Lara Trump Whines Her Father-In-Law Has Been More Victimized Than ‘Anyone In History’

Republican National Committee co-chair Lara Trump was in full persecution mode Wednesday during an appearance on right-wing cable network Newsmax, whining that her father-in-law, failed one-term former president Donald Trump, has been under fire since he announced his first bid for the White House in 2016.

Host Carl Higbie told Mrs. Trump, “You guys, since 2015, since he came down the escalator, have battled fake information and yet, with less money than everybody else, have come out on top most times.”

That led her to whine, “If you wanna look at a family, and I’ll say a man in Donald Trump, who has nothing but misinformation and disinformation that they like to say on the other side of the aisle thrown at him every single day. I mean, there’s never been anyone in history, I don’t think, that has taken as much incoming as Donald Trump, and yet every day it feels like we are vindicated in so many spaces because at some point, Carl, the truth ultimately comes out.”

“People are starting to wake up because you can only lie to people so long.”

The irony of Lara Trump suggesting that you can only lie to people so long is especially rich considering that no one lies as much as her father-in-law.

As for the suggestion that no one has “taken more incoming” than the disgraced ex-president, that too is a laugher. Perhaps Mrs. Trump needs a refresher course in the way the Donald relentlessly suggested that former president Barack Obama hadn’t been born in the United States and was therefore an illegitimate head of state even though birth records clearly show Obama was born in Hawaii, which has been a state since 1959. Obama was born in 1961, making him a citizen and legally qualified to seek office.

Lara got lit up on social media for her whining.

MTG’s Main Squeeze: Eclipse May Lead To ‘Infestation Of Locusts’ And The End Of The World

As the solar eclipse reaches its apex this afternoon across the United States, you may want to keep a close eye on the skies for another site: A swarm of locusts. And those may be followed by the end of the world.

That’s the prediction from Brian Glenn, program director for conservative network Right Wing Broadcasting who also happens to be Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene’s (R-GA) boyfriend.

Glenn made his comments in a frantic video he posted on Twitter in which he warned, “This might be the last normal weekend we have for some time. I mean, we’ve got this solar eclipse on Monday, this very rare solar eclipse, who knows what the fallout from that will be.”

“Plus, that will be combined with several earthquakes, we’ve already seen a few already. Oh, and why not sprinkle in this infestation of locusts that have been dormant for years and all of sudden will attack mankind,” he added.

“And then throw in Joe Biden trying to get into a war with Eye-ran for whatever reason he wants to do that.

“So on that note, have a great weekend. We’ll see you next week. Or maybe NOT.”

The “locusts” Glenn referenced are actually cicadas. Two broods of the insects will emerge this spring. They are harmless and don’t cause the same destructive threat locusts do.

Glenn’s rant was righteously mocked on social media.

Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago Playlist Is A Window Into His Strange And Scattered Mind

Music, the old saying goes, soothes the savage beast.

But in the case of failed one-term former president Donald Trump, it seems that music provides insight into the bizarre and troubled mind of the disgraced ex-head of state, not to mention suggesting that his taste in music is a mix of the sublime and the absurd.

Axios recently got access to some of the Donald’s closest friends who hang out with him at his Mar-a-Lago resort in Palm Beach, Florida, and they revealed that Trump is fond of switching into his alter ego, “Deejay T.”

As expected, even when he’s spinning tunes, Trump insists on being treated like a potentate.

Whether Trump’s in office or out, there’s an unchanging patio scene at Mar-a-Lago. The regulars all know each other, and feel free to drop by Trump’s table.

  • “There’s sometimes a velvet rope next to Trump’s chair. But it more signifies his throne of honor than keeping anyone away. Members tell him how great he’s doing. He’ll often show them a printout of a poll that shows him as the greatest.”

Donald also controls the volume of the music, which is usually ear-shatteringly loud, perhaps to compensate for the age of him and his guests.

“Trump shakes hands as people pass his table near the front. After dinner, he’ll open his iPad and play the hits. Sometimes it’s so loud that people have trouble talking. He marvels at the sound quality filling the garden.”

