Testimony shows Ivanka asked daddy to stop Jan. 6 violence

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Rep. Liz Cheney said Sunday that her committee has evidence that then-President Donald Trump's daughter and senior adviser, Ivanka, was among those pleading with the commander in chief to do more to stop the Jan. 6 assault on the Capitol.

"We have firsthand testimony that his daughter Ivanka went in at least twice to ask him to please stop this violence," Cheney said on ABC's "This Week."

Cheney made the comments just days before the one-year anniversary of the attack, which her House committee is continuing to investigate. More public hearings are expected.

On Jan. 6, 2021, then-President Trump spoke at a rally seeking to overturn the results of the November election as Congress was certifying then-President-elect Joe Biden's victory in the Electoral College. Trump urged his supporters to "fight like hell," falsely alleging that the election was rigged.

1. I am going to go out on a limb here and guess that she only asked him

to stop because Lindsey Graham sent her to. She wouldn't give a shit either way.

2. I wonder who gave this first-hand testimony

[Blue Owl]

3. Did she and daddy have a safeword?

4. I wonder if anyone's thought to interview White House kitchen staff on duty at the time?

I bet that man ordered lots of Diet Coke and his favorite snacks so he could sit back and enjoy the show.

5. The Slobfather's intended to remain president

That is the crux of the matter,
Lock him up.

6. "Team Jarvanka" has maintained absolute radio silence since Daddy Dearest

made that final helicopter flight on the way to Mar-A-Lago. It seems like they've been hoping the sands of time would blow the 1/6 stink off of them, where they could proceed to march back into the limelight.

Dear January 6 Committee : Please make that return to the limelight look like nothing at all in line with their expectations.

7. No such luck for them. That 1/6 stink will never go away.

Jared and Ivanka Try to Reenter Polite Society, Are Promptly Told to F--k Off | DEC 01 2021

Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner spent their entire tenure in Washington attempting to cast themselves as people who not only belonged there, but who would one day return to D.C. not as daughter and son-in-law of the commander in chief but as president and first man in their own right. (Yes, as Michael Wolff reported in Fire and Fury, the duo, harboring off-the-chart delusions, “made an earnest deal” that “if sometime in the future the opportunity arose, [Ivanka would] be the one to run for president,” in an exchange that we can only assume involved Ivanka putting her finger to Kushner’s lips and whispering, “It’ll be me. I’ll be the president.”) So when ’Vanky’s dad decided to incite a violent insurrection on the U.S. Capitol in an attempt to overthrow the results of a free and fair election—and Princess Purses, badly miscalculating the situation, called the angry mob “patriots”—it didn’t jibe with the look they were going for. Subsequently, the couple fled to Florida in an apparent attempt to lay low.

And for the past 10 months, save for some presumably orchestrated photo-ops, they mostly have. But for people who clearly view themselves as royalty, not being able to attend society gatherings obviously chafes. With the one-year anniversary of that pesky little attack on democracy coming up, they apparently think enough time has passed that their association with one of the worst days in U.S. history is but a distant memory, and it’s now appropriate to slither back onto the scene, as they did Tuesday night.

The apparent longtime friendliness with Arnault, combined with this being Florida, and not, say, New York City, where the Trump name is near-universally loathed, seemingly made the event a relatively safe space for the couple; it does not appear that they had Champagne thrown in their faces or their clothes spattered with paint intended as a stand-in for the blood of the Americans who died of COVID on Donald (and Jared’s) watch. But it definitely sounds as though many people would prefer they go back into hiding!

“These fascist collaborators should be made to feel unwelcome everywhere they go,” one Twitter user wrote in response to the news. “Do not normalize,” said journalist Kim Masters. “Louis Vuitton giving Ivanka and Jared front-row seats to a show commemorating the late Virgil Abloh is just too much,” tweeted The Daily Beast’s Marlow Stern. “I would prefer they stayed in hiding for the rest of their lives. Sick of looking at either one of them,” said another commentator.

Boo hoo, 'Vanky.

8. It was a coup attempt

Call it what it was!
