Secret meetings, eh? With a bunch of backstabbing jackles and shit talkers? Did anyone make a secret recording? First to leak it gets a deal.

I’m shocked to find that a president who openly talked about overturning an election also talked in secret about overturning an election.

When it was reported earlier this month that Grisham and others were huddling to discuss how to stop Trump 2.0, I didn’t consider this. Not only did she reveal these off-record meetings, but she put long-time Trump employee Harleth in the panel’s sights. Apparently, Trump tried to fire Harleth when he tried to stay on at the Biden White House. When the panel calls him in, he’s going to remember that.

Let’s say for the sake of argument that Trump knew about plans to invade the Capitol, as an option discussed during these meetings.

Notwithstanding how such knowledge might have affected the impeachment outcome (2nd impeachment), but might Trump himself be charged with sedition?

I can hardly wait for the public hearings. Between the insurrection investigation and the legal jeopardy surrounding his business practices, tfg and his spawn should finally be held accountable for the evil they’ve practiced their entire lives. Prison time is more than appropriate.

I’ll give Barron a pass, in fact he has my sympathy.

I’d like to see some of Trump’s Secret Service detail put under oath.

Oath Keepers’ seditious conspiracy activities didn’t happen in a vacuum, so….

I don’t. In fact, I hope he has a glass house.

Also, just a reminder that nooses are designed to tighten and, as Martha Stewart would say, “It’s a good thing.”

Depending on how loyal he was to Trump, he might be there to serve other purposes. I can’t imagine anyone thinking he should stay on.

The Guardian makes it sound like he just really wanted to keep the cushy job. That said, a smart wannabe dictator would have encouraged him to pursue the position. But we’re talking about Trump, where narcissism trumps all.

Barron, is that you?
Just joshin’.
But seriously, he may actually tell us something some day his old man didn’t think he was paying attention to.
Anyone remember the old TV movie “What the Deaf Boy Heard?”
Something similar could always happen, maybe the lad is on to the truth and he’s one of us who considers his narcissistic forbearer a total bore.
Someday he might work for Comedy Central.
Wouldn’t that be precious.

It’s a good thing this is all fake news generated by the deep state to conceal the obvious fact that the election was stolen by baby-eating Satanists. Otherwise TDFFFG might be in some real trouble.

This is why you always treat janitors and other service personnel with dignity and respect.
