Trump Will Be Deposed Under Oath Next Week, and You Know What Happens When Trumps Are Under Oath – Vanity Fair

While Trump was not present when the incident occurred, lawyers for the plaintiff want to question him to determine if he is responsible for his employees conduct. While we cant say for sure if the former real estate developer instructed his security team to allegedly assault the plaintiffs, hes obviously a huge fan of violence, havingtoldsupporters at a rally to knock the crap out of protesters,instructedpolice officers to let suspects heads knock against the side of their squad cars, and insisted that a violent insurrection that left five people dead was justified.

Trumps lawyers did not respond to CNNs request for comment.

In addition to next weeks deposition, Trump has also been ordered by a separate judge to answer questions under oath by December 23, in the defamation suit brought against him by former Apprentice contestant Summer Zervos, who accused Trump of defaming her when he denied her allegations of sexual assault. According to Zervos, during a meeting to discuss a job, Trump thrust his genitals on her and groped her breast. As Trump declared during the infamous Access Hollywood tape, Im automatically attracted to beautiful womenI just start kissing them, its like a magnet. Just kiss. I dont even wait. And when youre a star, they let you do it. You can do anything. Grab em by the pussy.

In related news, in December 2020 and February 2021, respectively, Ivanka Trump and Donald Trump Jr. were deposed under oath by D.C.s attorney general, and it certainly seemed as though they lied about their involvement in their fathers 2017 inauguration. So theres probably at least a tiny possibility Trump will also fail to tell the truth.

Insane Texas school district declares teachers must include opposing perspectives on the Holocaust in classrooms

As weve noted a number of times around these parts, Texas has rapidly become an uninhabitable hellhole that should pop up on Zillow when people are looking at properties at Guantanamo Bayas a neighborhood you might also be interested in. Abortion has effectively been banned at six weeks, the governor practically insists everyone must get COVID, you can carry a gun without a license, background check, or training, and Ted Cruz could be lurking around the corner, unless hes en route to Cancn. Oh, and now at least one school district is insisting teachers give equal weight to Holocaust deniers as they do to people who actually accept the fact that the Holocaust happened.

Per NBC News:

A top administrator with the Carroll Independent School Districtin Southlakeadvised teachers last week that if they have a book about the Holocaust in their classroom, they should also offer students access to a book from an opposing perspective, according to an audio recording obtained by NBC News. Gina Peddy, the Carroll school districts executive director of curriculum and instruction, made the comment Friday afternoon during a training session on which books teachers can have in classroom libraries. The training came four days after the Carroll school board, responding to a parents complaint, voted to reprimand a fourth-grade teacher who had kept an anti-racism book in her classroom. A Carroll staff member secretly recorded the Friday training and shared the audio with NBC News.

Just try to remember the concepts of [House Bill] 3979, Peddy said in the recording, referring toa new Texas lawthat requires teachers to present multiple perspectives when discussing widely debated and currently controversial issues. And make sure that if you have a book on the Holocaust, Peddy continued, that you have one that has an opposing, that has other perspectives.
