Capitol Insurrection Donald Trump Eric Trump January 6

Eric Trump May Have Incriminated His Dad With Videotaped Remarks On The Jan. 6 Attack

Alex Holder is a British documentary filmmaker who spoke with members of failed, one-term, twice-impeached former president Donald Trump’s family during the 2020 campaign — including in the days leading up to the January 6, 2021 attack on the Capitol — and portions of his upcoming film, “Unprecedented,” were subpoenaed by the House Select Committee investigating the Capitol insurrection.

According to The Independent, which spoke with Holder, ex-president Trump’s son, Eric, seemed to indicate that the family believed violence was a viable response to what they thought had been a stolen election:

“When I asked Eric about the potential danger of sort of rhetoric and the sort of the belligerence, he felt that it was … fair game in that it … was sort of the equivalent on the other side of the political discourse, or he felt that it was the right thing to do … because the election was stolen.”

Holder also revealed that he wasn’t surprised when the rioting began at the Capitol because of all the anger and vitriol that had been spewed by the former president from the moment it became clear he had lost the election in a landslide to President Joe Biden:

“The idea of violence, to me, seemed likely because of the fact that when you tell 75 million people that their vote didn’t count, and the person that’s telling you that is not just the guy you voted for, but also the incumbent President of the United States, the chance of violence was always there.”

Eric’s remarks are especially troublesome for his father, who has repeatedly insisted that he never thought anyone would storm the Capitol and that he was merely calling for a peaceful protest on the day thousands of his supporters broke into the seat of government with chants of “Hang Mike Pence” and open calls to find and kill key Democrats, including Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi.

Eric Trump has made his father’s already perilous legal situation much worse.

WATCH: Jamie Raskin Humiliates Lauren Boebert By Quoting Donald Trump

Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD) masterfully countered lies told by Republican Congresswoman Lauren Boebert of Colorado during a House Oversight Committee hearing, and he did it by using the words of Boebert’s political lord and savior, disgraced ex-president Donald Trump.

Boebert went on an extended rant during the hearing, criticizing mask and vaccine mandates:

“You’re right. President Trump was in office when the COVID virus was released from a lab in China. And he tried to make that very clear that this came from China, and reporters regularly dismissed that.”

There’s just one ENORMOUS problem with Boebert’s “facts” regarding Trump and China during the COVID crisis: They don’t reflect what actually happened or what the failed former president said at the time, as Raskin quickly reminded his Republican colleague.

“I appreciate the gentlelady’s passion. There’s two facts that she should perhaps be alerted to. One is that Donald Trump, on more than 20 different occasions, defended the performance of the Chinese government and specifically President Xi in terms of his treatment of COVID-19 and said he was doing a ‘wonderful job’ and a ‘great job’ and they were working closely and they were constantly in touch.

“So, if there’s a problem with the Chinese government unleashing a virus ― which has not been proven anywhere, but it certainly could be true ― you would have to pin that on your favorite president, Donald Trump, not on Joe Biden.”

Raskin also noted that Trump’s own top adviser on COVID, Dr. Deborah Birx, admitted in her book that her former boss and his feckless policies on the virus led to hundreds of thousands of deaths.

“So you don’t have to believe anybody on the Democratic side of the aisle. That’s Donald Trump’s own special adviser on COVID-19.”

Game, set, and match Jamie Raskin.

Trump Attacks Female Journalist As ‘Dumb As A Rock’ – Her Clapback Is Hilarious

Failed, one-term, twice-impeached former president Donald Trump is furious with Olivia Nuzzi of New York magazine for her report on him and his 2024 campaign for the GOP presidential nomination, which insiders report consists of the disgraced ex-president playing golf and little else.

“He just goes, plays golf, comes back, and fucks off. He has retreated to the golf course and to Mar-a-Lago… His world has gotten much smaller. His world is so, so small.”

Another told Nuzzi that Trump is terrified of no longer being relevant:

“He doesn’t have anything else to do… What else can he do? Why did he see Kanye? He wants to be relevant and wants the limelight. He’s thirsty.”

That report clearly triggered Donald, who took to his failing Truth Social site and viciously attacked Nuzzi, writing:

“The Fake & Corrupt News is only getting worse! As an example, I agreed to do a short telephone interview for a once very good, but now on its ‘last legs’ and failing, New York Magazine. The reporter was a shaky & unattractive wack job, known as ‘tough’ but dumb as a rock, who actually wrote a decent story about me a long time ago. Her name, Olivia Nuzzi. Anyway, the story was Fake News, her ‘anonymous source’” don’t exist (true with many writers), and I’m happily fighting hard for our GREAT USA!”

Ms. Nuzzi is NOT unattractive, and for Trump to refer to someone else as a “wack job” is the height of both hypocrisy and irony, which is always the case whenever Donald attacks someone’s looks or intelligence. It’s classic psychological projection on his part because he knows he’s an obese, balding, 76-year-old man who allegedly has to pay women hundreds of thousands of dollars to even agree to look at him without his clothes on.

It would have been easy for Nuzzi to point all of that out in her response to Trump’s posting. Instead, she used two photos we all remember seeing during the solar eclipse on August 21, 2017, which the then-president viewed from the Truman Balcony at the White House.

Game, set, and match Olivia Nuzzi. Mic drop.

Congress GOP Whining WTF?!

Dense Boebert Admits She Needs At Least 5 Days To Read One Piece Of Legislation

Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) is not very bright. After all, she needed three attempts before she was finally able to pass the GED exam, which she tries to spin as a positive thing, suggesting that she got a lot more education by having kids at a young age and marrying a man who got caught flashing his penis at underage girls in a bowling alley.

And now Boebert is admitting she’s so intellectually challenged that she needs at least five days to read any legislation before she can vote on it, posting this video online:

Granted, bills should indeed be read, but does it take five days to do that? Perhaps if Ms. Boebert spent less time on Twitter and making appearances on right-wing podcasts, she’d have more time to sit down and actually do her damn job.

Also, if the job is too tough for Lauren, then why in the hell is she running for reelection? Probably because her beloved gun-totin’-themed restaurant, Shooters Grill, has now closed and she needs the money and benefits a government job provides.

But wait a minute! Isn’t Boebert one of those “small government” right wingers who thinks we need to cut back on everything? Apparently that only applies to others, because she damn sure insists on getting paid, courtesy of taxpayers, naturally.

Five days to read legislation? What good will that do when Bobo can’t even prove that she knows how to read in the first place?

Elections The Trump Adminstration WTF?!

Melania Asked If She’d Get A Budget And Staff After She Left The White House

Donald and Melania Trump are now Floridians, residing at the former president’s Mar-a-Lago resort.

But according to CNN, before her husband left office, the former first lady wanted to know if she could get more goodies and have taxpayers foot the bill for them:

“In mid-November, as President Donald Trump railed against the election results, his wife, first lady Melania Trump publicly agreed with his sentiments. But privately, a handful of days after the final state tally, the first lady tasked an emissary with discreetly finding out what was available to her in terms of budget and staff allocation for post-White House life.”

Budget and staff? Really? Haven’t she and her husband fleeced the Treasury out of enough money already?

The answer to Melania’s query came back quickly:

“The short answer is no. While there are post-presidential perks for such things for the outgoing commander in chief, budgets to set up an official office and staff and cover some travel costs, there is nothing from the government for any first lady, save a paltry $20,000-a-year pension, which is paid out only if her husband dies.”

All of this led to some interesting commentary on Twitter:

As the old saying reminds us, A grifter is always gonna grift.
