meme being shared on social media didn’t sit well with a beloved celebrity.

Lake, who also claims undying loyalty to former president Donald Trump, was the subject of the meme, which featured her lake superimposed over that of actress Lynda Carter, who played Wonder Woman on the 1970s television show, Newsweek reports.

With Lake’s anticipated run, a meme recently started circulating on X that showed her face superimposed over that of Carter’s in her hit 1970s TV series Wonder Woman. The show, which was based on the DC superhero character of the same name, aired on ABC and later CBS from 1975 until 1979.

However, Carter, who has often criticized Trump on social media, took umbrage to the image, which sees Lake rebranded as “MAGA Woman”—and she made her feelings known in a blistering statement posted on X on Thursday.

Here’s the meme:

Carter’s response was devastating, especially since it perfectly defined who Lake is and isn’t.

Lake decided to respond to Carter, but she only made matters worse by doing so.

Lake’s reply got her pilloried on Twitter/X, or whatever Elon Musk is calling the site this week.

Trump Says Retiring Joint Chiefs Chairman Mark Milley Deserves ‘DEATH!’ For Disagreeing With Him

Proving for the millionth time that he’s completely unfit for office and deserving of a long prison term, failed one-term, twice-impeached, and four-times indicted former president Donald Trump angrily lashed out at Gen. Mark Milley, who is retiring as Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff next week.

Clearly triggered by a report from the Atlantic that revealed Milley and other top U.S. military officials had to try and restrain Trump from making monumental mistakes in both domestic and foreign policy, the disgraced ex-president suggested on his Truth Social site that Milley was deserving of death for daring to disagree with him.

“Mark Milley, who led perhaps the most embarrassing moment in American history with his grossly incompetent implementation of the withdrawal from Afghanistan, costing many lives, leaving behind hundreds of American citizens, and handing over BILLIONS of dollars of the finest military equipment ever made, will be leaving the military next week. This will be a time for all citizens of the USA to celebrate!”

He then added:

“This guy turned out to be a Woke train wreck who, if the Fake News reporting is correct, was actually dealing with China to give them a heads up on the thinking of the President of the United States. This is an act so egregious that, in times gone by, the punishment would have been DEATH! A war between China and the United States could have been the result of this treasonous act. To be continued!!!”

If Trump happens to win the 2024 election, expect him to turn this country into a police state reminiscent of Nazi Germany. He has no respect for any of the institutions that keep this nation safe, secure, and free.

Donald Trump belongs in prison for the rest of his life. It’s really that simple.
