'[Trump:] "Robert E. Lee is considered by many Generals to be the greatest strategist of them all. [...]"

[... Trump] went on to accuse "the Radical Left" of destroying "our culture" — [but ...] wasn't explicit as to who counts as part of "our" society.

Trump concluded, "If only we had Robert E. Lee to command our troops in Afghanistan, that disaster would have ended in a complete and total victory many years ago. What an embarrassment we are suffering because we don't have the genius of a Robert E. Lee!"

[...] Lee abandoned the United States, took up arms against the American military, and helped lead a war that killed hundreds of thousands of Americans. Lee did so, not in pursuit of honorable goals, but because he, a slave owner, believed in fighting for the South's commitment to the institution of slavery.

What's more, evidence of Lee's strategic "genius" is hard to find. He did, after all, lose after making dubious decisions. And while Trump may believe that Lee could've prevailed as a military leader in Afghanistan, Lee's only relevant experience is failing badly in a protracted land war.'

'Twenty years after 9/11, we can still hear Donald Trump's reaction to the terrorist attacks – and it was a strange one.

[...] called into the TV station WWOR to talk about the day's tragic events. Then, oddly, he turned his attention to the height of one of his properties, which he falsely claimed was now the tallest building in lower Manhattan.

[...] By the time of Mr Trump's interview, both buildings of the World Trade Center had collapsed after planes hijacked by Al Qaeda terrorists had smashed into them. Two other planes had also crashed into the Pentagon in Washington, DC, and into a field near Shanksville, Pennsylvania, killing everyone onboard.

[...] Later in the interview, he complained about the closing of the New York Stock Exchange.

[...] Trump explained how he witnessed part of the attacks.

"I have a window that looks directly at the World Trade Center and I saw this huge explosion," [...]

"And even, I think, worse than that, for years I've looked right directly at the building. [...] And now I'm looking at absolutely nothing. It's just gone. And it's just hard to believe."'

[...] This Saturday, the far-right will congregate for the "Justice for J6" rally. [...] after their botched siege of the United States Capitol on January 6[...]


But despite the fact that the rally was created, sponsored, and endorsed by the most extreme members of the far-right, conspiracy theorists are suggesting that the event is a secret government plot to arrest more people involved with the earlier Capitol attack.


The users who frequent far-right Facebook groups and extremist forums such as TheDonald and 4chan are urging others to stay far away from the event.'

"The election was rigged, and we're not going to have a country left in three years, I'll tell you that." Spicer then frantically attempted to end the interview, but asked one last question about whether Trump will run in 2024 despite the possible nationwide apocalypse.

'Pence tried every way he could to come up with a rationale to do Trump's bidding and refuse to ceremonially confirm the electoral count in the joint session of Congress on January 6th. On that morning, before the fateful rally that inspired the insurrection, Pence came to the White House to reluctantly tell his boss that he just didn't have the power to do that under the Constitution:

Gesturing at some of his supporters already gathered and shouting outside the White House, Trump asked, "Well, what if these people say you do?

When Pence demurred again, Trump mused, "wouldn't it almost be cool to have that power?"

[...] Trump watching the event unfold and being unmoved by exhortations to step in from everyone from his daughter Ivanka to House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, to whom he reportedly said, "well, Kevin, I guess these people are more upset about the election than you are."'

[... Trump:] "Our hearts and minds are with the people being persecuted so unfairly relating to the January 6th protest concerning the Rigged Presidential Election."'

[...] "All right, not gonna lie, I had to Google 'corn hole' because I have the game in the back of my yard, but according to Wikipedia, corn hole is a sexual slang vulgarism for anus.

"It's the takeover of the US military," [...]


[...] "[...] a new political purity test," Carlson said. "One designed to separate the obedient from the free. Can't have any of the latter category."


[...] Carlson also said he had obtained a US army slideshow about vaccines which he said listed "the so-called tenets of satanism which are taken from the Temple of Satanism website. So here you have the United States Army doing PR for satanists".

'Sunny Hostin and Ana Navarro were abruptly asked to leave the stage of The View live on-air [...] just as Joy Behar was introducing Vice President Kamala Harris. When the show returned from an impromptu commercial break, Behar revealed that both co-hosts had just tested positive for COVID-19.

[...] a voice from off-camera asked Hostin and Navarro to "step off for a second." When Behar asked if should introduce Harris as planned, one producer's voice replied "yes" while another shouted "no!"

[...] "No matter how hard we try, these things happen, they probably have a breakthrough case. They're both vaccinated up the wazoo!"'

Behar promised that the vice president would still join any minute after the table had been "wiped down."

What followed was a chaotic attempt to take questions from masked audience members without microphones. "This is called live television," Behar joked as the situation further deteriorated.

At one point, the show's producer informed both Behar and her remaining co-host Sara Haines that they would be interviewing Harris "remotely"—even though she was in the building—out of an abundance of caution. But each time the show returned, she was nowhere to be seen.

[...] Asked if it's time to get "tougher" on mandates and "make life less pleasant for the unvaccinated," the vice president merely said that Americans should "be responsible," adding, "folks just need to get vaccinated."'

'Aide Would Play Trump Show Tunes to Calm Him Down: Book

Trump’s aides specifically designated a White House official to play his favorite show tunes to soothe his temper. The startling assertion has been made by Stephanie Grisham, the first press secretary in American history to hold no press briefings, who plans to release a tell-all book next week. The book[...] does not name the aide whose job it was to pipe showstoppers such as “Memory” from Cats into the Oval Office. But Grisham later identifies the official, nicknamed the “Music Man,” as her ex-boyfriend, and The New York Times reports that he is Max Miller, now a Trump-backed congressional candidate.

[...] During the leaders’ meeting, a top Trump adviser on Russia, Fiona Hill, leaned over to Grisham. Hill asked quietly if Grisham had noticed that Putin’s translator was “a very attractive brunette,” Grisham writes. “She proceeded to tell me that she suspected the woman had been selected by Putin specifically to distract our president.”'

[...] "Mnuchin often placed himself between the president and what the Treasury secretary saw as colossally counterproductive moves. His time as a Hollywood producer — making him a representative of the set whose approval Trump craved — gave him influence that others in the administration lacked."'