And what exactly does the disgraced former president play from that iPad? The playlist may surprise you.

  • It’s Trump’s golden oldies: “Phantom of the Opera” … “Jesus Christ Superstar” … and Elvis, including “Suspicious Minds.” Plus “Hello” by Lionel Ritchie … Guns N’ Roses’ “November Rain” … and the duet by James Brown and Luciano Pavarotti, “It’s A Man’s Man’s Man’s World.”
  • Sinéad O’Connor’s “Nothing Compares 2 U” is a favorite. REM snuck in a couple of weeks ago. Elton John’s another favorite.

The only bad thing about letting Trump be DJ? He almost never changes any of the songs, which must be maddening for anyone who wants to see some new tunes added to the rotation.

 “He has been playing the same tunes for eight years and never tires of it — even when others beg him to change the station or follow the teleprompter.”

Granted, there’s no accounting for taste when it comes to what we like in music. But Trump’s choices are more than just eclectic. They seem to suggest something darker and more malignant: An unwillingness to change, no matter the consequences.

Oh, and there’s also this, and it has nothing to do with what tunes he spins: The man is an asshole. No matter what you think of his musical preferences, he’s a clear and present danger to the American republic.

Trump Supporter Says It’s OK Trump Cheated On His Wives: ‘Even Jesus Dated A Hooker’

If you thought you’d heard all of the absurd excuses and rationalizations Trump supporters can make for the bad behavior of their political lord and savior, you may want to go ahead and grab ahold of your socks, because what you’re about to read could well blow them right off your feet.

BoingBoing notes that Davram Stiefler of the Good Liars interviewed a MAGA member who was easily identified by the T-shirt he was wearing. The shirt depicted “Trump as the Terminator with the ‘I’ll be back’ catchphrase.”

But that’s nowhere near the most bizarre thing that took place during said interview, because the Trump fan suggested the Donald’s many affairs are simply irrelevant if you study the Bible and see who Jesus “dated.”

MAGA man: If you look at the history of Jesus, it was hundreds of years later before he was recognized, and that’s probably the same thing that’s going to happen to Donald Trump.

Stiefler: When you see him, the presence that he has in the room, the way he kind of commands the crowd and the way that he’s…

MAGA man: I think that he’s been picked by God, yes.

Stiefler: He wears lifts on his shoes, he wears a lot of make up. He wears a girdle to hold in his belly. Is that something God would do?

MAGA man: First off, if you knew anything about the apostles, they were pretty much all trash. They all had their bad qualities, and even Jesus was dating a hooker.

Actually, Jesus was not dating a hooker. The MAGA man seems to be referencing Mary Magdalene, who may have been a prostitute and was a follower of Christ. But nowhere in the Bible does it say that Jesus and Mary Magdalene were dating or involved in any manner whatsoever.

Of course, it shouldn’t surprise anyone that a Trump supporter doesn’t know what the Bible says. After all, most of them are fake Christians who proclaim their faith but don’t know the first thing about what’s actually in the Bible. If they did, they damn sure wouldn’t be so bigoted towards people of color, immigrants, and women.

The MAGA man in the video got plenty of reaction on Twitter.

MT Greene: Friday Earthquake And Monday Eclipse Are God Telling Us To ‘Repent’

Dime store theologian and full-time crackpot Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) says she knows why there was a 4.8 magnitude earthquake felt across the East Coast on Friday and the reason there will be a solar eclipse next Monday.

According to Greene, it’s God telling us to repent.

Yep, she actually said that.

Taking to Twitter, Greene proudly declared, “God is sending America strong signs to tell us to repent. Earthquakes and eclipses and many more things to come. I pray that our country listens.”

As the note from other Twitter users rightly suggests, the eclipse is a regular phenomenon and earthquakes of varying intensity happen daily worldwide. There’s nothing unique, special, or spiritual about them. And they aren’t punishments from a deity.

Ironically, the epicenter of the earthquake felt in New York City was close to failed former president Donald Trump’s Bedminster golf club, which led to endless mockery by others on social media, who also took time to swat down Greene for her attempt to interpret the will of God.
