it's my own issue and I won't open up a Trump thread again, but I think he is a monster and it’s hard for me to understand how any of you can find him funny or ironic or laughable in any way

(xpost) You'll never read this, because I know you're swearing off Trump threads forever, but--whether laughing at him (hopefully) or with him (ugh), that "any of you" accounts for what, 90% of anyone who knows who he is?

SCOOP: The House select committee investigating Jan. 6 sent a subpoena last week to ALEX HOLDER, a documentary filmmaker who was granted extensive access to President DONALD TRUMP and his inner circle, and who shot interviews with the then-president both before and after Jan. 6. The existence of this footage is previously unreported.A source familiar with the project told Playbook on Monday night that Holder began filming on the campaign trail in September 2020 for a project on Trump’s reelection campaign. Over the course of several months, Holder had substantial access to Trump, Trump’s adult children and VP MIKE PENCE, both in the White House and on the campaign trail.According to the subpoena, which was obtained exclusively by Playbook, the committee wants three main things from Holder:(1) Raw footage from Jan. 6.(2) Raw footage of interviews from September 2020 to present with Trump, Pence, DONALD TRUMP JR., IVANKA TRUMP, ERIC TRUMP and JARED KUSHNER.(3) Raw footage “pertaining to discussions of election fraud or election integrity surrounding the November 2020 presidential election.”Holder is expected to fully cooperate with the committee in an interview scheduled for Thursday. Read the full subpoenaTODAY’S JAN. 6 HEARING — At 1 p.m., the committee will gavel in for a hearing that centers on the pressure campaign Trump and his allies mounted to get state officials to overturn the 2020 election, including attempts to advance slates of “alternate electors” to flip the results in Trump’s favor.As our Nicholas Wu and Kyle Cheney report this morning, that plan was concocted even before the election was actually called.

When he was a small child, Mr. Trump said, he went with his family to the Hamptons. While there, he acted at Gosman’s (Montauk’s best-known seafood spot) in a way that “exceeded the limits” of everyone’s patience. His mother, he said, took him to the bathroom and showed him “what Eastern European discipline was really all about.”When it was over, he said, she told him, “And if you cry, we’re going to come back in here and do this again.”The younger Mr. Trump — whose fiancée, the former Fox News personality Kimberly Guilfoyle, sat across the aisle from him — told another story about his sister Ivanka destroying a very pricey chandelier while playing in the house with a beach ball. “Ivanka managed to quickly convince my mother that it was me,” he said.That time, the “remedy,” as he put it, was a “wooden spoon,” and what made his mother even more irate as she spanked him was his fervent denial of having played any role in the misbehavior. “Not only had I broken the chandelier, but now I was also lying to her,” he said.But by the time she realized he was telling the truth, Mr. Trump said, she was “too tired to deal with Ivanka.”
