Don Jr. Social Media Rant Goes Viral For All the Wrong Reasons

Don Jr. Social Media Rant Goes Viral For All the Wrong Reasons

Donald Trump Jr. uploaded a bizarre rant to Facebook on Friday, which went viral over the weekend for all the wrong reasons.

The nearly 5-minute video titled “Pathetic: Biden can’t read a teleprompter!” has been viewed on Trump Jr.’s Facebook page over 390,000 times, but on Twitter, where critics derided the clip, it has been seen by millions as the former first son trended on the social media platform.

“I was a massive Joe Biden fan and liberal until I saw this video and now I want to vote Republican.”

The Tax Man Will Be Tapping Trump's Shoulder Soon
The "highly unusual" move by the Republican National Committee to pay $1.6 million in Donald Trump's legal bills has personal tax implications for the former, a watchdog group argued on Friday.

"Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW) today sent Donald Trump a letter to remind him that he will need to pay taxes on any money the Republican National Committee spends to cover his legal bills," the watchdog group wrote. "As these are Trump’s personal legal expenses arising from his personal businesses, any dollar the RNC spends on covering Trump is taxable income for him under the law."

The Old Republican Bait & Switch Tactic

Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO) appeared on Fox News Thursday night and declared that Democrats do not accept election results when they lose.

Hawley, of course, was one of the Republican lawmakers who, on Jan. 6 2021, objected to the certification of Joe Biden as the winner of the 2020 presidential election. Earlier that morning, Hawley infamously raised a fist in the direction of Trump supporters protesting the results of the election.

Weird, The CIA Puts Out Contradictory Statement.

In a new intelligence assessment, the CIA has ruled out that the mysterious symptoms known as Havana Syndrome are the result of a sustained global campaign by a hostile power aimed at hundreds of U.S. diplomats and spies, six people briefed on the matter told NBC News.

In about two dozen cases, the agency cannot rule out foreign involvement, including many of the cases that originated at the U.S. Embassy in Havana beginning in 2016. Another group of cases is considered unresolved. But in hundreds of other cases of possible symptoms, the agency has found plausible alternative explanations, the sources said.

Say What? A Bipartisan Effort To Ban Lawmakers From Trading Stocks. 

Almost 10 years ago, Congress overwhelmingly passed the STOCK Act — requiring members and their spouses to disclose when they buy or sell stocks. The rare bipartisan bill flew through both chambers after a series of national news stories raised questions about whether lawmakers were profiting from their jobs.

Now there's a bipartisan push again — this time to ban lawmakers from trading individual stocks at all.
